A former U.S. surgeon general is criticizing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention following the rollout of new federal guidance on mask wearing, saying the CDC “fumbled the ball on the one-yard line.”
“I think this was an appropriate call based on the science,” Jerome Adams said on CNN Monday morning. “I think the play call was right, but they fumbled the ball at the one-yard line in terms of communicating this to the public.”
Adams, who was a top messaging officer for former President Trump‘s coronavirus response team, said many of his colleagues in public health described to him a feeling of being “blind-sided” by the new CDC guidance.
