something that cdc director walensky has defended since and today on the call with the briefing with reporters she did say she wants to restore communication and make it better at the cdc. of course, whether or not that happens or if it's too late for people to restore the trust in the cdc is a big question because each the cdc scientists have said the process of putting that guidance together at times doesn't really go outside of a small circle of walensky's advisers and so then by the time it's out and people are raising questions about certain ways it was announced, certain ways it was implemented it's too late to have that process where other people could have waited and said maybe this sounds more reasonable or maybe this is a better way to explain the science to people, and so it's just been a massive issue within the cdc for months now when it comes to messaging. it was last year on masking. it was when the delta wave hit over the summer and now it still is, unfortunately, in 2022. >> kaitlan collins appreciate the live update. urge everybody to read the full report at cnn.com. our reporters are back with us.
