and overwhelming information to americans. is that good enough at this point? critics pointing out walensky coming clean about the cdc s mishandling the response to a once in a generation pandemic is just words. one of the cdc s harshest critics with this. like so many things in the cdc, the left has misdiagnosed the problem and they will misapply the solution. it wasn t that they acted too sparingly. the problem was they acted too quickly and not based on science. they were reacting every week with a new edict that contradicted the previous week. they became obsessed and thought they knew the truth. harris: chaotic mixed messages on everything, mask, vaccines, schools, booster. the impact of all that. confusion, panic, distrust, social and economic devastation. although we re seeing progress in terms of it. hospitalizations and deaths, variants are a wild card. we plan to be transparent in terms of the administration numbers. people want to understand the decision and
that supports what lee said. there needs to be more oversight and more accountability. mr. chairman, my time is expired. these points are very clear to all of us today in this hearing room. i yelled back. i now recognize mr. garcia he left. i now recognize miss green from georgia for 5 minutes of questions. thank you, mr. chairman. mr. fauci, you were quoted saying, it is easy to criticize, but they are really criticizing science, because i represent science. do you represent science, mr. fauci? i am a scientist that uses the scientific method to gain information. you said you represent science. do you represent science, yes or no? that s not a y a yes or it s a yes or no. we will take that is you don t know what you represent. this is director of the nih, you did sign off on these so-called scientific experiments. i want to tell you, this is disgusting. and evil. what you signed off on in these experiments that happened to beagles, paid for by the a
these the deals on before there shot with jury selection is underway in the first trial against the son of a sitting president. we are live outside the courthouse in delaware where hunter biden is facing we ve felonies for allegedly buying a gun while using illegal drugs. how his father, the president, is reacting and fighting words on capitol hill is dr. anthony found she testifies to lawmakers about the origins of covid-19 and the us response to the pandemic and brace yourself the thermostat please, in your house can be pretty busy this summer. i ll look at how much it will cost you to stay cool and how that number has risen over the past five years. we re following these developing stories and many more we re all coming in right here to see it a nuisance just days after former president trump was convicted of 34 felonies and his hush money case. another unprecedented and in criminal trial with major political implications is getting underway. hunter biden now facing ju
particularly for students and even more so for younger students. let me explain. we ve been talking about this idea for some time. it s now official from the cdc. but they re specifically saying for all students, elementary school students, they can maintain just three feet apart when mask use is universal regardless of what is happening with community transmission. that s for elementary school students. so that s going to be a big deal. but they also say, kate, that for middle school and high school students, they should still maintain at least six feet apart if the community tr transmission in their community is high. so making a difference between older and younger students. for all elementary schools, regardless where you live in the country, guidance is now going to be three feet. but if you happen to live in a community where community transmission is high still, at about 41% roughly of counties in the united states do have high transmission, if you live in one of those
