On Monday, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stated that the state of Michigan should “close things down” because of the number of COVID-19 cases soaring there.
At the White House press briefing by the White House COVID-19 response team and public health officials on Monday, Heidi Przybyla of NBC News asked, “You know, vaccines, we understand, are not a panacea, given a crisis situation in Michigan right now. But some public health officials, including (former FDA Commissioner) Dr. Gottlieb over the weekend, are saying that the administration probably should have surged vaccines to Michigan two weeks ago when the data started coming in. Can you address that? And what is the argument against doing this, as well as what specifically are you doing on monoclonal antibodies to the state?”
