Weird. It says "the vote was close", which was part of her reason for overruling their recommendation. Umm... in a national healthcare crisis, wouldn't you expect the denial of preventative health care measures to require at least a supermajority, if not a unanimous vote? Instead of, "Sorry 360 million Americans, Walt decided to vote against additional preventative measures during a health crisis, so the entire board has to go with his tie-breaking vote." CDC seriously needs to rethink their messaging and the methods by which they go about determining what messages and policies to put forth. I have no doubt this is an organization with everyone's best interests at heart, but honestly... they are fucking this up. Again.
