Subject: Open Letter to CDC Honorable Director Walensky, City, County, State and Local Officials Dear Honorable Director Walensky & EOP
It is increasingly clear that the policies have lost the trust of an increasing proportion of internal and external communities. We are two years into this pandemic and experts from around the world have successfully bypassed the controlled information domains by publishing data, having discussions, and directly calling into question the “one-size-fits- all” COVID- 19 narrative.
Many in our community mistrust the policies and leadership as a result. Unfortunately, it may take years to repair the damage done up to this point. The situation is a clear and present danger to public health and much to your dismay, is a direct result of a self- inflicted & festering wound.
The vital reason why this is happening, are: 1) WHO’s & CDC’s lack of trustworthiness regarding natural immunity and, 2) CDC’s deviation from “ the science of Immunology”
Many community professionals and first responders agree that the CDC’s messaging has been disorganized, confusing, undisciplined and scientifically disingenuous. The latest CDC admission regarding natural immunity is the key point.

The majority of America does not intrinsically accept censorship of competing ideas or debate. It is a national tradition.
Labeling every scientist, doctor, nurse, paramedic, firefighter, police officer, and/ or military member that can read literature and come to the uncomfortable conclusion that the messaging and narrative has been flawed and contradicts data and logic - insults us all.
The talking points and narrative being pushed hourly, combined with the mixed messaging, lack of transparency or candor, and outright lies are not helping the situation. This is reflected in public polling numbers.
This is especially true in regards to parents' concerns and views related to healthy children whose risk of serious outcome from COVID- 19 is negligible based on data and credible statements from world leading experts.

Why are we vaccinating children against COVID- 19? - ScienceDirect https://www. sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/ S221475002100161X?via%3Dihub Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of Children and Adolescents Aged, 1772 MMWR / December31, 2021 / Vol. 70 / No. 51-52 US Department of Health and Human Services/Centersfor DiseaseControl and Prevention For any mandate or law to be comfortably followed, it must, 1) pass a rational risk- based approach, and 2) accommodate special circumstances ( medical, religious, internal/ external consent laws).
The “one-size-fits- all” doctrine along with mandates, doubling down rigidity, and refusal to acknowledge or listen to experts who disagree will continue to cause fracture and discord across the fabric that holds our society together.
Who in their right mind would agree with the following:
The bureaucracy knows best, not the doctor that has been treating his/ her patient for years?”
The millions of Americans with acquired immunity to COVID- 19 from a prior infection, have serological evidence of robust antigens- specific immunity which the CDC had to finally fall on the sord and admit. https://www. cdc.gov/mmwr/ volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm The fact that CDC is SILENTLY allowing millions of already well immune Americans to undergo mandated vaccination, under threat of loss of educational or employment opportunities from private and state entities, is a critical public health error.
The CDC’s rationale that there is a small marginal benefit to vaccinating such already immune persons, as the justification for imposing draconian mandates is a very serious threat to your current & future credibility.
It also demonstrates a lack of insight into what the majority of Americans and many others around the world understand. The utter inability to see or begin to validate data and epidemiology is causing the conspiracy theories to grow as a result. Again, this is self- inflicted and is festering, an obvious unintended consequence.
The obsession with “ one-size-fits- all” solution has paralyzed the recovery of the country, the economy, other public health needs, and the practice of science & medicine. It’s long overdue for public policy review - “ perfect is the enemy of good.” This policy continues to do great harm resulting in unmeasurable damage to the welfare of children, parents, education, business, commerce, and society. We have hospitals, clinics, businesses, and governments turning away and punishing the vaccine
hesitant.
The majority of America ( vaxed and unvaxed) see the cognitive error, recognize the corrupt influence of pharmaceutical giant’s TV and Radio commercials which include ( by law) the risks and potential side effects. No matter how many times you are forced to say “the vaccine is safe and effective” – another Omicron is right around the corner, and I’m not worried about the mud on your face. How many jabs is it going to take before you have lost all credibility? It brings back a memory of Lucy trying to convince Charlie Brown to run up and try to kick the ball again.

The public view is changing and does not approve of opportunistic fear mongering, price gouging, waiting in lines, shortage of supplies, or the nefarious intent to strip away individual rights and autonomy.
This dangerous negative sentiment is borne out of the
government’s failure to grasp that the consent of the governed is achieved through transparency not censorship of opposing views, open debate not coercion or a poorly written FAQ section on the CDC website repeating talking points. The public demands accountability not immunity.
The black and Hispanic community understand and remembers from a historic viewpoint ( Tuskegee & Guatemala experiments).
The vaccine hesitation is a direct result of the loss of trust.
Many are likely unaware of the atrocities committed in Guatemala between 1945 and 1956 by Doctors from the John Hopkins
University, Rockefeller Foundation, as well as four executives from Bristol- Myers predecessors, Bristol Laboratories and the Squibb Institute. Minority and other communities understand reprisal, coercion, and persecution. The black and Hispanic communities now share a common historical perspective.

I am hopeful still, that it is possible for CDC and health officials to listen with care and reverse course before the damage is irreversible and all trust is lost.
With this message, I hope to move the less egocentric towards a more rational approach. I hope that they may influence their bosses and convince them that admitting errors and moving forward with the below listed recommendations will do more good than harm.
Here are three key steps Hooman Noorchashm MD, PhD strongly suggested that the CDC must take urgently to satisfy public dissent and re- earn trust:
1. Guide American business and educational enterprises ( as well as federal agencies) to formally relieve Americans with prior COVID- 19 infection who are seropositive for COVID- 19 antibodies from mandated vaccination.
2. Guide American business and educational enterprises ( as well as federal agencies) to formally relieve Americans with “hybrid immunity” ( i.e., those with a natural infection AND two mandated COVID- 19 vaccine shots) from mandated booster” vaccination.
3. Guide American business and educational enterprises ( as well as federal agencies) to formally relieve Americans in whom a licensed physician has performed a serological
evaluation and demonstrate robust immunity ( i.e., from vaccine or prior infection) from any mandated vaccination.
Hooman Noorchashm MD, PhD is right, we need the CDC to
accept and inform the American people that IMMUNITY is the Achilles heel of this pandemic.
Vaccination” is NOT synonymous with natural IMMUNITY
The path back to normal should be focused on “screening tests” to clear all that have developed immunity ( vaccinated or not).
Immediately STOP the mad dash and dangerous rush for the volatile “ viral testing.” This policy was in error and actually creates opportunities for transmission from symptomatic to others who were responding as a result of fear, possible exposure, or a public policy ( required to work, go to school, attend a concert, etc.). It’s not that hard to visualize the reality on the ground.
Hooman Noorchashm MD, PhD, also opines that “It is NOT a complex matter to screen Americans for antibody immunity” — this metric is the medical gold standard for determination of resistance to diseases. He goes on to state, “it is also a far more durable and meaningful metric.”
LIMIT ALL viral screening to the SYMPTOMATIC and generally SEPARATE the high risk FROM the symptomatic when possible.
PROMOTE and require all health companies to conduct at least one IMMUNITY screening for each member during intake or or regular office visits.
PROMOTE an aggressive early outpatient care with a right to try approach. Attacking the viral replication period when COVID- 19 at first symptoms has shown to improve outcomes. It’s time to admit this and other failures.
Like Hooman Noorchashm MD, PhD, I too agree with the
courageous message from clinician- scientist and Harvard faculty member, Dr. Amy Josephine Reed: “One-size-fits- all approaches to medical practice erode trust, do harm and kill unsuspecting and trusting persons.”
Clear logic and rational dissent from doctors from around the world have spoken and have been heard. More are coming out against draconian mandates and “one- size-fits- all” group- think.
This is not political. They love science, but reject unethical dangerous violations of scientific methods, international laws & treaties. Many have put it all on the line to speak out.
Unfortunately, having worked 27 years for the government, I fear you will ignore any input or guidance not originating from within the governmental or political establishment circles.
You are being judged, only you can change course. I do not wish to tarnish the CDC’s legacy, or the legacy of every physician, politician, and bureaucrat that did not speak out for science, reason, and truth. Do not depart from your oath, logic or reason.
Stop blaming minorities for policy failures.
