Ebola’s Newest Victim: How the CDC chief became a media pinata
There’s a growing media drumbeat on how to fix the Ebola crisis.
Tom Frieden should resign!
Yes, if the head of the Centers for Disease Control would just step down, maybe we can get this thing licked.
Just the way the Secret Service miraculously boosted security once Julia Pierson was shoved out. And the VA’s myriad problems magically disappeared after Eric Shinseki was forced out.
I’m not a big defender of Frieden. He seems rather robotic at his televised briefings, rattling off numbered talking points. He doesn’t project a lot of empathy. And he’s only grudgingly admitted that his agency has made several crucial mistakes in handling the response to the virus and those who have been infected.
At a House hearing yesterday, Frieden, an experienced physician and public health official, used the same bedside manner, quietly intoning “we will consider all options” when pressed on why the administration isn’t imposing more travel restrictions.

Abstract
Despite being the richest and most prepared nation in the world, the U.S. responded badly to the COVID-19 crisis. This paper examines the nature of political control and the essence of bureaucratic failure for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an independent agency. In three case studies, we analyze the CDC’s success in handling H1N1 and Ebola, and its failures on COVID-19. We find that the CDC suffered not only from political interference by the Trump Administration but also internal organizational problems that muted its ability to respond effectively. We conclude by offering policy prescriptions for addressing concerns of bureaucratic autonomy and success at the CDC.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruptive force worldwide; however, some countries have fared better than others in managing the disease. The U.S., the richest country in the world, horribly mismanaged the crisis, leading to over 700,000 deaths as of October 2021. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, bio-security researchers ranked the U.S. the most prepared for a pandemic (Maxmen & Tollefson, 2020). At almost every important moment in the first 6 months of 2020, however, the U.S.’ re
