'Like a Hand Grasping': Trump Appointees Describe the Crushing of the CDC
ATLANTA - Kyle McGowan, a former chief of staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and his deputy, Amanda Campbell, were installed in 2018 as two of the youngest political appointees in the history of the world's premier public health agency, young Republicans returning to their native Georgia to dream jobs.
But what they witnessed during the coronavirus pandemic this year in the CDC's leadership suite on the 12-floor headquarters here shook them: Washington's dismissal of science, the White House's slow suffocation of the agency's voice, the meddling in its messages and the siphoning of its budget.
In interviews this fall, the pair decided to go public with their disillusionment: what went wrong, and what they believe needs to be done as the agency girds for what could be a yearslong project of rebuilding its credibility externally while easing ill feelings and self-doubt internally.
"Everyone wants to describe the day that the light switch flipped and the CDC was sidelined. It didn't happen that way," McGowan said. "It was more of like a hand grasping something, and it slowly closes, closes, closes, closes until you realize that, middle of the summer, it has a complete grasp on everything at the CDC."
Last week, the editor-in-chief of the CDC's flagship weekly disease outbreak reports - once considered untouchable - told House Democrats investigating political interference in the agency's work that she was ordered to destroy an email showing Trump appointees attempting to meddle with their publication.
The same day, the outlines of the CDC's future took more shape when President-elect Joe Biden announced a slate of health nominees, including Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the chief of infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital, as the agency's new director, a move generally greeted with enthusiasm by public health experts.
"We are ready to combat this virus with science and facts," she wrote on Twitter.
McGowan and Campbell - who joined the CDC in their early 30s, then left together in August - said that mantra was what was most needed after a brutal year that left the agency's authority crippled.

Q Research General #13173: Are We winning?! Edition
CDC's chief of staff, deputy chief of staff jointly depart
Both Kyle McGowan and Amanda Campbell have been with the health department since the start of the Trump administration.
A pair of senior Trump appointees departed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Friday, a change at an agency that's been heavily scrutinized for its response to the coronavirus. Kyle McGowan, the CDC's chief of staff, and Amanda Campbell, the deputy chief of staff, both announced their departures in emails to colleagues on Friday morning. In an interview, McGowan said that the pair were starting a new consulting venture and that he wasn't aware of other pending departures from CDC. "We picked this day on the calendar and left to start our own business," McGowan said. "No one has asked us to leave. No one has forced us to leave." McGowan and Campbell were two of the handful of Trump appointees currently at CDC, which employs more than 20,000 staff and contractors around the globe.
Internal tensions: The Atlanta-based CDC has been faulted within the Trump administration for its early response to the outbreak, particularly its botched rollout of coronavirus tests and its messaging differences with the White House. Those factors contributed to the agency's reduced public profile - a decision that's been decried by outside public health experts and former CDC directors, who have said that the CDC needs to be more central in public health messaging. McGowan defended CDC's response, adding that he had planned to leave the agency earlier this year but stayed on to respond to the coronavirus. "We're to a point where I feel comfortable leaving," he said.
Exits come as first Trump term wraps up: Both McGowan and Campbell have been with the health department since the start of the Trump administration as longtime allies of former HHS Secretary Tom Price, who was ousted in September 2017 over a charter-jet scandal.
