En fait ce n’est pas le CDC, c’est Trump.
The new statement came from a working group convened by officials at the Department of Health and Human Services after Mr. Trump made his critical comments. A federal official familiar with the group said it included minimal representation from the C.D.C., which had already written most of the other material released on Thursday.
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an agency within the Health and Human Services Department, took the lead in writing the statement, which focuses heavily on the positive impacts on children’s mental health from going to school.
Experts on the subject at the C.D.C. were cut off from direct communication with the working group after their input on the statement was interpreted as being too cautious, the official said. Instead, the group communicated directly with the office of Dr. Robert R. Redfield, the C.D.C. director, which did seek input from experts at the agency. But the C.D.C. was by no means in charge, the official said.
