CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Resigns Amid Pandemic Transition.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has resigned, citing the waning of the COVID-19 pandemic as a good time to make a transition. Walensky, who has been the agency's director for a little over two years, did not give a specific reason for her resignation but expressed "mixed feelings" about the decision. The CDC, with a $12 billion budget and more than 12,000 employees, is an Atlanta-based federal agency charged with protecting Americans from disease outbreaks and other public health threats.
