Dr. Leana Wen says for bird flu, 'we should have learned our lesson from COVID' in testing

Dr. Leana Wen, the former Baltimore health commissioner, tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," that amid the concerns over the bird flu, the Biden administration should be making rapid tests available and ask the FDA to authorize the already-existing H5N1 vaccine. "I feel like we should have learned our lesson from COVID that just because we aren't testing, it doesn't mean that the virus isn't there," she said.

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted Nov. 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

Hey Wen, remember when you complained how masks hurt your son's speech development? You know better than this. You're doing it all for money. Shame on you.

[orionhauk]

Where is the bird flu lab that's performing gain of function so the bird flu can mutate into mammals?

[TheJustnate]

Are you seriously still pushing this "expert" corporate media continues to destroy what little credibility they have left. What a bad joke, wonder what advertisements sponsored this segment...

[hrock]

This is the real misinformation right here.

[orionhauk]

So if I want vaccines to be tested before their shoved onto the population, that makes me an anti-vaxxer?

I became seriously ill after the covid vaccine and I still suffer from vertigo yet not one doctor will admit or treat me because they say there's no known side effects of the vaccine.

[Htnn]

This woman should be rotting in prison.
