Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.), heart surgeon and member of the GOP Doctor Caucus, said the public has lost trust in United States’ premier health agency for its handling of the pandemic and that people see the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now as a political tool.

“I think the confidence that people now have in the CDC, for example, is low, I can tell you the people that I represent in southwest Indiana just don’t trust the information coming out of the CDC,” Bucshon told the host of NTD Capitol Report, Steve Lance, during a recent interview. “And I think people recognize that it’s been politicized, and so they don’t trust it.”
