“I don’t think we’re doing a good job of measuring how much spread is actually underway in this country,” Gottlieb said on NPR’s Morning Edition Wednesday. “CDC has a retrospective mindset in terms of how they operate, they really don’t have a prospective mindset. They don’t do real-time forecasting, and they don’t collect all the data that’s necessary to make real-time decision making,” Gottlieb said. They're making an estimate that there probably is some infection among vaccinated individuals,” he said. It noted that in early May, CDC transitioned to focus on breakthrough cases in patients who were hospitalized or die.
