Baton Rouge, LA — While sitting in a hotel room working with CNN always on in the background, the blur of interviews and chatter never ends. But Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Julie Gerberding seems to always stand out as a highly credible, articulate and effective spokesman.
Her live interview on CNN today discussing the Asian flu pandemic was superb. Her prominence on TV during the flu vaccine shortage earlier in the winter put her on the map in a big way.
She could easily serve as HHS Secretary in the future; a blue chip find and talent possibly on the level of Condi Rice.
