CDC was, sadly, weakened under Trump.  FDA too.

Only NIH was really allowed to have scientists run things.  (Collins was kept on, while a crazy evangelical abstinence-preacher was installed to run CDC.)

Fauci this week:

[quote]Dr. Anthony Fauci:

I think it's both. And there are things about the Delta variant that are concerning.

So, when you had a high degree of capability of transmission, you had a certain number of people who would get infected, a certain percentage of children would get infected. And you remember back then, a long time ago, seemingly, they would say, oh, children generally don't get infected as much and they don't transmit as much.

[b]We were dealing with a different virus then. Now you have a virus that does a big and better job of infecting anybody much more efficiently than the previous virus, including children. [/b]So, relatively speaking, you are seeing more children getting infected.

And just on numbers alone, when more children will get infected, a proportion of them, a small proportion, albeit, are going to wind up with serious disease, getting hospitalized. And that's one of the reason why, maybe the overwhelming reason, why you're seeing children in this particular context of Delta being in the hospital.
