Tuesday on Political Rewind, a deeper look at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. In recent months, the agency has been at the center of the headlines.

For a clearer perspective of the CDC’s role in our current public health emergency, we take a look back at the role of public health officials in past crisis.

"Infectious diseases is just one thing the CDC protects us from." public health expert Dr. Mark Rosenberg said. "Hepatitis, HIV and Zika and Swine Flu; these are just a few of the things."

Tamar Hallerman — Senior Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Dr. Mark Rosenberg — Public Health Leader, Former-CEO of Task Force for Global Health
