SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) finally released its long-overdue report of the state’s inspections following “significant deficiencies” found at California’s troubled COVID testing lab. The deficiencies were first exposed by a CBS13 whistleblower investigation.
The report, which was supposed to be released eight months ago, was released late Monday afternoon. While CBS13 is still reviewing the documents, a preliminary review finds that inspectors confirmed many of our whistleblowers’ allegations. Though, the state’s summary misconstrued other allegations.
Not surprisingly, the California Department of Public Health did not issue sanctions against its own lab, despite findings of months-long deficiencies that “pose immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety.”
If it weren’t for brave whistleblowers risking their careers in the name of public health, the public may never have learned of the shocking public health failures at California’s COVID testing lab.
It began with one whistleblower and quickly grew to more than a dozen whistleblowers with allegations and evidence of shocking public health dangers at the state’s COVID lab that, they said, the state tried to hide.
