According to GAO, every single agency trains its employees on ethics, but they all lack policies and procedures for reporting political interference and maintaining scientific integrity. The agencies do not train employees on how to protect against political interference. There are no methods for reporting potential scientific integrity policy violations. Employees were not even familiar with scientific integrity training. Managers, non-managers and the heads of the agencies were not trained to protect against political interference coming from within or outside the agencies.

The report officially finds that “neither agency had a system in place for reporting allegations of political interference.” The agencies “failed to train staff how to spot and report this political interference.” As such, the auditors fear that research was “tampered with” across the agencies. In fact, CDC and FDA employees admitted they observed political interference within the agencies. During the year and half audit, GAO set up a confidential hotline, allowing low-level employees at the CDC, FDA and NIH to report political interference. A few employees spoke up anonymously, claiming they observed incidents of political interference.

This political interference resulted in the altercation or suppression of scientific findings that “may have resulted in the politically motivated alteration of pubic health guidance or delayed publication of COVID-19-related scientific findings.” These serious matters were not reported because potential whistleblowers were afraid that higher-ups would retaliate against them.
