There's a trick to fixing the CDC. By forcing all their work to move to public git repos, you will dramatically accelerate collaboration, decentralization, and trust; the 3 biggest things the CDC's has failed hard on during the pandemic.
Government agencies are structured in a manner which avoids attribution and accountability, the antithesis of revision control. If forced to implement Git, the agency would do so in a manner that would render it useless.
I'm not convinced that perfect transparency is a general fix. People will be more reserved when communications move onto a more transparent medium, and the real decisions will be discussed and made somewhere else.
