So the CDC is releasing the results of their own study which said a) most people think transmission where they live is much lower than it is, and b) this directly led to people taking risks they WOULDN’T otherwise take.

In other words, the CDC *knows* exactly what their misleading “community levels” map is doing, and yet they are *STILL* pushing it anyways.

So according to THEIR OWN REPORT, the CDC tricked people into taking risks they wouldn’t knowingly *choose* to take by showing them deliberately misleading maps that convinced them transmission was low when it wasn’t.

They bypassed your consent and manufactured it instead.

Perception of Local COVID-19 Transmission and Use of Preventive ..

This report describes perception of local COVID-19 transmission ..

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

This was the whole purpose of introducing the “community levels” map, and bouncing the original *transmission* map into harder & harder spots to find on the site + putting it under big warnings about how they were for hospital use only and shouldn’t be used by anyone else.

They knew you wouldn’t consent if you knew the real risks, so they designed a whole new map that would HIDE the real risks and convince most folks transmission was “green where I live” when it was still in the red.

And they did it WHILE doing countless interviews/press conferences repeating the same piece of coordinated propaganda:

“Everyone has the tools they need to make their own risk assessments now.”

All while studying the fact they KNEW that wasn’t true.

I don’t understand how people aren’t burning shit down honestly.

They knowingly convinced you to send your kids into unmasked classrooms by showing you a deliberately misleading map to convince you transmission was low because they needed you back at work & eating in restaurants.

And they’re just quietly releasing this report like that’s not a bombshell admission.

When more people learn about the serious multi-system damage that’s been done to a generation of kids we are STILL exposing to a carousel of repeat infections, all because the “still green” map worked exactly as designed and stole your ability to truly consent, what happens then?

I just don’t think most people truly understand yet.

They tricked you into sacrificing your children in order to keep the wealth of the 1% growing.

And they are quietly releasing a report that says “it worked REALLY well too!”

And they aren’t changing a single thing in response.

Because this was the plan, & the plan worked. Nothing to see here folks. Just keep up the “normal.” The commercial real estate investors need those office buildings to stay full & the restaurants to stay busy.

@StephTait The information is out there and easily available for people who choose to seek it out.
Unless there's a dramatic turn of events like the development of a blocking nasal vaccine, the inevitable end is a world where literally billions of people suffer early death or permanent disability due to #COVID.
As with climate change, that's just too much for many people to cope with, so they've chosen, some consciously and some un-, to just... not acknowledge it.
@StephTait Also, the pandemic is impacting PoC and disabled and poor people much more than conventionally healthy white people, so many of the latter have decided that more of the former becoming (more) disabled and dying is an acceptable price for them to live "normal" lives, apparently even if that means society will be completely upended later when there aren't enough low-wage workers and the medical system collapses for everyone.
