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.

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.
Many of them are still invested in thinking Dems are the good guys and that somehow the GOP is solely to blame for it all. Even though this shit is a bipartisan production brought to us by self-absorbed rich fucks who will always give us the bare minimum and then blame us for getting sick, becoming infirm, and dying. The "rugged individualism" myth affects so many people who can't even see that it IS a myth-- and not solely the RWing as Dems like to claim.
