Governments- can’t begin taking necessary steps toward comprehensive Covid mitigation without admitting they were disastrously wrong about their pursuit of a herd immunity strategy" https://www.thegauntlet.news/p/cdc-hides-replies-referencing-the
CDC hides replies referencing the Senate HELP Committee's Long COVID Hearing

The public health body is purposely suppressing information about the severity and frequency of Long COVID, as well as information about high-quality masks.

For a very modest yearly salary, I can go from town to town being the ambassador who admits in no uncertain terms "We done fucked up big time, and that's why they sent me to tell you. They want to die before they admit it"

What the actual what!?! "The CDC, paid for by our tax dollars and ostensibly charged with relaying public health information, began hiding the replies."

Neither the CDC's website or personnel directly addressed this article.

Their twitter feed means nothing. Given its fascist leanings, I avoid all things twit related.

Discussing how CDC manages social media misses the mark.

Vaccinate. Mask. Avoid. Practice proper hygienic procedures.

We've known this since the advent of germ theory.

Bonus. By sticking to primary sources and root cause, we're better able to discern hate, and prepare for fascist violence.

I think the CDC was destroyed by the previous administration.

No that's not true, they are not constrained.

And being constrained by embarrassment would have closed the organization years ago.

Yes they can, at any moment they can say that the latest mutation is too contagious and deadly for "vax-only" and begin introducing new methods. And they should, today.

You are completely correct and fools stand in the way.

A really strong methodology to introduce would be simple air cleaning. It might alter sickness and life expectancy forever.

@taylorlorenz @kcarruthers I was going to make some comment about "what happened to the CDC," but I can't do that with a straight face. The CDC's had issues for a while now. The Trump years were really bad, but the problems started before him.

@taylorlorenz one day the evidence the world over will incriminate them all and put them on trial for crimes against humanity and banned forever from leadership roles or being an authority.

@taylorlorenz Yes, they've substituted their mistakes by using the term hybrid immunity.

@taylorlorenz I could not agree with you more. A vaccine introduced before the viral peak is in error

@taylorlorenz Who is ‘vax only’? Most I remember hearing was Vax, mask, handwash, limit contact circles…

@taylorlorenz Very discouraging that the CDC can no longer be trusted. Mistakes are a part of the human condition and must be accepted but lying, nope that leads to mistrust.
