Alt CDC (they/them) @altcdc.altgov.info · 13h

Pearls of wisdom from the guy who loudly promotes #vaccine disinfo for his own gain while trying to burn what’s left of science at #CDC.

Fuck off, Robert. Then fuck off some more. Then keep fucking off til you’ve fucked off around the world and come back here so we can tell you to fuck off again.

X post from Robert Malone: “My opinion, not speaking on behalf of USG, CDC leadership, or ACIP.
CDC has had decades of mission creep, and has lost focus in core mission. It is now being restructured, redirected and dismantled. The international component is being transferred to the State department. There will be turbulence during this period. The opportunity and gift is for the ACIP to help guide the rebuilding and restructuring towards greater rigor, objectivity, transparency and integrity. But this will take years. In my opinion.
And that job will be difficult, contentious and subject to intense criticism.”

Second set of X posts from Robert Malone: “Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 5h • ...
The other model is to allow the dysfunctional culture to continue for a period while creating a new organization, and then collapse the original and replace it with the new one.

I have been writing for years now that many agencies including CDC are compromised by having dual competing functions. In the case of the CDC, one example is holding responsibility for both vaccine advocacy and vaccine safety/ effectiveness monitoring/reporting. Similar Show more

A case could be made that post marketing surveillance of drugs, devices and biologics should be pulled out of FDA and CDC. ACIP is experiencing the consequences of split monitoring mandates between FDA and CDC.
This leads to the game of "not our monkey, talk to the other guy"”

Continuing Malone thread from X: “Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 5h Ø ...
CDC must have rigorous external peer review and scrutiny. For far too long it has been an insular, self-reinforcing culture prone to chronic and pervasive confirmation bias.

If you want to rebuild a corporate culture, you need a transformative leader, widespread cuts in FTE, followed by a surge of hiring of new FTE that are not caught up in the same cultural biases that you seek to replace.”

Final Malone set of posts from X, including a comment from a user named Tim Cole: “Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo...• 5h $ ...
For example the issue of the lot consistency and lot release data query for the COViD vaccines

If Malone's right, CDC isn't just "pivoting" —it's being gutted and redistributed. Moving its international scope to the State Department means health diplomacy becomes political diplomacy. That's like swapping lab coats for lapel pins.

What you are apparently unaware of is that the International "health" world has long been the playground of spies, IC, DoD, and State. For example, see USAID”

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

10th October, 1937.

Oswald Mosley arrives in Liverpool to address a group of assembled fascists.

Before he could utter a word, he was knocked unconscious by a brick thrown from the crowd and rushed to hospital.

This is how to deal with the evil of #Facism.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

In Minnesota, 118 students are also under quarantine in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Once the right wing media has destroyed someone there's no way back. Not blaming Corbyn, blaming what he was up against.

They'll try the same on Polanski or anyone else they consider a threat

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
