The CDC has been overrun by political operatives that do not abide or understand scientific rigor and study design.
The current decision makers are complicit in destroying trust and faith of the CDC with the public and health professionals alike.

If you have an election tomorrow, read up on the issues and/or candidates.
Make an informed decision.
Be part of the process.
Don’t stay home.

In her later years, my grandmother would always insist her doctor visits, imaging and labs were “perfect.” We didn’t believe her either.

US Leadership is made of of neither the best nor brightest. In their haste, they eliminated positions that make our country less safe, secure and healthy. Now scramble begins to save face.
This administration are not serious people but are inflicting serious harm.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:
