Due to a Trump administration order earlier this month, thousands of hospitals will now bypass the CDC and instead funnel their COVID-19-related data to a Pittsburgh-based private technology firm that some experts say could be ill-equipped for the task.
This is INSANE! Why aren’t we out on the streets protesting this? Everywhere? All over the country! Demanding that the CDC NOT be destroyed for political purposes.
Do not destroy the CDC and the NIH for political reasons. We need them! WTF?
Besides the obvious suspicion of typical Trump corruption, the other possibility that arises is that Trump and his people don’t want the data to be reported on the assumption that if the bad news isn’t available at election time, then there’s really no pandemic - so, problem solved.
