Communications aides for the Health Department have sought to review and makes changes to the CDC’s weekly scientific reports charting the coronavirus pandemic.
Yeah like we didn’t already suspect the hell out of this.
Public health officials have been aware since what, March?
These guys have been living in the bubble so long, they’ve forgotten that their warped view of reality is only shared by 1/5 Americans and almost no one else around the world.
Caputo should consider the consequences of aiding and abetting the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans. There will be no safe place for these people after Trump is out of office and every family that goes through this pain is one more chance that one of them will want their loved ones avenged.
Of course they did. It goes hand-in-hand with its $250 million PR program to “paint a rosy picture” of the pandemic.
Well they’ve got lies and videotape, but I dare not contemplate the rest.
But the end result of the tampering, according to my daughter, is that MMWR, which was “the gold standard“ for morbid/mortality statistics, is no longer trusted by the professional public health community and instead approached with a jaundiced eye.
She’s quite discouraged. ETTD. The CDC is kaputo.
Exactly. Same shit, different day.
Sounds straight out of the old Soviet Union, having the Party Political Officer have the final look and edit of any information coming from any agency.
Makes me despair for the country that there’s still a decent chance DT could get re-elected. In a more sane populace he’d be down 70-30 in the polls or worse. Plus the electoral college now amounts to about a 3-point handicap in favor of the GOP–and that’s before you even factor in all of the voter suppression in numerous red states.
That’s how it will be until the cult is somehow “dehypnotized” and broken up. Even if Joe is elected, the cult will still be here and making trouble.
If anyone hasn’t seen it, I recommend —
No safe place? Are you sure? They live in gilded, gated communities, where they are protected by the white supremacists in the police police and FBI (like the ones who leak to Giuliani) . Unless Dems. are taking names and keeping a list and plan on putting these folks on trial in D.C., they will get off Scott free and be just fine.
It was excellent, wasn’t it? I’ think I’d watch Jared Harris (and Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgard!) read the phone book.
But the script was marvelous too.
Also:
Actually, that isn’t true.
It’s not really a close race, despite all the hand-wringing and fear-mongering from the witless punditry and their desire to make this a horse race.
In what units does that thing measure surprise?
I saw a story about an interview on MSNBC of an ex-federal prosecutor who said Trump should be prosecuted for 2d degree murder for lying about COVID and letting us die.
And he should be.
