Trust in CDC is falling among surprising groups during the COVID-19 pandemic
Study Finds ^

...RAND researchers conducted two surveys of trust in federal agencies last year. The first featured 2,000 Americans in May 2020 and the second re-interviewed most of those respondents five months later. Each person ranked their trust in the CDC, USPS, and FEMA on a scale of zero to 10.
The results reveal Caucasians and Hispanic Americans both reported major declines in trust in the CDC amidst the pandemic. To their surprise, study authors did not find any significant level of change among Blacks or “other race” respondents.
“There is remarkable consistency and convergence in reported levels of trust in the CDC across these subgroups after the declines,” Pollard adds. “Lack of trust among Black Americans has been a well-publicized concern regarding the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and the convergence in lower levels of trust across race/ethnicity highlights a key challenge that the CDC now faces.”
Researchers note that Blacks have historically maintained a low opinion of the CDC and other health agencies. Much of this may be due to long held perception of disparity in the nation’s health care system.
With whites and Hispanics joining this discontent, trust in the CDC fell from 7.6 out of 10 in May to 7.0 by October. Meanwhile, public trust in the Postal Service rose from 6.9 to 7.7 and trust in FEMA went from 6.4 to 6.7.
The RAND report finds many people who now distrust the CDC have something else in common, disapproval of Joe Biden. Researchers reveal the biggest drops in CDC trust come from Americans who either did not vote or voted for another candidate besides Biden in 2020....

The CDC proved their reputation was unwarranted. I think even more telling is admissions that as many as half their staff have refused the experimental vaccines. Really, really bad that their own employees don’t trust them.

Their name is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They have a budget of I don’t know how many billions of dollars. They have I don’t know how many thousands of worker bees. And yet, they couldn’t be bothered to stockpile PPE for hospitals in case of a pandemic such as this.
You can’t predict when or where or how or what type, but you can say with absolute certainty that a Black Swan event will occur. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
I’d bet you dollars for donuts that there is a report on a shelf by one of those worker bees saying “we should buy and store some PPE for hospitals” and her supervisor said “thank you for your report” and then promptly put it into a filing cabinet.

We will never be free until we reject the Weaponized CDC.1. By witholding treatments and denying they exist (still), the CDC consigned people to dying of treatable Covid rather then allowing them FDA approved, well tolerated medications in use for decades. They CDC still pretends Covid is untreatable in order to keep their EUA on 'vaccines' intact or else they couldn't administer the vaccines. The EUA criteria requires that no other treatments be available, and that an emergency exists.
So by refusing to let doctors treat Covid-19 patients, the CDC created an emergency and claimed no treatments exist. And that is still the case. There are many successful treatments developed in spite of the CDC running interference and threatening doctors. The treatments cut the death rate by 85%, but the CDC pretends there are none.
You'd think the CDC would at least educate the public about vitamin D3 and it's impact on Covid, and maybe distribute free supplements to vulnerable populations, but you'd be wrong.
2. Welp, there's the fact that the CDC was shrieking about the Covid-19 pandemic and then managed to produce millions of contaminatted Covid tests because they "didn't follow their own protocols." In the article, the NYT said that this mistep would take a toll on the CDC's reputation, and then they and all MSM resumed flogging the public with the purported 'gold standard' record of the CDC in all things.
C.D.C. Labs Were Contaminated, Delaying Coronavirus Testing, Officials Say
Personally, I think it was part of the weaponized strategy to hand out false positve tests to fan over reporting of illness and create panic. Or, the CDC is really less capable than a high school biology lab student.
3. There's the fact that the CDC patented the SARS (2003) virus, the means of measuring and testing it etc. which meant they had complete control over who studied it, how it was tested (hint* Hint* preparing for Covid). Then they, for SOME REASON, applied to have their patent made confidential.
And now I believe the reason why we continue to use the almost worthless PCR test and are bombarded with information that can't be true is because the CDC has secretly patented the Covid Virus.
This should be illegal in both instances of these patents, because if the viruses are naturally occuring, no one can patent them. But, if the viruses are bioengineered, then a patent would violate weapons and warfare agreements between nations.
It's also immoral to clamp down control on studying the virus, measuring it, testing for it. If it had been the world threatening illness they always said it was, they put a bottleneck on the flow of information needed to save lives. From a propaganda standpoint - it gives them, and their international collaborators, near complete control of 'the narrative'.
4. There's the fact the CDC is weaponized arm of Bill Gates and George Soros et. al. The CDC Foundation, which accepts donations, has many donors, but Bill Gates is the largest. So Gates/Soros direct the CDC's actions which means the CDC enjoys tax payer dollars and donations and lets our enemies direct the use of both.
5. THere's the fact that they are politically biased. *ahem*
Out of 8,000 federal contributions from CDC employees since 2015, only 5 went to Republican causes, FEC records show
Oh there's more. The CDC can't add and subtract correctly. That's why they failed to notice that hospitals were not properly reporting positive test rates (7%, or 3% or 5%) and instead blinding accepted as valid hospitals reporting 100% positive Covid test rates. Yeah. Math is hard.
So the CDC wasn't even looking at the data, as normal procedures would dictate. A reporter caught this anomoly and that's part of why President Trump shifted data collection elsewhere.
Here's more about the CDC that is loathesome. They advise pregnant women to get the vaccine. They are onboard with experimenting on children. They were silent while governors shoved Covid-19 patients into nursing homes, and silent when the elderly died as a result.
The CDC operates and misuses the VAERS database and has intentionally fallen so far behind in publishing the reports of adverse events following Covid vaccinations that it's concealing the true toll of these experimental 'shots'
The CDC lied again, tragically, when it pretended it reviewed the deaths in VAERS for Covid-19 and said NOT ONE DEATH was caused by the Covid 'vaccines'. Uh huh. Yeah.
The CDC said has said nothing to nursing mothers about the following record, and I bet they delete it rather than say a word about it to the public.
Oh the CDC has said nothing about the Covid 'vaccine's' documented risks of ADE.

The CDC was weaponized a long time ago. The MSM, Fauci, Pelosi et. al who labor to destroy our country, and President Trump, demand that the CDC be deferred to and shown respect as it works to destroy us.

In winter of 2020-21 they had one job: devise a reliable test for the new coronavirus. They completely botched the job and set us back months. Then blamed it on Trump. CDC is a political brothel nothing more.
To: hinckley buzzard
Yes (though I think you meant 2019-2020). I remember distinctly they had devised a 3 reagent test. They had problems with one of the reagents. Eventually after weeks of flailing around Fauci said “forget it, we’ll just go with 2 reagents”.
That’s “science” for ya!
Trump did everything he could, given the circumstances and the forces both inept and aligned against him that he had to work with. The best thing he did, and one of the first things, was to force relaxing of the regulations on who could administer the tests. Under the old rules, only federal labs would have been able to test. Impossible task.

Small correction. That probably wasn’t the best thing (relaxing of testing regulations) but it was a good thing and he acted quickly. There were and are plenty of different ways to test for a virus and opening up the labs and the market for testing was the right thing to do.

It’s called “Center for Disease Control” for a reason. The government likes to control all kinds of things.

I guess better late than never but that could end up being lethal at some point. The CDC is a libtard infested political nut job group and has been for a long time.

Although the CDC Foundation was chartered by Congress, it is not a government agency nor is it a division of CDC. It is a private, nonprofit organization classified as a 501(c)(3) public charity.
