During COVID-19(84) I have become much more cynical. Years ago, I would have believed the data. Now I scoff at it.
The cdc, fda, and nih have all become politicized.
I determined to my satisfaction in early April of 2020 that the CDC was a fully woke political operation that had lost sight of its public health mission. I posted about it here.

Read Kennedy’s book about Fauci and you will never believe a word from any governmental health agency ever again.
Those institutions were politicized at least 30 years ago, but most of us didn’t realize it. They’re like the media.
