I figured that out early in Covid. If you’re bored and wanted to dig thru my posts in March-April, I made some posts where I reported the number of hits searching the CDC web site for Climate Change, Diversity and Transgender. Thousands of hits, and all that content didn’t come cheap in time or money.
They’ve clearly completely lost focus on the public health mission.
You are right. The shift has been obvious for quite some time, but I assumed they were still doing their actual PH mission. COVID revealed I was wrong. Sadly, it’s not just the CDC and NIH. The vast majority of State and County Public Health Directors have also shifted their focus. Our country’s entire Public Health System has been hijacked to support the far left. The only health issues they care about are for “special” groups.
