CDC pleads for caution, but governors may be done listening

WASHINGTON — Caught seemingly off guard by the rapidity with which Democratic elected officials in states on both coasts have rolled back pandemic restrictions in recent days, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky urged continued caution on Wednesday, even as she acknowledged that approach is falling out of favor.

“We’re not there yet,” Walensky said at a briefing of the White House pandemic response team during which she and others faced a series of questions about how long mask mandates — the most potent symbol of pandemic life — would remain in place. The CDC said last May that vaccinated people no longer had to mask indoors, then reversed itself as the Delta wave arrived that summer. It also said that students should wear masks in schools, a point of increasing contention of late.

Until very recently, Democrats were largely in accord with the CDC regarding the need for mask and vaccine mandates, whereas Republican governors have been ignoring federal scientific guidance on coronavirus precautions since mid-2020, when then-President Donald Trump called on them to do so.

But with the Omicron surge of COVID-19 receding and most Americans telling pollsters that they are impatient to return to pre-pandemic life, many of the Democratic governors who once followed CDC recommendations are now bucking the agency on masking in schools or in other establishments, like concert venues.

CDC pleads?

CDC LIES. Just like the #ComDems and the Davos Crowd.

The CDC has been a total FAILURE in this phony Covid "pandemic!"

Thousands of employees using millions of dollars to never get the truthful info out there regarding the "preventatives" and the "cures" that ARE AVAILABLE!

They encouraged the MSM and social medie networks to COVER UP THE TRUTH so certain people could get rich on the sale of vaccine stocks!! The TRUTH is coming out slowly and Americans should be so Ps"D off!!

CDC is a statistics based entity and nothing more. Everything they have put out is based on "best guess"....and the politicians who make their jobs possible.

In other words, they have no actual power.

Jesse Kelly’s radio show was dedicated to this yesterday. He called it a reckoning that needs to take place and these leaders who shut down their cities or states and enforced mandates for wearing masks need to pay a serious price as in criminal charges against them. He dedicated the entire show to have people call in and give their story about how these mandates affected them the last two years. Many tragic calls about family members in the hospital and no one could even see them to be with them as they gave their last breath. One story was an older man in the hospital and they even took his phone away. There was a DR. that called explaining he was from a rural area in a small hospital but he treated over a thousand Covid cases with monoclonal antibodies, but the FDA and the Biden admin. made it illegal to use that treatment anymore, even though it worked successfully in 99% of patients if administered within the first 10 days. I had never heard Jesse Kelly so angry and passionate about this before but glad I caught the episode. He made it a point that these democrats that are now all of a sudden ending mask mandates for children and people in general not based on science, but because their poll numbers are so abysmal. I also hope and pray these evil leaders face justice for the lives they killed based on their bs mandates, and crooked decisions.

This is how the CDC wants it. Their worst case scenario is to recommend reducing restrictions and then have a Covid surge. They’ll stick with their restrictions until all of the states abandon them. Then they’ll gutlessly back off on the restrictions.

I’m waiting for the MSM shills to claim the Dems were never for masking and that everyone knows masking is useless if not harmful.

Not to worry. After the 2022 elections the hypocritical Demonicrats will triple down on mask and vaccine mandates and the punishment for those who even think bad thoughts about masks and vaccinations.

“In other words, they have no actual power.”

And no actual knowledge.

Cannot believe Murphy in NJ is doing away with masks on kids in school. I’m almost waiting for that last-minute new variant, mote contagious and deadly than any.

“We’re not there yet,” ...

Stick a fork in it. YOU'RE done! This pseudoscience is a joke. They keep changing the "science." Now there is too much evidence available. Political hacks have enjoyed their control.

Seeing Trudeau in Canada is painful to watch as he spews his covid control talking points... "we are following the science" in a robotic fashion. Contrast that with what we have in the USA with Joke Biden. He doesn't even know what day it is and Fraudci is SCIENCE. We're not there yet only means they have not made enough money off from this fraud. There is so much more to be made. $$$ Big pharma $$$ still has goals to meet for their stakeholders.

CDC only has authority to quarantine SICK people. They live off of statistics. Their recommendations have no authority to back it.
