So was the CDC wrong all along?

Or was science wrong?

Just in time for the midterms!

What a bunch of maroons.

No longer a new disease the people’s bodies / immune systems are unfamiliar with.

Would have gotten to this point faster if Biden had implemented Operation Warp Speed II for treatments, but instead even stepped in and tried to stop states from doing this themselves.

How do you come up with those questions in response to this information?

[bigbob]

I did all that stuff about 18 months ago

One whole year too late.

Finally, and much belated.
Next time, let the states and each country decide for themselves, not CDD, WHO or CCP.

It’ll be fun to see who still runs around outside or alone in their car with their maks on.

If "science" demanded 6 feet of separation to limit transmission, then that guidance should apply until the virus is eradicated.

This was never about science, it was about a social and political risk assessment made by government entities and imposed upon us.

I accept that a risk assessment can change with time, but I will forever resent the notion that restrictions were imposed based on "science." Science and risk assessments are very different things, with different inputs and different implications.

"Just two weeks years to flatten the curve..."

END THE MANDATES!!!!

[mikey_hates_everything]

What would we ever do without the CDC to guide us?

[jocon307]

These dopes finally got a clue? It’s over, no one cares?

[lightman]

It was based on $cience

[Allegra]

People are still listening to the CDC?

I haven’t seen people social distancing in months and I go weeks now without seeing a mask.

[Getready]

Nothing much has changed. The 6 ft rule was arbitrary but MAY have limited exposure in certain short term situation.
They STILL have not delineated how serious the preexisting conditions need to be for someone to be high risk. A blanket statement about diabetes doesn’t cover the range of disorder. Insulin dependant? Type 2? Long term.out of control? Newly diagnosed? Age stratification?
The CDC and NIH have been exposed as a very low quality advisory quantity.
Just now, they want to focus on treatment?
Harvard has a 50 bn dollar endowment. Stanford and Yale close to that.Where ere they? Why didn’t CDC and NIH call on them to help? Spit.

[El Cid]

I presume they are doing this in a list minute attempt to curry favor, prior to the midterms - since most people hate these mandates.
I'm frankly surprised, I thought they'd zig in the other direction - impose more onerous shutdowns prior to the midterms so they can try to repeat their 2020 vote fraud scam... I'm not sure what is their game. I know its not based on altruism (nor "science", so-called). Maybe its just a feint before they unleash the next bug, and then run their shutdown scam again.
