The CDC is broken and apologies can’t fix it
thehill.com ^ | 8/23/2022 | Carl Schramm

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting credit for a mea culpa for saying what seems obvious: “For 75 years, the CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,”

This is a classic act of contrition theater, in which Walensky avoids taking any responsibility for the agency’s failure to understand the threat the nation faced or the CDC’s unfounded “guidance” regarding how to slow the spread of COVID, measures that the agency now acknowledges are flawed.

It is not a small issue that CDC personnel undermined respected scientists outside of government who quarreled with mask mandates, social distancing, shutting schools, closing businesses, and promoting universal vaccination with serums whose known risks to some were downplayed. All this while dismissing Americans who doubted that the CDC had a monopoly on “the science.”

In truth, the CDC did a great deal of damage to public faith in science and enormous damage to public trust in government writ large. The more consequential cost, of course, is what epidemiologists know as excess death — those whose lives were lost following government guidance on how to save their lives.

So sorry to make you all wear masks, mandate the vax, and lock you sown.

Heads need to roll.

A million dead Americans don’t give a crap about her incompetent mea culpa. It is what she did or didn’t do that counted, and possibly contributed to their demise.

The CDC is a woke political operation bought and paid for by Big Pharma. Any aspects of the original public health mission are entirely vestigial. Convince me otherwise.

The entirety of the federal and most state governments are failures.

It would not matter which party the prez was from.

The deep state was waiting for a “crisis.” And they saw just how far they could push without any resistance from the People who trusted them. The same happened in Canada where the Federal Government is quickly expanding its draconian authrity because the People were under a totalitarian thumb. Registered Guns belongingto law abiding People HAve been banned. The “ARRIVE CAN APP” used for border entry tracking is now being kept to Surveil Cnadians frequency of travel to USA prior to contolling international travel of Canadians.Farmers and Trucker have been hot hard by the draconian activity of the Canadian Federal Givernment. The Deep state is on the march every where , causing rioting and demonstrations in Germany and France as well as Canada ( Freedom Convoy: “Truck Frudeau!”). In the Netherlands the Deep State is taxing cow farts and the Farmers are livid.
The Pandemic was not a pandemic...it is a crisis of falsehood , posturing, exploitation and death needlessly caused by them.

Many people knew it was a scam from the get go. Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who first discovered the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquin , Zinc and Azithromycin in treating Covid-19. Many,many lives were saved by him, and he was “investigated” by the FBI on the basis oif interstate fraud. And them the press and deep state ridiculed him.They limited his saving medicine and ridiculed him.Yet he continued but the method was not allowed to expand ationally by the Deep State. Doctors lost their licenses over the issue in some cases.

It was the same with the Front Line Covid Critical Care Alliance , Dr. Pierre Kory was instrumental in dicovering and applying the Ivermectin Protocol which included Zinc, Vitamiun D and Vitamin C along with other readily available material. These protocols are followed today by millions. The Deep state made it illegal for pharmacies to allow prescribed Ivermectin and Americans by the thousands obtained it from India and other foreign sources. Millions of lives were saved.Yet even today the CDC still reviles that success with its horse paste meme. This treatment is particularly successful in the Amish community nation wide.

NOW THE FLCCC is soreading information on Spike Protein induced Disease caused by the jab.Really Important.

FLCCC : https://covid19criticalcare.com/

Now the deep state, its vile bureaucracy and lock step leftist ideology is resonsible for the deaths of millions.And all we get is a Fascist like shrug at the genocide they created?

Biden will let them get away with it, but first they BLAME TRUMP! ORANGE MAN BAD! ( not!).

Time for an accounting. Andf we have the man who will do it. PDJT.

On a related note, check this out...

Silenced healthcare workers speak out publicly for the first time Here's what silenced healthcare workers from all over the world want you to know and why they aren't able to speak out directly.

...The COVID shots are a disaster. Even for the elderly which is supposed to be the most compelling use case, death rates in elderly homes went up by a factor of 5 after the shots rolled out. Each time the shots are given, the deaths spike. Nobody is talking publicly about this. It’s not allowed.

Read the rest. It's horrifying.

And the CDC has to be aware of it.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton:
“The CDC had a relationship with the people of the United States that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong.”

CoupFlu vaxxes.

Though after doing done reading on the subject, a lot of other vaxxes are getting rejiggered.

Makes me wonder if, while a person may not have had a problem with vaxxes in the past, they might now thanks to what’s in them.

Let’s just say I have good reason to wonder.

BTW, if you get your pet/s vaxxed, you should be asking the same questions.

The CDC went down the rabbit hole when it began massive affirmative action hiring and focusing upon LGBT and Gun control issues which were out of their original directive. I remember when the first SARS outbreak occurred they had to bring in veterinary virologists to help them in Coronavirus research because their lack of expertise. Obama weaponized them to support liberal causes that had very little to do with disease monitoring and identification.

Like with the FBI, liquidate it. Start over, if you must. But, ensure a charter with felonies embedded in it.

Doesn't matter if the CDC did 'great damage'...never mattered.

What matters:

"DID THE CDC PROVIDE HIGH STATUS, HIGH PAYING JOBS TO 'ELITES' LIVING IN THE WEALTHIEST ZIP CODES IN THE COUNTRY - THOSE CLUSTERED AROUND WASHINGTON DC?"

If the answer is "YES" then the CDC completed it's real mission - the glorification of narcissistic liberal 'elite' monsters. (on our dime)

True enough. But genocide is a clingy bitch. They will never get rid of it no matter how they try.
