WHY NO ONE TRUSTS THE CDC
Powerline ^ | December 29,2022 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 12/29/2022 6:56:13 PM PST by Hojczyk

The Centers for Disease Control is one of a number of formerly-respected federal agencies that now have fallen into disrepute. CDC has become a tool of the Left in general, and the Democratic Party in particular, and it seems that the people who run the Centers are more interested in political activism than in disease control.

Thus CDC’s latest initiative: a self-assessment tool for “LGBTQ Inclusivity in Schools.” (Via Breitbart.) The document is addressed to teachers, administrators and others involved in education. It conforms perfectly to far-Left dogmas on sex, as reflected in these definitions:

I don’t want to go off on a digression here, but in fact “gender” is just a slightly more genteel word for “sex.” There are two sexes and two genders–same thing–defined by X and Y chromosomes. That is biological and linguistic fact. But the Left has cleverly tried to separate gender from sex and create a new, ideologically-driven definition of gender. But in fact, the definition of gender that the CDC and other leftists propagate actually corresponds to the English words “masculine” and “feminine.” There are, indeed, men who have some feminine characteristics, and women who have some masculine characteristics. Maybe we all do, I don’t know. But this long-recognized fact is no excuse for trashing the science of biology

It seems fair to say that in the CDC’s view, if you aren’t grooming, you aren’t teaching. No wonder public faith in institutions like the CDC has plummeted to new lows. For the October issue of Thinking Minnesota, we polled Minnesotans’ confidence in various institutions. That confidence is dropping across the board, but this finding stood out:

After two years of the COVID epidemic, Minnesotans have lost confidence in the public health establishment. Only 36 percent expressed confidence in America’s public health establishment, while 62 percent said they have little or no confidence. That is a brutal result for a group of purported experts who have been in the spotlight since 2020.

It is easy to understand why few Americans trust the Centers for Disease Control. They have perverted their mission away from disease control, into the realm of crazed left-wing gender politics. It is hard to foresee circumstances that will allow the public’s faith in this agency to be restored.

Fairly certain that once discovered to be politically motivated and obscuring facts, the word Duplicity is at the heart of their name. Perhaps even Criminal Duplicity Central.

How about the media spare us from telling us why we don’t have faith in our institutions? We don’t need validation or approval of our decision making processes.

On the contrary, my employer trusts the CDC to the point of full compliance with anything they say. Big bucks and power rule when it comes to matters of public health.

Rochelle Walensky, head of the CDC, bragged in her book about lying to America about covid. What more does anyone need?

I made it clear to my medium sized company that they would have to fire me over a vax mandate. They didn’t implement one.

The Chief Virologist for our county told me that he was shocked when the CDC lied to his face.

He is a medical professional and a public servant. And, he mo longer trusts the CDC.

“..Pretty sure nobody trusts any of the alphabets at this point....”

^THIS^
They’ve ALL lost any credibility, trust, etc. NADA...None.
They can ALL go pound sand....including the traitorous GOP.
I wouldn’t crap down their throats if they were starving to death at this point.

We don't need the article, but there are a whole lot of lemmings who blindly trust the CDC and other institutions who do need such articles to hopefully open their eyes.

Here’s the truly scary part: After three years of crying “wolf” will anyone (other than the pandemic paranoids, Karins, and Chads) take them seriously if a truly lethal pathogen were to be unleashed?

I am of the opinion that they couldn’t give a #*%# if anyone anywhere trusts them. They will just keep on serving the interests of the government class and no one can do anything about it. They’ll just keep collecting the money.

I take issues with this headline.

It implies that if you do believe the CDC you are stupid, and alienates all the people who do trust the CDC and even those who are unsure.

“The German Language has three genders”

Russian has 6. Finnish has 16. Humans have 0 genders but 2 sexes.
