A “glaring scientific breakdown” at the CDC’s main laboratory was behind the federal agency’s failure to quickly make a coronavirus test kit...
One of the three test components became contaminated because the way the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory put the kits together violated sound manufacturing practices...
cross contamination because the chemical mixtures were put together into testing kits in a lab space that was also dealing with synthetic coronavirus material.
The Food and Drug Administration also concluded the CDC violated its own laboratory standards,

Just asking, not accusing, but does this involve a "diversity is our strength" moment or a minority set aside contract?
Why the CDC botched its coronavirus testing
The first testing kits from the Centers for Disease Control had a simple fault, and red tape prevented other labs from creating their own.

From March 5, and that’s a guy at the MIT Technology Review calling out the FDA and CDC on their testing screw ups.
Thanks. Good find.
This is all so disgusting.
This is precisely why the size and scope of government must be increased.

Heads will be rolling at the CDC mark my words the AXE has been coming down everywhere!!
The centers for disease control CDC. is just another government agency like the National Institutes of Health NIH another like the environmental PROTECTION agency EPA. OR the department of energy DOE or the department of agriculture / or any of these other alphabet agencies who deal with the general public and not security mattterz.
Like any government agencies are basically run by the C people of the world. - The people who got C’s in school
They are not the best and they are not the brightest
They are very cushy secure jobs And they get paid no matter what
So when there is a crisis ; when the shit does hit the fan - these government bureaucrats really don’t have the wherewithal , the intelligence , or the chutzpah to act decisively
And this is why our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump , who has spent his entire life in the private sector , doing incredible things -like building giant skyscrapers ! and working with all kinds of contractors - was the perfect guy for this job at this time
He is hired and fired more people and contractors than you can even imagine
He is used to interviewing people in 2 to 3 minutes and figuring out if they’re full of crap or not and if they know what they’re talking about or not
He is also used to seeing if people are loyal to him or not
The guy is completely and totally amazing and is a learner -a absolute learner ! he wants to learn about what’s going on with anything and become enough of an expert to be able to talk at length on the subject
And of course he also brings out various experts like Birx and Fauci and other folks ; so you they just pontificate about the specifics of their specific trade - and go on and on and on ! and bore people !!! which is very important in this case.
It kind of reminds me of the scene from the movie Roxanne where the Fire Chief returns to find the fire station on fire.
They couldn’t have any more failures if they tried. How many failures does it take for their screw ups to become down right sabotage?
Any more US vaccine doctors disappearing or meeting with odd deaths?
Buy stock in tin foil hats.
Sloppy lab practices is what we’re blaming China with. Wonder how many oopsies the US has had? Haven’t trusted the CDC since their incompetence with Ebola and saying they didn’t know how it was transmitted.
That’s not how it works. It’s the Peter Principal. They’ll be given a promotion and an award just like they do always.
“...and bore people !!!”
Yup, Little Anthony is the master of the BS speak. In my long career I have always removed BS talkers form the organizations I have managed. They rarely contribute anything substantial. I once pitted the two biggest BS talkers at the place I worked against each other over a subject the didn’t matter in a large meeting of management. It was hysterical and cost both of them their positions.
It's an indictment of the US higher education which itself incubates THESE parasites.
It's what you get when you make absolute gods out of the ‘academics’ and ‘research misfits’ that universities have shamelessly foisted on society for so long.
I think the pedal has met the metal in real time and right in front of our eyes! ‘Higher education’ and the whole putrid petri dish that graduates these losers needs a complete overhaul.
Where's the academic rigor where's the oversight? Sheeeesh!
I think Fauci and Birx ought to forego being paid UNTIL THEY GET AMERICA HEALTHY ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO WORK.
They don’t have the correct incentive.
“Journalists” say we gotta trust those doctors no matter what they say, but PDJT, why he’s not even ask them a question before those said-journalists try to jump all over him with knives in their hands!
“Journalists” say we gotta trust those doctors no matter what they say, but PDJT, why he’s not even allowed to ask them a question before those said-journalists try to jump all over him with knives in their hands!
This is ridiculous!
Screw the FDA, the CDC and the NIH. Too much political BS.
This sounds a little like a setup. Would not be surprised.
