It’s no mix up.
It’s cooking the books.
Criminal investigations must begin.

““How could the CDC make that mistake? This is a mess.””

It’s not a mistake. Same with sending the infected back to nursing homes. All intentional. These aren’t dumb people making mistakes.

It’s good to recycle these stories because they are so easily forgotten or overtaken by new lies, damn lies, statistics and projections.

Conflating the results of antibody testing with the results of presence of the COVID-19 Wuhan virus is a lot like conflating the legal immigrants with the illegal migrants and squatters residing in this country.

If it’s in The Hill it means Trump is about to drop the hammer. Story can not be isolated to conservative alternative media any longer.

What makes you think it was a mistake Dr. Jha?

Sounds like the CDC knew they were going to be exposed once the Whitehouse started looking at the data they were controlling and are now trying to get in front of their fraud to control the narrative.

The DemonRATs have been imbedding their partisan activists into the Federal bureaucracy for decades It is the very core of “The Swamp” these “mistakes” like the CDC test kits being flawed are really sabotage.

This story was from May. The mistakes were corrected. This story is no longer relevant to today’s CDC numbers.
