It's been five years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world's health agencies and institutions essentially gave up on scientific accuracy. The CDC, World Health Organization and many others abandoned critical thought and reasoning, turning to panic and wishful thinking instead.
There are any number of examples, from unsupported mask mandates to school closures and business capacity restrictions that were made up out of thin air. But they all paled in comparison to how those same agencies handled the release and distribution of COVID vaccines.
The CDC in particular was an abominable disgrace. First, while claiming the vaccines were extremely effective, they decided to base their roll-out recommendations on "equity" instead of targeting those at highest risk. Then, they made completely false claims about the vaccines' ability to prevent infection and transmission. Saying, endlessly and with the help of a willing media, that getting vaccinated was about protecting you and those around you.

Slowly, and far, far too late, the tide seems to be turning on COVID vaccines.
Instead of updating their messaging after being repeatedly proven conclusively wrong, the CDC doubled down. They ignored side effects, downplayed concerns from parents about pushing COVID vaccines on children, and signed off on approvals made by panicked officials like Dr. Peter Marks, over the objections of vaccine advisory committee members.
The list goes on and on. As just one more example, they supported vaccine mandates, an indefensible position for a product that does nothing to protect against onward transmission. But finally, FINALLY, some things are about to change.
