One Of CDC's Chief COVID Vaccine Messages Was Based On Misleading Information

CDC needs to be fixed, immediately

The CDC desperately needs to be reformed. And quickly.

Despite efforts by some politicians and their media partners to act as though the CDC is an impartial bastion of properly conducted science, their conduct and messaging during the COVID pandemic was anything but. And as we move further away from the pandemic period, we find more and more examples of how purposefully misleading CDC information has proven to be.

There are endless examples of the CDC sharing inaccurate studies and inadequate, poorly conducted "research" to promote their political positions. For example, relying on a phone survey to make unsupported claims about the efficacy of masks. Then ignoring that one of the conclusions in their referenced study did not find statistical significance. Referencing an non-significant outcome on a conclusion is scientific malpractice. They did it anyway.

They were also told that their recommendations on masking were unsupported by the evidence. Yet they chose to continue with those same recommendations anyway.

Turns out that one of their primary justifications for recommending COVID vaccines was based on similarly inaccurate information.
