The CDC Once Again Reaffirms Its Commitment To Erasing The Last Remaining Shreds Of Their Credibility

New decisions by the CDC are yet another indication of how desperately determined the agency is to making bad choices

The CDC and its allies in the public health community are at it again.

Since the start of the pandemic, the CDC has worked tirelessly to cultivate mistrust among the American public, with awe-inspiring levels of misinformation on masks, COVID vaccine efficacy, school closures and lockdowns.

The tenure of former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky was, to put it charitably, a disaster.

Her efforts to coerce behavior and commitment to putting ideology above evidence lead to repeated efforts to mislead the public. The CDC under Walensky put out embarrassing “studies” to justify their desire to compel Americans to wear masks.

Studies that independent observers pointed out were wildly inaccurate and unsuited for their purpose.

Her replacement, Mandy Cohen, has quickly succeeded in taking up the mantle of misinformation, continuing to wear a mask in public while refusing to remove guidance on masking kids.

Somehow though, this week, the CDC has managed to sink to yet another new low. And this time it may have serious consequences for those who don’t know enough to look past the headlines, media spin and outrageous claims.
