The CDC Repeatedly And Purposefully Put Out Misleading, Low Quality Studies To Push Masks

CDC misinformation caused immense harm, with new research confirming just how bad their work was

The CDC is ostensibly one of the world’s most important and influential public health institutions.

Their recommendations and guidance form the basis for those issued by countries that are without the resources or necessity to have their own competitive agencies.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of the CDC’s guidance would prove to be the most significant in their history. Never before had so much attention been given to a group of mostly unknown employees and political appointees who had previously toiled in obscurity.

But the pandemic offered them an opportunity to leap into action; putting their expertise, planning documents, and ridiculously transparent political ideology to work.

And it was an utter disaster.

The CDC was virtually wrong on every major pandemic question, with multiple directors serving as the public face of the agency’s incompetence.

Rochelle Walensky in particular was instrumental in further degrading the CDC’s rapidly, deservedly shrinking reputation.

But one group of researchers decided to put some scientific data behind the agency’s abdication of the scientific process.

Specifically with regards to masks; how the CDC wrote about them, and the research used to justify their recommendations and guidance on masking.

Predictably, it failed to improve the organization’s standing.
