CDC Admits Its Covid Performance Was Lacking

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/18/2022 12:44:16 AM

Today CDC Director Rochelle Walensky released a video to the agency’s 11,000 employees that was sharply critical of CDC’s covid performance: Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled. “To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes, from testing to data to communications,” she said in a video distributed to the agency’s roughly 11,000 employees. Dr. Walensky said the C.D.C.’s future depended on whether it could absorb the lessons of the last few years,

The CDC should have no future. It serves no useful purpose, in fact it does immeasurable harm. Shut it down.

The problem with just disbanding all these corrupt agencies is that there are parts of them that do real work. Having said that a skilled scalpel is going to have to be taken to these agencies to remove the cancer that has been allowed and encouraged to grow there. It all must be incised. Every alphabet agency must be given the same treatment. We cannot do this without proper oversight. We have to have men and women knowledgeable about the workings of these agencies in order to save the good, if any, and get rid of the rot. After observing these agencies these past few years, it is clear that many will just have to be dismantled altogether. We cannot afford to have such incompetence whether with evil intent or not to continue to operate as they are now organized. Heads must roll starting at the top. People must be held accountable. Integrity must be the driving force going forward.

I said from the very beginning, we can't just stop everything in its tracks and then expect to pick up after two weeks to flatten the curve (remember that?). These alphabet agencies may have been started with good intention, but as time goes on, they change. The CDC is not about controlling disease any more. It's about acquiring power and money.

The CDC was a source of much misinformation during the Covid pandemic and attacked anybody that didn’t rubber stamp their pronouncements. Therapies that, while admittedly were not a cure, but improved the survival rate were denounced by the CDC. The CDC seemed more interested in power than in saving lives.

There are multiple agencies that were weaponized and CDC was one. This and other agencies need to be either dissolved or reduced drastically. Their power must be removed. What I am seeing is the beginning of law suits from the mandate. These lawsuits will makes it's way to CDC and NIH.

The CDC lost America when they locked us in our homes and then said the antifa riots were necessary and therefore not superspreader events. Is Walensky gonna admit that? She gonna admit ivermectin was maligned as a treatment for politics and that hundreds of thousand of our loved ones would be alive today if they'd hat it? She gonna admit the vax is a "clot shot?" While she's mandating it for our children??? No. All she wans to do is reestablish the CDC's power to dog leash us in the future. Against our will and against our benefit.

Yet, nobody has been fired or made to resign. A large part of Biden's election campaign was his claim that he would ''shut down the virus'' and that he had ''a plan''. [all lies, and nothing but unconstitutional mandates] When Biden stood before the public and made the bogus claim; ''if you get these vaccines you will not get the disease'', he either knowingly lied or is stupidly incompetent [maybe both]. All of the literature from Pfizer and Moderna and the early trial results from Israel indicated breakthrough infections were showing that the 1st generation vaccine does not confer sterilizing immunity or prevent spread. It was shocking that Biden would make such an obviously false claim, and still, none of his advisors has been fired. The average person on-the-street who was reading current events knew more about this subject than Biden and the decision-makers at the CDC.

#6 The three letter agencies have a systemic cancer that must be eradicated. There are many cases when the cancer has spread and cannot be solved with a scalpel. Sometimes a harsh chemo is tried, and sometimes the doctor has to admit that the patient will die. Fauci and Gates have so much influence with their history of funding "scientists", that rehabilitation will not work at the CDC.

And how does the CDC explain away the early deaths of so many healthy men and women in the last few years? They had one thing in common: they took the shots. And still no liability for these products? The world is watching as our country becomes unrecognizable because too many of those in charge have just one standard: "What's in it for me?"

In the summer of 2021, Dementia Jo was wearing two masks because Fauci was wearing two masks. Walensky recently admitted that mandatory masking came about because of a 'study' in the Los Angeles School District, conducted by a communications major employee. And for those of you who think the government can be successfully sued , take a look at the Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946. Finally, for those wondering why CDC employees haven't been fired, go back and look at my post about whistleblowers and the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.

Although the lies came in waves and were disproved by witnessing it playing out, like herd immunity and attenuation, I have people that still will believe them? What we need to know now is the VAERS data for the experimental monkeypox vaccine. The mRNA VAERS data the CDC already has would also help restore trust.

Following the Clinton playbook of definitions, I would say that what she is calling the failure of the CDC was getting their propaganda out more successfully. They didn't fool everybody, too many of us think for ourselves and do our own research about stuff like the Jab. I also suspect this is coming out because they are going to have a very hard time keeping the number of deaths of vaccinated people under wraps. This way they at least look sorta kinda contrite. Again, most of us can see through that nonsense. It is sickening to contemplate that they feel not enough people have been made sick, infertile or just plain dead.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa told Fox News on Friday that Mitch McConnell’s glum warning about the GOP’s Senate prospects in the midterms were an effort “to wake people up.” The Kentucky Republican Senator had said on Thursday, “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate.

Enthusiasm for voting in this year’s midterm election has grown by six points after the FBI raided the Mar-a-Lago, the home of former President Donald Trump, according to two recent YouGov polls. When 1500 adult U.S. citizens were asked from August 13 to 16 if they were more or less enthusiastic about voting in this year’s election compared to the previous congressional election year, 51 percent of Republicans said they were more enthusiastic. This is an increase of six points in enthusiasm since the YouGov poll from August 7 to 9. The August 7 to 9 poll showed only 45 percent were more enthusiastic about voting in this year’s election than in the previous congressional election year.

Just in case you needed yet another reason not to take the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seriously, this story should suffice. The agency released a study on Friday recommending that people wear face masks, among other measures, to avoid catching monkeypox. The problem? The precautions the CDC suggested do not line up with what the data shows about the spread of the illness. This week’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) contained research on the spread of the monkeypox virus through contaminated surfaces. The study centered on two patients who lived together and had contracted the virus.
