COVID CDC & FDA

The CDC's main goal is to protect public health from things like Global Pandemics (COVID), and overreactions that cause many more to die because while in lockdown, they aren't getting exercise or are abstaining from needed or preventative medical care, their psychological wellbeing, and so on. COVID was an unprecedented fuck up for the CDC that includes:

• They trusted/repeated the WHO and China's numbers, which overstated deaths and understated cases -- as an agency they aren't there to rubber stamp what Communists tell them, but to validate them
• By believing those numbers -- they assumed the death rate was high and the contagion was low of SARS-COV-2, which meant they failed to respond in a competent way.
• They repeated the WHO in saying that we shouldn't be wearing masks, which let the contagion spread faster/further than it would have.
• When testing started, they added a 3rd component to the test, which was tainted and gave false positives. The FDA refused to let private labs produce without that 3rd tainted component -- and it delayed American testing scale up. When we ask why South Korea or Germany was able to scale quicker? Becauese they don't have the equivalent of the CDC or FDA.
• They allowed "Shelter-in-place" to cause economic ruination (depression and loss of life) without evidence that it was materially better than Social Distancing or more moderate and less harmful measures.
• They encourage (and the Government incentivizes) Hospitals to overstate COVID cases.

Not only was the CDC repeating 3.4% death rates in January, but as late as March Fauci was using numbers like 2% or 10x the flu. Either they were incompetent and ignoring all the asymptomatic and untested people and the plethora of COVID Studies that was showing it was 10x more widespread than their numbers, or they were intentionally scaring the public for political gain. Either way, the numbers were coming in as being about as deadly as the flu, at the same time they were saying it was 10x as deadly. Lying to me, pisses me off.

The TLA's (Three Letter Agencies) like the WHO, CDC, FDA, CIA and CCP, all blew chunks and/or lied, undermining faith in them amongst the rational. The mainstream media was an embarrassment, getting most stories wrong by taking the far left view of everything, and later being discredited and having to reverse themselves. By being the tools of the far left (DNC) and MSM, Big Tech (Social Media) was worse, censoring stories that didn't fit their agenda, and later it turning out all they did is magnify disinformation that they claimed to be protecting us from. And of course progressive's (politicians and individuals), in demanding conformity to the far left collective, managed to do more harm than COVID ever could. So what did we learn? CDC The CDC's main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability in the US and internationally. You know, like pandemics (COVID), from depression and death caused by over-reactions to it (shutdowns), and things like that?
