The CDC has been completely untrustworthy & unreliable since at least when it prioritized politics & the economy over the people’s health by failing to properly inform the public that COVID is airborne & that even mild infections can lead to immune system harm & long term organ damage.
ICYMI: Yesterday, the CDC updated its vaccine safety page to say that vaccines might cause autism (they don’t) and that the science isn’t settled (it is).
For substantiation, the page links out to several studies by anti-vax allies of HHS Robert Kennedy Jr.

CDC Updates Vaccine Safety Page to Promote Vaccine Misinformation, Cites Kennedy’s Anti-Vax Allies
It is the latest move by Robert Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services to undermine vaccines.

And yet the global response was all about doing less and less because somewhere else was already doing less. It was a race to where we are now.
BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

This sums up perfectly the pandemic response. The messaging was being controlled, not Covid.
Eat out to Help Out was killing people, but they “kept it out of the news”.

They are all run by physicians: reactive, anti-science, anti-engineering. The wrong profession is in charge of most public health. It should be engineers. We keep water safe. Put us in charge of air and surfaces. Until then, expect science to be ignored.

TLDR "Health officials are taking orders from politicians..."
2023: "...the rot in public health is structural: It cannot be cured by simply rotating the figureheads who preside over it. Building effective national health infrastructure will require confronting pervasive distortions...that have left US public health agencies captive to partisan interests."

Want to Fix Public Health? Stop Thinking Like a Doctor.
Public health requires seeing the world from a collective perspective, but US agencies are still dominated by doctors trained to work on an individual level.

Was just thinking how we don't use 'hybrid immunity' to protect IT network infrastructure.
Probably because it makes sense to prevent as many infections as possible even if we cannot stop them all.

Wearing a respirator is easy. You don’t have to look medical there are many folks making beautiful fabric covers, beautiful jewellery to go on them. You can get ffp2/3 in black and mauve quite easily. Cambridge masks are good for out and about day to day, washable. I wear an ffp2/3 Aura on public 🧵

It's such bullshit that you're disadvantaged during the hiring process if you wear a mask to an interview. People shouldn't have to sacrifice their health and risk disability just so that employers can pretend that everything is normal. This is such a massive public health failure.

I say this as someone for whom this is my profession: elimination of a disease is not the same as eradication. When a country has eliminated measles, it means that cases still occur, but do not result in SUSTAINED ongoing outbreaks, because vaccination levels are high.
