Mega🧵 CDC IGNORES URGENT EPI AID REQUESTS

1/9 🚨 Maine is facing the largest HIV outbreak in its history.
It asked CDC for help.
😡 CDC is ignoring the request.

This is not getting enough attention in the news — and it should be.

After initially approving Penobscot County's request for CDC aid, the agency put it on hold. Meanwhile, the virus spreads.

Except his EPA is actively trying to give more people cancer while the CDC is actively trying to resuscitate polio & smallpox.

The Shooting at CDC
November 8, 2025 at 6:04 PM
The US withdrawal from WHO could impact the flu shot.

Flu samples sent to CDC from around the world are down 60% this year, as of July.

"When those viruses are not coming in, we don't know what to put in the vaccine, and you're going to have less effective vaccines."
Why next year's flu shot might not be as good as it should be
America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine.

I'm struck by the vision and leadership that Dr. Susan Monarez could have provided for the CDC. Her remarkable resilience, in spite of what she has been through, is inspiring.

The "Alt CDC" account, with 154 THOUSAND followers on this site, was unaware that Democrats in general, and Leader Jeffries in particular, hold regular press conferences and speak to the public pretty much constantly.

Consider what else "Alt CDC" might mislead you about before you follow them.
Thank you for admitting you are willfully ignorant.

Leader Jeffries holds regular press conferences. Maybe get the notes from someone in class.

💚 Huge thanks to our CDC + FDA colleagues who’ve spent the last 24 hours researching and sharing this info — during a shutdown, without pay.

Your dedication to protecting our communities is unmatched. You literally save babies. 💚

💚 To our CDC family 💚

We know you’re hurting. We’re grieving, scared, and still in disbelief.

But we believe — deeply — that CDC will rise again.

Until then, take care of your hearts and your heads.
We’ll need both to rebuild. 🕯️

Nice overview from @jjmcdona.bsky.social regarding that CDC meeting on COVID-19 vaccines:

CDC Vaccine Panel Presentation Distorts Research on Safety of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines - FactCheck.org
A presentation by scientists on a work group for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory panel highlighted various alleged “safety uncertainties” of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, including those about cancer and changes to the immune system. Scientists, however, told us that many of the cited studies are either misconstrued or of poor quality.
