While the Trump administration is firing people left and right at the CDC, and top CDC officials who were supposed to be axed are resigning before they can be shown the door, Democrats are screaming that President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., are putting public health at risk by undermining this government agency. That’s rich.
Chief Crazy Bitch Senator Elizabeth Warren didn’t hold back. She blasted Trump for “purging the CDC leadership” and said of Trump and RFK, “These fools can’t be trusted with your health.”
Senator Parry Murray chimed in, claiming RFK has “taken utterly reckless steps to dismantle our public health infrastructure,” and added, “we should all be deeply disturbed by the resignation of highly qualified CDC officials whose work quite literally saves lives.”
President Biden’s HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, said that “three leading scientists at the CDC who resigned” were “essential public health leaders who helped our country get out of the pandemic.”
And Senator Andy Kim argued that the CDC was the “gold standard” that “set the mark for the rest of the world,” but is now in “shambles from what Trump and Kennedy have done.”
But here are the parts they left out:
The CDC made mistake after mistake during the COVID-19 pandemic, and those “experts” were often the ones responsible. The so-called gold standard? It issued mountains of unscientific nonsense that harmed people. Let’s look at some examples.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELThe CDC denied that COVID-19 spread mainly through tiny airborne particles called aerosols, even though the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases had published a statement signed by 239 scientists pointing to “more than enough supporting evidence” that COVID-19 is “airborne” and proper “control measures” are “needed” to deal with this reality. At least 20 studies also showed aerosols play a dominant role in spreading all respiratory microbes, including SARS-CoV-2.
When the CDC finally admitted in 2021 that airborne transmission mattered, it scrambled to cover up the consequences of its delay. Countless people in nursing homes died because the agency had refused to act sooner.
That same year, the CDC told schools to enforce “physical distancing” of “at least 6 feet,” “require universal and correct use of masks,” and to consider closing “classrooms or schools” if there was “an active outbreak.” But Sweden had already proven this was absurd. The country kept its schools open with 1.95 million children, no masks, no class-size reductions, no vaccines. Result? Zero child Covid deaths, lower ICU admission rates for teachers compared to other professions, and infection rates in kids no different from Finland, which had closed schools.
In 2022, the CDC claimed “COVID-19 is a leading cause of death in children.” The data told a different story. The agency’s own numbers showed that only 1% of child deaths involved Covid, which translated to one out of every 145,936 children over the first 19 months of the pandemic. A study published in Nature Medicine revealed Covid killed two out of every million children in England that first year. In the U.S., kids were five times more likely to die from drowning and 36 times more likely to die from accidents than from COVID-19.
Then came universal masking. The CDC pushed masks for kids as young as two. Eight scientists, including a former Biden advisor, warned in 2021 that the agency’s mask guidance contained “serious errors.” A 2023 analysis of CDC mask studies in the American Journal of Medicine found “the level of evidence generated was low and the conclusions were most often unsupported by the data.” Not one gold standard study ever proved masks save lives, and dozens showed real harms.
It gets worse.
The CDC portrayed exercising while masked as risk-free, ignored the strain it put on lungs and hearts, and even made research harder to evaluate by hiding footnotes in “science briefs.” Readers had to dig and search just to find sources that should have been one click away.
The agency also peddled the narrative of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” even while more than half of COVID-19 deaths were among the fully vaccinated. It promoted Covid shots for all children—even those who already had the virus—based on clinical trials so underpowered they proved nothing about preventing severe outcomes. Toddlers in those trials still suffered seizures, fevers up to 105.4, convulsions, and dangerous drops in white blood cells.
In June 2022, the CDC claimed “our cells break down mRNA from these vaccines and get rid of it within a few days after vaccination.” Yet the journal Cell had already published evidence showing vaccine mRNA lingering in lymph nodes for at least 60 days.
By 2023, the agency was insisting “everyone age 6 months and older” should get “an updated Covid-19 vaccine” to prevent “death.” No trial ever proved mRNA vaccines saved more lives than they cost, while natural immunity continued to provide strong protection. Deaths plummeted only after most people caught the virus, not after mass vaccination.
The absurdity even extended to summer camps. In 2021, the CDC told operators to force kids as young as two to mask “at all times,” including while playing sports outdoors. Camps were told to mark sidewalks with tape, demand pre-arrival quarantines, isolate kids in “isolation rooms,” and quarantine others for 14 days if they had spent 15 minutes within 6 feet of someone infected.
None of this was about evolving science. It was about ignoring evidence that was already on the table. The result was harm on every level—physical, financial, educational, and emotional. People who defied the CDC’s dictates were punished, censored, fired, and denied access to everyday life.
And now, 9 former directors and acting directors of the CDC going back to 1977, are writing in the New York Times. They accuse RFK of “endangering every American’s health,” praise the CDC as the “world’s pre-eminent public health agency,” and claim vaccines “saved millions of lives.” Their evidence? A “computer model” from the Commonwealth Fund.
Didn’t we find out that the libnuts also used computer models to make performative statements about climate change, proving the Left doesn’t believe in science? These demonic people believe in twisting science to meet whatever political narrative they want to push. And in many cases, it costs the lives of innocent people.
Public Health England has already warned that model-based studies “provide only theoretical evidence” and should not be used to “inform or change policy measures.” Scholars in The Lancet admitted such models “rely upon a host of simplifying assumptions” and cannot be fully representative of the real world. And 22 scientists writing in Nature cautioned that models “produce highly uncertain numbers” and politicians must not use them as shields for bad policy.
The CDC was supposed to protect Americans. Instead, it turned into a political shield for incompetence. These were the “experts” who claimed to follow the science while ignoring mountains of evidence, wrecking lives, and then congratulating themselves for the chaos they caused. And now Democrats are furious because Trump and RFK are daring to take a wrecking ball to their precious agency.
