CDC scientists were “diminished” and “muzzled” under Trump, new director says
- bazooka_penguin 6y agoThe CDC, even after years of Trump's reign, is one of the best or the best funded organization of its kind. Iirc when they bungled the development of the covid test they had 100x the budget of Germany's Robert Koch Institute and probably a similar budget ratio against South Korea CDC. Both of which got on top of developing and deploying tests, including fixes, in a shorter time frame. I dont have a lot of faith in them, I think we should be looking for actually competent leadership abroad
- steve76 6y agoOne day after Biden claims election victory, Pfizer announces the Covid vaccine. A week before his Presidency, Cuomo ends the lockdowns. The "scientific community" rushes to protect the communist military bioweapons lab where this showed up just a block away. When cities burned due to solidarity with drunks and junkies overdosing in the street, doctors went on national TV applauding theft and arson, that it's healthy because you're in the open air. 20 years straight, the world's going to end unless we give free money to rich people. Everyday, a new crisis to take more and do less. You are the most crooked people ever. The one solace is you are not just a crook to me, to your opposition, even to each other. You're a crook to yourself. Deadwood with a degree. You opened the door. The level of ambition you are at, you will be poisoning one another for a wooden nickel. Can't wait to see you glowing green.

Their extreme caution and role as a roadblock is their pride and joy - and to this day we can't have been able to deploy rapid tests that cost mere dollars and can be used by individuals because of the regulations and onerous approvals required.
