CDC Right to Withhold Covid Data to Prevent Misinformation, Scientists Say
- elmerfud 5y agoNo matter how many ways I try and read this, it seems like justification for propaganda, and nothing more. Considering the cdc's own history of providing misinformation and questionable human experimentation, the argument that some data may not be accurate or actionable as justification for failing to release it is dubious at best. The goal of propaganda is to push one narrative and when you selectively decide to disseminate information you are pushing one narrative. It would be more appropriate for them to release the data and note that it's preliminary or has not been verified or any other number of tags that they can give it to show that this data has not been fully vetted. Lack of transparency does not help their cause at all.
- TrispusAttucks 5y agoAgreed. CDC is now more a political institution than a scientific one.
