The question wasn't whether the CDC was "always right", the question was whether - given that Twitter already actively moderated content for other reasons - Twitter executives thought that the CDC had better arguments and evidence that certain statements were false and harmful than the people making them, and that "public health" was at least as good a reason for blocking/labelling tweets as those other reasons. (Most of the better criticisms of Twitter policy focuses on the complete lack of authority of most of the algorithms and individuals actually implementing the moderation to judge whether certain claims were new evidence or nonsense). It's not like there was ever any shortage of criticism of the CDC as an organization on Twitter. My school didn't teach me to treat statements from practitioners of evidence-based medicine and vendors of colloidal silver as equally likely to be true or that people should pick recommendations based on which got the most social media upvotes either
