Media Turning on CDC Director
Mainstream Media Turn on CDC: Now Claim It Broke Public Trust as Biden Regime Seeks Scapegoat for Covid Failures


Quote:It’s over for the CDC. Chuck Todd led off NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning with bruising accusations that the CDC broke the “public trust” with its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“As we’ve said before, as Covid goes, so goes Joe Biden’s presidency,” Chuck Todd said. “Right now, Covid is a major health and political problem.”

“A combination of new variants like delta and omicron and a stubborn vaccine refusal among millions has led to an all-time high in cases,” Todd claimed, falsely implying that vaccines significantly slow the spread of Covid-19.

“The seven day average has blown past previous records,” he continued. “That doesn’t begin to account for people who don’t report results of at-home tests or asymptomatic.”

Again, this is wrong. Millions of asymptomatic cases are being added to the numbers in regional testing crazes, such as in the northeast.

“Hospitalizations are peaking as well,” Todd added without explaining that between 40%-70% of the hospitalization numbers are “incidental cases.”

“But the death rate so far has ticked up much more slowly in part to a less severe illness caused by omicron,” he went on. “The public is in a different place than it was a year ago, and the Biden administration is desperately trying to catch up.”

“The CDC has offered confusing and sometimes contradictory advice, the Supreme Court seems skeptical about the best tool in Biden’s toolbox, the vaccine mandates, and stay-at-home guidelines and school closures have given us a feeling of a recurring nightmare.”

“All of it adds up to a big political problem for the president, who pledged to restore confidence in the government’s ability to competently handle this crisis,” he concluded.

NBC’s messaging is subtle, but unmistakable: The mainstream media are ratcheting up to find a new scapegoat for the vaccines’ failure to stop the spread. The CDC is widely believed to be the sacrificial lamb for the Biden administration’s excuses for its Covid policy failures.

The legacy media, such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, and failed cable news networks like CNN, are all putting out the signal that CDC Walensky could be sacrificed to appease the mob.











The signal has gone out that the CDC Director may be on the hook for a failure of messaging, rather than lying about the “science.”

“The CDC Director takes orders from the White House and has no independent authority to make policy,” Covid policy critic Jordan Schachtel wrote. “She is not Fauci, who has enormous power. She was hired to be a spox for regime policies. She has zero influence. They are making Dr Rochelle the fall guy for their failed edicts.”

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky recently took heat for Covid isolation guidance that was clearly arbitrary and based on public policy, and not actual health policy. (This has been the case since the beginning, but the CDC got caught admitting it.)

“Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Friday defended the agency’s new guidance shortening the isolation period for people infected with the coronavirus to five days from 10, saying it was ‘grounded in science’,” the New York Times reported.

“Speaking during a sometimes contentious telephone briefing with reporters, Dr. Walensky also responded to criticism that the messaging from the agency has been muddled and opaque, saying that she has appeared at 80 White House briefings since she took office, and has sometimes taken questions multiple times a week,” the Times continued.

“I hear that you are interested in hearing from the C.D.C. independently,” Dr. Walensky said. She also added that she expected the briefing to be the first of many. But that’s assuming she doesn’t get the axe in a matter of months.

The mainstream media will lie, like Chuck Todd did in his dishonest segment, and even the Supreme Court will lie, like Justice Sotomayor and the rest of the radical bench. That’s nothing new and to be expected.

But the Biden regime is not going to be able to perpetually fearmonger about Covid-19 and impose disastrous authoritarian policies while claiming ‘success.’

That’s the fly in the ointment for the Covid schemers. And if it’s one thing the Democratic Party hates, it’s being held accountable for its ruinous policies. Look for more rats to jump off the CDC ship as midterm elections approach.

The CDC has completely mishandled this from the beginning. Shut it down and sell their facilities in Atlanta for redevelopment.

How does any sane person accept this narrative of it being the ‘unvaccinated’ among us that are responsible for the current rage of infection? EVERYONE I KNOW THAT HAS THIS VIRUS RIGHT NOW ARE FULLY VACCINATED. Half of our country are completely brain dead fools. We were told by Fraudci the target was to have 80% vaccinated. Why have the goal post moved?

The real problem here is a total vacuum of leadership. We elected, legit or not, a disaster of a group of misfits to lead the nation through trying times. We are reaping what we sowed.

The media believes we are sooooo incredibly stupid. The vaccine does NOT stop infection. The vaccine does NOT stop infection.

Covid is here to stay. We arent getting rid of Covid. Like the flu, Covid has a massive animal reservoir where it can spread and mutate. Because of that animal reservoir---Covid will constantly be returning to infect humans in new slightly mutated forms every year---just like the flu humans face changes every year. All these Harvard and Yale big shot media reporters are either stupid or are purposely misleading people. Its amazing to me that there are still people buying what the media is selling.

Some are getting tested to travel internationally, some are being tested due to work requirements.

I'd bet that most are waking up with a stuffy nose and rushing out to buy a home test kit which may or may not yield a legitimate result, if they test positive they're rushing to the ER despite not having symptoms any worse than a mild cold.

My unvaxxed 25 year old had to get tested last week due to all of the vaxxed and boosted he works with getting sick. He tested positive and hasn’t had any symptoms before or in the 8 days since. He’s staying with us and we have miraculously not gotten a bit of it. Of course his mom and I had the Wu Flu 18 months ago which is why we gave the middle finger to all of the preachy PSA’s.

And the other 95% so they can get 5 days off with pay.

1. People accept the narrative because they see it on TV and believe it. That goes for liberals and many conservatives alike. It's sad, but that's the reality of the nation we live in.
2. Ironically, the CDC moved the goalposts to say that if you didn't get your booster you're not "fully quacksinated" and thus, the people now contracting the Omicron scariant are "not fully vaccinated." They also changed the definition of a vaccine to fit the narrative, thus the scam can be perpetuated.
3. Let's not forget how many of these tests are showing false positives to further the narrative. I was reading an article yesterday lambasting one of the SC judges for not wearing a face diaper while 2 are now showing up only via Webex for hearings. The article mentioned that in one case one was tested and was negative, then retested and was positive and was tested again and was negative. That's a 33% failure rate among the testing. How is that even acceptable?

Dems are in a tough spot. They have to get the so-called “Voting Rights Act” passed to have any chance to continue with widespread ballot harvesting and increased mail in balloting. They are putting all their hope in a bill with little chance of becoming law. Dems need the bill to pass because the public is becoming increasingly annoyed with this administration’s Covid response and its failure to “shut the virus down” as they promised during the presidential campaign. They can’t inflate Covid fear because Americans are done.

Watching this unfold is the perfect example of being careful of what you campaign for cause you might get elected or at least “installed”

It's some of both.

At my university, every single employee and student is required to be tested within one week of returning to campus.

Also, unvaccinated people are required to test every single week. That's about 1/3 of our students.

And then there's my coworkers who brag/complain about getting their preschoolers tested for every sniffle.

I would look for Fauci to start stepping back into the shadows and to be completely out of the spotlight by the Midterms. Thankfully that won’t save him from what’s coming. When conservatives takeover Congress next January Fauci needs to be indicted for crimes against humanity.

I’m not talking about those worthless Congressional hearings. Now that the House has broken with tradition, issued subpoenas and jailed those who ignored them, it’s a whole new ball game.

We need trials as the world hasn’t seen since Nuremberg.

Now all we need is Republican leadership with the balls to do it.
