CDC is worthless? — a Johns Hopkins professor of medicine thinks so

One organ of the Establishment critiques another — oh my

 

Can salvation be far behind?

 

From the Wall Street Journal's opinion page (some days ago) — my insertions in bracketed italics:

 

 

The FDA [see here], trying to evaluate the question of boosters, scrambled to obtain the raw data from Israel.

 

Why didn’t the CDC [see here] produce the research?

 

The agency has 21,000 employees and a $15 billion annual budget. It has data on more than 40 million Americans who have tested positive for Covid and 200 million who have been vaccinated.

 

Strong data might have prevented much of the polarization over Covid.

 

[And the CDC inferably lies about the data that it does have:]

 

On Aug. 25, Israel published the most powerful and scientifically rigorous study on the subject to date. In a sample of more than 700,000 people, natural immunity was 27 times more effective than vaccinated immunity in preventing symptomatic infections.

 

The CDC did put out a study on natural immunity last month, forcefully concluding that vaccinated immunity was 2.3 times better than natural immunity.

 

[D]espite having data on all 50 states, the CDC only reported data from Kentucky.

 

Was Kentucky the only state that produced the desired result? Why else exclude the same data from the other 49 states?

 

Some public health officials are afraid to acknowledge natural immunity because they fear some will choose infection over vaccination.

Ouch.

 

 

The moral? — I am not alone in thinking that American public health is expensively worse than worthless

 

Yet the irrepressible tide of Big Pharma's Congress-bribing and agency-capture rolls on.

 

And the reigning Oligarchy's propaganda machine seals our brains against Truth.
