Yet, we are still expected to bow down before the experts in lab coats at the CDC, as well kneel before the altar of science which is the new religion of the 21st century.

Isn't Michael Lewis' "The Fifth Risk" exactly about this sort of stuff-- federal institutions ruined by selfish, short-term thinking?

Newsflash: heads of government organizations are political appointees who direct their agencies to the answers they want to see. More at 11.

This is more akin to the DOJ dropping the Flynn case after it was already settled.

If you follow the history of the CDC, all of their biggest failures have come after politicians tried to meddle in what should be primarily scientific endeavors. See setting lead levels.

The folks at CDC are good and I guarantee they know this is BS and aren’t thrilled about it. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t someone internal who leaked this to the press.
