This is actually hysterically funny. Will keep me chuckling during the hurricane. Thanks for reminding us.

Did you see where Obiden said that vaccines should be part of hurricane prep? These people just can’t stop vaccine pushing. It’ll take a couple of generations to get certain people to trust the Walenskys of the world again. If ever.

Many millennials trust the CDC implicitly.

Trust comes down to: personal philosophy and world view, biblical instruction and awareness, education of US children by political ideologues, and influence of family and friends.

Actually, credibility died long before that.

Too true, but the widespread damaging effects of their criminal handling of the covid fiasco brought it to virtually every household in the US.

Yup. That’s what it took to wake the masses.

So sad to see such grandiose ideation with a smidge of narcissism to actually continually use “I” over and over again along with calling yourself a leader - manager at best, poor political operative and a PR nightmare - the truth sets you sweet cheeks! You are a criminal!

"making sure that the public trusts the agency’s guidance"

They have waaays of making you trust them...

If only those ways were: "evidence-based and free of politics."

I think we could have all lived with that baseline.

We saw the antithesis of anything that was good and wholesome, evidence-based or apolitical. The Rodent from Day 1, along with his Flying Monkey troupe, actively sabotaging the conduct under Trump.

Then the utter disgrace under OBiden.

Has there ever been a more partisan time in your nation's history? The self-destructive policies seem to have no end. Capped off in the past days by the sudden coincidences under the calm Baltic.

Only 2 major powers will benefit from it, and Russia is not one of them. Nor China. Nor France...

CDC can't be reformed. It and the FDA have failed utterly. Giving either corrupted institution more power, bigger nudge units, or a bigger budget would be reinforcing negative trends. That much is obvious from their insincere and shallow quasi-contrition, where Rochelle wanted to message quickerer in the future. And Science betterer.

The world would be in a better state right now if neither of those two servants to Big (P)harma existed.

We could crowdsource better outcomes/guidance.

Side Question: "ensure that all existing guidance related to Covid-19 is evidence-based and free of politics... Restoring the public’s trust." Did that comprehensive review from the apolitical lifer in CDC see daylight?

Nothing more permanent than a government program.

It has to collapse, and after the apocalypse, our instructions to our heirs must include "seperation of medicine and state'. No mandates, prohibitions, licensing, bureaucrats. No coerced insurance schemes/scams. And no goddamn moneyprinters.

Hey Rochelle! What part of "never again" don't you understand? The CDC is over. OVER! You were entrusted with the public's health and blew it in exchange for blood money. You are delusional and insane.

Sincerely,

America

Good one Andrea! I like it!

"Restore public trust". That's a knee-slapper. Followed immediately by a claim that trust was lost because the White House didn't do everything the CDC deigned to command.

Rochelle, you work for the government.

Your job is to lie, to distort, to prevaricate, to terrorize the populace. And there is no enumerated power in the US Constitution authorizing a 'CDC".

"Feels supported"... Yes, right; we hear that all the time.

Actually taking responsibility and doing things is less important that nourishing certain feelings and perceptions.

Thank goodness we have people like you, Paul, Pierre, Robert, Ryan & countless others who have had enough integrity & courage to stand up to the cheap skate hustlers. I have a deep belief that light can get into a cracks of shadow & illuminate all that reside within there. And it is. Thank you Mary. Prayers & well wishes for all you need to keep the ‘buggers at bay’. X

"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." Rochelle neglected to throw THAT into the mix.

Toward the end of the Covid madness, Medicare offered to send a traveling nurse to my house to check on my general heath. "The visiting nurse will be wearing a mask, and so must you," the voice on the telephone informed me.

"The nurse will be wearing a mask?" I replied. "Great! I have a collection of masks in my basement. Right next to the shovel."

The line went dead. No one ever showed up. You can't trust the government.

I believe it was Ronald Reagan who is credited with the "The government that is big enough..." quote, also. H. L. Mencken & Will Rogers are two more of my favorites.

Amazing moment of candor from Mr. Casey. Insightful honesty from Mr. Goldwater, I'm not surprised that he said it first.

If we had ANY media remaining interested in holding truth to power, she would have been asked, with a straight face, whether she feels she has achieved that vision? More lies and BS would follow but it would have been entertaining to watch her face as she stuttered her way through the untruthful response?

Notwithstanding your well-informed readers, yes, commentary is needed. Preferably video of this Pharma-whore blatantly lying about COVID vaccine safety and efficacy. Walensky and Fauci need to be made immortal and radioactive with their own words. They are mass murderers and deserve to be treated accordingly.
