CDC facing criticism and mockery online for messaging missteps

The CDC has become the center of mockery on social media for its confusing new guidelines. Former acting director of the CDC Richard Besser talks about what this means for the agency.

I just love it when when a question asked they NEVER EVER ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION

It's whatever the billionaires/corporations want. 10 days off must have been effecting their profit margins.

I'm at the age, that I remember a time when the CDC was actually a respected institution.

Since big corporations are paying too much money to their workers who test positive for covid and those required to quarantine. CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation to please big corporations

[GotoHere]

What irks the American people is we pay these incompetent inept public servants a lot of money. They all need to be fired. That’s how it works in the real world, of employment.

Facing mockery? It's far worse than mockery, we just flat out don't rely on them as a credible source.

i remember when questioning the CDC science meant you were anti-science and pro-virus

[John-mujs]

The lack of testing should have no effect on the recommendation to test after quarantine. Jake Tapper is carrying water for the CDC like the good propagandist he is. Good boy Jake.

CDC needs to change quickly because their messages are so inconsistent they’re turning into a joke.

1. Covid outbreaks aboard fully vaxed cruise ships.
2. Homeless communities thriving, instead of dying.

CDC 2020: "Wash all your fruits & vegetables with 99.99% IPA and don't go outside."

CDC 2022: "People can cough and sneeze in your mouth, if your boss says it's ok."

The CDC is no longer a credible source and I hate to say it

[danablack]

Scary how people didn’t question this back in 2020, welcome aboard everyone, think on your own, seek out research and actual studies. We have the same access to the “science” or lack there of that everyone else has, don’t just blindly trust doctors who are reading data where the clinical trials are funded by the manufacturer of the drug they are selling and then they specially own the rights to that data to adjust the numbers how ever they need to before presenting the information

[beleagueredmule]

The challenge is that when faced with disappointing, preventable shortages the CDC will adjust the “science”.

[davidzheng]

I’m not going to sit here and defend the CDC. I used to stand by their word for the most part. But these days, I’m not so sure.

Social engineering 101:
Step 1. Create a crisis
Step 2. Keep people in a constant state of anxiety about the created crisis
Step 3. Offer the people a solution to the anxiety in the direction you have engineered the herd to move towards

And they went to school ... God help us ... this is the people who are suppose to be the experts. 🤔🥺

[janenc]

I just want the government to leave us alone. Follow the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Nuremberg Code and we’ll all be happy as clams.

[martensonlee]

Well it's already been proven the test goes positive way more than it's supposed to.... So in other words it's proven the tests are inaccurate
