CDC abruptly removes guidance about airborne coronavirus transmission, says update 'was posted in error'

JFC, I don't care what dirt they have on you, at least pretend to have some self-respect.

I was pleased that they at least admitted that they'd previously ever said otherwise! But, yeah, as for the reversal, I don't even quite have words yet, gah. It's truly tragic.

that agency has now lost any credibility it had - and considering it was the premier health information resource for the county, highly regarded worldwide, that was a lot of credibility to lose

Yes. And it will take generations for them to win it back again. How many more people will die simply because they don't know whom to believe about health issues?

The weight of these tragedies is exhausting.

Their current boss has ordered that credibility shredded, strictly to plan.

It's incredible that we live in this dystopian hellscape of the world where scientific facts around how the virus is transmitted are politicized. It's political here too, because if the virus mainly is transmitted on surfaces, it's easier to cram more kids into a classroom. It's not true and people will die, but it's more cost-effective short-term.

It'll be nice when someone who respects science is running the country again. Can't happen too soon.

At this point, we already know about Kellis-Amberlee and what it does, so there's no need for anyone to hide it or deny it. I guess it's important for someone that they continue to deny reality, but I can't see what they can gain from it other than more corpses of their followers.
