Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries of progress.
I truly think it would be useful for the public to understand “what, exactly, were this project’s stated goals?”
“So one can only conclude that the CDC purposefully redesigned their COVID graphic to downplay the severity and reduce attention paid to the —by far— number one cause of death by infectious disease.
Why? What purpose does this suppression serve?”
Covid-19 was presented as a one and done infection, that ‘only’ killed the vulnerable, that didn’t harm kids, that was spread by droplets not air.
“Covid-19 was presented as a one and done infection, that ‘only’ killed the vulnerable, that didn’t harm kids, that was spread by droplets not air. That vaccines would prevent. Now NONE of the above are true, we are floundering in denial with no plan. Covid is not over.”
