Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The CDC doesn't deserve its reputation, it's obvious its task isn't to look after people's health, it's just to serve 'the economy'. It was like that during the AIDS crisis, COVID, and now.
Liberals are now Trumpian in their way.
At this point I really prefer the GOP's excuses for being horrible people which often boil down to "Fuck you. We wanna own the libs." If you're going to be awful - don't lecture. It's so much better than the "Trump would be worse" moralizing, rationalizing, and lecturing excuses of the liberals.
In their mind, there is no reason to test for anything if they aren’t going to do anything with the results. They won’t do anything because the CDC has already lost so much credibility any guidance they give will cause half of the population to do the opposite thing. If pundits and officials were honest with the public, they would just explain that the CDC has become a defunct entity, and that it has failed at its only purpose: public health. They can’t do anyt meaningful public health work without public trust or the will to wield any kind of authority (which they don’t have). They won’t say any of that, so instead any charitable reading by liberals seems inexplicable instead of malicious and irresponsible.
"You should be thanking us, just think of how much money we save by not doing this testing! I mean, it's not like we'd do anything about it anyway, so why bother?"
Also, Within 6 months someone will downplay the severity of H5N1 by saying that the flu is just like COVID

First of all, fuck you for putting that out there. 
Second, 
You should already be masking to prevent Covid. If you're not, you should really start. It's all downhill from here.
lol fuck it's already here 🤣
Mandy Cohen - Biden's handpicked stooge director at the CDC is really "following the science".
at this rate im just gonna wear a fucking full on gas mask everywhere. holy shit i hate it here.
In the west, life is cheap. The occidentals don't value life like proper and civilized humans do.
Bc it's election year sweaty, we don't want Biden to lose to fascism! #BlueNoMatterWho
