MODERATORS
Remember during the pandemic when the CDC made it very clear they didn't give a fuck about us. 5 day back to work with COVID policy, with zero science to back it etc.
The loss of public trust in the CDC in particular and public health in general are a huge problem. We'll need a generation or two to fix it.
It doesn't help that the CDC capitulates to economic interests. Everyone suddenly saw that when the pandemic hit (except for the MAGA types, who somehow were convinced the CDC was being overly strict when it was quite the opposite). Hard to get your credibility back when it's so blatant.
Almost like a government agency is as reliable as the head of the government. And you had a shitstain then, and now you have the results of decades of laws to reduce oversight. If the CDC doesn't have the power over disease response, they don't have responsibility. The FDA has no oversight over cattle on farms, so no responsibility. It's your problem, not theirs.
...no?
