For some background reading on this fraud, I would suggest @Laurie_Garrett’s piece basically predicting all of this upon his appointment. Garrett is a Pulitzer winner who has covered this beat for decades. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/13/opinions/trumps-terrible-choice-for-cdc-redfield-garrett/index.html …

In particular he was chosen because he is the exact type of theocratic hack who will sacrifice scientific accuracy for ideologic extremism. See for instance *his history of rejection of condoms for HIV/AIDS control* or his disgraceful handling of the HIV crisis.pic.twitter.com/t3ufLQUEBf

He is, and has always been, a hack. He is not to be trusted, and to say that about the head of one of the premier scientific agencies in the world just goes to show how low 45 has brought us as a country.

Another good read is STAT news interview with this mediocrity, who is clearly in way over his head - the key line being “your agency is invisible, sir.”https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/04/an-interview-with-the-cdc-director-on-coronavirus-masks-and-an-agency-gone-quiet/ …

I saw someone in a school fb group yesterday say “but the cdc issued new guidance!” People don’t know.
-
It’s barely guidance. It’s a brochure. It’s advice so vague as to be useless, with needed interventions so onerous for poor schools as to be absurd unfunded mandates. It is a flip-flop from May’s plan to serve a political goal. It’s a goddamn tragedy.

This is the result of decades of Christian evangelicals working to infiltrate government, every agency, every institution, so that when the time comes they can disable them all and, they think, let churches pick up the pieces. Thank you for calling it what it is: "theocratic."

CDC Director Redfield is a disgrace to the CDC, America, Medical personal and the world. Redfield should resign. His message has been co-opted by Donald J. Trump. Anything Redfield or the CDC says/puts out, has no meaning and zero credibility. It’s an extension of Trump.

Yea, I agree with you, Susan. We shouldn't be rushing into things like a pandemic like this.
