White House Puts In ‘Politicals’ At CDC To Try To Control Info

The two appointees have no public health background. They are apparently tasked with watching CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield as the agency releases COVID-19 info.

Jason Dearen, Mike Stobbe and Richard Lardner

NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump White House has installed two political operatives at the nation’s top public health agency to try to control the information it releases about the coronavirus pandemic as the administration seeks to paint a positive outlook, sometimes at odds with the scientific evidence.

The two appointees assigned to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Atlanta headquarters in June have no public health background. They have instead been tasked with keeping an eye on Dr. Robert Redfield, the agency director, as well as scientists, according to a half-dozen CDC and administration officials who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal government affairs.

The appointments were part of a push to get more “politicals” into the CDC to help control messaging after a handful of leaks were “upsetting the apple cart,” said an administration official.

When the two appointees showed up in Atlanta, their roles were a mystery to senior CDC staff, the people said. They had not even been assigned offices. Eventually one, Nina Witkofsky, became acting chief of staff, an influential role as Redfield’s right hand. The other, her deputy Chester “Trey” Moeller, also began sitting in on scientific meetings, the sources said.

expect more leaks and fewer official statements from the CDC. exactly what the public needs. jesus.

The latest political manure-manouvering here in BC is only counting MIS-C cases in kids who test positive. So instead of 17 cases, we have one. 

MIS-C shows up weeks after infection when negative tests are likely.

on a personal note, i saw my doc today. i let him know that i have been having daytime fatigue/malaise/low energy for the last few months. he said this could be due to lingering effects from the rona. i had a couple of negative tests over the last 3 months and have never had any other symptoms. i had an antibody test done today just to check to see if i ended up really having it. waiting to see if that shows anything. 

Good man for getting it checked out!  Hopefully the test will continue to run negative.  Could be you have fatigue from the stress of living in the shadow of the Orange National Nightmare.  Keep us posted!

thanks dude. got my results just now. negative for covid antibodies, so i have not gotten it up until this point. 

as for the fatigue, i have not really been exercising as much the last several months, so doc thinks that may be playing a role. he wants to check my thyroid and i suggested checking my testosterone, so get to do that on Monday.

it could be stress from work. it is the 4th quarter and i am one of only 15 reps in the country in a position to hit my quota so i have been pushing really hard for that. maybe the fatigue will go away at the end of the year. or maybe it will go away when we do not have to hear about the constant embarrassment coming from the west wing on a daily basis.

Hey man, glad to hear you tested negative for COVID!

I have chronic fatigue due to having had Epstein Barr virus in the 80's.  It never really goes away, so I'm always checking out ways to boost my immune system.  One thing I just read this morning says that drinking fresh celery juice helps.  The book is called Medical Medium Celery Juice, by Anthony William.  I am always skeptical about such claims but I figure, what the heck, I have a juicer and it just celery, so I'll give it a try.

Meanwhile, I hope your energy improves.  And, yes, if things go well in November, I'm guessing we'll all feel much better!

I just started taking Ashwagandha, having heard many good benefits from people I trust, and apparently it won't cause further damage to my liver (or kidneys).  Anything to keep my system strong!  Exercise is quite helpful too.

That looks like a very helpful herb.  I must look into that one further.  Thanks for mentioning it.  I hope it's helping you!

Took a trip for fall break this week. We went to Ft Worth, our 2 little boys like dressing like cowboys and watching the old black and white westerns.  everything we do there is outside, like watching the cattle drive. We flew in July because we heard about the policies of half empty planes and felt okay with that. Assumed this would be the same this time and felt okay with this trip, but no. Every seat full. Was weird and uncomfortable being elbow to elbow with a complete stranger for 2 hours. 

Air flights have been like that for quite a while im surprised you didn’t realize that, specially all the videos of idiots fighting in the isles.. hope you & family enjoyed your trip though! 

Ha, haven’t seen anyone fighting. Only seems like a few weeks ago the topic of travel for fall break came up and I remember a few others having the same experience as me in the summer, very empty flights. Had no idea they were packed now. I’m not surprised, they could survive with half empty planes for much longer I wouldn’t think.

I'm not even considering flying for a while, but I think some airlies are at least doing the middle-seat-empty thing (Delta, maybe, but don't quote me).

I’m with you. I will not step on an airplane until it’s obvious covid is at least six months in our rear view mirror.

Airlines think they are being smart ignoring social distancing by cramming every seat not realizing they are promoting many to not trust them. Not requiring disclosure of full flight capacity at time of purchase is absurd, but that’s what you get in a country that votes for a republican president,

i will definitely check that out. i wonder how a calorie negative food can be helpful but there has got to be a way. i am just happy i have not had the rona. i can deal with this fatigue if i stay active. let me know how the celery juice works out.

It was definitely a referendum on the Covid response. The opposition repeatedly said they'd do things differently and given our success that means Kiwis didn't trust their response plan. Since it is ongoing we wanted continuity and the same successful approach. Labour has its holes and is top-heavy but their leader is fantastic and we're proud to have her as our PM. Were she the head of National we'd be just as proud. Smash the response to Covid and win an election in a landslide. Who would have thunk it, eh Donald?

true, but taking away perceived freedoms for the greater good is a much harder sell in america than pretty much anywhere else on the planet.
