Americans have lost faith in the CDC for the simple reason that it\u2019s been lying to us day in and day out for two and a half years.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve flouted basic rules and regulations, they\u2019ve redefined well-established medical terms to suit the chosen narrative, they\u2019ve made recommendations without scientific support while telling us to \u201ctrust the science.\u201d They\u2019ve completely ignored massive, unprecedented safety signals for both the COVID jabs and remdesivir, flatly refusing to answer questions about the mounting deaths and injuries from these drugs.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve refused to take into account other public health parameters such as suicides and alcoholism caused by lockdowns, and deaths due to lack of treatment for chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. They\u2019re also refusing to address what is clearly deteriorating immune function among the COVID-jabbed. The list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2022,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/cdc-waning-covid-vaccines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walensky admitted they \u201cnever suspected\u201d the effectiveness of the shots might wane<\/a>, despite clear and abundant evidence \u2014 shared on alternative media platforms \u2014 that the shots were not working.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, she admitted her source for the \u201c95% effective\u201d claim was a CNN report (which in turn pulled its information directly from a Pfizer press release). That\u2019s the level of data gathering for decision making we\u2019re dealing with here.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that\u2019s what happens when the vast majority of CDC employees, including Walensky herself, work from home for years on end. Considering Walensky STILL works from home to this day,<sup><span id=\"edn3\" data-hash=\"#ednref3\">3<\/span>,<span id=\"edn4\" data-hash=\"#ednref4\">4<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0one also wonders how effective these supposed reorganization efforts can actually be.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC is a wholly captured agency, beholden to Big Pharma, and as long as a single decision maker remains, they can reorganize and restructure to their hearts\u2019 content. It won\u2019t change a thing. As noted by The Defender,<sup><span id=\"edn5\" data-hash=\"#ednref5\">5<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0the CDC needs to be replaced with \u201ca public health model that operates independently from Big Pharma.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Health and Human Services to Get $1.7 Trillion<\/h2>\n<p>Failures and ineptitudes be damned, the Health and Human Services\u2019 (HHS) proposed budget<sup><span id=\"edn6\" data-hash=\"#ednref6\">6<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for 2023 is now an eye-popping $1.7 TRILLION in mandatory spending (up from 1.5 trillion in 2022<sup><span id=\"edn7\" data-hash=\"#ednref7\">7<\/span><\/sup>), and another $127.3 BILLION in discretionary spending (down from 131.8 billion in 2022<sup><span id=\"edn8\" data-hash=\"#ednref8\">8<\/span><\/sup>).<\/p>\n<p>Operating divisions<sup><span id=\"edn9\" data-hash=\"#ednref9\">9<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0under the HHS include not only the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, but also the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Medicare &#038; Medicaid and several others. In total, the HHS employs some 80,000 people.<sup><span id=\"edn10\" data-hash=\"#ednref10\">10<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Of those budgeted trillions, the CDC will in 2023 receive 1% of the HHS budget or $10.6 billion<sup><span id=\"edn11\" data-hash=\"#ednref11\">11<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u2014 $2.3 billion more than its 2022 appropriation \u2014 and this includes \u201cmandatory funding to establish a Vaccines for Adults program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet with all that supposed brain power and money, what exactly do they accomplish? I would argue \u201cprecious little,\u201d and the CDC\u2019s COVID response is a perfect example of how our taxpayer funds are being wasted on advice that range from bad to worse.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with concentrated power is that it gets corrupted. After 69 years, it seems the HHS is finally entering its death throes, as corruption within many of its operating divisions is now shockingly blatant.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for the World Health Organization. Incidentally, its biannual budget for 2022-2023 of $6.7 billion<sup><span id=\"edn12\" data-hash=\"#ednref12\">12<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0is dwarfed by the HHS budget. Still, the WHO is now seeking to gain control over health decisions globally. I explain why this is such a horrendous and unworkable idea in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/why-the-who-is-a-corrupt-unhealthy-organization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The WHO Is a Corrupt, Unhealthy Organization<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"takeaway tamiddle\">Ideally, all that HHS money should be divided among the states. We\u2019d be far better off with local community programs handling current HHS services \u2014 including pandemic response.<\/aside>\n<p>The CDC being wrong on everything about the pandemic, and taking two and a half years to admit even a fraction of it, is proof positive that centralizing health care decisions is a bad idea. Ideally, all that money should be divided among the states. We\u2019d be far better off with local community programs handling current HHS services \u2014 including pandemic response.<\/p>\n<h2>CDC\u2019s Botched Test Kits<\/h2>\n<p>The errors of the CDC are too numerous to recount in a single article, but let\u2019s take a look at one of the doozies, namely its botched COVID test. As reported by HealthDay reporters Robert Preidt and Robin Foster, back in December 2021:<sup><span id=\"edn13\" data-hash=\"#ednref13\">13<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cAlong with being contaminated, there was also a basic design flaw in COVID-19 testing kits created by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention early in the pandemic, a new agency review shows.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It was already known that the PCR kits were contaminated, but the CDC\u2019s findings published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE<sup><span id=\"edn14\" data-hash=\"#ednref14\">14<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0are the first to note a design error that caused false positives.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>When the CDC\u2019s test kits were developed and distributed in the early weeks of the pandemic, there were no other authorized tests available \u2026 The agency started shipping the test kits to public health laboratories in early February 2020, but many labs soon told the CDC that the tests were producing inconclusive results.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The CDC acknowledged later that month that the kits were flawed, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials said in April that poor manufacturing practices had caused contamination of the kits \u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, the tests had not just one but two problems. First, they were contaminated with synthetic fragments, sequences of genetic material from the virus that are used to ensure the test is working properly. These synthetic sequences are thought to have contaminated the kits during quality testing, as they were being manufactured in the same CDC lab where quality testing took place.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the CDC failed to catch a serious design flaw. The test was designed to detect the presence of three specific genetic regions or sequences of the virus. The test kit included a set of primers that bound to and made copies of those regions (when they were present in the patient, indicating exposure to the virus), as well as probes that fluoresced to signal that copying was taking place.<\/p>\n<p>To work properly, these primers and probes had to bind to the genetic sequences, but not to each other. Here, one of the probes had a tendency to bind to one of the primers, thereby triggering a fluorescent signal, suggesting a positive result. This is how the test ended up producing an unacceptable number of false positives.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, smaller private companies ended up providing most of the PCR tests \u2014 without encountering these contamination and design flaw problems. The fact that the PCR test cannot identify an active infection and were used to create a false \u201ccasedemic\u201d is another story, which we\u2019ve covered multiple times. Here too, the CDC displayed shocking dishonesty, alternatively hiding and manipulating data to make the pandemic out to be something it really wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>They also recommended mask wearing despite overwhelming scientific evidence showing masks don\u2019t prevent the spread of viruses. Time and again, CDC leadership made public health decisions on what appears to have been nothing more than assumption, personal opinion or fear \u2014 and that\u2019s if you\u2019re kind enough to exclude the possibility of fraud and collusion to benefit Big Pharma and the globalist Great Reset agenda.<\/p>\n<h2>Waging War on Pathogens Is a Failed Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>In an August 10, 2022, Brownstone Institute article, Aaron Vandiver, a wildlife conservationist, writer and former litigator, reviews why the global war on pathogens is a failed strategy that needs to end:<sup>14<\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cBill Gates has called the global response to COVID-19 a \u2018world war.\u2019 His militaristic language has been echoed by Anthony Fauci and other architects of COVID-19 policy for the last two and half years \u2026 I believe that an ecological perspective reveals many of the flaws inherent in an aggressive high-tech attack on a pathogen\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>To me, the \u2018war\u2019 on COVID-19 has been characterized by a destructive set of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that appear to be deeply engrained in our political and economic institutions, and which form a pattern that should be recognizable to conservationists and ecologists.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"indent\">\n<div class=\"indent\">\n<p><em><span class=\"bullet\">1.<\/span>Aggressive intervention in complex natural processes using new, poorly understood technologies designed to achieve narrowly defined short-term goals, with disregard for the potential long-term ramifications;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"bullet\">2.<\/span>Profiteering by private interests that own the technologies, enabled by government entities and \u2018experts\u2019 that have been financially captured by those interests;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"bullet\">3.<\/span>Followed by a cascade of unintended consequences.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the remainder of the article,<sup>15<\/sup>\u00a0Vandiver goes into several aggressive and destructive COVID interventions in greater detail \u2014 and their consequences. I recommend reading through it.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, when we go to war against pathogens, we go to war against ourselves, because without pathogens we cannot exist. The key to health is balanced co-existence with bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, which exist by the trillions in and on our bodies.<\/p>\n<h2>The Twisted Logic Behind Gain-of-Function Research<\/h2>\n<p>Vandiver, like Sachs, also points out that gain-of-function research funded by the NIH appears to be the most logical and most heavily supported theory as to the origin of the pandemic, and that denial of the lab leak theory is underpinned by reckless scientists unwilling to recognize the risks inherent in their work.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cMost fail to realize that Fauci and other proponents of \u2018gain of function\u2019 have long shown reckless disregard for the risks of tampering with natural viruses, expressing a paranoid attitude toward nature that is the antithesis of respect for ecology,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Vandiver writes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cFauci and others claim that \u2018Mother Nature Is the Ultimate Bioterrorist\u2019 to justify their Frankenstein-like efforts to hunt down the most dangerous viruses that exist in wild nature, take them to labs like the one in Wuhan, and tinker around with them to make them more dangerous and deadly.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Their twisted logic seems to be that if they intentionally create superviruses, they can somehow anticipate and prepare for natural pandemics. Most objective observers, however, say that \u2018gain of function\u2019 is a military-industrial boondoggle that has no practical benefit whatsoever and dramatically increases the risk of pandemics \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It remains inconclusive whether \u2018gain of function\u2019 research actually caused the COVID-19 pandemic, but its potential to have done so is a vivid example of how powerful actors like Fauci use technological tools to interfere with natural processes, with disregard if not outright contempt for the long-term ecological consequences, thereby creating opportunities to exercise more power.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In conclusion, Vandiver notes:<sup>16<\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIf we carefully analyze each aspect of \u2018world war\u2019 on COVID-19, we can see how each tactic and high-tech \u2018weapon\u2019 has harmed human health, destabilized civil society, and possibly disrupted the ecological balance between the human population and the virus, while enriching private interests and empowering financially captured government regulators.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The \u2018war\u2019 has been characterized the distinct pattern that I described at the beginning of this essay \u2026 This destructive pattern appears to be deeply ingrained in our institutions and in the outlook of our leaders. It largely defines our society\u2019s dysfunctional relationship with the natural world.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>An ecological perspective that keeps this pattern in mind, and takes into account all of the consequences of launching high-tech \u2018wars\u2019 on pathogens or any other part of our environment may help us avoid similar catastrophes in the future, or at least to recognize them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Death by Medicine<\/h2>\n<p>In \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/medical-errors-leading-cause-of-death\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Are Medical Errors Still the Third Leading Cause of Death?<\/a>\u201d I review the now decades-long history of modern medicine being a leading cause of death, at times spinning up to take first place, and rarely dipping below fourth. Several studies and investigations over the years have placed medicine and medical errors as the third leading cause of death in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic has revealed just how dangerous it is to listen to dog whistles like \u201ctrust the science.\u201d Which science? The one Big Pharma concocts to make money or the one that double checks and investigates claims independently?<\/p>\n<p>The CDC\u2019s COVID policies were all wrong \u2014 consistently 180 degrees from helpful \u2014 and have only recently been updated<sup>17<\/sup>\u00a0to match what all of us \u201cmisinformation spreaders\u201d have been saying for well over two years. That update was published August 11, just six days before Walensky announced the CDC\u2019s reorganization plans.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not buying the idea that the CDC suddenly realized it was going in the wrong direction. They knew it from the start, and they did it intentionally. I suspect they\u2019re only now starting to course correct because mainstream media are losing its grip on the public.<\/p>\n<p>Mainstream media were their cover for every obnoxious, unscientific recommendation, and without that brainwashing arm, the CDC has no way to turn but back. Like Dr. Anthony Fauci, they probably realize that the political tide is turning, people are fed up with the \u201c1984\u201d double-speak, and if Republicans take the House in November, the CDC could well be facing any number of investigations.<\/p>\n<h2>Senators Promise Investigations<\/h2>\n<p>August 23, 2022, two U.S. senators promised a \u201cfull-throated investigation\u201d of Fauci\u2019s and former NIH-chief Francis Collins\u2019 potential roles in the origin of the pandemic, and issued a formal request for the HHS and NIH to preserve documents and communications.<sup>18<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Leadership at the CDC and FDA also need to be investigated and questioned about the ins and outs of their decision making. Not that I think they\u2019ll ever admit to \u201cworking for the devil,\u201d meaning the Deep State cabal that is using COVID as a cover for a global takeover, but there needs to be a reckoning nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Those willing to sacrifice the lives, futures and Constitutional rights of Americans on behalf of these transhumanist psychopaths need to be ruthlessly weeded out. And then, we need to implement new public health systems, perhaps new agencies, with powers that are more limited in scope and state-run rather than federal.<\/p>\n<p>Never, ever, should an agency like the CDC be allowed to ban doctors from treating patients, for example, based on their own expertise and experience. What has happened during this pandemic, and is still happening, is a true crime against humanity. We must never forget how health officials, government officials, media and other influencers tried to foment hatred against the unvaccinated, and how they\u2019ve been willing to discriminate to the point of death.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC has now backtracked on discrimination, agreeing people should not be treated based on their vaccination status. But we remember the calls for \u201cre-education camps\u201d and no-fly lists. Backtracking is not going to erase the attempts to destroy the lives of those who refused to play their Russian roulette.<\/p>\n<p>I, for one, would love to hear the CDC explain why they have ignored the blaring safety signal of nearly 1.3 MILLION reports of COVID jab injuries in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).<sup>19<\/sup>\u00a0Wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published September 01, 2022, on Mercola.com<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Views expressed in this article are the opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
