Trump Falsifies COVID Reports From The CDC
It never ends.
Breaking news this evening (and yesterday). The Trump Administration falsified reports from the CDC by changing the science to reflect Trump's agenda.
The CDC reports are routinely sent around the world and are (or were) the gold standard in cases like the pandemic. Needing to help his re-election chances, Trump promoted the reduction of tests in the report so that the numbers would look better for his re-election.
This was the exact opposite of what the scientists said. The scientists were forbidden to edit the report to make it truthful by a Trump appointee who had no experience in the subject.
This falsehood increases the reported number of infections and therefore deaths by reducing testing, a necessary tool to combat the virus.
At the same time, in an unrelated matter, a federal judge ORDERED the post office to resume normal delivery and to re-assemble any machines disassembled since the summer. The judge cited citizens having their medicines delayed resulting in several cases of hospitalization, including a young girl with epilepsy. This was a Trump tactic to fix the election by delaying the mail-in ballots.
More: a highly-placed aide to Pence who organized the COVID Task Force meetings has resigned, saying Trump cares nothing for human life. A life-long Republican, she has declared her intention to vote for Biden.
Trump today accused his CDC Director Redfield of "mistaken" comments re wearing a mask and when the vaccine would be ready. Redfield said the mask was a most effective tool and that the vaccine would not be ready until late in 2021. Both statements were the opposite of what Trump has promoted. Redfield is expected to resign.
For the Trump supporters here: what is required for you to admit Trump is a bungling ineffective madman?
