The Same CDC That Can’t Figure Out What a Man Is Now Wants to ‘Study Guns’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Crime continues to spike in communities across America. The weekend tallies from Chicago’s gang-related crimes continue, and New York City’s Times Square and even upscale attractions in Washington, D.C. aren’t immune to criminals exchanging gunfire. This is happening because “no-bail” policies are putting criminals back on the street, yet politicians are looking elsewhere for causes, even floating proposals to pay criminals to not shoot others.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky says she wants to study why shootings are increasing. Walensky told CNN, “Something has to be done about this. Now is the time — it’s pedal to the metal time.” The Biden administration thinks this is a novel approach, but the CDC has done this before.

Walensky claimed she’s not looking for gun control and wants to include gun owners as part of the conversation to tackle so-called “gun violence.” In Walensky’s words, the issue is a “serious public health threat.”

She incorrectly claimed that “We haven’t spent the time, energy, and frankly the resources to understand this problem because it’s been so divided.” On the contrary, the topic has been well researched and CDC’s own online Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System tracks fatal and nonfatal injuries from guns and other sources.

Congress passed the Dickey Amendment to tell the CDC it couldn’t advocate for gun control, as it did before the amendment. But the Dickey Amendment doesn’t stop gun-related studies at the CDC. (Read more from “The Same CDC That Can’t Figure Out What a Man Is Now Wants to ‘Study Guns’” HERE)

CDC Sounds Alarm: 2 Dead in US From Disease Never Seen Outside Tropics (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sounding the alarm on a rare illness that was previously only seen in tropical climates, particularly South Asia and northern Australia.

Now, two people are dead and two have recovered after being infected with melioidosis — a disease that had never before been detected on contiguous US soil. Melioidosis has now been seen in Georgia, Kansas, Texas and Minnesota, LiveScience reported. The only other known cases of melioidosis in the US were in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.

None of the four patients claimed to have traveled outside the country prior to becoming sick between March and July of this year.

The CDC “believes the most likely cause is an imported product (such as a food or drink, personal care or cleaning products or medicine) or an ingredient in one of those types of products,” according to the statement released Monday.

Report: White House Officials Frustrated by CDC’s Lack of Data Transparency

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House officials are reportedly frustrated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) lack of coronavirus data transparency.

“Top Biden officials are growing frustrated with the lack of internal visibility into data being collected by the CDC, particularly as they try to deal with Delta’s spread,” Axios reported Monday, revealing a source told the publication, “That’s where the tension is, like ‘Where the hell are the data?’”

“Just think we live in a country which is incapable of telling us the percent vaccinated or unvaccinated who require hospitalization for covid. No less any more data about them. Or track breakthrough infections. Thanks @CDCgov,” Executive Vice President of Scripps Research Eric Topol tweeted.

But virologist John Moore told Axios that “Countries with centralized health care systems have advantages here. The USA doesn’t work like that.”

“This is an old, old problem, nothing to do with today’s CDC,” he concluded. (Read more from “Report: White House Officials Frustrated by CDC’s Lack of Data Transparency” HERE)

WATCH: Former CDC Director Says He Was ‘Sidelined’ and ‘Threatened’ for Taking Lab Leak Theory Seriously

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that he was “sidelined” and “threatened” for taking the lab leak theory seriously when the pandemic began.

In January of 2020, the dominant theories about the origin of the novel coronavirus were that it either jumped species or leaked from a laboratory. Redfield said that there has been mounting evidence to support the theory that SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab.

“I think what you have seen over the last 18 months is no new evidence to suggest that this evolved from nature. Haven’t seen any evidence of it being associated with any of the animal species they’ve tested, over 80,000 animals,” he explained. “But we have seen growing evidence to support that this in fact was a consequence of a laboratory leak. So I continue to believe of the two hypotheses that the laboratory leak is the most likely origin of this virus.”

Redfield, who was one of the first scientists to say that the pandemic likely originated in a lab, said it is “in a way tragic” to say that the pandemic was caused by science and not nature.

CDC Announces New 60-Day Eviction Freeze for Most US Counties

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a new 60-day eviction moratorium in counties where COVID-19 transmission is either “substantial” or “high.”

The order from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky has an initial expiration date of Oct. 3, but can be extended or rescinded based on changes in the spread of the virus. According to agency data, 80.87 percent of US counties are currently experiencing “substantial” or “high” transmission, defined by the CDC as at least 50 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people over the past seven days.

“The emergence of the Delta variant has led to a rapid acceleration of community transmission in the United States, putting more Americans at increased risk, especially if they are unvaccinated,” Walensky said in a statement. “This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads.

“It is imperative that public health authorities act quickly to mitigate such an increase of evictions, which could increase the likelihood of new spikes in SARS-CoV-2 transmission,” she added. “Such mass evictions and the attendant public health consequences would be very difficult to reverse.” (Read more from “CDC Announces New 60-Day Eviction Freeze for Most US Counties” HERE)

Pentagon Requires Masks Indoors Despite Vaccination Status

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US military has fallen in line with the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations about mask-wearing.

The Pentagon announced Wednesday that service members, civilian workers, contractors and visitors must wear masks indoors at military installations and other facilities “owned, leased or otherwise controlled” by the Defense Department in areas where COVID-19 transmission is “substantial” or “high.”

The memo from Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks also requires those who are not fully vaccinated to practice social distancing.

The Pentagon directive follows Tuesday’s CDC recommendation of indoor mask mandates in jurisdictions with at least 50 confirmed cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 people over the previous seven days.

According to the CDC’s own data, approximately two-thirds of America’s counties are experiencing “substantial” or “high” levels of transmission. Nearly half of all US counties fall into the latter category, defined as at least 100 cases per 100,000 people over the past seven days.

Thousands of Vaccinated People Hospitalized or Dead Due to COVID ‘Breakthrough’ Cases

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The latest figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal more than 4,000 people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 have died or been hospitalized from “breakthrough” infections.

The exact number is 4,115 either hospitalized or dead despite being fully inoculated.

The CDC says the number of people who have died from COVID-19 after getting the shot is 750, with 76 percent of deaths and hospitalizations among folks over the age of 65.

“As of June 21, 2021, more than 150 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” the health agency explained.

“During the same time, CDC received reports from 47 U.S. states and territories of 4,115 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection who were hospitalized or died.” (Read more from “Thousands of Vaccinated People Hospitalized or Dead Due to COVID ‘Breakthrough’ Cases” HERE)

CDC Plans Emergency Meeting Over Increased Numbers of Heart Condition Following COVID Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that it will convene an “emergency meeting” of its advisers on June 18th to discuss rare but higher-than-expected reports of heart inflammation following doses of the mRNA-based Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, the CDC has identified 226 reports that might meet the agency’s “working case definition” of myocarditis and pericarditis following the shots, the agency disclosed Thursday. The vast majority have recovered, but 41 had ongoing symptoms, 15 are still hospitalized, and 3 are in the intensive care unit. . .

Shimabukuro said their findings were mostly “consistent” with reports of rare cases of heart inflammation that had been studied in Israel and reported from the U.S. Department of Defense earlier this year.

Top CDC Official Steps Down Weeks After Emails Surface Showing Collusion With Teachers Union

/1 Comment/in , /by

One of the top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials who was included in emails between the agency and the nation’s second-largest teachers union on schools reopening will step down from her position this summer, POLITICO reports.

Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s principal deputy director, was one of multiple government health officials included in emails between The American Federation of Teachers union, who repeatedly lobbied against in-person schooling, and the agency over the school reopening guidelines which were released earlier this year.

Schuchat says she is leaving the agency to “allow more time for creative passions” after spending the last seven years in her spot as the CDC’s second-in-command. And while the shifting sands and reported clashed with current Director Rochelle Walensky could be a contributing factor, it is still unclear why she chose to resign now.

Pro-Mask Social Media Has Meltdown After Updated CDC Guidelines

/1 Comment/in , /by

Social media users have come out en masse against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new guidance regarding masks, vowing to continue covering their faces indefinitely. . .

Many social media users responded to the announcement with concern, and in some cases, outright disdain. . .

One user even said that the move was counterintuitive to protecting children.

“So, are we just actively not protecting the kids anymore?” the user asked in response to the CDC’s announcement. “Vaccines were approved for 12+ just days ago. Getting all that done takes time and what about the rest of them? It may not hit kids as hard, but it still f***ing sucks and can have complications.” (Read more from “Pro-Mask Social Media Has Meltdown After Updated CDC Guidelines” HERE)
