CDC retraction shows chaos of Trump’s Covid response

CNN  

CNN — New chaos at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over revised guidance on the spread of Covid-19 is a fresh sign of mixed messaging that long plagued the White House’s failed pandemic response. The move came less than a week after Trump publicly rebuked the agency’s director Dr. Robert Redfield, who voiced a timetable for all Americans to receive a vaccine by the second or third quarter next year that was far less optimistic than those advanced by the President as the election looms. It’s an amazing thing.” Trump compromises US health agencies American public health institutions have long been seen as global pioneers and the gold standard for other nations to emulate. “I’m trying to make masks in America great again and I’ve got President Trump’s masks,” Husted, said as he started touting masks stamped with campaign livery. “We can’t let the numbers become statistics, a background noise, just a blur that we see on the nightly news,” Biden said, remembering “moms, dads, sons, daughters, grandparents, uncles, aunts, friends, coworkers who are no longer with us and so many of them didn’t have to lose their lives to this virus, quite frankly, if only the President had acted sooner.”
