A group of 10 Republican senators is backing legislation that would require an audit of the decision-making and public health messaging by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Senate proposal, the Restore Public Health Institution Trust Act of 2021, would require the Government Accountability Office to assess the CDC's public health messaging and decision-making and prepare a report on its findings.
The report would include a review of the data that the CDC used to make its recommendations and whether the agency's "Inconsistent messaging" had an impact on the public's trust and willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
"These guidelines, like most of the Biden Administration's actions these days, make little sense and seem without scientific direction," Sen. Marco Rubio said in a statement, referring to the CDC's recent reversal of masking guidance for fully vaccinated people.
The CDC revised its mask guidance last week, telling fully vaccinated people to don masks in crowded indoor settings.
"The CDC's flip-flop on mask guidance sends a confusing message to Montanans and the American people, and has not been clearly justified with data. The CDC needs to improve its communications with the public and stop undermining vaccine confidence," Sen. Steve Daines said in a statement.
"Their actions have unnecessarily divided our country and fueled partisan conflict. The job of the CDC is to help control and prevent disease, not play politics. It's time for oversight and reform."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
