The Centers For Disease Control's Lies Have Destroyed Its Legitimacy

On August 6, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control released a report that the agency claimed showed "Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection." This assertion came amidst a public battle with Sen. Rand Paul, as the CDC released this data from Kentucky, Paul's home state.

After indisputable scientific evidence continued to pile up in favor of natural immunity, the CDC finally capitulated on January 19, 2022, recognizing the superiority of natural immunity over vaccination alone: "Between May and November 2021, people who were unvaccinated and did not have a prior COVID-19 infection remained at the highest risk of infection and hospitalization, while those who were previously infected, both with or without prior vaccination, had the greatest protection."

Not an Isolated Incident for the CDC. This isn't the only time the CDC has been caught misleading the public.

Drawing ire from the medical community, the was an uncontrolled study of students in Arizona that Walensky referred to in discussing the CDC's mask guidance for schools.

In a Georgia study that actually had a sufficient control arm, the CDC minimized the fact that there was no statistically significant difference between masked and unmasked student groups.

These lies have de-legitimized and undermined public confidence in the institution of the CDC itself.

The CDC must return to the basics of evidence-based medicine to overcome its crisis of legitimacy.
