Does this imply that the goal of the whole wild episode was to unseat Trump from power? This would not explain why many of these same protocols were followed all over the world. Was Trump’s loss, real or manufactured, a benefit for those who ran the pandemic response? Most certainly. And the unearthing of this little change from the CDC – which found itself in the middle of the most contentious political struggle of modern times – certainly underscores the point.
The page is now scrubbed from the CDC website as of January this year but it has long posted voting protocols as a means of controlling infectious disease spread. What's fascinating is the timing.
The page was updated to mention the necessity of mail-in voting on March 12, 2020.
That very day, someone went to the page on the CDC site and added that good hygiene involves pushing mail-in voting.
States now armed with this exhortation had every reason or excuse to liberalize their laws concerning mail-in voting.
What is the precise connection between voting lines and infectious disease spread? There was every incentive to demonstrate one, something definitive to prove that in-person voting creates a super-spreader to be avoided.
Despite extensive research, I cannot find a single study that even purports to show that in-person voting spreads disease.
In these days of fiction over science, the CDC just assumed there was some relationship and so invoked all its powers and influences over state health agencies and further to maximize mail-in voting and minimize in-person voting.
