Yes.
Did you bother to read any of the comments? Here's a sampling. Keep in mind these are all doctors and nurses;
My trust in CDC and FDA has decreased due to the obvious manipulation by politicians .
I trust the CDC but have no trust in the FDA. They are all about money and big pharma
What a mess with media misinformation and shady scare-tactic messaging. “Data” could always be manipulated and therefore weaponized. I just never thought I’d see the day it would silence the medical profession due to sheer fear. I thought that only happened in China and the Soviet Union.
The fact that the FDA/CDC/WHO have all shut down any discourse on the topic of COVID that deviates from the official approved narrative is in and of itself questionable, NOT scientific, and extremely misleading.
I do not question, doubt or disagree with the mission(s) of the agencies. I do (within the last two years) question the degree to which leaders of those institutions are able to truly implement scientifically sound and public helath-centric recommendations and practices free from pollitcal influence and bias.
I'm surprised the CDC hasn't stated that the Pandemic was caused by Climate Change. This whole thing was politically-driven. Even the studies, which they paid for, already had the outcome stated and the studies were structured to support that outcome. I trust nothing that comes out of the CDC, anymore.
As a former FDA consultant/panel member for many years, on many topics and panels, I had always been aware of the political pressures and bureaucratic recourse to self preservation and obstinacy. However, the C19 pandemic revealed a new depth to the inappropriateness of the reactions of both the FDA and CDC. One cannot help but ponder the mischief of direct political influence on Federal institutions.
Neither can be trusted, as it has been evident that they cave to political pressures and can't give Americans straight answers. When you have a health agency taking advice from a teacher's union president about when they should say what, then you know we're in trouble.
It is sad to see what once was a highly credible organization being coerced by money and politics. The world has looked up to our CDC and FDA. Now they are looking sideways and wonder, 'what happened?'
Their allegiance is political rather than professional.
These agencies lost their credibility once they bowed to political pressure to advance the fear agenda. They flip flop daily on masks and which vaccine is safe. sadly, I no longer feel I can trust them at all. This goes double for the WHO, whose behavior at the onset of this was nothing short of criminally negligent. It is really a sad day for medicine.
