🇺🇸US: As COVID-19 infection numbers top 1 million a day, the CDC promotes a campaign against public health.

"So far this year, more than 26,000 Americans have died from acute COVID-19 complications, and more than 800 per week are being killed by a preventable infection, a figure 20 percent higher than last year this time. At the current rate, it is expected that between 50,000 to 60,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 in 2024, a rate two to three times higher than fatalities from flu."

"This begs the question how are those most vulnerable, such as the elderly, immunocompromised, and those with chronic disabling medical conditions, which represent a significant portion of the population, to protect themselves from perpetual mass infection?"

CDC Director Dr Cohen acknowledged, "COVID is with us," but tried unconvincingly to reassure that "we have the tools to protect ourselves." She added, as a way of shifting the blame, “We just need to use them!”
