A lot of people tried to warn that if we didn’t comprehensively reform the CDC and hold them accountable for covid failures (testing, data, guidance), the next pandemic was going to be a clusterfuck.
Instead of doing any of that, they moved the deck chairs into slightly different configurations and here we are, blindfolding ourselves and hoping it all works out great.
(This is held over from last week bc I was too angry then to post about it.)
