‼️IVANKA TRUMP *personally intervened* to spin @CDCgov messaging on #COVID19 and schools—part of a systematic pattern of Team Trump’s deadly meddling during the #pandemic.
“Every time that the science clashed with the messaging, messaging won”🤬

🔥@GOP Trump appointees—Kyle McGowan, a former CDC chief of staff under Trump, and his deputy, Amanda Campbell—just went public on the Trump administration’s “manipulation of the agency” during the deadly #coronavirus pandemic.
More than 300,000 Americans are now DEAD.🤬

Last week, the editor in chief of the CDC’s highly regarded @CDCMMWR weekly disease outbreak reports—previously considered untouchable—told @HouseDemocrats she was “ordered to destroy an email showing Trump appointees attempting to meddle with their publication.”
CRIMINAL.🤬
CRIMINAL.🤬
The White House insisted on reviewing and SPINNING the CDC’s #COVID19 guidance documents—highly regarded publications of its latest research and scientific consensus on the spread of the #coronavirus.
THIS COST AMERICAN LIVES.🤬

‼️Not only did Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie Ivanka try to overrule CDC scientists:
▶️Kellyanne Conway tried to spin CDC warnings about #SuperSpreader events at choirs and in faith communities.
▶️Russell Vought—WH budget director—fought CDC over #SocialDistancing guidelines for restaurants.

Campbell says CDC has the best scientists in the world (we do!):
“What was so different, though, was the political involvement, not only from @HHSGov but then the White House, ultimately, that in so many ways **hampered what our scientists were able to do**.”
THIS COST LIVES🤬

Per McGowan, world-renowned Dr. Anne Schuchat—32-year CDC staffer, *feared for her job* after being targeted by political appointees for her public comments warning of the seriousness of the #coronavirus pandemic.

‼️@DrNancyM_CDC Messonnier, was sidelined for warning about the #coronavirus.
“There’s not a single thing she said that didn’t come true. Is it more important to have her telling the world and the American public what to be prepared for, or is it just to say, ‘All is well?’”💥

“It’s demoralizing to spend your entire career preparing for this moment, preparing for a #pandemic like this. And then not be able to fully do your job.”
CDC experts “need to be allowed to lead.”

Instead of the deadly spin by Trump about #COVID19, Americans need truthful guidance about the #coronavirus via regular—if not daily—briefings featuring CDC scientists.
I am confident that @JoeBiden and his fabulous team, led by @RonaldKlain will #ListenToScientists.🇺🇸👩⚕️
