REPORT: We've received new CDC documents, that we will release over the coming days...

But the continued redactions leave more questions than answers.

The American people deserve transparency.

(thread)

On Feb. 9th 2021, the WH COVID Response Team's Deputy Director for Strategic Comms emailed @CDCDirector & Dr. Fauci the "latest Tough QA"..."ahead of announcements."

This portion has been redacted.

What announcements happened in press briefings following that? Glad you asked...

That same day @PressSec reiterated "the importance of" getting their Department of Education nominee, Miguel Cardona, confirmed...

Why?

To work towards the re-opening of American schools.

Then, 4 days later, the CDC released the now infamous school re-opening guidelines...

The same guidelines that the White House and CDC allowed to be manipulated by political teachers unions.

Could the "Tough QA" talking points have been to help @CDCDirector and Dr. Fauci sell the overtly politicized CDC guidelines to the American people?

We can't be certain because they redacted that information.

The American people deserve the truth.

Not only did the docs show message coordination,

@CDCDirector was caught requesting permission from WH COVID Response Coordinator, Jeffrey Zients, to stretch the truth regarding schools when talking to governors.

"I know I'm walking a fine line here... It would be truthful..."

This clearly shows the @CDCDirector attempting to manipulate the truth to fit an agenda on school re-openings.

On what specific point? We're not sure...

Why? Because it was redacted.

Could the attempt have been regarding school re-openings and teacher vaccinations?

This announcement came less than 24 hours after the @CDCDirector's email...

And, as if that wasn't bad enough, Jeffrey Zients was caught conducting official business on his personal email account.

This is a potential federal records violation.
