1/ Spare me the crocodile tears at the CDC exits! This institution DESTROYED children and RUINED trust in health institutions for a generation. The whole place needs to be gutted!

When historians look back on the COVID years, they won’t just document a virus. They’ll document the collapse of America’s most trusted health agency into a factory of fear, censorship, and bad science. The CDC didn’t just miss the mark --> it repeatedly tripped over its own contradictions, buried evidence, and treated the public as an obstacle instead of a partner.Image
2/ The CDC’s own reports admitted errors, yet they fought to keep the receipts hidden. Instead of transparency, the agency slow-walked Freedom of Information Act requests, releasing half-empty inboxes years after the fact.
3/ Every week, the CDC sent “BOLO lists” of so-called misinformation directly to Twitter. They coordinated with Facebook (which happily dropped $15 million in free ad credits), and even pressured Google to shape search results.

This wasn’t public health—it was narrative enforcement. Federal health bureaucrats deciding what Americans were allowed to read, post, or share.Image
4/ The CDC quietly cut a $420,000 check to a data broker for location data on 20 million phones per day. Why? To monitor whether people obeyed curfews, skipped church, or visited schools.

The contract was labeled “urgent COVID-19 work,” but internal documents admitted the data would be used for far more than the pandemic. The CDC turned disease control into population control.Image
5/ CDC launched “V-safe,” an app to actively track vaccine side effects. Then they shut it down in June 2023—while still pushing boosters on every man, woman, and child.

Worse, the agency knew about myocarditis risks by early 2021. Draft bulletins were written but never sent. Public warnings were delayed or watered down, even as internal discussions admitted the signal was real.

When lives were at stake, CDC chose spin over honesty.Image
6/ Remember the Arizona school masking study? CDC ended their analysis exactly at the peak of cases, conveniently missing the reversal that followed. Independent reviews found no significant benefit when the full dataset was used.

And in the bigger picture? A systematic review of CDC mask studies showed less than 30% even tested mask effectiveness, zero randomized trials, and only 14% with statistically significant results. This wasn’t science—it was propaganda wrapped in a footnote.Image
7/ Six feet apart. Plexiglass shields. Masking toddlers at recess. The CDC pushed a parade of mandates with almost no evidentiary backbone. Outdoor restrictions were laughable, yet enforced. All pain, no gain. Note: this image got me banned from Facebook. Image
8/ The costs of this junk science landed hardest on kids. School closures robbed children of years of learning, socialization, and development. Remote schooling was a failure everywhere it was tried, yet the CDC clung to the shutdown model long after the evidence was in.

Now we’re left with historic learning loss and eroded trust in routine immunization programs. That’s the CDC’s legacy for America’s children.
9/ Falls. Suicides. Car accidents. Gunshots. Hundreds of “accidental” deaths were logged as COVID fatalities in those under 60 in 2021. This inflated the fear, skewed the numbers, and justified more emergency power grabs. Image
10/ CDC decided it wasn’t just about disease anymore. They tried to impose a federal eviction moratorium. They pushed rigid six-foot distancing everywhere from schools to restaurants. And they stamped “approved” on universal masking, regardless of context or consequence.

Then, despite acknowledging waning efficacy, the CDC’s own ACIP voted 15–0 to bake COVID shots permanently into the pediatric schedule. Once policy ossifies, truth doesn’t matter.
11/ Yes, the CDC actually drafted a “shielding approach” that involved moving “high-risk” people into “green zones”—segregated areas with no movement in or out. They limited worship, anticipated mental breakdowns, and prepped for suicides. Image
12/ From the start, CDC dismissed natural immunity—insisting that prior infection offered no real protection. Even as studies mounted, even as waves passed, the agency stuck to its script. Variants came and went, yet the policies never adjusted.
The CDC wasn’t just wrong—they were arrogant, deceptive, and often authoritarian. They suppressed data, censored dissent, and enforced unscientific rules that cost Americans their livelihoods, their freedoms, and their children’s future. bit.ly/3HRaXD4

The damage is done. The only question left is whether we learn the lesson, or let the same bureaucrats run the next “emergency.”

🚨 The economy is flashing red across every sector. I've been BEGGING the Trump administration to reset expectations. This wasn't caused by tariffs but the trade deals are NOT going to get us out of this trouble

A thread of signals you’re not hearing from the headlines:

🧵1/
📉 Workers feel it coming.
Job loss fears just hit 15.7%—worst since lockdowns.

People know the layoff wave is building.
2/
📉 You lose your job today? Good luck. Only 49.2% believe they could find work in 3 months. That’s 2020-level despair. JOLTS at very low measures right now
3/
💼 Big companies are warning you: it's a recession. Walmart missed earnings. McDonald's and airlines say it outright. They're prepping layoff lists.

1/🧵 Welcome to the Hall of Woke! The San Diego science museum opened its doors for December Nights and we took all the kids for the lights, food and fun. While the girls were using the restroom I was waiting in what appears to be the Hall of Woke - just outside.

Get ready for the ride.

The wall was emblazoned with rainbows and portraits declaring: New Science! “Queer and intersectional identities are revolutionizing how science gets done”Image
Image
2/ The hallway, featured a dozen of the craziest most aggressive intersectionality “science people” ever assembled. They even had a queer Sikh with a rainbow Turban: “To me, science is personal. I bring my multifaceted identity into the lab, and it informs the work
I choose to do and the way in which I do it. I enjoy doing interdisciplinary work that combines different methods from neuropsychology and neuroimaging along with advanced quantitative approaches, and I think that this overall strategy comes from an understanding of individual people as layered.
My expression of queerness is influenced by my
Sikh values, which motivate me to be visible and work towards equity within science and beyond.”Image
3/ Then you come across the superhero known as shark-non-binary person! (They/Them pronouns on many posters). “Sharks and I share a similar story-we are both ambassadors of our own existence and we both fight against a dying world. As one of a handful of non-binary people of color in shark sciences, I continue to lead the way for diversity and inclusion in academia, not just out of passion, but survival.”Image

🧵As the Good Book says, "there is nothing new under the sun." The absurdity and chaos of the Covid pandemic was an echo. Let's go back 400 years to Milan, Italy where a REAL plague (THE plague) drove that city INSANE. 1/ Image
In his 1827 novel I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed), Italian author Alessandro Manzoni writes about the difficult journey of two lovers affianced in 17the century Milan. The story is fiction but was thoroughly researched by Manzoni from original source journals. 2/ Image
The fatality rate of the plague has been estimated between 30% and 60% but Manzoni points out that the more ruinous part of the disease was the fear! "The image of this supposed danger beset and tortured the minds of the people far more than the real and existing danger." 3/

The Judge in the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit dropped a bombshell of a document to add support to his preliminary injunction. LOTS of govt defendants. Here are the 25 instances cited where the White House tried to CENSOR Americans in collusion with social media companies.
1/ On Jan 23, 2021, the Digital Director for the COVID-19 Response Team contacted Twitter to remove an anti-vaccine tweet by @RobertKennedyJr. She asked for oversight on similar tweets.
2/ On Feb 6, 2021, the ex-Deputy Assistant to the President (Rob Flaherty) urged Twitter to suspend a parody account associated with President Biden’s granddaughter. Twitter acted swiftly, suspending the account in 45 minutes.
