The CDC prizes its independence. These days, it’s getting micromanaged by the Trump White House.

President Trump and his advisers have taken a more hands-on role than previously known in shaping Covid-19 recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, helping create a crisis of confidence in the nation’s top public-health agency.

The changes the White House has sought—in many cases successfully—go beyond the agency’s public messaging. White House advisers have made line-by-line edits to official health guidance, altering language written by CDC scientists on church choirs, social distancing in bars...

Inside the Fall of the CDCgov: How the world’s greatest public health organization was brought to its knees by a virus, the president and the capitulation of its own leaders, causing damage that could last much longer than the coronavirus.

It’s not ok for church goers to sing but it’s ok for people to protest in the street, scream, and waller over each other like ants? Get out of my face with this double standard BS!!!!!!!

Biggest executive failure in US history

The reason why COVID has done so much destruction across the world is because we have locked down the churches. If all the true churches had taken up their rightful authority this plague would have been utterly destroyed already

The church should sing. A matter of fact an anointed church filled with the Holy Spirit is the place where people should open their mouths and worship. CDC lost it’s head if they want to restrict the churches. When the praises go up the blessings will come down

“Stop singing”.... the old WSJ would’ve failed against this. WSJ = NYT

When gov't entities start ' recommending' that people stop or pull back on praising the Lord God then they're micromanaging. To die from COVID and praising God vs. dying from COVID and being FRIGHTENED into not praising God, because the CDC said so, that nasal droplets kill.

realDonaldTrump is after Biden, a junk newspaper. This will happen when the last TRUMP election is the champion 🕶️

Sorry, when those 1200 doctors signed that petition to allow protesters and rioters because of importaint issues, they lost all credibility

Ok

WSJ the bias journal !!

It appears that the media, politicians, and others want us to put our FAITH, CONFIDENCE, and TRUST in the science of the 'world's pre-eminent public health organizations.' Too many divided loyalties and hidden agendas exist within the CDC, WHO, politicians and media to trust them

Sign at home, where in the Bible does it say you have to sign and be at church. I love and worship God, but I don’t need to show anyone to be closer to God. CDC has been trying to make sure people are healthy, that’s all. Come on!

Let’s vote the cdc out. Talking about discrimination they are telling people what can and cannot be done on church. What happen to separation of church and state. I quess discrimination against Christians don’t count for some

“Poorly”

Hypocrite

You are never going to stop people from worshiping the God who created this very world you we are living in.

To date, i have seen videos of people offering to do just about anything imaginable to get Trump out of office. from blowjobs to murder. it's not hard to imagine that some would inflate numbers, extend lockdowns, or lie about fundamental issues - it's less effort.

micromismanaged

Did the CDC have any particular guidance regarding yelling and chanting at protests the past 4 months ? Just curious.

It is criminal how this president and vice president have destroy this amazing institution-treating dedicated people, experts in their field, as personal assistants and spokespeople for a restlessly flawed, myopic failure. This WhiteHouse is a global embarrassment of ineptitude.

You cannot stop people from singing. That is overreach. Is there now a singing police in church. Are we in China or Russia? If Biden is elected, Kamala will make that happen.

Tell them to huddle and sing louder!

They literally want to kill people🛑

DON’S BODY COUNT of children, Moms & Dads AS OF TODAY 224,284 as he continues his plan of “IT IS WHAT IT IS” DON’S PLAN of Herd Immunity will take 80% of the citizens to become infected resulting in US 3,310,026 DEATHS! Instead of fighting his CDC & FDA, HE SHOULD JUST BE HONEST!

CDC has been wrong so often everyone considers it a joke. Kind of like the author of this story.

Of course he did, he makes the rules & laws in this country, its called maximum delusion & demented. Everybody sees his flaws, mistakes, hate, blame for killing over 219,000+ Spewing out extremely conspiracy theories. Vote✔Joe Biden❤

As they should have - the CDC has been an embarrassment from day one - more interested in fueling a democratic led artificial crisis of government than to do their jobs and prevent democrat governors from taking american lives with their insane efforts.

Ultimately it's up to the church congregation. State the risks & recommendations. People have to decide the risk. If the congregation gets Covid 19 and a few of them die from it that was their decision. Churches are broadcasting services so people can watch from home if they want

CDC is chirping b/c they were reminded who they work for. If officials there don't like being questioned or having a President who makes decisions they don't like they can quit. These organizations are bloated anyway

Trump is overcome COV-19, if Biden is infected, I don’t think he he he can😎😎😎

I read 2 lines & got irritated. There should have been no grappling. Dr Redfield as head of the CDC should have spoken out when he saw how this administration was trying to severely down play the virus which we all kno was and still is Trumps game plan. If he got fired so be it

realDonaldTrump knows all about disease control because he had an uncle at MIT.

CDC has been a train wreck. White House should have managed them more not less

Here is an article published by politico when the left didn’t want Joe Biden to be the nominee. Enjoy!

Stop living in Fear.

It was nixed because you can't tell churches HOW to worship CDC. 🙄

The irony in this headline too!! Micromanage.... interesting wording.

Stop creating a pandemic!

Trump 2020 🇺🇸 Let freedom ring

But it's okay to riot? Portland Seattle

The CDC is a political organization now unfortunately - they shouldn’t be giving directives to the population on any subject until they can prove it with science -real science - they advise the executive branch and shut up.

Hey good, the whole don’t sing in church is literally the most idiotic thing to try to enforce. Make the recommendation ok, don’t call for law enforcement. Good job Trump!

Rallies over recovery Poll numbers over pall bearers Reelection over infections These are trump's clear priorities. Donald Trump does not give a damn about the health and welfare of the American people.

Trump is the mistake from the beginning till the end... For a man who thinks he knows everything it's really pathetic how little he does know. And what's more pathetic is how the United States has lost so many precious lives because of his stupid egotistical behavior.

Terribly wrong!

Telling churches they can't sing is micromanaging.

Had CDC been able to develop a COVID test in February ... What do they complain about

CDC made many errors related to original testing tgey need better management

For what CDC did to control the spread of China virus, nothing is micromanage. cDC need be managed, period.

Micromismanged.

Science VS Politics = CDC

CDC has been disappointed Americans.

The head of the CDC seems weak and its been very erratic.

You must be having a laugh. CDC is mainly funded by Big Pharma and Gates, even though it is supposed to be a federal agency under the control of the Executive Branch and the President.

CDC must remain independent to protect the citizens of the United States from manipulator realDonaldTrump

It needs a major housecleaning, like every other government institution taken over by far Left scumbags.

The bureaucracy that is the CDC doesn’t like their BS being called into question? Weird

It shouldn’t be independent nor should it prize independence. And it’s not independent anyway. It has a lot of interests sending money it’s way

🇺🇸 VoteDForDemocracyVoteRForRuin 🗳

Trump knows better having battled virus victoriously

So, the CDC was acting without WH interference during late 2019 and January 2020 when the China epidemic commenced and the virus diaspora via Chinese passengers on jets traveling around the world was in full force?

Begs the question then, why are scientists silent? Scientists should be vocal off the job since supposedly trusted with the health of the nation. Scientists should come forward and speak their piece collectively instead of remaining silent.

Fake news

morning new mister président of state

Im okay with that! This agency needs to be revamped!

National Review asked 'If the Democrats win everything...' my answer you can blame Trump and Trumpism. As Lindsey Graham once said, May 3rd, 2016: 'If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.'

journalismisdead

Perhaps because they have no idea what they are doing?

WSJ, With all the destruction & chaos Donald has created in the CDC & FDA, Joe is going to have A LOT OF WORK TO DO, to get the federal government back together to begin helping American get past this Pandemic Crisis!

Should be managed by Trump because CDC is a mess, totally political institution and the Head as we all can realize has ZERO commitment to the science.

The CDC has become a joke. They don't know what they are doing.

You could say the same thing about DOD and Obama

Because the CDC has botched a lot.

The CDC deserves it. They’ve done a miserable job. Hopefully a complete reset is ahead. Same for the NIH

Well they lied about the actual number of deaths so ya they should be in jail.

It’s apparent somebody needs to

CDC plays politics

CDC has been gutted

Enter Scott Atlas. You disappoint me wsj

Donnie-come-lately realDonaldTrump treats Covid-19 like it’s Putin. TrumpKnew TrumpLied COVID19 NotAHoax NotUnderControl NotDownToZero Not99PercentHarmless NotGoingAway NotInAGoodPlace TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks TrumpDoesntCare

When it was left to its own devices it became a China/Gates puppet with the WHO. Surely reporting into Government is as it should be?

The head of CDC doesn’t know what day it is much less anything about this virus. Good grief.

That's what happens when you continually release falsified numbers. Someone puts a stop to the agenda and corruption.

2016 --- 2020

The American people know what's going on and are in the process of fixing the problem!

And losing all credibility in the process

Media is being Micromanaged by the DNC ☕️☕️

20 more days and the huge ego Trump will have all the helium leaked out of his balloon. No more micromanagement. Retweet

And then there are the MainstreamMedia stories complaining that Trump isn't doing enough or involved enough.

But CDC is for We the People, 'Mission, Role and Pledge |

Why is America Not Aware That Doctor Richard Bartlett Has Treated 1,000 + COVID-19 Patients Treated w/ 0 Deaths?!!! Read His Case Study -

Someone really needs to check this agency? There hiring practice needs an overhaul. No inclusion, no diversity.

Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci’s predictions back in March suggested that the death toll can be from 200,000 if everything is done perfectly to 1.6M or even 2.5M worst case (doing absolutely nothing). Overall the CDC and WH are doing fine based on that prediction.

Funny how for decades before the last 4 years, CDC was the most revered independent science-based organization worldwide

Nobody has a backbone.

Independence is great, but who checks them? Need check & balance especially government entities regardless if they are CDC or otherwise!!!

Nonsense! They’re typical swamp creatures. Look at their campaign contributions. They protect their own. No different than you at WSJ!

Tell me with a straight face that the CDC is not politicized like every other institution sympathizes with the left against Trump

Red field is as outmoded as his silly facial hair.

Similar to the lamestream media’s unrelenting micromanaging POTUS?

CDC? Grade? C. No D. Purveyors of opinion and politics, not science.

Well, the CDC is incompetent. What would you expect?

With the CDC's stumbling and fumbling for the first few months of this, maybe micromanagement is what they need for a while.

They may prize their independence, but they are part of an Executive department and, hence, subject to whatever level of control the executive (the President) chooses to exercise. 'The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.'

Only for a few more weeks.

Maybe if they were in unbiased agency, Trumpwouldn’t have to stop their application of left agendas in science.
