The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared that all coronavirus screening in public schools must be “voluntary,” warning that compulsory testing is a violation of both ethics and the law. In a new set of guidelines for testing in K-12 schools earlier this week, the CDC noted that administrators are required to obtain consent from parents or guardians before testing students. “If a school is implementing a testing strategy, testing should be offered on a voluntary basis,” the CDC said. It is unethical and illegal to test someone who does not want to be tested, including students whose parents […]
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday updated its guidelines to note that COVID-19 may spread through airborne transmission. Kumi Smith, assistant professor in the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Minnesota, joined Radio Sputnik Tuesday to discuss the new guidance. According to the new CDC guidelines, “Some infections can be spread by exposure to virus in small droplets and particles that can linger in the air for minutes to hours. These viruses may be able to infect people who are further than 6 feet away from the person who is infected or […]

After teasing a “little surprise visit” via video on Twitter, President Trump left the hospital on Sunday afternoon to wave to supporters from the back seat of an SUV. “It’s been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about COVID,” Trump, who is still suffering from the coronavirus, said in the video. “I learned it by really going to school, this is the real school, this isn’t the ‘let’s the read book’ school, and I get it, and I understand it,” he added. Then, contradicting his own words and the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the […]

Commenting on the issue, White House spokesperson Sarah Matthews said Trump consults with many health experts both inside and outside the federal government, who sometimes have different opinions on how to deal with the coronavirs outbreak. Dr Robert Redfield, director of US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, is allegedly concerned that one doctor has been providing President Donald Trump with misleading information about the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, CNN reported, citing an unnamed federal official. The doctor in question is Scott Atlas, who recently became a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. On 27 September, NBC News […]

Young adults aged 20 to 29 accounted for around 20% of all confirmed COVID-19 novel coronavirus cases recorded in the US between June and August, according to a new study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published by the CDC on Wednesday revealed that younger adults in their 20s saw a surge in positive novel coronavirus tests among their ranks during the summer months. Experts explained that while the risk of fatality is lower in young adults, those carrying the contagious disease “likely contributed to community transmission of COVID-19.” “Younger individuals, […]

A controversial recommendation by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released last month about who should be tested for COVID-19 has been revealed to have not been written by CDC scientists and to have been posted to the agency’s website over their objections. The updated guidance posted on the CDC’s website on August 24 stated that it wasn’t necessary to test people without COVID-19 symptoms, even if they had been exposed to the virus. Some Trump administration officials who spoke with the New York Times said the CDC had written the guidance itself with input from its director, […]
President Trump on Wednesday directly contradicted the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on when the coronavirus vaccine will be available to the general public. Asked at a White House press briefing about Dr. Robert Redfield’s statement earlier on Wednesday that the public most likely won’t get the vaccine until next summer or even fall, Trump said, “That’s incorrect information.” “When he said it, I believe he was confused… We’re ready to go as soon as the vaccine is approved,” the president said, insisting that the vaccine would be ready to be administered “really to the general public […]
Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a Senate committee Wednesday that he believes face masks are “the most important, powerful public health tool we have” to fight COVID-19—and even better than a potential vaccine. “This face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine because the immunogenicity may be 70 percent and if I don’t get an immune response the vaccine’s not going to protect me,” Redfield said. He strongly recommended all Americans wear face masks, especially young people who continue to spike the curve of infections. […]

A recent analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 94% of American patients who have died from COVID-19 had other underlying health conditions. According to the data released on August 26, only 9,683 deaths (6%) had COVID-19 listed as the only cause, which means that 94% of Americans who died after contracting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, had other contributing medical conditions. The CDC based its analysis on provisional death counts, which it said “deliver the most complete and accurate picture of lives lost to COVID-19. The counts are based on death certificates, “which […]

As the number of individuals hospitalized with COVID has dwindled over the past few weeks, the CDC finally recommended against 14 day quarantines for travelers. The above chart from the CDC shows the number of deaths related to the China coronavirus which has drastically reduced. Along with this the number and related to it are the number of hospitalizations which have also dramatically reduced in the past few months and weeks. Now only 3 people per 100,000 are hospitalized with the coronavirus. Apparently, the CDC finally recognized this and announced today that it was no longer necessary for travelers between states […]

Between fiery exchanges and partisan monologues, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, testified on Capitol Hill on Friday that he wasn’t told until after a decision was made that hospitals would be directed to bypass his agency, sending COVID-19 data straight to another database in Washington. Redfield answered a string of questions on the subject from Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), saying he never discussed the decision with Vice President Mike Pence or Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar—but that he believes the plan will help allocate critical experimental COVID-19 drugs like Remdisivir to […]
President Donald Trump’s war against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is escalating. A recent administration email accused the CDC of “undermining the President.” Trump’s contempt marks a dramatic break for this widely respected organization. Traditionally, Republican and Democratic presidents alike have treated the CDC as a neutral do-gooding agency, not a political piñata—what Bill Clinton called “our first line of defense against disease, injury, and disability.” Surprisingly, this important agency was not founded as part of some top-down presidential initiative. Instead, Dr. Joseph Mountin—a little-known American medical prophet who didn’t care about medical profits—pushed and pushed to convince his […]

The White House is now requiring hospitals around the country to change how they report data on COVID-19 patients in a move that effectively bypasses the nation’s largest public health agency. In a letter from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the agency mandated that hospitals send information on their COVID-19 patients directly to a database managed by HHS rather than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The order outlining the alteration claims it will help federal agencies move from manual data entry to automated, which would streamline the collection and dissemination of coronavirus data for multiple […]

Adm. Brett Giroir, the Assistant Secretary for Health who also leads the administration’s coronavirus testing efforts, on Sunday seemingly pushed back against President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of the Centers for Disease Control’s guidelines for reopening schools this fall.

We first reported on March 17, 2020, on the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and his irresponsible and criminal fear mongering. Tedros claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was 3.4% — many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu which is estimated to be around 0.1%. This egregiously false premise led to the greatest global panic in world history. The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3, 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus: While many […]
