Team Trump Pushes CDC to Revise Down Its COVID Death Counts

while I am not condoning pressuring the CDC...

I challenge the idea that hiding the healthy from the virus was ever a good strategy.
Or that hiding the healthy saves overall harm. (as long as there are hospital beds.)

We see many countries which practiced hiding are now having to lockdown again.

The CNN headline doesn't quite match the story.

Dr. Francis Collins, whose last day as NIH director is Sunday, told CBS News that he got a "talking to" by Trump, but that he held his ground and would have resigned if Trump made him endorse remedies for Covid-19 that were not based in science.

So Trump didn't make Dr. Collins endorse remedies not backed by science. I'm sure everyone is as shocked as I am that CNN forgot about that in the headline.:rolleyes:

Maybe "talking to" means "pressured to endorse unproven Covid-19 remedies" in your language, but not in English.

oh, ok, I guess when you got a "talking to" by your parents they were being nice and not at all pressing.

No wonder Americans have raised a generation of pussies
