covid.gov has been nuked and replaced with fascist propaganda

[cadoman]

I am literally shaking as I type this.

Here's what covid.gov looked like earlier this month:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250410024551/https://www.covid.gov/

Resources for getting vaccinated, understanding symptoms, and the importance of masking and social distancing, have all been replaced by outright lies from the tangerine tyrant about the origins of COVID 19, besmirchment of Dr. Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance, attacks on important public servants like Dr. Fauci, and even attacks on the humble public workers like Marge Moore.

Worst of all, a total lack of acknowledgement of the harm done by that piece of shit trash fucker who made all this 100x worse than it needed to be by throwing out a great playbook that was created under President Obama.

I am not going to link to what is there now, but beware that our institutions are crumbling and being tossed down the memory hole in front of our eyes. Keep stocked on masks. Stay up to date on your boosters while you can. Find a doctor who believes in science because it's about to be replaced by fake science and fascist lies. Learn French or Spanish and have your passport ready to move to a resistance nation.

I am not going to link to what is there now. It is NSFD (not safe for our Democracy).

4. JFC! Here are a few excerpts, if anyone is interested:

The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation — which shut down schools and small business across the country — was arbitrary and not based on science. During closed door testimony, Dr. Fauci testified that the guidance “sort of just appeared.”

There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19. Public health officials flipped-flopped on the efficacy of masks without providing Americans scientific data — causing a massive uptick in public distrust.

Public health officials often mislead the American people through conflicting messaging, knee-jerk reactions, and a lack of transparency. Most egregiously, the federal government demonized alternative treatments and disfavored narratives, such as the lab leak theory, in a shameful effort to coerce and control the American people’s health decisions.

When those efforts failed, the Biden Administration resorted to “outright censorship—coercing and colluding with the world’s largest social media companies to censor all COVID-19-related dissent.”

Fucking assholes.

5. I went to covid.gov to check it out

Holy shit!

It redirects to a page on whitehouse.gov that is pure MAGA disinformation propaganda, just drumpf-level garbage.

11. re: covid

Resources for getting vaccinated, understanding symptoms, and the importance of masking and social distancing, have all been replaced by outright lies

I think that after five years and billions of hours spent talking about it from one end of the globe to the next, anyone needing any understanding about symptoms, masking and social distancing has probably been hidden deep in the Amazon jungle at this point.

12. Smoke and mirrors to cover up for the fact that the blame falls on the grifter.

From Reuters in March 2020 - The grifter removed CDC personnel from China in 2018. I believe if they had been on the ground, with eyes on the situation, they may have been able to lock it down before it spread to the whole world. But that is just my humble opinion.
