Awful to see the steady dismantling of the CDC. There are doctors and science advocates coming together to scaffold and build up trustworthy sources of info outside of the CDC. I follow epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina and she has a great newsletter she started up around Covid and has kept going - https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/ She recommends the general public avoid the CDC web site now. She recommends healthychildren.org powered by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Some U.S. states have also partnered together i.e. the West Coast Health Alliance that have pulled away from the CDC recommendations. A friend of mine in health noted it's a big reason why we (I'm in California) can still get our Covid vaccines regardless of age while her sister in Oklahoma was denied. I know there are some North Eastern states that have also partnered up. Going to be very different healthcare messaging to navigate state by state...

I'll say in don't think it matters if they do or don't. Implying they had any effect of his positions or opinions is verifiably medical misinformation and fairly bigoted at that. Madison Cawthorne is in a wheelchair, is it ok for me to imply that his shitty opinions and positions are because he can't use his legs? Id say no and if you think otherwise I would say that says volumes about you.

It matters, that's just something bigots say to relieve their guilt for being bigots.

Ed: also yes, you. You're that person, saying he has shitty opinions because "worms ate his brain" is both wrong, bigoted and medical misinformation.

So I'll apologize to all the people who have become disingenuous dipshits who deny all of science because a worm ate part of their brains.
