Trump has destroyed every agency in our government. The CDC is no exception. There have been countless times where the CDC has withdrawn or modified COVID19 guidelines just to appease Trump. A former CDC director, Dr. William Foege, sent a private letter reported to the current director Dr. Redfield. Here is a key quote from that letter as reported in USA Today:
“Don’t shy away from the fact that this has been an unacceptable toll on our country. It is a slaughter and not just a political dispute,” Foege wrote. “You don’t want to be seen, in the future, as forsaking your role as servant to the public in order to become a servant to a corrupt president.”
Yes indeed. The same can be said about every Republican Congressional Representative who has enabled Trump’s debasement of our government. Here is the link to the story:
