Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked September 01, 2022
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
August 17, 2022, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle
Walensky publicly admitted the agency’s COVID response “fell short,” and that an internal
reorganization has been launched to improve response times and data sharing, and to
make health guidance easier to understand. Six days before this announcement, the CDC
published updated COVID guidance, now matching what “misinformation spreaders”
have called for all along
The vow to revamp fails to take into account the real reasons why people no longer trust
the CDC, namely their dishonesty, their suppression of science that doesn’t fit the Great
Reset narrative, and their protection of Big Pharma at the expense of American lives,
including children and pregnant women
Despite widespread failures and blatant corruption within the CDC, the National Institutes
of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, the Health and Human Services’ (HHS)
is asking for a bigger budget. Its proposed budget for 2023 is $1.7 TRILLION in
mandatory spending and another $127.3 BILLION in discretionary spending
Of those budgeted trillions, the CDC will in 2023 receive about 1% of the HHS budget, or
$10.6 billion — $2.3 billion more than its 2022 appropriation — and this includes
“mandatory funding to establish a Vaccines for Adults program”
The CDC being wrong on everything about the pandemic — and taking two and a half
years to admit even a fraction of it — is proof positive that centralizing health care
decisions is a bad idea. Ideally, all that HHS money should be divided among the states.
We’d be far better off with local community programs handling current HHS services —
including pandemic response
