CDC Suppressing Long COVID Info

Isn't this wonderful? 

From Julia Doubleday at The Gauntlet: CDC hides replies referencing the Senate HELP Committee's Long COVID Hearing; The public health body is purposely suppressing information about the severity and frequency of Long COVID, as well as information about high-quality masks.

Why am I not surprised by this?

"As advocates began to note that their replies had been hidden, new replies asked the CDC why it had hidden information about masking, layered protections, the limitations of the vaccines and the long-term harms of COVID. These replies were hidden as well.

"This behavior on the part of the country’s foremost public health body exemplifies just how politicized its messaging has become. The Biden Administration, bent on running for re-election with the false claim of 'ending the pandemic' under its belt, simply cannot abide or promote discussion of the dangers of repeated COVID infections, nor any mention of mitigation measures that might remind the public that COVID isn’t over.

"Falsely promoting the idea that vaccines alone can protect you from poor outcomes of COVID is also contributing to vaccine hesitancy and anti-vax conspiracy."

Make sure you read the whole column.
