#1 "There are shortcomings in our ability to access the electronic systems designed to help glean facts from clinical data.

There it is! Another 'systems problem.' Obviously an increase in funding is needed.

#2 I believe their annual budget is in the $9 Billion range. They had 1 job, which oddly wasn't related to either obesity or private firearms ownership. Why are THEY not behind bars?

#4 The CDC is more concerned and interested in politics than medicine.

Now please explain why an organization that has had a long history of mediocrity especially with this pandemic, testing anyone, should be elevated to anything other than the gallows?

#6 Sort of like promoting Kimmel and Short after Pearl Harbor.

Heck guys, the CIA director got a medal after 9/11. We don't fire people after failures these days dontchaknow.

#8 #6P. I might add a blatant attempt for complete Dhimmicrap takeover of all American lives. They demand total control at all costs no matter how big the lie.

#9 I think his tweet touched on a major conntributing factor to his problem:

"We're not putting out information quickly to improve clinical practice, inform on emerging issues of medical concern, and guidance to help business restart safely."

Yup. Complicit/compliant media, starting with the hydroxycholoquine issue - "Trump said it, so it must be stupid" headline that went on for weeks.

Sometimes I think the real "Deep State" is the media.

#11 The CDC and FDC didn't exactly cover themselves with glory during this outbreak. If anything, it showed that the large, massive government agencies are pretty inept and not worth the money we throw at them.
