29. The CDC has NOTHING to prove.

THEY are not the ones doing the censuring here. That is pure trump and his whores. DO NOT lay this on the CDC.

Days ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of NIAID (National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases), practically wrestled the mic from trumpie to contradict him, while he was standing there.

I've known Tony Fauci for four decades, dating back to the dark days of HIV/AIDS. He is the world's leading expert in this area of medicine, and a doctor of unquestionable integrity. He was scheduled to go on the five big Sunday news programs. He was told by Pence to "stand down," and all his appearances were then cancelled by Pence's office. The WH has shut down the medical experts from speaking.

That's on them. Not on the CDC.
