It’s NOT “following the science” if you issue fictitious medical advice based on industry interests.
The Washington Post – CDC plans to drop five-day covid isolation guidelines, By Lena H. Sun, February 13, 2024 “The plan to further loosen isolation guidance when the science around infectiousness has not changed is likely to prompt strong negative reaction from vulnerable groups, including people older than 65, those with weak immune systems and long-covid patients, CDC officials and experts said.”
Imagine if your doctor withheld cancer treatment because your employer needs you on the job for the next few months. Your employer doesn’t care if you live 20 more years or if you die 6 months from now they can replace you by then, but they want you on the job now, so you are refused life-saving treatment, or maybe your doctor doesn’t even bother to tell you there’s treatment. All to cater to the business you work for.
This appears to be CDC’s plan with infectious disease, and beyond. All diseases will be “streamlined” into a PR package that favours industry interests, and puts profits over people.
