CDC Tells New York Times It Hid Covid Data For Political Reasons

Selectively cherry-picking ‘The Science’ to suit a political narrative is not ‘Following the Science.’ It is malpractice and fraud.
 
According to a recent headline from The New York Times, “the CDC isn’t publishing large portions of the COVID data it collects.” That headline downplays what the article in fact reveals:

Two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country’s response to the public health emergency has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected, several people familiar with the data said.

The article says when the Centers for Disease Control “published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65…it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group least likely to benefit from extra shots.”

“The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public,” according to the Times, “because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.”

They lied, and they don't want to hand over the data because that would prove it.

Reputations would tank, heads would roll.

This truth will be buried under a drumbeat for war ....

Ah, but selectively cherry-picked science is precisely what constitute The Science™ we're all supposed to follow.

This isn't the first time, and "Climate Science" isn't either.
