Political spin replacing science
It’s becoming apparent that conservative political ideology is taking control, not only over what citizens are told about the weather, particularly global warming, or the drugs they will be permitted to take, but also what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be permitted to do as far as public health is concerned.
This, an informed public might conclude, would come under the heading of political tampering with the very organization the public must trust should a health-related emergency occur. If this is the case, and several former directors of the CDC say that it is, the agency is following very dangerous path. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Dr. William Foege, who led the CDC from 1977 to 1983, told a symposium at George Washington University School of Public Health “there’s a perception that politics trumps science and the truth.”
