It was never about health and safety.
It was always about control and oppression — destroying our children in the process.

CDC operated with missing data as it issued pandemic guidance, emails show
The Biden administration didn’t have data on students’ learning loss when the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its COVID-19 school reopening guidance, internal emails show.
The emails also indicate that Dr. Anthony Fauci flagged an article citing scientific studies disputing the need for students to stay 6 feet apart, noting that the rule appeared to be based on “decades-old research.” Additionally, the CDC denied a Harvard University public health expert’s request for state-level vaccine distribution data, which she needed for her research about how policies affected vaccinations, the emails show.

“These emails show the CDC forged ahead and crafted pandemic policy based on poor data – even after they’ve been warned old and out-of-date research was being used to support their guidelines,” Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, told Fox News. “First, the CDC allowed teachers’ unions to write the guidance on school reopenings, and now we just learned the CDC isn’t publishing large portions of the COVID data it collects.”
CDC officials recently acknowledged in unrelated internal emails that the agency must clean up its data-gathering process, which hindered the pandemic response, Politico reported.
APT provided the emails to Fox News after obtaining them through Freedom of Information Act requests submitted to the CDC.
The CDC did not respond to a request for comment.
Missing data
The government didn’t have data concerning learning loss in various communities, emails show just one day before the CDC issued school reopening guidance.
“We don’t have federally collected data on what is happening inside schools,” Donna Harris-Aikens, deputy chief of staff at the Department of Education, said during a Feb. 11, 2021, briefing between CDC and department officials and Rep. Bobby Scott, a Virginia Democrat.
An unnamed staffer had asked whether a study had been considered regarding learning loss, noting that “[l]earning loss in black and Latino communities is profound.”

“There are private vendors examining issue but believe there is an important role for the federal govt. to robustly collect this data for the entire country,” she added, according to a transcript of the meeting contained within the emails provided to Fox News.
CDC lacked school data by JoeSchoffstall
The CDC issued school reopening guidance the day after the meeting.
A Department of Education spokesperson pointed Fox News to a data-gathering survey that launched in February 2021. None of the questions were related to learning loss, academic outcomes or performance.
Meanwhile, in a separate email sent the day the school guidelines were published, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky questioned whether “missing data” were affecting figures regarding “race and ethnicity” and included in a draft message written on her behalf.
“I was just scanning this report, and it feels like I’m missing something,” Walensky wrote in the heavily redacted email.
“How can the national average be that much higher than the average of whites/AA/Hispanics?” Walensky wrote. “IS it because the others are censored to missing data, as given by the footnote (this feels misleading – but maybe the best way to report it).”
