There's nothing sensible about you IA, lol. The cdc is, ofc, still fully in the tank for sticking everyone with needles for all the things, and universal masking. They're still fully on board with screening, too. It -would- recommend a mandate...but wingnuts on the bench ruled that the center for disease control does not have the authority to control disease, similar to the way that they ruled that the environmental protection agency does not have the authority to protect the environment. Oddly enough, the wingnuts haven't challenged the mmr.....yet...but I do expect them to be rooting for polio during the next outbreak.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Even at work, the medical staff love to be outspoken about their opinions regarding how anti-vax they are, their body, their choices - we're all going to get it anyway, because the vaccines don't mean you can't catch it - it's just a more evolved version of the flu. I just keep quiet while listening to them.

So when you originally read her comment, you thought she was implying literally that if the CDC hired me as their spokesperson, she would then turn against them? You honestly thought she was literally talking about the prospect of the CDC hiring me? Isn't that the most random thought ever and a really weird thing to bring up in a post? If that was what she actually meant, I doubt anyone actually got that interpretation from her post. I think most people interpreted it as her saying that the CDCs recommendations shouldn't necessarily always be followed, which has been my position all along, and would be an admittance on her part I was correct all along in my analysis that criticizing the CDC was not a dismissal of science and did not make me anti-science as was claimed. Don't act like most people on here haven't been using the same line of "the CDC knows best and we need to obey their recommendations as a society because these are the experts and we need to follow the science." Don't act like that hasn't been the line used here throughout the entire pandemic, until now, where you have the CDC not agreeing with people's preference for school mandates and the CDC recommending an end to social distancing and other restrictions in schools. Don't act like people on here haven't been in large part in support of the twitter rule that bans people for posting about things contrary to what the CDC says. I can't prove what AWTY meant with her post because I can't get into her mind, and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, but it was absolutely sensible for me to take away from her post what I originally did.
Maybe you should just avoid trying to guess what other people think going forward, instead of doubling down on it.

And maybe not circle around within two posts and contradict yourself.
Trainwreck school vaccine policy put on hold until January, and the NAACP joins in the fight against white supremacist vaccine mandates. In b4 people start shitting on the NAACP advocating for the education of black children to own the so called "anti-vaxxers".

Yes, they are, by definition. If something disproportionately impacts black school children, that is white supremacy. The policy doesn't have to be aimed at hurting black children. It just has to be the impact. I don't think you are intentionally pushing white supremacy, but I do believe everyone is a little bit racist, and even though you're not necessarily being racist on purpose, Tomato, I do hold it against you that you know what the impact of this policy would be and you still support it, so that shows me that you're willing to throw 40 percent of black children under the bus even though vaccination has an extremely small impact on spread.
Vaccine mandates aren't white supremacy. That's just absurd and for the rest of your anti-vaxxer nonsense it's just that ...Nonsense
