Donald Trump was "elected" President.

Replace Trump And Bolster The CDC, A Leading Medical Journal Urges

The unsigned editorial sharply criticizes the Trump administration, saying it has marginalized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to a degree that is dangerous for both the U.S. and the world.​
"Americans must put a president in the White House come January, 2021, who will understand that public health should not be guided by partisan politics," the journal says.[...]​
"The Administration is obsessed with magic bullets — vaccines, new medicines, or a hope that the virus will simply disappear," the journal states. "But only a steadfast reliance on basic public health principles, like test, trace, and isolate, will see the emergency brought to an end, and this requires an effective national public health agency."​
Seeking to lay a pile of critical failings at Trump's feet, the editorial — titled "Reviving the U.S. CDC" — says a federal agency that was once "the gold standard for global disease detection and control" has devolved into an "ineffective and nominal adviser" on the U.S. response to a disease that poses a public health threat of historic proportions.​
How does destroying an institution that was looked to for guidance by the entire world make America great?
 
Trump is merely a disturbing symptom of a much larger problem.

We should be looking at history, especially around 80 years ago, and asking ourselves how this presidency happened.

This is about us, not him.
The article did mention that Republicans had been chipping away at the CDC, but Trump has taken bigger chunks than anyone that came before...at the worst possible time.

The journal accuses the Trump administration of accelerating the "erosion" of the CDC that it says took place under earlier Republican administrations that used the CDC and its funding to score political points – actions that, The Lancet says, previously limited the agency's ability to combat emergencies such as the HIV/AIDS crisis.​

I think the NHS, CDC, and WHO have marginalized themselves with their horse shit predictions.

Who wants to listen to those shitheads? Wear a mask...don't wear a mask...it won't be a big deal...URGENT PANDEMIC!
They are tits on a boar worthless.

Now that's rich, if the CDC had done their fucking job they'd prevented Kung Flu from getting out of China. Instead they believed the WHO and China propaganda. The entire system should be dismantled and put back together with a big fucking sign out front. America First!

How is it the CDCs responsibility to keep a virus contained in another country?

You do realize that America's outbreak came from Europe, right?

The outbreak came from China. China locked down travel from Wuhan to other areas of China but allowed Chinese to travel to Europe. So the farce promoted by the lunatic left is that the outbreak came from Europe is just deflection. New York tried to sue Trump from restricting travel from Europe. That's the facts Jack. You can't change them.

Pretty simple, for those who have a brain.

They make recommendations to the National Security Apparatus who then takes it to the President.

Did they do any of that?

No

What they ARE doing is playing politics. They are not elected officials. They have a specific task and a clearly marked out chain of command.

They deserve to be marginalize. However, the fact that they may or may not be marginalized poses no threat to the US citizenry unless of course, you are unable to think for yourself. So, yeah. The left half of the country (who thought Trump told them to drink bleach) are not capable of thinking for themselves.

This is who most conservatives are, this is what they do: they attack all and any science that conflicts with rightist dogma, Trump is no exception.

And Trump has attacked facts, the truth, and the science concerning the COVID-19 pandemic because he perceives that science as a threat to his reelection bid – marginalizing the CDC being one such example.

Replace Trump, indeed.

In fact, they are. Just showing up with a Politician is politics. They have a number of avenues in which they can get information out without sucking up to the Media.
