Even considering taking down an article that speaks these truths is doing ourselves a massive disservice. The reason we are in this disaster right now is because accurate information has been sequestered to protect personal interests at the expense of the many. That goes from China, to Europe, to North America.

Let's not forget, Exxon knew about and denied the risk of carbon emissions in the 1960s, just as the tobacco industry knew smoking causes cancer, etc.  Sequestering information is what has led us to the climate crisis we now face, and arguably the health care system in this country being so dysfunctional as a result of so many medical interventions due to smoking-related maladies. Let's not do it yet again with this pandemic. Truth is truth and informs us what actions should and shouldn't be taken. It isn't partisan and isn't political. Denying it or believing in an alternative reality doesn't change actual reality.

The CDC actively thwarted Washington from protecting its citizens. This is a fact. I don't care who is responsible or what political persuasion they are or aren't, or if they are a-political, as long as whoever is responsible pays the price for their negligence. If we can't hold people accountable based on their actions we might as well just live in anarchy and go full Lord of the Flies.
