CDC Official Admits Why They Refused To Bring Back Trump's Border Lawn And It'll Piss You Off
Remember how demonized Americans were if they chose not to get the COVID vaccine? The president was declaring them murderers [practically and the media served to fuel that fire. Ironically, states like Florida which did not enforce Biden's vaccine passports were fully villainized while politicians secretly snuck off to vacation there.
Well, hold on to your butts because this is going to piss you off. It did me, anyway.
The top U.S. health official on migration told Congress he chose not to bring back a Trump-era border rule that expelled migrants because he didn't want to label them as 'virus spreaders'. Biden did not require border crossers to get vaccinated and tried to tell Americans that despite being COVID-positive and released into the general population—They were not spreading the virus.
Dr. Marty Cetron, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) Division of Global Migration and Quarantine said that he refused to reinstate Title 42, a border rule responsible for expelling millions of migrants to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, during a May interview with the House Select Subcommittee because he believed similar rules led to the scapegoating of certain communities, according to a transcript of the interview. Cetron later refused to sign the order implementing Title 42.
An “epidemic of disease … can be followed by an epidemic — an inappropriate epidemic of stigma and misrepresentation of where the problem is,” Cetron said.
“I was concerned that there may be a motivation that was beyond the specific public health agenda,” Cetron argued.
The Trump administration began expelling migrants under Title 42 in March 2020. Trump administration aides, including Stephen Miller, pushed for the policy’s implementation, rather than CDC public health experts, Cetron said, according to CBS News.
“It did not originate from CDC,” Cetron told congressional investigators.
Cetron “refused” to sign onto implementing Title 42 because “we could not substantiate that the threat was, quote/unquote, being addressed by this.”
How do you like them apples?
So the CDC and this administration did not want to bring back pandemic-era border protection laws because they did not want to 'stigmatize' the unvaccinated illegals. They had no problem stigmatizing legal residents and voters. Could it be because those 'villains' were the same people the couldn't get to vote for them?
