Centers For Deception Control – OpEd |
The author says the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service—its “disease detectives”—is missing from COVID’s official success story, and that 2020–23 outbreak detection failed despite EIS’s usual claim to catch threats early.
He ties early 2020 briefings by Nancy Messonnier to scripts from EIS veterans including Anne Schuchat, says Messonnier would not discuss Wuhan travel, and notes both left the CDC in May 2021.
