Trump Installs Commissars at the CDC

Make no mistake about it: Trump is doing what he can to ensure that science conforms to his fantasy view of reality. One step is to put politruks in the CDC:

The Trump White House has installed two political operatives at the nation’s top public health agency to try to control the information it releases about the coronavirus pandemic as the administration seeks to paint a positive outlook, sometimes at odds with the scientific evidence.

The two appointees assigned to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Atlanta headquarters in June have no public health background. They have instead been tasked with keeping an eye on Dr. Robert Redfield, the agency director, as well as scientists, according to a half-dozen CDC and administration officials who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal government affairs.

This is just more evil stupidity from the Trump administration. At this point, it's becoming clear that one can be loyal to The United States of America or one can be loyal to Donald Trump. One cannot be both.

Between the CDC and the USDA, the restoring of the scientists in the US government is going to be a monumental task.
