Je Accuse! The CDC failed almost as much as the Government

 Of course Science failed us nearly as much as the Republicans and Trump. If they had tested and quarantined early and fast hundreds of thousands of people would probably have been saved. Their hubris in not accepting the World Health Organization's offer of a Covid-19 test in favor of their own CDC test was a gigantic failure. If you recall, their test failed and was unreliable. They took two weeks to admit their test failed and they had forced the entire health community, all the major Universities and commercial labs to not use the tests they were developing. And the county and state health services were not permitted to use their own tests but were ordered to "send their samples for testing into CDC. " Their tests failed. No one was traced and quarantined. They watched Asian nations stop the spread rapidly because they had good tests and firm commitment to their people along with decent health systems. Then Trump lied, and lied, and the people of America died and died, and the CDC would not oppose the "Government" ignoring their responsibility to the People! The Republican philosophy that money is more valuable than people took precedent over the Hippocratic oath, scientific honesty, and the precedence for truth. Science failed almost as much as the Republicans. And whoever showed courage and spoke up wasn't supported by their "superiors". That failure cost hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. je accuse! We all should accuse and repair our wounded Nation.
