What is the People's CDC?
El CDC del pueblo es una coalición de profesionales de la salud pública, científicos, trabajadores de la salud, educadores, defensores y personas de todos los ámbitos de la vida que trabajan para reducir los impactos dañinos de COVID-19.
Brindamos orientación y recomendaciones de políticas a los gobiernos y al público sobre COVID-19, difundiendo actualizaciones basadas en evidencia que se basan en la equidad, los principios de salud pública y la literatura científica más reciente.
Working alongside community organizations, we are building collective power and centering equity as we work together to end the pandemic. The People’s CDC is volunteer-run and independent of partisan political and corporate interests and includes anonymous local health department and other government employees. The People’s CDC is completely volunteer run with infrastructure support being provided by The University of Orange.
La pandemia NO ha terminado
El CDC (Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades) está creando la apariencia de que la pandemia ha terminado. IT IS NOT.
“Al fin de Febrero, el CDC presento un nuevo sistema de monitoreo para Covid-19 basado en lo que ellos llaman "Niveles comunitarios". Al minimizar la importancia de la transmisión de Sars-CoV-2, el nuevo sistema convirtió instantáneamente lo que era un mapa de pandemia todavia rojo de transmisión Omicron a verde, creando la falsa impresión de que la pandemia ha terminado.
Publicado cuatro días antes del Estado de la Unión, el nuevo CDC Las medidas y la narrativa que crearon permitieron al presidente Biden reclamar la victoria sobre el virus a través de un juego de manos: un cambio de informes estándar de transmisiones comunitarias a medidas de riesgo basadas en gran medida en métricas polémicas basadas en hospitales. Las policias anteriores llamaban a cualquier cosa por encima de 50 casos por cada 100,000 personas "sustancial o alto". Ahora, dicen que 200 casos por cada 100,000 es "bajo" siempre que las hospitalizaciones también sean bajas.
“The resulting shift from a red map to a green one reflected no real reduction in transmission risk. It was a resort to rhetoric: an effort to craft a success story that would explain away hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths and the continued threat the virus poses”
