The letter by Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan calls out the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for exaggerating the risks of influenza. They argue that the CDC has manipulated data according to its interests, causing public confusion and misleading health policies.
• The authors accuse the CDC of inflating influenza threat estimates to suit their needs, resulting in serious public misrepresentation.
• Senior officials in the Biden administration reportedly acknowledged the inaccuracies in CDC data, yet the CDC refused to correct these errors.
• The Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) revealed that the CDC's calculations on flu-related deaths were based on flawed models.
• The authors argue that the CDC’s decision-making has been influenced by political and financial motivations, including accepting funding from pharmaceutical companies.
• They express disdain for the CDC’s reluctance to acknowledge its mistakes and the harmful interventions they have promoted over the years.
• The authors are critical of the CDC’s lack of transparency and suggest that notable scientists within the organization are stifled to protect the status quo.
• The letter implies that the CDC is attempting to remove incriminating information but assures that the authors have preserved evidence of past communications and data.
In their closing sentiments, the authors express skepticism about the CDC's credibility not just concerning influenza but also regarding their COVID-19 reports. They suggest that ongoing scrutiny will reveal more about the CDC's underlying motives and its relationship with public health policy.
