The CDC found itself hoist with its own petard by making 25 basic statistical and numerical errors related to COVID-19, particularly with regard to children, while purporting to expose COVID vaccine misinformation, according to an analysis led by University of California San Francisco epidemiologists.
The preprint, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, documented 20 errors that "exaggerated the severity of the COVID-19 situation" and three that "simultaneously exaggerated and downplayed" severity, while one each was neutral or exaggerated vaccine risks.
More than half were from 2022, but nearly as many were made in the first two months of 2023 as in all of 2021, they found. Several errors were related to the agency's COVID data tracker, which failed to align with its National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and the CDC corrected at least in part 13 of the 16 errors brought to its attention.
The paper emphasizes how widely CDC errors can spread even if they are later corrected, with YouTube and Spotify linking its website on videos and podcasts that discuss COVID and the wide deference to CDC guidance in schools, businesses and healthcare facilities.
"The errors are damning," coauthor Vinay Prasad, a former National Institutes of Health fellow, said on Twitter. "Basic counts of dead kids, causes of childhood death. Unacceptable incompetence."
UCSF's Alyson Haslam, a former CDC fellow who works in Prasad's lab, made the final call on CDC errors that Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg and independent Georgia COVID analyst Kelley Krohnert collectively agreed "were indisputable and incorrect, as a matter of fact, and not preference or opinion."

WUT? Who would have guessed? 🔬😲😵🚫😷💉🐎💩
If they were “errors” then they would be equally likely to overstate as to understate the risk. OTOH if a significant majority leans one way only, then they aren’t errors, they are deliberate deceptions.
Intentional errors.
If intentional they ain’t errors.
Willful incompetence is called propaganda
Here is the paper

Those weren’t errors. And that’s not chicken.
Over a 33-year career I had to deal with several federal offices. The lack of general knowledge and specialized knowledge was almost always evident. In every case I would outline whatever the requirement or issue was. If anyone said anything I’d point out that perhaps not everyone in the room, meaning those who were not the government “subject experts” is where I was pointing out the facts.
All Covid killers get a free pass
“’Unacceptable incompetence’: CDC made dozens of basic data errors on COVID, epidemiologists find”
What! Only dozens ... Comon
In veterinary school we had a course in epidemiology. The CDC broke almost all of the rules that had been established during a disease outbreak.
My brother-in-law who is a very high ranking officer in one of our military services tried to explain to me why he was requiring all of his subordinates to be injected with the “vaccines” and all of the boosters. He would accept no excuses and there were no legitimate objections, no exemptions or any circumstances that made any difference to him. He said that people who were more qualified than he had made this decision and he had no interest at all in any discussion that questioned this.
That my friends, is the type of person that has been advanced to high levels in our officer corps these days. Formerly I was proud that he had made it to such a high level, but I basically have lost all respect for him in the past few years. We now have losers in charge who care for more about parroting woke idealism than the wellbeing of our military personnel or winning wars. He of course also said that “climate change” was the most daunting challenge that our military now faces.
They weren’t ‘errors’. They were lies made to justify illicit unthinkable actions.
Error would mean that it was a mistake, unintentional.
It’s something different when it was malicious and intentional.
They weren’t errors. They were intentional distortions.
The lowliest private is more qualified than anyone who refuses to think at all.
Battles can only be won once people like this get purged from command and replaced by people capable of original thought.
It wasn’t incompetence folks, it was planned. And they got what they wanted. The American people lost. Any person who was in the CDC during COVID should be fired immediately...
Out of control government was out of control.
if they were REAL errors, there would be fewer,
they would have been advertised and corrected,
and the bank accounts would not have increased.
these were planned conspiratorial interactions/overlooking
and perjury for genocide. AND IT WORKED.
