    Default Trump officials celebrated efforts to change CDC reports on coronavirus, emails show

    I'm sure glad we have capable and honest leadership in the CDC and the white-house and not a bunch cronies, yes men, and ass-kissers?!!

    Trump appointees in the Health and Human Services department last year privately touted their efforts to block or alter scientists’ reports on the coronavirus to more closely align with then-President Donald Trump’s more optimistic messages about the outbreak, according to newly released documents from congressional investigators.

    The documents provide further insight into how senior Trump officials approached last year’s explosion of coronavirus cases in the United States. Even as career government scientists worked to combat the virus, a cadre of Trump appointees were attempting to blunt the scientists’ messages, edit their findings and equip the president with an alternate set of talking points.

    It should come as no big surprise that team Trump wanted to control the messaging instead of simply telling the truth.

    From the OP link:

    " CDC officials this week reported that the total number of suicides dropped by 5.6 percent last year, the largest decline in four decades, surprising some officials who had warned of a spike. "
