Can someone explain the benefits that GOP are trying to achieve with this rule? Does the censoring somehow provide an advantage to their popularity?
At one point Trump literally suggested reducing reported Covid cases by just not testing. They genuinely think the important thing is not to talk about it.
I think it is part of making government agencies ineffective to prove their ideology that these agencies should be abolished and replaced with private companies (or not at all). That way, they can say come election time, “See? Government can’t do these things well. We should eliminate these agencies.” Many people will forget they are also the reason the agencies are shitty.
They have tried this with underfunding them in the past mostly. This is a much more direct approach.
They’re taking things out from Hungary’s (and Russia’s) playbook. Your voters cannot fault you for something they don’t know about.
Erm…no.
The order is only in effect until February 1.
I’d be curious about it if it was longer but a 1 week freeze is probably about reducing miscommunication during the gov transition.
Biden instituted a similar rule for 60 days:

Literally, calm your tits
Stopping new rules and stopping basic alerting are very different. I can see an administration wanting to review new rules. But stopping normal communication is extreme.
I’d appreciate if you could copy my response to all the places you posted your same comment. It’d save me a lot of effort.
Any advice on the best place to get truthful information in English that’s outside the US’s jurisdiction?
Trumpoxflu 25
Package may contain up to 52 bug parts and or swine flu.
Easy!
What historic disease do y’all plan on catching in the new post-medicine era? Consumption looking hot this time of year!
Kansas currently has an outbreak of drug resistant TB.
There’s also the possibility of pulling coverage of PREP/doxy/other medications designed to prevent STIs from insurance coverage. This would devastate the gay community, which is why they would do it.
I’ve been watching this really interesting older docuseries about an illegal alien who was adopted by a Kansan farmer. It really highlights the lengths the rich will go to when they feel justified in their own actions. Makes me wonder if this new TB strain isn’t just the newest bio-weapon introduced by the state’s leading plutocrat.
Is there a non profit that can take over? Or a state(s) agency that can help out?
Just because the federal government decides they don’t want to do a thing doesn’t mean states can’t do it (or heck local community).
California would likely be all over it. As much as I don’t care for Newsom, he really doesn’t like Trump, so I call that a win.
Can’t have a crisis if we don’t call it a crisis.
Special Health Exercise
Three days tops.
Smith was intelligent though
It’s up to individuals talking and posting about who’s trustworthy.
Even before this, The People’s CDC was doing better work than the regular CDC on covid. This and other stuff like it is what will guide us.
Funding is still an issue, but trust is something we maintain ourselves by individuals paying attention and speaking honestly.
I don’t understand this perspective at all.
The CDC did what they could with the information they had at the time. Yes, the pandemic was bad, but it was a pandemic. No shit it was bad. Could the CDC have handled it better? Sure. But could you imagine how much worse it would have been without it?
I don’t want to listen to some uneducated, non-accredited assholes on the internet telling me to eat horse dewormer, thanks. I’ll take the scientists who studied and are experienced in disease and pathology.
To add to other responses… What did the people’s CDC do better than the CDC?
well, I hope we don’t end up having a global lockdown again, but if we do, I’ll be sure to call it the America Pox or Trump Flu or something polemic
