Perky CDC Director Mandy Cohen seems to have been picked for the job based on her communications skills, though she does have a bunch of letters after her name. And while the delivery is better, the message is the same.
With elevated cases of Flu, RSV, and even Pneumonia, the CDC wants you to know that you should do what you’ve always done to protect yourself, where “Always” means since mid-2020, and where “protection” means those things that didn’t work.
Masks were a fail. The Shots made things worse. But here we are, so this message is for those still not paying attention because the rest of us can’t believe it.

COVID and flu vaccines, masking, and staying home if you are sick. The last one is the only one we’ve always done, so credit where due, but without knowing whether cases of this, that, or the other thing are up – well, they should be. It is almost winter. That’s also something we’ve always done. And I understand that Perky Mandy must do her Public Service Announcements. Pfizer money doesn’t launder itself. And maybe she’s just another useful idiot.
A perky, useful idiot. The CDC Glee Club president. The vaccine cheerleader. This is the program. It may have resulted in millions of unnecessary deaths worldwide, but much like socialism, if we keep trying, it will eventually work. Get vaccinated. Obstruct your airway. Again, with the understanding that we do not know what they mean by “work,” but we have our suspicions.
