With the CDC flipping back and forth about what they publish as facts, they just revealed that their guidelines regarding the coronavirus airborne transmission were wrongs.
CDC Caught Red Handed
On Monday morning, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention sneakily changed its web page on how it describes how the coronavirus spreads.
In a third major revision just since May, the CDC added that it was “possible” that it spreads through airborne transmission.
While the American people have been continuously told that the virus cannot be transmitted over six feet, the agency now is trying to say that it can go beyond the six feet.
The CDC did not make mention of their huge language change and it was only found out through news reports that caught onto the change.

Fake News and Fake Experts
With experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci completely contradicting themselves, many Republicans are weary to listen to anything left-leaning doctors and scientists say.
The agency has been saying that the coronavirus mainly is transferred through large drops that are transmitted at close range, as of Friday it is claiming that it involves “small particles, such as those in aerosols.”
But Jay Butler, the CDC’s deputy director for infectious disease, said the Friday update was posted in error. “Unfortunately an early draft of a revision went up without any technical review,” he said.
What is the Truth?
“We are returning to the earlier version and revisiting that process,” Butler said. “It was a failure of process at CDC.”
It was a “major change,” Jose-Luis Jimenez, a chemistry professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder who studies how aerosols spread the virus, told The Washington Post before the CDC reversed itself. “This is a good thing, if we can reduce transmission because more people understand how it is spreading and know what to do to stop it.”
So what really is the truth about COVID-19? We may never truly know.
