Those who think the CDC has done way too much because the virus was overly-exaggerated are simply wrong. I have my quibbles with the CDC, especially early reactions and subsequent messaging. I don't think people who say it exaggerated the threat have any evidence in their column. For data, I'd say look around, see India, see 500,000+ dead Americans, and the latter in the context of at least some efforts to contain the virus.

The headline is fine, those who are enraged at the CDC probably should be, it failed us in so many ways, though probably gets a little too much of the blame. Those who are enraged because it did too much? Those people don't deserve consideration at this stage given the fairly obvious science.

Perhaps the CDC did too much that was ineffective or counterproductive and too little that was effective. It's possible for both sides to be right, and not terribly far-fetched, honestly.

In 2020 more US Americans have died of Covid than Malaria globally. It sounds absurd.
