A trustworthy election system must be robust against human error, machine error, and exploitation. Analysis of Shasta County’s audit logs from the 2024 March Primary leaves more questions than answers.
The CDC, unlike other major agencies, has never received full Congressional authorization. There is no single enabling statute that defines the agency’s overall mission and structure. The lack of authorization has blurred the lines on the agency’s responsibilities to lead on issues related to communicable disease, resulted in rampant mission creep, and has led many to question whether the CDC is able to execute on its intended and primary mission of detecting and combatting public health threats, as evidenced by the CDC’s botched handling of the COVID-19 response.

The CDC’s failures to update recommendations and guidance, given new information was repeated locally, the messaging being only, “get vaccinated, keep boosting.”
