CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson alleges that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are falsifying data, and recently admitted that at least three cases of novel coronavirus infection have been misdiagnosed. The New York Times quotes him as saying that a total of six people have been infected, all of whom came down with the infection after recently traveling abroad. Some 1,000 to 1,200 cases are suspected of having been wrongly diagnosed, and no deaths have been reported.

Four months ago, Federal Judge Gladys Kessler appointed a special master to look into the issue and determine whether or not any laws have been broken in connection with a lack of transparency with regard to the number of people who have contracted the novel coronavirus in the United States and the extent to which our nation’s CDC has handled the crisis.

In his initial report, special master Peter Hooper revealed that there is “no explicit evidence that the CDC intentionally falsified the CDC guidelines for reporting new infections.” However, he also noted that CDC Director Tom Frieden has repeatedly and falsely claimed the agency “has been transparent in all of our decisions.”

CDC claims it believes all known cases of the novel coronavirus are tangentially related to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) virus, the same group which is circulating in the Middle East. But the numbers just keep coming: Excess cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome due to novel coronavirus continue to mount.

However, the WHO says the CDC has shown more than 15 data points contradicting the CDC’s belief. The agency has been a key player in the control of MERS and it has consistently downplayed the risk of the disease and its patient-to-patient transmission.

“The CDC team, including senior officials, kept quiet from the outset the staggering number of cases,” stated the WHO reports.

A CDC official on Monday told reporters that the number of people who were sickened by the newly identified novel coronavirus in the U.S. was “far lower” than feared.

Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, used the example of the virus’ discovery by Dr. Bruce Aylward, who has since died, who was the first person to report having caught the virus.

“We think we’ve identified at least 60 cases of CVD and about a dozen deaths. We estimate that we know of about 250 cases, but we don’t have the full picture yet.”

“Last night I spoke with the new senior CDC public health official, and she confirmed that the CDC is suppressing the number of people who have died from the novel coronavirus, in an attempt to prevent being publicly linked with the death of four Americans on American soil.” Claims Dr. Kent Brantly, a researcher who previously dealt with the Ebola outbreak in 2014

“Apparently the CDC has our names and contact information as well as their travel records in an Excel spreadsheet, which is being used to suppress our works being discussed in mainstream news, a website, an academic paper, and even a science conference.”

The scant evidence offers little hope that a congressional hearing or regulatory proceeding will find that the CDC is systematically suppressing the number of cases of novel coronavirus infection among both healthcare workers and the general population.

Not only has there not been any action on the matter; despite the CDC’s assurances that it will investigate itself, the actual number of actual cases will not be known for several more months. It is likely, however, that this gross negligence by the CDC in the case of Ebola is fully endorsed by Washington.
