(CBN News) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention faces renewed criticism for its handling of COVID-19 pandemic guidance and information. This follows a New York Times article raising numerous questions, asking why the health agency has withheld or delayed releasing information to the public.
The areas of this withheld information include COVID-19 hospitalization data including age, race, and vaccination status, as well as information about the efficacy of booster vaccines among people ages 18 to 49, the group least likely to benefit from the shots.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the CDC reportedly has also possessed data from some states and cities detailing the amount of coronavirus in wastewater but only recently began making that information available to the general public.
