"The CDC failed us" according to Mehmet Oz

He just said on FAUX that the US has 4% of the population and 19% of the deaths from Covid. So the CDC failed us.

Personally, I agree with Thor Benson on bluesky who said "I think it was the guy who was running the country. Whoever that was."

Oh, and Oz also agrees with the whackjob in FLA who wants to end mandated vaccines.

CDC: Wear masks and get vaccinated

Rethugs: (To themselves): Hey liberals are on board with this so we must, as always, divide and conquer and come out HARD against this!
(To their voters): This is tyranny and government oppression. FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rethug voters: *Basically commit suicide by ignoring medical experts and die in droves to prove a point that libtards won't control their lives, and in the process take a hell of a lot of innocent Dems and Indies that they infected with them.*

Oz: The CDC has failed this.
