But, they should be though, right? Isn't that the goal? The fact that we have multiple captured agencies shouldn't prevent us from striving to compel the gov't to do the 'right thing'.

We're getting into politics here but I guess they should. They never have that I am aware of.

I think it's incredibly dangerous to operate under the assumption that the government is there to "do the right thing".

Bureaucratic agencies original mission may have been good but in short order their primary motivator is to survive. Keep their budget, serve their powerful political masters etc.

Their powerful political masters are motivated to keep being powerful.

They occasionally do a solid for the constituency when it's convenient for them but that's just pandering, your welfare and mine make zero fucks to the CDC, IRS, FBI, CIA etc etc etc. They have all been weaponized at some point or another by politicians.

Back around to COVID...that's why the boosters or antidote or whatever they come up with is going to be so interesting. You won't have just the usual anti vax crowd leery of trusting the government to tell them what they must put in their bodies.

Dr Fauci Debunks Low Covid Death Numbers

“That does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of Covid didn’t die of Covid-19. They did,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told GMA. “So the numbers you’ve been hearing -- there are 180,000-plus deaths -- are real deaths from Covid-19. Let (there) not be any confusion about that.”

“It’s not 9,000 deaths from Covid-19, it’s 180-plus-thousand deaths,” Fauci said.

I suppose those in hospice were just waiting to catch COVID so they could actually go ahead and die.
