CDC: Lying? Or "Distorting"?

There is a 'scientific' part of CDC, but you only hear from the Fascist part.

So when CDC emits a nauseatingly-gaseous 'warning' about little children getting Covid, you can bet it's not from the 'science' group.

...The CDC's portrayal of a severe pediatric COVID study led by one of its Atlanta-based researchers is "really misleading," a Stanford Medical School professor told Just the News.

Before COVID vaccines were "approved for most children, nearly 1 in 3 of 2,200+ children hospitalized w/ COVID-19 were admitted to the ICU or put on a ventilator," the agency tweeted Jan. 31, recommending vaccines for children 5 and up and boosters for 12 and up....

Conveniently, most of the study quoted by the Fascist part of CDC is behind a paywall.  But some foks went there anyway.

...The CDC's tweet drew immediate criticism on Twitter for mischaracterizing the study, which is about a hospitalized subset with "extremely high existing risk ratios," according to Matt Shapiro, an occasional writer for National Review. The biggest COVID risk factors it identified included chronic lung disease, neurological disorders and "airway abnormality."...

IOW, those children were comparable to adults with high blood pressure, COPD, or severe overweight issues:  they were in grave risk even without Covid.

 ...The CDC's tweet falsely leads parents to think "1/3rd of all kids who get COVID before the vax ... will be hospitalized and have severe disease," he wrote in an email. "The randomized trials in kids did not establish that vax prevents severe disease in children. The CDC’s assertion that it does is not based on the randomized trial evidence."...

IIRC, the CDC's referenced "study" was quoted by a Froedtert pediatrician yesterday on WISN--and that pediatrician did NOT mention the criticism from a Stanford prof.  Surprised?

So is it "lying" or is it "distortion"?

You know the answer.
