CDC: Center for Deception Control and Truth Prevention in Schools
BY NICK ROGERS
STATEWIDE - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has partnered with middle/high school teachers around the country participating in its Science Ambassador Program to create a new curriculum focused on viral outbreaks and disease prevention. The interactive classroom material, dubbed “Operation Outbreak,” is supplemented by a graphic novel titled “The Junior Disease Detectives.” While proponents of the activity (like co-sponsor 4-H) present the program as a hip way to engage teens in the important subject of public health, detractors call the ploy little more than “grooming kids for the next scamdemic.”
“Step-by-step instructions guide teachers through a problem-based activity aligned with national standards,” says Operation Outbreak’s summary materials.
Each of the program’s three activities – all of which come with specific questions and an answer key – are in direct reference to the graphic novel (the cover of which looks eerily like that of the popular television show Stranger Things). The CDC’s angle is clear: glorify CDC employees as heroic, sleuthy detectives (such as the Epidemic Intelligence Service [EIS] officers prominently featured) and portray the teenage characters as precocious go-getters with dreams of one day joining the honorable CDC ranks.
A couple pages into the comic and one of the teens, Eddie (*spoiler alert* Eddie ends up contracting a dreaded novel variant zoonotic flu virus from his beloved pig, Hamlet), is wowing his 4-H buddies with an on-the-spot story of his alter-ego “Germ Slayer,” a super hero who, you guessed it, slays germs (and later in the comic saves his own life by imagining the Germ Slayer finding “the cure” in a CDC vault while his actual self is in a coma). Makes perfect sense, right?
Dr. Michelle Perro, a pediatrician who focuses on the danger of GMO food, stated that Operation Outbreak’s goals “…appear to be a well-intentioned educational effort under the One Health framework.” However, “…a closer examination suggests it may also serve to acclimate students to compliance during future public health crises.”
She continued, “By emphasizing the inevitability of ‘the next pandemic’ and reinforcing a specific perspective on zoonotic transmission, these materials can condition naive minds to accept certain public health policies without room for opposing discussions. This initiative prioritizes messaging over genuine scientific inquiry.”
Dr. Margaret Christensen, much more to the point, called the materials “propaganda” that, she says, “…groom the younger generation early to believe our biggest threat is from some disease jumping out of an animal, whether birds or cows or pigs, and attacking us without defense, unless we’ve been vaccinated.”
Attorney Sheri Snow Powers said, “These materials are inappropriate for teenagers and children because they promote and idolize public health authorities as heroes and saviors. This is detrimental to young developing minds and conditions children to be future compliant citizens.”
The CDC’s card played should be no surprise to those with a cursory knowledge of how power structures target youth as a key pilar of their long-term propagandistic goals (often through repetitive, trauma-based mind-control tactics). Schools, as the place a child spends the most time away from his/her parents, are the ripest place to inflict, err, instill these ideas.
The CDC’s choice to repetitively use the phrase “disease detective” highlights their attempt to present a cool, accessible theme for kids (like the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew), not unlike the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)’s “Spy Kids” tactic. This theme is as much about normalizing and idolizing agencies with a relentlessly criminal past than anything else. And the superhero angle may remind some of a particularly nauseating ad from Pfizer.
For those of us who were jarred “awake” by the rapidly unfolding propaganda and draconian measures taken in the wake of the Covid-19 event, shielding our kids from the CDC’s latest trick may be a relatively straightforward task (obviously, finding out if your child’s school has adopted this program is the first step). And for those aware of how predictive programming works, Operation Outbreak paints a foreboding picture of the future where pandemics are inevitable. If Event 201 – a tabletop exercise hosted by Johns Hopkins University in 2019 which eerily foreshadowed the coming pandemic and government clamp-down – taught us anything, these power structure plays are planned well in advance, but the propaganda presented to the public often comes soon before the real thing “goes live.”
