In the face of official deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. The CDC published, then pulled, guidance that the coronavirus commonly spreads via aerosols. (Which is absolutely supported by the science.)

Left: Friday's update
Right: Today's coverup
Friday's change was hailed among researchers as a major step forward in figuring out _effective responses_ to the pandemic.

Monday's cover-up is, therefore, a major step backwards. It's unconscionable. It's dangerous. And it's going to get (more) people killed.
Here's the web page in question. Sadly, http://web.archive.org  didn't scrape the Friday update (somebody really needs to crank up the scrape rate for CDC sites to 2x/day).

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-covid-spreads.html

Right now it contains a banner saying the Friday update was "posted in error".🙄
Right now, there are schools where teachers are forbidden from trying to increase ventilation, because the CDC hasn't updated its guidance to match the science. The teachers know what they need to do but are hamstrung by outdated health guidance.
This needs a full investigation and somebody needs to be fired; but more importantly, the true information needs to be leaked and sent to every health department in the country right now. Because they're not getting it from the CDC today. /end
