WTF is This About a Gag Order?

[OhioChick]

Everything in regard to COVID-19 has to go through Pence first?

Is this the "smoking does not kill" and "conversation therapy works" and his handling of the HIV outbreak in Indiana, Pence?

He doesn't even hold any type of medical degree.

is going on in this Country?

3. It is because of one guy at the presser saying vaccines would take a year or year/half to produce.

Trump had just said they were moving forward and would be ready in a short time...something like that.

The King got corrected and he didn't like it.

4. Leading expert isn't allowed to say anything about COVID-19 that hasn't been cleared

by Pence (or the administration).

But perhaps most important was the Times' report that Pence hopes to prevent the contradictory statements about the crisis that have emanated from the White House in recent days.

The vice president's first move appeared to be aimed at preventing the kind of contradictory statements from White House officials and top government health officials that have plagued the administration's response.... Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country's leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance.

7. The people who actually know what's going on need to ignore that nonsense
