Did Kellyanne Conway Edit CDC COVID Guidelines, Possibly Jeopardizing Human Lives?

.

Ahead of a hearing of the House Select Subcommittee On The Coronavirus Crisis, Rep. Jim Clyburn released new evidence that Kellyanne Conway approved of and edited CDC guidelines for churches and houses of worship.

The subcommittee detailed its evidence in a press release provided to PoliticusUSA:

In the morning of May 21, 2020, the day before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released public health recommendations for faith communities, Trump White House officials made edits to the guidance with no scientific basis. In an email to senior White House officials released today by the Select Subcommittee, Associate White House Counsel May Davis referred to the previous iteration of CDC’s faith-communities guidance as “problematic,” and proposed changes “on top of Kellyanne edits,” referring to former Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway.

According to Ms. Davis, these edits “remove[d] tele-church suggestions” from the guidance. The recommendation to attend virtual religious services did not appear in the final guidance.

They told us in high school that this kind of crap couldn't happen here, the way it did in the USSR with Chernobyl--where party hacks started making engineering decisions in a nuclear plant. How much does anyone want to bet that in the next few years, a whole lot of books are going to come out with details of how things were way worse than our worst nightmares?!
