Like the Mass Media they “censor” even the official bodies. The USA Today case
In America, censorship has been seen in action, in its natural state, even applied to official communications from the CDC, the US center for epidemic control.
As readers of Scenari know, the CDC has decided to recommend an obligation to wear masks indoors, an indication that is extended to both vaccinated and unvaccinated.
The extent of this obligation is explained quite well:
" Vaccinated individuals could have higher levels of virus and infect others amid the surge of cases driven by the delta variant "
" Vaccinated individuals may have higher levels of the virus and infect others amid the spate of delta-led cases "
So the CDC confirms that vaccinated people have the ability to infect, indeed they may, in some cases, have higher viral values. In a first version of the USA Today news, the popular newspaper very widespread in the USA, had correctly reported the words taking them from NBC News

Well good, .. but no … After some time USA Today makes a nice correction: in addition to making the reference to NBC disappear, it radically changes the meaning of the text. Here is the new version :
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Tuesday that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors in high transmission areas"
In addition to NBC, the mention of the highest possible viral load for vaccinated people has also disappeared. Not secondary information, even important, indeed essential, which has disappeared. Now we can think of two things:
- that NBC misreported the press conference so the mention of NBC disappeared and the sentence was corrected;
- that USA Today wanted to censor the same sentence because it puts the vaccinated in a bad light, who could have a high viral load, and therefore discourages vaccinations.
Even the most widely read mass media now delete sentences without any justification. It is censored, in order not to go against the wishes of power.
