The CDC is joking about mass infection, and still are not recommending masks. This is NOT how to do effective science communication.

It's outrageous that the CDC is using a Black person to represent viruses in this meme.

Memes can be effective tools in science communication, but only when they are inclusive and empowering, not when they stigmatize or make fun of a harmful situation. This is not acceptable, @cdcgov!

CDC are sociopaths, and at this point are just messing with us. The masks have come off, so to speak.

@cdcgov @luckytran See header block, that's a blind-replication account.
