With the double face palm.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.

Local Government is infected with a lot of Tea Party types who have gotten involved over the last 15 years. They hate Government so they get elected to tear it all down from the inside out.

this "doctor" uses this video withe the CDC logo underneath it so it appears to be promoted by CDC. But it is not. just some good propaganda.

... copies of the video, or videos that repeat the false claim, remain live on the platform as of this writing. Many of the videos contain the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), potentially giving the false impression that the information was sourced from the government agency on the front lines of battling the disease.
