This is how the divide happens. One side latches onto a catch-phrase, and refuses to let go of it even when the rest of the world has moved on to actual facts. "The CDC lies", said the guy who wanted your attention. Who among you chose to accept THIS as fact, and refuses to let it go even in the face of contradictory information? Who among you will choose to believe that anything the CDC says to you is a lie? Or will you only believe it when it's convenient, when "lie" fits your agenda, or the agenda of whoever is feeding you the phrase?
Some people are incapable of seeing that the CDC is not a singular person, it is made up of thousands of people, any of whom might come out and tell the truth in the face of a lie. That hasn't happened. An entire organization of thousands of scientists and doctors and researchers that exists to keep Americans healthy, have NOT conspired against you, or against any political group.
They are doing the best they can with what they're given, about a virus that hasn't ever existed before. Virii have existed before, and even other Coronavirii have existed before. It is because they have at least SOME familiarity with the science, that this hasn't become the plague of the 21st century.
Put all your faith in them? No of course not. They are not without flaws. But put enough faith in them that when they say "as of the present moment, THIS is what we know?" Absolutely. They might not know what things will be tomorrow. But when they say "this is what it is today" you can believe them.
