And the British are supposed to be experts at fudging issues. Certainly on GET the CDC appears to be leading the world on fudging.

Yes weasel words. How is that meeting the right context for “engaging with mainstream opinion” they need to set up professional meetings involving professionals who have a clue to enlighten mainstream opinion.
