The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) met with executives from Big Tech companies in an effort to cut down on narratives deemed by officials as COVID-19 misinformation, according to newly released emails.

The CDC hosted meetings on May 14 and May 28 in 2021, with slides outlining what the government agency described as false or misleading narratives about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines, according to the emails, which were obtained by America First Legal.
