Not contradictory at all. You have to assess policy based on evidence. In the case of the CDC their policy is evidence based, tailored to a real problem, and is therefore good. In the case of the CIA their policy props up imperialism and hurts people and so it's bad.
If one is willing to completely ignore the CDC's continuous flip-flopping on masks etc., then covid is indeed a bad example to use for his meme. He's got a broader point though, the modern left is indeed very much aligned with the establishment, the state and, on non-economic issues, even with corporate America.
"Obey the establishment" could be the inofficial motto of the modern left. Long gone are the days when the left symbolized counter-culture; nowadays, the left's hegemony over social and cultural institutions is completely lopsided and suffocating; the state itself has in significant parts been co-opted by liberals to serve as a vehicle for their agenda.
