The CDC Wants More Money to Eradicate ... Your Rights

Pandemics, people. Pandemics.

Do you not see the utility in having a centralized database tracking disease vectors or having an agency that can organize a rapid response to same?

Do you not see that your fear mongering and gas lighting is not working?

I found out what a sham the CDC was twenty years ago when the local news channel in Atlanta went inside with hidden cameras and exposed what a shit show their operation was.

They can't organize a rapid response, CDC is completely useless in the operational sense, they would be totally reliant on the Pentagon to deal with a crisis in the field, and the Pentagon already has their own "CDC" at Ft. Detrick, the CDC is just a vastly inferior duplication of what already exists in house at DoD.

I believe you will find so-called "pandemics" are in fact Fake News. All the deaths the disease-mongers attribute to the Swine Flu were clearly just cases of severe bullet poisoning from being in the midst of WWI, and the Americas were depopulated of their native peoples obviously because aliens just came down and whisked them away so the Europeans could come in and develop the place properly, as was their divine right.

IIRC they perform different functions and would work together in a crisis, along with private companies.

The US is the only country in the world which wastes money on having two of these organizations to do the same job, every other country in the world picks one or the other, either you have a CDC model, like Health Canada does at Winnipeg, or you have a USAMRIID model, like the British DSTI at Porton Down, but to have two, one of each, is a complete waste of resources.

USAMRIID is one stop shopping, the pathogen response force is all in situ at the Pentagon, CDC is just a liberal Democrat boondoggle entrenched interest, to be used for ideological pet projects such as researching gun violence as a "pathogen", which the Pentagon rightly wouldn't waste a second not a dollar on.

The Pentagon can work with the contractors, no need for the CDC, it's just a liberal public sector entrenched interest, because liberals would rather fund the non-military public sector because that is their ideological base and political tribe, who knew?

[Smitty-48]

The "different function" here is obvious, the Pentagon would never expend resources on researching "gun violence" as a "pathogen" just to prop up a liberal Democrat party gun grabber narrative, but the CDC can be hijacked for such ideological games, and that's why liberals want the CDC, because they can fill its ranks with ideological public sector unionized fellow travelers, where the Pentagon never would.

I've changed my mind. Nothing even close to a legitimate argument that CDC provides a public good has been forwarded.

Like Smits says, USAMRIID can cover things, as far as I can see. If we're going to have a standing army, at least they can work on things that will keep us from being killed, whether by some virus or the filthy mongols.

Sorry, pork addicts, CDC goes the way of the Dept. of Education and all the rest, right down the shithole.

How does it make sense to put a nonmilitary organization under military control? If you're telling me our system is redundant then I will take your word for it, but that would still leave the CDC as the logical organization.

And mental illness is most definitely worthy of research. Number 10 on the CDC 's list of causes of death is suicide. Number 1 is heart disease, and only cancer even comes close. Is the Pentagon researching heart disease?

Where is the authority for the federal government to research mental illness?

I'll wait for your citation.
