Maybe if the CDC controlled diseases instead of being a bunch of overpaid liberal tools, Acute Flaccid Myelitis wouldn’t be killing kids.
Do you believe that the CDC isn’t addressing Acute Flaccid Myelitis?
I believe that they are not fully involved, yes.
If their effort is directed at anything except curing communicable disease, then they are not concentrating on it, they are just making a half-assed attempt.
I suspect your concern is actually that you don’t want them addressing gun violence as a public health issue, doubting their ability to maintain objectivity relative to a gun control position despite the Dickey Amendment. Whether true or not, there’s no evidence to confirm that that activity plays any role in impairing their ability to address communicable disease, including Acute Flaccid Myelitis.
This ‘polio like’ disease has been making news in CO for years, and four years into it the CDC forms a task force on it. Yeah, govt. Sure, making a comment of research on this versus guns would be odd in a general conversation, on a gun forum I can see it. The CDC has been making noise for 20+ years about researching gun violence. Considering that there was a disease, which is actually in their lane, has just now seemed to get their attention in a serious way, in contrast to them complaining in the press about funding for gun violence research- you can make a point. Not the strongest point, but considering the BS stuff on FB that gets big upvotes, I don’t think it is crazy.
So when does the CDC weigh in on gang activity and the related culture of violence as a health issue?
When do they address the health issues related to extremist political activism?
When are they going to finally get around to pointing out the direct parallels of those who advocate Marxism with those who have mental disorders?
Maybe the Center for Disease Control could admit to all the long forgotten diseases that are being reintroduced into the United States from uncontrolled illegal immigration instead of spending resources on a gun debate. David
Actually, brain dead progressive parents are enough to keep the CDC going because of low vax rates.
When is the CDC going to do something about teenagers, smart phones, and motor vehicle fatalities?
DoJ/FBI data show that more Americans are murdered with blunt instruments (baseball bats, hammer, tire tools, etc.) than modern semi-automatic sporting rifles, when will the CDC do something about all those blunt instruments?
When are they going to address Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Really?:rolleyes: How about the study that shows people with mental disorders often talk to god often are violent?
Only the people that believe God replies to them coversationally have mental disorders.
We have believed in a higher power (or powers) since the dawn of time.

But less so as we find science increasingly explaining the mysteries of the physical world which in previous eons we had to ascribe to a magical being.
Not trying to start an argument. Myself, I always go back to who made those original atoms that started it all. Good enough for my simple self.
I’m confident that someday in some future eon, humanity will understand the answer to that question, if we’re still around. I don’t know who or what will explain it to us.
You are, of course, correct. For example, science is on the cusp of proving the Big Bang theory, which describes an empty universe prior to an event that distributed matter to fill that emptiness from a single point.
It’s aptly described here:
“First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don’t see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.”
How could we describe the creation of the universe when a man or woman put pen to paper and wrote Genesis?
I am not a devoutly religious or even well versed in religion, but I know enough to make we wonder.

We all wonder. Different people look in different places for those answers.
The bible is not an owners manual to the universe(s), and how boring it would be if God kept showing up in labs with spoilers.
I always arrive at…if everything needs a creator, who created the creator? And if the creator can be eternal and without beginning then so can the singularity or whatever we want to call the beginning of the universe. Having a creator simply relocates the question.
You so hilariously have the wrong guy.
