Timothy Cunningham, 35, a CDC employee, has not been heard from since Feb. 12, police said. Police are asking the public for help finding a missing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employee who went home sick 10 days ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since. Timothy Cunningham, 35, went to work on Feb. 12 and left sick, the Atlanta Police Department said. Cunningham, who studied at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, is a commander in the Public Health Service and has been sent to respond to public health emergencies including the Ebola virus and the Zika virus, according to the CDC. The CDC in a statement called Cunningham "a highly respected member of our CDC family." Police said it's unusual for Cunningham not to contact his family. Cunningham's parents said they found his phone, wallet, car and keys, as well as his dog, at his home, reported ABC affiliate WSB in Atlanta. "It's not the type of news you want to hear," his father, Terrell Cunningham, said, reported WSB. "Thirty-five years old, but always your child. "This is an appeal to the public," Terrell Cunningham added. "We're seeking your help in bringing Tim back safe." The CDC said, "Our thoughts are with his friends and family during this difficult time." Anyone with information is urged to call 911 or the Atlanta Police Homicide/Adult Missing Persons Unit at 404-546-4235.

Health differences related to race, well, that’ll get you a lot of grants.

The article said he was afraid that the flu shot was behind the bad flu. I thought that perhaps the reporter was stating it in an alarmist way - and maybe the doctor thought that the flu shot was “responsible” for the deaths, because it was a lousy formula and not fighting the proper strain of flu this year. Not that it was actually the dose that was killing people.

But I was wrong - it WAS the dose he believed that was actually giving the people a bad enough flu sickness to kill them. (A vaccine is supposed to give one just enough of the virus in a weak form for the body to start building up its own immunity.)

From your link:

“Some of the patients I’ve administered the flu shot to this year have died,” the doctor said in January, adding “I don’t care who you are, this scares the crap out of me.”

“We have seen people dying across the country of the flu, and one thing nearly all of them have in common is they got the flu shot,” he said.

It also said that he was worried about if his name was ever attached to his earlier comments on this.

You won’t.

“The Cunninghams also sought to beat back an Internet rumor that their son was a whistle-blower who had warned about the flu shot being responsible for this year’s deadly flu season.
“I must address this issue,” his father said. “It is a lie. ... It is not factual. Hopefully, he’ll come back and be able to address that.”

He knew his family would go to his house. His parents had a key.

Good grief, man. Clam down! You are on a real tear.

Like your CNN (notorious FakeNews) article, that you posted to me, quoted the guy’s dad as saying....

....”Hopefully, he’ll come back and be able to address that.”

Until then, all bets are off.

Also, please stop posting to me. TIA.
