Good. Name one disease the CDC has prevented. Name one patient the CDC cured. The CDC is nothing but another unnecessary bloated bureaucracy that only exists for the purpose of furthering its own existence.

Who do you think figures out whenever there is a multi-state food poisoning incident and puts a stop to it? Who do you think collects disease data and figures out there is a problem, such as the current EV68 outbreak spreading across several states? Who do you think comes and does the epidemiological investigation for unusual diseases and tracks down where the diseases originate so they can be stopped at their sources?

The CDC plays a crucial role in public health. Without it acting as a central clearing house for disease data, many outbreaks would never be noticed, and countless people would die.

Try reading the MMWR every week, like I do. Maybe then you will learn a little something about the function of the CDC.
