@SandHillThicket becuase you are unhappy with one or a few things the CDC does or does not do well, doesn't negate the overall positive influence they bring in other areas.
Though it is a challenge to see the bigger picture these days, we would all do better to not judge so flippantly.
@SandHillThicket they have done things well, though it is likely no matter how much evidence I could provide, I doubt your opinion will change. But on the off chance youre willing to take in new information, found this in 8 seconds of googling.

@Idrake They haven't done anything well in five years. What makes you think they'll do well in the next five years. They've gone downhill.
