I did not see the CDC credit Dr. Lott with the correction.

This thing is hard to read!!

It looks like plain, simple, English to me.

What is your native language?

So this means my guns are even more unlikely to intentionally inflict harm to anyone, right?

A 25% overrun error. OOPS. D’oh!

Without a doubt it was intentional. Without a doubt.

Bureaucratic Statisticians hate to admit they made mistakes.

Fake Statistics! It seems as if the CDC is overlooking an increase in fakeness among the eggheads and media. I would say it almost seems like the plague - carried by ‘Rats.

My guns (and yours) are owed an apology from the CDC. My little darlings have been inconsolable since the initial data came out...crying, gnashing their teeth.

When should we expect said apology?

How many ‘mistakes’ does the CDC make other than those that support liberal positions?

Same with ‘global warming’... all the ‘mistakes’ support liberals.

That the correction crossed the boundary of a presidential election is intriguing. It is not proof of institutional bias, but may be an indicator. President Obama was resolutely against an armed population. President Trump has openly supported an armed population.

...

One president is corrupt the other one isn’t.

Interesting that data errors ALWAYS favor The Agenda.

Why do you suppose that is, hmmmm?

How many mistajes does tge CDC make in their reporting? Good question. Since they are scientists over there, and would not routinely make errors. They wouldnt take years to corrct tgem either.

They used to publish data on the incidence of breast cancer among pharmaceutical birth control (BCP) users. No more. They used to list BCPs as first class carcinogen - up there with cigarettes. They don’t publish this any more.

They used to publish data on the number of estimated fetal deaths resulting from BCPs. It brings the estimated abortion deaths way above the 55,000,000 since 1973. They don’t publish it any more.

The primary goal of a bureaucrat is to get to a cushy retirement. Being honest, having integrity , working without bias and even working are concepts foreign to most of these parasites.

Why is CDC even collecting gun-related data? Guns are not a DISEASE. The data needs to be collected but best by who or whom?

Hmmm, do such "errors" occur that might lower the rate per 100,000?

What are the CDC's protocols for quality control and also for data corrections?

Don’t worry. They’ve understated the dangerous infectious diseases the
sub saharan migrant/vagrant population is introducing here by 25% to
even it up.

Firearms are not some type of disease. The CDC should not be researching or investigating firearms.

I am really upset that I have watched over the past few decades all sorts of things from mental illness, alcohol and drug addiction, to firearms being classified as diseases. This is the attempt to get citizens to believe the people involved have no choice, like catching a cold, so they can blame someone or something else for their problems while continuing their destructive behavior.

It also allows for doctors to put their noses into areas, such as politics, where they don’t belong and are mostly not trained.

“It is not clear how the error occurred.”

Easy. Obama was president. Everything was corrupted.

No kidding, then I looked at the author. Dean Weingarten commits another felony for poor communication skills. Wonder what he did before he decided he was a writer.
