“That’s particularly true of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In theory, the prevention of diseases like this one is the agency’s entire reason d’être. It is right there in its name “Disease Control.” Its mission statement page also makes the centrality of this goal clear. It states as its priority “confronting global disease threats through advanced computing and lab analysis of huge amounts of data to quickly find solutions.”
If there ever was an “epic fail”, this is it.
CDC is way off mission, spending money on global warming and gun control, rather than PPE, ventilators, and HCQ.
They’ll blame Trump and lack of funds, and get away with it.
This is one of the few instances of a crisis that should not go to waste.
