I don't trust the CDC at all. ok some but no where near 100%, the CDC is the one that puts out all the lovely info sheets the docs are suppose to give you yet they don't list many of the warnings that the drug companies themselves admit to. If you read the package insert its much different then the CDC handout! |

Children: Nichole | Re: CDC: U.S. Seeing Worst Measles Outbreak In 6 Years | | lol it sounds funny I know. She is not allergic to water though, just tap water. Not sure why or what. We think flouride since it is added to almost all city water. Might be the chlorine or other dozen or so chemicals that add. OR the metals for that matter. Its not just our cities water either its all tap watr from many cities (different sources0
she has to have bottled water to drink or cook with. Can't get her a sprite or lemonaid from McDonalds since it also is made with city water.
Its just funny to say she is allergic to water |

THey are not unbiased | The CDC gets its funding from the federal government and is included in the presidential budget proposal for each fiscal year. Here's a link to a CDC factsheet on the 2007 budget proposal: link. And another about the last 2 CDC budgets: link.
You've said this before about the CDC. What percentage of its funding do you think is from drug companies and what is your source? I'm no fan of drug companies (that's a major understatement), but I don't know what you are referring to. |

Children: Nichole | Re: CDC: U.S. Seeing Worst Measles Outbreak In 6 Years | | well heres an interesting article that has quite a few links between the government and the pharmaceutical companies.
Its kinda like the Perry thing in Texas. NOt usre how much nationla coverage this got (as I live in Texas) Perry passed the law stating that ALL girls entering 6th grade must have a HPV vaccine. He did not run this by anyone, just passed it. It came under fire because well no one was very happy with this decision not being put to a vote and so on. Perry had HUGE ties to the pharm. company. THey contributed a ton of money (don't remember and don't have to time to look it up lol) but a ton of money to his campaign.
Teh CDC seems to be paying the pharm. companies. They are so intertwined that neither one can be trusted i nmy opinion. |
