Sorry Lando, fema and nuclear energy have nothing to do with cdc. Completely different entities. I think you’ve moved the goalposts a tiny bit. I have no idea who the “hhs leader that was pretending to be a man “ is or was, and I’ve worked for hhs (nih, not cdc) for the past 25 years. My best guess is this was an hhs employee who made some noise, but was not a hhs leader, especially during the Covid pandemic. CDC for the past 50 years has been considered the gold standard for epidemiology and public health throughout the world. It was well run. If you have friends or acquaintances who work in infectious disease, ask them about cdc reputation prior to Covid. They made one serious error during Covid pandemic — diagnostic kits were faulty. All other errors during the Covid pandemic were due to being overly cautious during a novel pandemic. It’s hard for me to score them overly hard for trying to save lives when it was unclear how lethal this virus was. In retrospect, yes, masking, social distancing, etc were probably too stringent. But in real-time, CDC was thinking of Covid in the context of two other 21st century new corona viruses, SARS and MERS, both with mortality rates of 10-40%. Go Bills!

Hi Lando, I think you have a couple of misconceptions on how the CDC works. 1) Vaccine recommendations have historically been set by the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP). this committee has historically been composed of true experts on vaccines, including pediatricians, immunologists, infectious disease physicians. They generally have at least 20 years experience post graduate or medical schools, and are highly respected full professors at academic medical centers. Here is the list from the 2019 Trump administration, so nothing to do with Biden administration. https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/vaccines/acip/committee/members-archive/members-2018-oct-2019-jun.html Contrast that list with the misfits appointed by RFK, only one (Meissner) has a current academic appointment and could be considered an ID/vaccine expert. https://www.cdc.gov/acip/membership/roster.html So these arent CDC employees sitting in an ivory tower; historically, ACIP has consisted of true experts. 2) I have no doubt that some CDC employees are true pencil pushers who never leave Atlanta. But other CDC employees are boots-on-the-ground epidemiologists, who are among the first experts at an outbreak scene, whether a cluster of lead poisoning in Wisconsin, or Ebola in Liberia. So not just textbook understanding. All of this is in flux as RFKjr and Trump proceed to destroy American health care research.

Not sure how you can say he’s not a #1. Not today, sure. But later this year or next? He does have potential.

On Henry’s 50 yd run Milano had him in the hole but slid off. We need to do something different next meeting to stop Henry. We were lucky tonight.

Fields =/= Jackson

I was at that game. Gabe turned the wrong way in the end zone in OT. That would have been the game

Can’t say it was better than a 35-3 comeback. But this Ravens team is far better than that Oiler team. In retrospect, Ravens should have gone for it on 4th and 3

Don’t overthink it try to score. Never depend on a kicker. Never.

Never chase points before the 4th Q. Never.

I’m thinking nfl will be apologizing for a bad call this week. Not that it’s helpful now.

I thought if receiver established himself back in bounds that he was ok?

Do your numbers come from the real CDC -- pre-2025 -- or from the Trump / Kennedy CDC? Obviously, the Kennedy CDC numbers are suspect, as they are generated and massaged by people who have no medical experience whatsoever. Here are a few articles on link between chronic hep B, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra1713263 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa013215 https://www.hepb.org/blog/link-hepatitis-b-liver-cancer/ https://www.mdanderson.org/prevention-screening/manage-your-risk/hepatitis.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK220039/ You may have no respect for subject matter experts; i differ. I might read a book on nuclear weapons, and understand the concepts of enrichment and implosion, but I couldnt produce a nuclear weapon. I can read a book on safely piloting a 777, but I dont think you would want me flying one. As opposed to an expert.

You and Aaron Rodger’s doing your own research eh? Smarter than 100s of pediatricians, microbiologists, and ID specialists who have devoted their lives to studying vaccines, eh? And in just 5 minutes!, incredible! Seriously, I don’t know where you got your #s from, but they’re wrong. Maybe you’re looking at acute vs chronic hep B? on an earlier topic, you’re 100% correct. Vax hesitancy used to be the province of the wacko libs. Now it’s been taken over by the wacko maga. Still wacko idiots with no medical knowledge or training.

Uhhhh….. you realize that the video you linked discusses evaluation of onetime of the Covid vaccines, right? A trial in which 30,000 people were enrolled. Half got the Covid vaccine, and the other half received a ……. Any guesses? A placebo.

https://www.axios.com/2025/09/05/robert-f-kennedys-nephew-calls-resign His family is calling on him to resign, and orangie is no longer giving him cover. Hope he’s gone soon.

I find it stunning how little Kennedy understands about medicine. Three key concepts he fails to understand 1) Life is not risk free. Neither is medicine. All medical interventions have risks. 2) Vaccines are safety tested. In phase I, II, and III trials, done before vaccines are approved for use. The most useful of these is usually the phase III trial, which will typically enroll hundreds or thousands of volunteers. Read the NEJM articles on Covid mRNA vaccines. Theses article are free and publicly available, and have exhaustive lists of side effects in the vaccine and placebo groups. 3) Hep B vaccines aren’t given to prevent infant deaths. They are given to prevent chronic hepatitis, which can lead to death 30-50 years later.

As usual, and par for the course from the entire Trump administration, this statement is filled with half truths and blatant lies. The data was not destroyed. The data was left out because it was not robust. Sample sizes were too small so the authors resorted to p hacking, and made new groups. That’s why good clinical trials describe the statistical analysis plan BEFORE commencing the study. Trump and his clown posse are destroying American health care research. A good number of details are in the addendum to this complaint. https://katzbanks.com/wp-content/uploads/Marrazzo-final-abb-redacted_Redacted.pdf

I’ve never been a fan of affirmative action programs. Not saying he benefitted from these, but not saying he didn’t. His ideas on vaccines are simply wrong. The vast majority of medical historians and public health experts will tell you that vaccines are one of the most important inventions in all of medicine.

Dude is dumber than a bag of hammers

Dumber than a bag of hammers.

I don’t know. NC was the one who brought up bicycle skills, suggesting that Dear Leader was still an expert cyclist.

Question: Can Trump ride a bike? Just curious.

So the "truth" post was intended to highlight the fact that Trump was a draft dodger? Interesting strategy cotton.
