The CDC Is Not a Private Non-profit but the CDC Foundation Is… So, Who The Heck are They?

CDC Foundation Logo

Last week, somewhere in one of our social feeds, someone asked if the CDC was actually a private non-profit.  The question at hand was how or why anyone would need to follow its directives if it were?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is a government agency in its expensive and incompetent glory. It operates ars part of the Department of Health and Human Services and answers to the cabinet Secretary appointed to that position.

It has been handed authority to which it is not entitled. But not nearly the amount of influence – as with most bureaucracies – to which it aspires.

The confusion appears to have arisen as a result of a separate organization. The CDC Foundation exists “to support and carry out activities for the prevention and control of diseases, disorders, injuries, and disabilities, and for promotion of public health.”

Before COVID19, you might have thought of them as a side-car for cash to backstop broad response teams, research, or other much-needed immediate coordination and support. Money, faster than Congress might be able to allocate, easily available.

These days I’d liken them to COVID policy mercenaries (if I had to guess), and they are hiring a regional coordinator in New Hampshire.

Here’s the job PR.

The CDC Foundation helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) save and improve lives by unleashing the power of collaboration between CDC, philanthropies, corporations, organizations, and individuals to protect the health, safety and security of America and the world. The CDC Foundation is the go-to nonprofit authorized by Congress to mobilize philanthropic partners and private-sector resources to support CDC’s critical health protection mission. Since 1995, the CDC Foundation has raised over $1 billion and launched more than 1,000 programs impacting a variety of health threats from chronic disease conditions including cardiovascular disease and cancer, to infectious diseases like rotavirus and HIV, to emergency responses, including COVID-19 and Ebola. The CDC Foundation managed hundreds of CDC-led programs in the United States and in more than 140 countries last year. Learn more at www.cdcfoundation.org.

The Regional Coordinators will report to the Area Coordinators and be responsible for the day-to-day management of field staff in one of ten designated Health & Human Services Region, reporting back to CDC and the CDC Foundation on the needs and gaps in working areas.

 

Public Health Tryant regional governors.

We could save a lot of time and money if they just handed out vitamin D, Ivermectin, and Hydroxychloroquine to anyone who wanted it. The use instructions are simple, they are safe and will kick COVID and its variants in the ass – based on the science the must-vaccinate crowd want to see suppressed.

No such luck. This is a Federal liaison, literally a public health Federal “governor” for policy in the northeast. Why do we need one of those all of a sudden? And why is the job listed as temporary?

And all that money Bill Gates dropped was not to buy the CDC – it is a government agency. He has to buy politicians to do that (which I’m sure he does). He donated millions to The CDC Foundation, probably because they advance his preferred COVID agenda or will.

As will (I expect) The Regional Coordinator they are looking to hire.
