CDC - FDA - NIH

        Any of you that have read my book, Business Fits, know how I hate acronyms, but the medical field and government are full of them.  Last week I criticized the World Trade Organization and the World Health Organization.  This week let’s take a look at three organizations in our own government.  

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – CDC

        The CDC was originally formed as Office of National Defense Malaria Control Activities in 1942 for controlling malaria.  In 1946 it was renamed Communicable Disease Center.  The CDC has expanded outside its stated mission and is involved in activities that overlap with other agencies.

        The CDC has a budget of over 11 billion and employs almost 11,000 people.  With this kind of budget and staff you would think they would have been ready for the Wuhan Virus.  Obviously they were not.

Food and Drug Administration – FDA

        The FDA is not much better.  They have almost 15,000 employees and a budget of over $3 billion.  They are too slow to approve drugs and still get it wrong all the time.  The control groups for test studies uses human beings like guinea pigs with part of the people getting placebos.  Do you want to be part of their experiments?  Thank God President Trump has given dying people the option of using drugs that are not approved. 

        I am sick of the fake news attacking Trump for everything he does.  They say he should not be taking hydroxychloroquine that has been approved and proven safe over seven decades with millions of prescriptions dispensed. 

National Institute of Health – NIH

        The NIH has over 20,000 employees with a budget of over $39 Billion.  The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseased is one of twenty-seven divisions making up the NIH.  Anthony Fauci is the Director. 

        Fauci is now famous as the face of science concerning the Wuhan Virus.  He has made many public appearances with President Trump.  He was the one to suggest the country be shut down.  He said we had no choice. 

        Fauci has been proven wrong on every prediction.  He said masks didn’t work and then they did.  He said the virus could be spread on surfaces, and then it couldn’t, and then it could.  He predicted a second wave of the virus, and now is not sure.  He needs to get a job as a weather man.  As a weather man he can be wrong most of the time and still keep his job.    Fauci now admits the shutdown has created “irreparable damage.”  He finally got something right.

        I hope we have learned that many government agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH are bloated, inefficient government agencies without focus that operate outside their stated objective and still fail to achieve their assigned mission.  The bureaucrats who run them operate with little or no supervision and believe they can make laws on their own.  It truly is time to “drain the swamp” in many ways. 

        The only good thing about this pandemic is that we may have learned something about how to handle the next one.  We now know shutting down the economy is not the solution.  Trump got was right to shut down international travel when he did.  Of course the Democrats called him racist for doing so at the time.

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Trump did not bring division.  Division brought Trump. 

If you don’t see that, then you’re part of the problem.
