Gun Control Groups Pressured CDC To Remove Data
From The Reload:
The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) deleted a reference to a study it commissioned after a group of gun-control advocates complained it made passing new restrictions more difficult.
The lobbying campaign spanned months and culminated with a private meeting between CDC officials and three advocates last summer, a collection of emails obtained by The Reload show. Introductions from the White House and Senator Dick Durbin’s (D., Ill.) office helped the advocates reach top officials at the agency after their initial attempt to reach out went unanswered. The advocates focused their complaints on the CDC’s description of its review of studies that estimated defensive gun uses (DGU) happen between 60,000 and 2.5 million times per year in the United States–attacking criminologist Gary Kleck’s work establishing the top end of the range.
CDC Director Disputes Sotomayor’s Covid Claims
From NTD:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walenksy disputed Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s claim that 100,000 children are hospitalized or seriously ill with COVID-19 during arguments last week.
During an interview with “Fox News Sunday,†Walensky confirmed there are about 3,500 children in the hospital and who tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
There’s No Ban On Studying Guns
From National Review:
Hundreds of news stories over the past few years have maintained that the all-powerful NRA worked to institute a CDC “ban,†or an effective ban, including the above Washington Post piece. In truth, nothing has ever stopped the CDC from asking for specific funding to research “gun violence†if it pleased. Nothing has stopped the CDC from allocating its own funds for a study on gun violence.
CDC: Ebola Could Infect A Half Million By January
From Washington Post:
The Ebola epidemic sweeping West Africa could infect up to 500,000 people by the end of January, according to a new estimate under development by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC projection assumes no additional aid by governments and relief agencies. But the United States this week launched a $750Â million effort to establish treatment facilities with 1,700 beds in Liberia, the hardest hit country. And the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday to create an emergency medical mission to respond to the outbreak, with an advance team in West Africa by the end of the month.
CDC Classifies Gun Violence as a Contagious Disease
From Sunshine State News:
The study was commissioned in January as one of Obama’s 23 executive orders to enact gun control. To get Congress to fund it with taxpayers’ money, the CDC had to classify gun violence as “a contagious disease.”  It’s all phony baloney, but after Sandy Hook, the general feeling in the corridors of the White House was that the end justifies the means.
CDC: No Connection Bewteen Gun Laws and Lower Crime
From Emily Miller at The Washington Times:
An extensive 2002 study by the Centers for Disease Control examined firearms laws from all across the country and concluded none were effective in thwarting violent criminals. Such facts can’t always stand up to the effect an all-out White House campaign can have on public opinion. A Pew Research Center Poll released Thursday shows that support for the “assault weapons†ban reached 55 percent. Two years ago, a Gallup poll put support for the ban at only 43 percent.
