CDC’s real priorities?

"I came across a great example of this recently when I was doing some research on autism.
You may be aware that autism– a severe developmental disorder that affects children– has been rising at alarming rates.
The CDC is keenly aware of this; in fact they even set up a special division more than 20 years ago to track autism prevalence in the United States.
According to the agency’s data, for example, autism prevalence back in the year 2000 was about 1 in 150 children. By 2008, autism prevalence had increased to 1 in 88 children.
Then, by 2014, prevalence had increased to 1 in 59 children.
And finally, last year they released the most recent data from 2016 (they seem to be four years behind…) showing a prevalence of 1 in 54 children.
[Plus a 2018 report from the federal government’s Health Resources & Services Administration estimated autism prevalence at 1 in 40 children.]
You don’t need a degree in public health to understand the trend: this is a five alarm fire.
It seems safe to assume that an agency called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be all over this. After all, helping to prevent such a debilitating disorder is sort of in the agency’s name.
But you would be completely astonished to read their most recent ‘Community Report’ on autism."

By comparison, the agency spent more than $100 million on a visitor center, complete with waterfalls and a Japanese garden.
I am so sick of all these frauds.
Haha I see my take is similar to sir mccannon01
"To put this in a financial context, the CDC announced earlier this year that they were allocating a whopping $16 million… over a five year period… to autism research.

What more do you need to know? Obviously politics and facade overrules any need for science... AND these are the people that insist on telling us we have to get an experimental so-called vaccine, mask up, social distance, shut down businesses and almost any other activity for a virus that is no more dangerous than the typical flu. They are NOT scientists. They ARE looters and politicians.
Technocracy is a proposed system of government in which the decision-maker or makers are selected on the basis of their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge. This system explicitly contrasts with representative democracy, the notion that elected representatives should be the primary decision-makers in government, though it does not necessarily imply eliminating elected representatives.
