Reply #16: What's truly stunning about this is the infiltration of the CDC

by the fundieocracy. Note the last two sentences of the New Yorker excerpt:

"Reginald Finger, an evangelical Christian and a former medical adviser to the conservative political organization Focus on the Family, said. 'With any vaccine for H.I.V., disinhibition' - a medical term for the absence of fear - 'would certainly be a factor, and it is something we will have to pay attention to with a great deal of care.' Finger sits on the Centers for Disease Control's Immunization Committee, which makes those recommendations."

It's pretty damned shocking that the American mullahs are making medical decisions for the rest of us. This shit has GOT to stop.
