(4,062 posts)1) You are ignorant of what the CDC does and the range of talent and the types of people who work for them. Before you spout nonsense again and waste someone else's time, read this and learn something for a change:

2) Burden is on you -- tell how the definition I quoted before PRECLUDES some in-the-NRA-pocket congressman from classifying ANYTHING they don't like coming out of the CDC as political lobbying. Including a mere statement of numbers. Seeing how the tiniest factoid might "influence" a decision that rule is a baldfaced politically motivated muzzle, just one you happen to like so you see nothing wrong with it. By the way, appeals to expertise are irrelevant here -- you don't have to be a lawyer, you merely need to know how to read. Are you pleading ignorance on that?
3) Given that the "NIJ grants under Carter" pass some test of yours as solid research, we can safely conclude this entire thread PROVES that you're happy with research that backs up your preconceived notion and consider things you don't like to be "ideological" and untrustworthy. In other words, you are a living example of "confirmation bias:"

As such, you really have nothing worthwhile to add to a discussion. Your mind is made up, it will not change.
Add to that, you hate free scientific inquiry of course. Unless it says what you want it to. Of course, then it isn't "free" is it?
