jpfo.org/articles-assd04/codrea-govt-public-health-threat.htmThe Biggest Public Health Threat is GovernmentFor "progressives," every day is Opposite Day. That's an observation I've yet to see refuted by the "Ignorance is Strength" crowd, and increasingly, the same can be said for the federal government. Seemingly bent on pulling out all stops to deny our "Liberty" and "pursuit of Happiness," recent headlines show bureaucrats doing their best to obliterate the "Life" part of our unalienable rights, too. "The same federal scientist who recently found forgotten samples of smallpox at a federal lab also uncovered over 300 additional vials, many bearing the names of highly contagious viruses and bacteria," the Associated Press is reporting. Overseeing that potential catastrophe, which we find has been ignored and forgotten for over half a century, were the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, both funded and tasked to protect health and lives. Meanwhile, the same level of professionalism and dedication has been demonstrated over at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Four days after the [CDC] concluded its investigation into June's accidental anthrax exposure, more details are being released about the government health agency's mishandling of potentially dangerous pathogens," CNN reported. Say, aren't these the same guys who are going to save us from the "public health menace" of guns?
