“and has yet to cure one single disease in its entire history”
I don’t think you understand the purpose of the CDC. That’s like saying that FEMA has failed to prevent a single hurricane.
Edit - also, link to the report? I am curious to read it now.
Edit Edit - Never mind. Found it. Seems like it’s a combination of a little quibbling over very minor expenses (oh no! They have nice things in their building that cost $1,500), a little not understanding that things (like furniture and construction) cost more than they did 30 years ago, a little not liking the idea of education and outreach programs, a lot of not understanding epidemiology, and mostly “I disagree with the policy goal, therefore this is waste (i.e. complaining about any funding that goes towards examining and debunking abstinence only education)”. Of course, I admit to only skimming it.
