I have been on this since 1999, and the science since then has changed little. What it takes is hammering on the people at the CDC every opportunity.
This story is making all the news wires, and we can thank the Bachman's and Perry's of the world for causing a stink ( in their own self interest to appeal to one portion of the electorate) to do more than the several hundred phone calls I have made to those in power of the last 4 years of really pushing for this.
Sometimes it takes an idiot to build a village. Thank all of you people who do not believe in science for getting this out front and center. You have created what you didn't wish.
