 In 1904 Andrew Carnegie's Carnegie Institute had founded the major laboratory at [[:Cold Spring Harbor]], the [[:Eugenics Record Office]] on wealthy Long Island, outside New York City, where millions of index cards on the bloodlines of ordinary Americans were gathered, to plan the possible removal of entire bloodlines deemed inferior.
-The land for the institute was donated by railroad magnate, [[:E. H. Harriman]], a firm supporter of eugenics. This was [[:eugenics]], American elite style. Naturally, if the ideal was tall, blond, blue-eyed Nordic types, that meant dark-skinned Asians, Indians, Blacks, Hispanics and others, including the sick and retarded, were deemed inferior to the eugenics goal of "best of breed."

 One of the largest and most significant financial contributors for various eugenics projects soon became the Rockefeller Foundation. It poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into various eugenics and population projects, from the American Eugenics Society to Cold Spring Harbor, to the American Breeder's Association.

+[[:Weber Shandwick]] Provides PR for [[:Moderna]] and [[:Pfizer]], While Staffing the CDC’s Vaccine Office
+Substack - The Disinformation Chronicle -  Paul D. Thacker - October 11. 2022
+A potential $50 million contract allows PR firm to be “embedded at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta as part of the Division of Viral Diseases team.”
+According to Medical Marketing and Media, Weber Shandwick first won a potential $50 million contract to support the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases in September 2020, during COVID pandemic’s first year. According to NCIRD documents, Weber employees would communicate the risks and recommended actions for outbreaks and convey vaccine recommendations to healthcare providers.
+"Weber’s duties include providing 10 on-site health communications staffers, seven health comms specialists, two health research specialists and one social media specialist. The agency’s earned media responsibilities include generating story ideas, distributing articles and conducting outreach to news, media and entertainment organizations. It also includes conducting satellite radio and TV tours, providing spokesperson training and reaching out to celebrities or entertainment media."
+On his LinkedIn Account, a former Weber Shandwick employee explained that his duties at the CDC “focuses on boosting vaccination rates for flu, HPV, whooping cough, and COVID-19.” ((https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/weber-shandwick-provides-pr-for-moderna))
+==== CDC 2022 Budget Summary ====
+budget would boost CDC funds, preparedness support: Prevention-focused plan off to Congress
+Kim Krisberg - The Nation's Health June 2022
+{{ ::cdc_2022funding_w_url.png?600|}}
+In March, the Biden administration released its proposed federal budget for fiscal year 2023, calling for more than **$81 billion** in mandatory [[:pandemic preparedness]] funds and an increase of $2.23 billion for the [[:Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]], which would mark a 21% increase over fiscal year 2022 levels.
+Overall, the budget proposes more than $127 billion for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or an increase of $13.3 billion.
+The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration would also get an increase in the Biden budget of $41 million. The administration is requesting a **$4.2 billion increase** for the [[:Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services]] Administration, which is working to address mental and substance use disorders that worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, among other issues.
+“The administration’s proposed FY 2023 budget rightly focuses on the critical need to improve the nation’s **public health infrastructure**, workforce and [[:pandemic preparedness]] capabilities,” APHA Executive Director [[:Georges Benjamin]], MD, said in a news release.
+Within the CDC budget, the administration proposes increases in discretionary funding for a number of public health priorities, including an increase of $400 million to invest in public health infrastructure within states, localities and territories; an increase of $383 million for immunization and respiratory diseases; an increase of $145 million for CDC’s [[:Social Determinants of Health Program]]; and a increase of $174 million for environmental health programs, including a $100 million boost for the [[:Climate and Health Program]].
+CDC’s prevention work on gun violence and injury is also slated for significant increases. The Biden budget proposes a **$223 million bump** for the agency’s [[:opioid]] **overdose prevention** and surveillance work, as well as $22.5 million more for research on **preventing gun injuries** and deaths and $250 million more for community-based violence intervention work.
+CDC’s Public Health Preparedness and Response program, however, would be decreased by $20 million. Some experts said the proposed decrease was likely an oversight.
+The new budget, which still has to churn through [[:Congress]], also asks for an additional pot of $81.7 billion in mandatory — as opposed to discretionary — funding over five years for [[:pandemic preparedness]], including $28 billion for CDC to invest in infrastructure, surveillance, lab capacity, data systems and workforce.
+CDC is also submitting a proposal for $25 billion over 10 years to establish mandatory funding for the [[:Vaccines For Adults]] Program, which would provide millions of uninsured Americans with recommended immunizations.
+[[:Dara Lieberman]], MPP, director of government relations at [[:Trust For America’s Health]], said that overall, proposed funding for CDC is not far off from what the CDC Coalition had urged. The coalition, which APHA helps lead, has asked Congress to approve “at least $11 billion” for CDC’s 2023 fiscal year.
+Lieberman said that while the **mandatory $81.7 billion in pandemic funding** faces “significant political obstacles to getting across the finish line,” the proposal does speak to the urgency of investing in and modernizing public health.
+“It reflects what’s needed **to rebuild our chronically underfunded public health system** and the need to invest in cross-cutting capabilities,” Lieberman told The Nation’s Health. “We can’t keep nibbling around the edges… and expect a different result the next pandemic."((https://web.archive.org/web/20220605150043/https://www.thenationshealth.org/content/52/4/1.1))
