Oh, yeah, big pharma that is cashing out on the pandemic, CDC that get his funding by pharma

The CDC is a federal agency. It is funded by the government as a branch of Health and Human Services.

and money giving Saucy fauci

Dr Fauchi is a government employee. Specifically, he is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and has been the chief medical advisor to the POTUS since the Presidency of Ronald Reagan.

with his head soo deep in China/Gates butt he has gone blind now.

China does not pay Fauchi, nor has he ever promoted China or its government.

Bill Gates is a private investor and philanthropist through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation has funded promising medical research, education, and poverty reduction efforts. His foundation is registered as a charity.

Wow, I wonder who your are for real, Saucy Fauci is that you?

No, I am an Australian citizen, currently resident in New Zealand.

You still have not mentioned what sources you believe are credible and that support your opinions.

THE CDC IS IN BED WITH BIG PHARMA

Pronouncements, guidelines and recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention set the standards for mainstream medicine in America and hold great sway with patients and around the world and with the World Health Organization because the CDC is considered independent and free of industry relationships. The organization even features the following disclaimer with its recommendations: “CDC, our planners, and our content experts wish to disclose they have no financial interests or other relationships with the manufacturers of commercial products … CDC does not accept commercial support.”

But that statement is blatantly false, as recent research by The BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal) shows. In fact, the CDC gets millions of dollars annually from Big Pharma and then turns around and recommends testing and drugs created and marketed by those same companies, and this is often done upon the contributing company’s demand.

"Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving any money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited! Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory — and then even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans," he claimed.

Yes, the CDC Foundation receives private funding. It's funding does not directly go to the CDC, instead it is allocated to projects which assist the mission goals of the CDC. The CDC Foundation is also a not-for profit charity, which ensures that the money raised is all consumed by its separate charitable projects.

Notice Re: CDC Foundation - CDC

The millions of dollars the CDC Foundation receives are also substantially less than the billions of dollars that the CDC receives from its government budget allocation.

... not to mention the loss of funding that occurred during the Trump administration, concurrent with the expanded needs and drain on resources that the COVID-19 epidemic caused the CDC.

I suspect the CDC aren't raking in the cash, but quite the opposite, at least in the current timeframe. When they release their 2020 annual fiscal report we'll know more about that.

You also appear to be linking media sites. Are these the ones that you see as more credible than official governmental sources (the topic of the my post that you previously replied to)?

Let's just argue over semantics and ignore the issue presented in the OP.
