the CDC agency is a govt agency under the Department of Health, the CDC has it's own foundation called the CDC Foundation that is where the 501c 3 comes from.
the foundation's page, from the who we are on their site,
The CDC Foundation is an independent nonprofit and the sole entity created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s critical health protection work.
Our Story
and from the cdc wiki, cause it's fast
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the national public health agency of the United States. It is a United States federal agency, under the Department of Health and Human Services,[2] and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.[3]

the Federal Govt owns all kinds of patents that comes from, research grant agreements ,procurement contract, cooperative agreements, in many different fields.
Government-owned patents exist on inventions that have come from government-funded research. This type of research can exist in all types of industries among federal contractors, universities, corporations, small businesses, and research institutes. The government owns research facilities and provides research grants and procurement contracts to businesses in the private sector. Through these endeavors, the federal government provides funding for nearly half of the research and development efforts on a national scale, and because of its major investment, the government has the highest number of patent rights in the country.

that being said,many people feel that foundations are created to do things that legal entities or people that make money off of public interest can't do or would be frowned on by some investors.

There is both a public and private "CDC", related but not one entity, with the private entity distinguished as the "CDC Foundation.
See Hounddoghowlie's post for links and a better explanation.
It is a concern -- a BIG concern -- because they do work together, and not for the benefit of the people.
Some may enjoy drawing distinction between the two, but it sure looks like a way to protect and fund the foundations agenda by the American tax payer.

it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing. But you’re welcome to live in your own ignorance and assumptions.

Call me shill for presenting facts? Discard a perspective? Fine, be ignorant.
If you actually thought critically you would realize my post doesn’t fully disagree with your own. I don’t shoot down the possibility of external influences on the CDC, nor do I claim that their motives are exactly aligned with the public.

Definitely! Hence my comment that --

It's not a matter of "enjoying" drawing a distinction... it's crucial in order to understand the "how." In today's world, this kind of quasi government entity is enabled to do what the official government cannot do, but can also do so with the veneer of authority. The distinction has to be understood to understand this unholy alliance at the people's expense.
There was a really good thread on here a while back -- probably a couple or a few years ago -- that delved into this more deeply. It was a good thread. Very informative.

You are right, the CDC is today the lap dogs of the big pharma thanks for their generosity, then this same pharmas pay the FDA to help pass their drugs.
Yes is corruption, they are all dirty and full of private interest.
Do not let anybody intimidate you when you post.
