Genomics and Health Impact Blog
Just another Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Blogs site
New Blog: Genomics Matters
Categories: genomics
May 5th, 2011 9:10 am ET -
Genetics has a role in diseases of public health significance that affect infants, children, and adults. Our genes influence our response to drugs, infectious threats, and environmental exposures. More than 2,000 genetic tests are in use today and many more are coming.
In spite of the rapid pace of discovery in genetics, we are still in the early days of knowing how to use this information to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities.
We all need credible information for health decision making
For over 60 years, CDC has been dedicated to protecting health and promoting quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, and disability. The agency is committed to providing information and developing programs that reduce the health consequences of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.
Since 1997, the CDC Office of Public Health Genomics has been dedicated to integrating genomics into research, policy and programs, in ways that can help improve the health of all people.
What this blog will be about
We will share the results of genomic research, evaluation, and programs conducted by CDC and other institutions around the world and comment on them from a public health perspective. We will not provide individual medical advice or endorse specific commercial products. We encourage respectful comments and dialog.
Your input is needed
We would like to get your input on what topics you would like to see on the blog. Are you interested in some of these topics?
What can be learned from personal genomic tests available online?
How can family history be useful for improving health?
How can we become more savvy readers and users of genomic information?
What genomic programs exist today that can help save lives and improve quality of life?
What genomic information is useful in reducing the burden of common diseases like cancer, heart diabetes, and asthma?

This thread is 51 pages now, that's a lot of lives at risk wouldn't you say? If the info is this far and true (which I am beginning to give the benefit of the doubt based on "stuff" I am uncovering), then it's too late imo, it's out!

I must be losing track of my posts in here, what is this you're referring to? What did I say? Too late for what?

I think you made a post about him saying in an email to whoever not to say this in public and put lives at risk

In that email, he says that if you spread the info, "your life will be at risk"...we're all spreading it 51 pages worth all over the net...that's a lot of cleaning up TPTB would have to do.

IF there's any truth to this, then I don't believe 'they' would try to clean anything up now. That would lend WAY too much credibility to the message. 'They' whoever they might be would probably just hope the whole thing runs itself into the ground.
Also why I felt it so important to keep the screen grabs of the original messages so that it wouldn't turn into a game of telephone where everything just gets lost in translation. If I hadn't gotten the 'proof' of the first posts, this thread wouldn't have had much backing it up at this point. Just a bunch of conjecture and people's scratching their heads trying to remember what really happened.
If it's a hoax, great job done, and great sci fi, I do love a good conspiracy. If not, then I believe I have done everything possible to keep the original message unaltered so people could draw their own conclusions with the information presented, if they were willing to do the work. Because it's all here.
The thing that jumped out here is the word DIRECTLY.
