So? We have more than one law enforcement agency, too.
> Should the department of HUD send rockets to space? Of course not.
Should the department of Health touch on a major health issue? Of course.
- throwawaymaths 1y agoCDC is not "the department of health". That would be DHHS.
- ceejayoz 1y ago“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 (HHS), and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.”
- throwawaymaths 1y agoYes that's exactly the problem. Scope has been creeping for decades. Effort reduplicated across several sub branches of DHHS
- ceejayoz 1y agoI’m not sure how to explain to you that some problems are multi-factorial. Have you never needed another department’s assistance with a work task? The CDC and HUD (and EPA and DOJ and whatnot) would both be involved in lead exposure in children, for example. Different aspects of the same big problem.
