Public Health: The CDC

The CDC is certainly an interesting organization. I first worked with them several years ago in Nairobi on a study of antiretrovirals in the private sector. It has always been to me a largely admirable and perhaps even semi-legendary organization (particularly when reading such books as Virus Hunter by C.J. Peters or And the Band Played On by Randy Shilts). But, it has experienced it's share of controversy lately as well.
