We have covered how the CDC has zero funding for such research. Now you pretend to not know about this.

Your naivete was called out and you got angry. How cute! -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
