Now tell me again how I got it wrong. What you listed as the top five, correctly by the way, are deaths for ALL AGES and that means as most Americans die after age 64 that those diseases are what cause deaths in the elderly.

See post 50, 57 and 61 for what I actually wrote as opposed to what you claim I wrote.

Thanks for not correcting me.
After much thought, I think I can articulate clearly why I don't believe everything the CDC advises and go to trusted sources I've developed to verify or refute its advice. I don't need to be top notch, professional researcher as the OP defines and I understand confirmation bias completely. But if I have reliable sources that actually do that level of research then it becomes easier to refute or verify.

Now to the CDC and firearm violence. Rationalize it any way you want but if you don't believe the CDC has an agenda when it advises on many issues then you're extremely naïve. You have to remember, this is the agency that just days ago ILLEGALLY extended the eviction moratorium in direct violation of the recent Supreme Court decision. Are you really going to try and convince me that's a public health issue and in the CDC's realm of authority? It's not and neither is firearm violence. Provide statistics, fine. But anything other than that, I suspect a hidden agenda.

And here it is. There is no doubt in my mind this is an end run for gun control. The CDC is going to label firearm violence as a 'public health crisis' giving the government perceived authority to implement by executive order a partial or complete gun control order. Mark those words.
