CDC ... government or private?

Established by Congress more than two decades ago, the CDC Foundation is an independent, 501(c)(3) public charity.

The foundation's job is to fund the CDC with private corporate money. This creates a De Facto private enterprise that works for the benefits of the sponsors, not the American people. The conflicts of interest should be glaring to anyone who takes the time to look. How can a supposed independent agency act for the interests of the people when their paychecks are coming from corporations and wealthy people?

Isn't Plutocracy Great!?

Right from the horse’s mouth: “Although the CDC Foundation was chartered by Congress, it is not a government agency nor is it a division of CDC. It is a private, nonprofit organization classified as a 501(c)(3) public charity.”
