Man, CDC always seems to take it up the ass. Don't they also have some crazy restrictions on research into marijuana usage as well that prevents any meaningful research from getting done?

it cuts short...

No i'm fairly sure your right... brought to you by a LOT of the same people.... same ones who don't want NASA studying the earth etc....

*controversy

Adding video to channels (Controversy) - requested by MrFisk.

For obvious reasons. People that want something banned, don't want statistics showing that shows it doesn't kill. And people that don't want something banned, don't want statistics showing that it kills people.

Bed manufacturers wouldn't want the CDC studying beds - because 400+ people die each year by falling out of bed. Windows tint manufacturers would have no problem with the CDC studying the effects of window tint.
Combine that with sufficient political influence, and you get either a ban or a mandate.

Pretty much most things you encounter in the day have some lethality rate to them, just most don't have such an effective organization defending their use. Nor do most draw as much attention. Not much noise about the lethality of bad bread, or errors in GPS maps, or whatever else gets people killed each year. But if there was noise, and there was political strength behind it, you'd be seeing bans on CDC studying GPS map errors.

Yes, there is some chance of being injured or dying while doing almost anything at any time. Extreme statistical unlikely-hoods occur all the time and they are extremely difficult to protect against.

Comparing 400+ deaths a year (for example), while in pursuit of a biological requirement that all humans are required to do, and thus spend roughly 1/4 of their lives doing it, to 80,000+ no fatal injuries and 11,000 homicides from gun use is asinine to the extreme.
