X-post FW: CDC Phone Call...

[Guest guest]

This is the second person who has told me

that they’ve been contacted for this interview…and both said they

refused. Anyone have any more info about what the CDC is trying to do here? BTW,

the person they started the interview with below- Rissa- is a child. Kenny is

the father, who happens to have Gulf War Syndrome.

Any further info is appreciated.

Best,

Hey ...

I thought you may be interested to know that 2 days ago, Kenny received

a letter from the CDC; notifying him that they would be calling within a few

days to conduct a phone interview to collect data on the number of children

within our household in regards to their immunizations.

I find this highly offensive and really odd. I don't trust

them. I consider this information to be confidential medical information

and am wondering why they would choose to call our family to question us

on the ages and immunization status of our children? I can't find

anything on snopes or CDC about any current survey.

So, the CDC called tonight, never asked for Kenny, and started

their " survey " with Rissa... she handed the phone off to me

and I told the lady that we would not participate in their survey.

She asked why I wouldn't " participate in this very important

survey? " I told her that our family's immunizations weren't anyones'

business. She persisted. I told her again that we would not

participate and hung up...

I was really shocked... It was a strange call.

I just wanted to share that with you, and don't know if it means

anything, or if I just ended up with a rude caller.

Talk to you later,

I guess one would have to cooperate with the survey to find out if

they intended to ask about autism. To me it just sounds like spying

on behalf of pharmaceutical interests. The CDC is just under contract

at this point.

If anyone wants to find out where the survey leads and feels like

goofing around, they should claim to have eleven children with really

bizarre names and claim they had way more shots than are on the

schedule.
