You know how those commercials for toothpaste will say something like, "4 out of 5 doctors agree! Crest Whitening Formula is the best toothpaste on the market!"

... It's not 4 out of 5. It's more like... 999 out of 1000 when you actually query epidemiologists. These people do this for a living. And bluntly, without disrespect... they are so, so much smarter than you or I ever will be. And this is the area they chose to specialize in and spent their whole lives studying.

You don't just 'get' to go work at the CDC. That's the equivalent of the NBA of doctors. They're such a prestigious organization that most other countries name their pandemic management centers after our CDC. And if they tap you to come work for them? You just go. They're basically humanity's first line of defense to make sure our overpopulated behinds don't get jacked by the next Ebola or Smallpox that might be lurking around the corner.

If a global community of doctors with these qualifications say something related to 'their' field? Just shut up and listen, man. I swear, most of you have more respect for your plumber or electrician than you do for someone who is likely smarter than anyone you've ever met in real life.
