Would you cooperate with the CDC if they came to your house and wanted your blood?





Got a surprise visit from the CDC just now.

They came around saying they are doing a random sample of one thousand households around the Atlanta area. Wanted to know if I was willing to be part of the their medical trial.

Apparently they are doing two things, trying to get FDA approval for the serology testing method, and doing surveys about how the shelter in place has effected residences plus rates of sickness either documented or undocumented.

So, first I filled out a short questionnaire, then they did a 10-15 minute long question and answer session, then they took my blood to see if I had antibodies related to Covid-19.

Overall relatively quick and painless and they were willing to answer any questions you had.

Kinda interesting.

Yeeaahh...

That was my primary worry as well, going around to people's houses one after the next like that.

They staid six feet away when possible. When I had agreed they put on full PPE, which they said was fresh for each home, and they certainly used new stuff here.

Full body smock type thing, new face masks (they had one on the entire time, but changed to fresh to get closer), clear plastic face shield, new gloves.

They seemed to be doing everything they could.

Did ask them if they had been tested, both said they had not been.

If I was sure it was the CDC? Sure. And this comes from someone with an acute fear of needles and blood draws.

It's not like I can't make more blood anyway.

Yeah, they had identification.

Plus they had outfits with CDC badges on them, and had a car full of PPE and medical equipment.

If it was fake I applaud their efforts.

Only if they give a valid/good reason on why they need it and a lot of proof that they work for the CDC.

Weird that they'd send untested people to test citizens

I mean if they weren't sick at the beginning it wouldn't matter.

...and after they came in contact with people they would have to be constantly testing them for it to make any difference.

Honestly if wouldn't matter at all if they always took proper precautions, besides giving a false sense of security.

At least that's the conclusion I came to after thinking about it for awhile.

If so, nice.

Seems to be a lot of hate for the CDC.

Also, more people would not give blood than would give it.

Why is that?

What the fuck are they going to do with your blood that you don't like?

TC i dont trust random people coming to my door, i really am not going to trust random people asking to bypass my immune systems biggest defense and take a sample of my DNA for research. i'd need legitimate proof they were CDC before i let them take some blood.

Surely if they were doing this they'd publicize it before hand.

Interestingly enough, one of the oral questions asked was if you had heard of this survey before hand.
