CDC is afraid to fund firearms research.

David Hemingway, professor of health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

20 years ago, they were doing a tiny amount of funding for fire research, $2.6 million a year.

$2.6 million a year total. This was too much for the gun lobby and Republicans Congress,

and they attacked the CDC, and now CDC does no funding of firearms research. Zero.

Hemingway spoke February 17th about gun violence research at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston.

CEC is not expressly prohibited from funding firearms research, but they are correctly quite fearful

because they know they would be brought up before Congress would be rated and their funding will be cut if they ever find firearm

research researchers staff at the Centers for Disease Control are afraid to say the word

guns that fire or firearms at major meetings and I've been for the last 20 years there There's the director of the CDC or a major public outageant

and we've had mass shooting after mass shooting in the United States.

And what has he said? And I don't blame him at all.

But what has he said about the mass shootings in the United States?

He has said not a single word. And for good reason,

because he knows if he says anything about guns, funding will be cut.

Thanks for the minute for Scientific American 60 Second Science, I'm Steve Murski.
