Ok. But this is that.
WE had a CDC department specificly designed to help local and state entities with kids poisoned with lead.
Then some kids got poisoned with lead.
But the department was gone.
Just because you don’t understand what the department does, or think they should have found the lead sooner, or are miffed that the department doesn’t strip the lead themselves doesn’t change that fact.
Milwaukee only just figured out that old lead paint should be removed from schools. They are going to finally remedy the problem. Vox’s take on the situation?
“Kids are being poisoned by lead. Trump is letting it happen.”
This article should not be taken,seriously…or any article by Vox, for that matter.
That’s not possible. In no way shape or form is this possible
It’s not about finding lead. They built the schools. They know what paint they used…
Why does the CDC need to show up for the four kids in a state where 7 kids get sick with it every day
Well, I’ll just put you in the ‘closing the department that deals with kids and lead poisoning is a good idea’, and note that you are at odds with all the local governments that think otherwise.
Or the OP. 
But…but…TRRRRRRRRUMPPPPPPP
That’s why here
The problem of lead contamination in buildings has been known for decades. Why is this suddenly Kennedy’s (and by extension, Trump’s) problem?
And there we have it folks, a brief summary of the origin of urban Libs … lead paint in their schools affecting millions of kids over the course of decades. 
Did they rule out contamination at home before they lit their hair in fire?
If only schools could teach kids not to eat the paint chips off the walls…
Exactly. I don’t see how the federal government is supposed to be responsible for EVERY communities local utilities?
The department that they called helps entities investigate for that very thing.
What is the “Kid Lead Poison Department” ???
The extent of Federal CDC lead poisoning programs is to fund State programs. (And, like so many other things that fedgov funds at the State level, even that shouldn’t exist, when you get down to it. But I digress.)
The real name is in the OP article. It’s long and hard to remember. But it’s basically the kid lead poison department…
I’ll repeat: The extent of Federal CDC lead poisoning programs is to fund State programs.
State programs. Including Wisconsin. Calling that “department” at the CDC will just get them info on how much funding was sent to Wisconsin. They didn’t call “that department” at the CDC.
That doesn’t answer my question.
From the article:
When the lead poisoning was first detected in January, at the tail end of the Biden administration, city health officials were immediately in contact with the CDC environmental health team, which included several of the country’s top lead poisoning experts, Milwaukee health commissioner Mike Totoraitis told me. A group of federal experts were planning a trip to the city at the end of April.
But not anymore. In early April, the Trump administration denied Milwaukee’s request for support because there was no longer anybody on the government’s payroll who could provide the lead poisoning expertise the city needs.
..
Ordinarily, Totoraitis said, the CDC experts would serve as the city’s subject matter experts, guiding them through their epidemiological investigations. Federal officials are especially adept at the detective work that can determine whether a child was exposed at home or at the school. Milwaukee officials had recent experience with lead exposures in homes but not in schools; they were relying on federal expertise to interpret lead dust levels that were found during the school inspections
..
More than funding.
He’s still crying, first thing in the morning, after being educated by literally everyone in the room, even by other libs.
