"[The CDC's]
disease-control mission was increasingly being regarded as obsolete, prompting
serious discussions about abolishing the CDC altogether.
The situation changed in 1949 when
the CDC brought on board Alexander Langmuir, an associate professor at the Johns
Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health. Langmuir was the CDC's
first VIP, bringing with him both his expertise in epidemiology (the statistical
study of epidemics) and his high-level connections -- including his security
clearance as one of the few scientists privy to the Defense Department's
biological warfare program...
...Langmuir and talked public officials and Congress into giving the CDC
contingent powers to deal with potential emergencies... In July of 1951 he
assembled the first class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), composed
of twenty-three young medical or public health graduates. After six weeks of
intensive epidemiological training, these EIS officers were assigned for two
years to hospitals or state and local health departments around the country.
Upon completing their field experience, EIS alumni were free to pursue any
career they desired, on the assumption that their loyalties would remain with
the CDC and that they would permanently act as its eyes and ears. The focus of
this elite unit was on activism rather than research and was expressed in its
symbol -- a shoe sole worn through with a hole. According to British
epidemiologist Gordon Stewart, a former CDC consultant, the EIS was nicknamed

''Talk to your grandmother about measles. Ask her if she
saw death and destruction from the disease. It was not a disease that needed
eradication. The high death rates were in countries where children were
undernourished and lacked vitamins necessary to process the virus. Alexander
Langmuir, MD is known today as "the father of infectious disease epidemiology."
In 1949 he created the epidemiology section of what is now known as the CDC. He
also headed the Polio Surveillance Unit that was started in 1955 after the polio
vaccine misadventures. Dr Langmuir knew that measles was not a disease that
needed eradication when he said: "To those who ask me,
'Why do you wish to eradicate measles?,' I reply with the same answer that
Hillary used when asked why he wished to climb Mt. Everest. He said, 'Because it
is there.' To this may be added, ". . and it can be done." [11] Langmuir
also knew that by the time vaccination was developed, measles mortality in the
USA had already declined to minimal levels when he described measles as a
"... self-limiting infection of short duration, moderate
severity, and low fatality..." [12]
The vaccine was created because it could be done, not
because we needed it. Measles is not eradicated. Outbreaks happen all over
the world, and will continue. And now infants will be unprotected because of the
absence of maternal antibodies in their vaccinated mother's milk. So much for
protecting the most vulnerable in the herd.''
