They're a federal agency, under the HHS umbrella. Started in 1946 to fight malaria in the southeast US. That's why they were put in Atlanta.

Here's a loooooong list of donors to the CDC Foundation:

Also, CDC owns a bunch of patents, some to do with vaccines:

Offit and other CDC members own numerous patents associated with vaccinations and regularly receive funding for their research work from the very same pharmaceutical companies who manufacturer vaccinations which are ultimately sold to the public. This situation creates an obvious conflict of interest, as members of the ACIP committee benefit financially every time a new vaccination is released to the market.

The CDC is disguised as a federal agency, but it is not. Why would they need private sector donors? Why would they patent vaccines? Why are they pushing vaccines? It is not a "agency" that cares about the health of people, but cares about the bottom profit line. They are not any different than the "Federal Reserve."
