Does Big Pharma Have it’s Thumb on the Scales for CDC Nomination?
Introduction:
The CDC nomination of Dave Weldon has already been withdrawn by the Trump administration. Weldon appeared to have the qualifications as a former Congressman with a medical degree.

These must be obtained through dietary sources. In contrast, non-essential amino acids can be produced internally.
