Akenaton keeps citing the Centers for Disease Control as his source of dire statistics. From research I did on the site, I can only conclude that Ake excerpts what he wants from the site, gives it his own twist, and simply ignores the rest.

It is a good, informative site. I would suggest that whenever Ake quotes something from the CDC, you check it for yourself.
