Why The New CDC Chief Is A Threat To Public Health — The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines the appointment of Dr Brenda Fitzgerald as the new head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and her deep financial and programmatic ties to the Coca-Cola Company. Graham discusses how Fitzgerald spearheaded the "Shape" childhood obesity programme in Georgia funded by Coca-Cola, the sugar industry's lobbying efforts against soda taxes, corporate influence over public health watchdogs, and the parallels between Big Soda, Big Tobacco, and Big Oil.
