revealed there was a transfer of ebola from a cdc four lab to a cdc two lab. and despite the growing number of red flags these incidents keep happening. we learned an army lab in utah shipped anthrax to facilities across the globe. at least 192 labs have received shipments of the anthrax. the testing used to validate and insure the anthrax spores were not active failed to detect the live anthrax spores. what is most troubling is that doug way used this potentially deadly process for years. this is unacceptable. it is threatening the nation security and public health. the committee hopes to learn what is being done to prevent future safety lapses. the internal review of the circumstances surrounding the shipments of anthrax and according to the report the dod was unable to determine the root cause of how and why doug way labs shipped anthrax. it is said all of the labs operate outside of the experimental data. in other words, it seems the department of defense labs have been eradiating larger numbers of spores given. this revelation begs a lot of questions begi

lost their job that cdc or dod? where food is still doing the same thing even though they're literally have a national security risk of anthrax around the world and as mr. griffith found out that does not matter. how many are protected because they are part of a federal the reunion that is not allow them to be held accountable. >> i would like you to see how accountable the staff are at cdc retake this incredibly seriously. there are regulations and rules for the transfer of live anthrax this particular incident was is exempted material that is not considered a select agent and then choose tried to put in more policies.

review of cdc labs and procedures. that is a review of what opportunities we have to improve the oversight program. >> okay. let me ask it this way. going back to his testimony where he says that it never should have happened lack of adequate procedures totally unacceptable. going to put the processes in place and incorporate the lessons learned. was this not done last year? >> many things were done. this was not addressed. >> this, okay so it was not addressed. that's answer i wanted a yes or no. either it was done or it was not done. and that is what we want to know. and, see, this is part of what is so frustrating to the taxpayers who are footing the bill for this. because you all feel like you have immunity, if you will, and you don't have to move forward and do the job because you have a continuing appropriation. you just don't do the job until it's convenient. >> congressman -- >> you mess up once, you mess up twice. you mess up 86 times and it's no skin off your back. because nobody's responsible. because you op

>> the cdc works with usda as if we are with one program.edo a joint inspections whenever a changes proposed were considered it is discussed with the actors. >> that is nice but what about dot? >> the oversight function i am trying to understand your question. >> what dr. cross agency has recommended is one single oversight agency to set forth the protocol for the dispensing of these agents. so i am asking each agency if you would object it makes sense to have one protocol the matter which the lab has said. would do shoreview? >> my view it is a complex decision that there are constraints to having one standard for all procedures. >> what would those be? >> with anthrax there is many different uses. >> but in any case if you are sending it around you don't want it to be live. that is not subject to debate so few could have one agency to come up with the protocols of oversight of how you will make that not to be live and dispense of that you would not object to that. >> we believe the select agent program would be the appropriate body to do t

cdc works 24/7 to save lives and protect people. we activated our emergency operation center in face of uncertainty about the scope and severity of this release. we understand how concerning this incident has been and our primary focus continues to be making certain people are safe and the anthrax materials are secured and ultimately disposed of. this incident raises serious and challenging issues. it is important to note however, that scientific research in laboratories is a vital component in the nation's defense against naturally occurring diseases and bioterrorism. this research is complex and sometimes dangerous. while it is not possible to eliminate all risk, those of us working in this field across the country and around the world must do all we can to minimize risk. here is what we know today about the dougway incident. there have been no suspected or confirmed cases of anthrax infection associated with the samples. persons at cdc assessed some risk and accepted treatment will have completed abt biekt and prophylactics yeste

and professional staff are at cdc. we take this incredibly seriously. >> i'm not saying you don't. but who lost their job? >> there are regulations and rules around the use and transfer of anthrax, live anthrax. this particular incident was about an exempted material which was not considered a select agent. and new actions will be taken to address it. >> what, you're going to put in some more policies? i mean by action, what do you mean? so that means -- >> for example -- >> for me what it means to me is the people responsible for doing this lose their job. >> for example before a material can be considered killed we need to have a validated procedure within the lab experience -- >> but to my question how come you haven't had that? >> in hindsight we should have had it. >> this decades. >> with the organism and the vurn about here we should have done it before. >> the federal government doesn't know what constitutes dead anthrax until this came up? >> they're testing the material in the laboratory to see if there is gr

>> cdc is completing that work. i think we are fairly confident that the laboratories have been notified to treat all of this as live. and we will get to all the laboratories where we they received the sample. it's just going to take some time. part of the problem is this prock is decades, ten years. we've got to make sure we've called everybody. i think we will catch all of the labs. i can't absolutely guarantee that. and i think the cdc is conducting the secondary and tertiary lab reviews. right here. >> i just wonder about how did it happen -- the failure, for example, anthrax was shipped to south korea, the base in the u.s. base? so i just wonder about how did it happen? and the second question is, do you have a measures to prevent delivery failure again? >> it was unintended delivery. and it was anthrax that was believed to be inactivated and not live and not able to be grown. it went to an air force base in korea. and to a laboratory on that base for testing there. and i don't think it ever went or would have

we actually collaborate on an ongoing basis with cdc. we work closely with usgs. we work closely with the department of interior as a whole. the money and funding we provide for wild bird surveillance, some of that would get to help support the testing that usgs and others would be doing and collection and testing of samples. we have -- we work with customs and border patrol, dhs fda. a whole host of food safety inspection services. we have an internal mac group within the department of agriculture across all agencies to help address this issue as well as the state agency. it is critically important. every piece of this is the mine feels there are issues with epa, issues with transportation, issues with a lot of these things. they must be coordinated. there could be issues with availability of water. what we use what we use for depopulation of birds requires water source for farming. you would not think you would want of water, but certainly and small rural areas you very well may not have an effective water source. you cannot take it out of the lake because it ha

until i saw it was the cdc. >> the cdc is usually very straight-laced and doesn't use words like that hoffman: if this is a really big public health problem, who's in charge of this problem for the united states government? can you tell me who's in charge? >> who's in charge of resistance? >> hoffman: of antimicrobial resistance and fighting it and it's a threat to public health, right? >> it is a threat. >> hoffman: so who's in charge with dealing with that? with coordinating it? >> well, i think that the issue of who's in charge of combating antimicrobial resistance speaks to the fact that this is a very, very complex problem. so there's not one single group that can take full ownership of solving the problem of resistance. >> hoffman: when i look at the department of health and human services, for example, i look at the assistant secretaries, there's not an assistant secretary who deals with antimicrobial resistance. there is for other kinds of health problems. it seems that this is a problem that hasn't actually registered in the high levels of the government. it's a crisis, you s

again, the cdc focuses on the public health aspect. we work with the white house drug control policy, santa -- sansa, and that's an aerie that -- area that i'm sure will be up-and-coming. host: what can states do? guest: states can work so that people have easier access to the program. at that way when some of comes in asking for prescription you can see if they are a frequent user. there are also some that may be outliers and maybe have some education around how often they are prescribing. states can also work with state medicaid around having safer prescribing programs and guidelines. washington state did this recently and it has already noticed a tremendous decrease in the number of overdoses, by having a guideline program around prescribing. similarly making sure that there is appropriate access and training around namoxil, making sure people have training. host: of you are on twitter says this. it will be interesting to see how society approaches the growth of heroin use. will we be punitive like we were with cracked? frank in new

jim carrey attacked the cdc in his twitter rant saying the cdc can't solve a problem they helped start. it is too risky to admit they have been wrong about mercury and thigh mare sol. they are corrupt. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think tonight. should vaccines be mandatory? go to pulse.msnbc.com/ed to cast your vote. we'll bring you the results later on in the show. for more dr. cory aber. what is your professional conclusion? is there risk in vaccines to the level where it has -- people have to be concerned about it being mandatory? >> well honestly, after doing research for the last 20 years in this field, at this point there are no scientifically-based studies to say that there is anymore risk in vaccination that would cause you to not want to vaccinate your child because of the risks of the actual diseases that are out there in the united states right now. for example, we're talking about the measles vaccine. measles vaccine is very important. but in california we also had a measles outbreak. we also had a meningitis outbreak. we also had a pertussis outbreak.

earlier this month, cdc released a report on heroin. it's important to realize why we are seeing this increase. it's because of opioid painkillers. people who are abusing opioid painkillers are 40 times more likely to be addicted to heroin. if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. it has the same effect on the brain, so people that can no longer access opioid prescriptions will look for something that is easier to obtain or even cheaper. by focusing on opioid prescribing, we can impact the hair when epidemic. -- the heroine epidemic. there are often consequences. as seen earlier this year in indiana and -- in stock county, the hiv epidemic, 170 individuals newly diagnosed with hiv because they were injecting opioid prescriptions. although this is an extreme example, it can happen in any community in the united dates. states are poised to respond to this and must be ready to respond. i wouldn't be here if i didn't think we can make a difference. i am very optimistic that we have the tools we need to have an impact to really curb t

two days later, after consultation with the cdc, all shipments of inactivated biological agents from dugway and the edgewood facility were halted. the very next day, we expanded that to include a moratorium on all shipments of inactivated anthrax material to and from all dod laboratories. on 26 may, cdc began an investigation into what happened at dugway and edgewood and three days later, i initiated a broader review of dod laboratory procedures and protocols associated with in activating anthrax spores to determine if this was a one-time procedural failure or if it was a more systematic problem in the department's biohazard safety procedures. i would like to -- i looked to frank to assemble a team. this was an expertise team that included representatives from the department of agriculture, energy defense, homeland security, the federal bureau of investigation, academia, and industry. they conducted a comprehensive review of all procedures processes, and protocols on the four laboratories that work with inactivated anthrax spores, and particularly, those procedures that were associat
