CDC Official Who Handled Zika, Ebola Outbreaks Mysteriously Disappears Without A Trace

A Harvard-trained CDC official has been missing since February 12 after leaving work midway through the day due to an illness, prompting his friends and family to sound the alarm and issue a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the event of malfeasance.

The family of Timothy J. Cunningham, 35, grew concerned after the Harvard-trained epidemiologist and US Navy officer wouldn't answer texts or calls. Driving over 600 miles from Maryland to Atlanta, Cunningham's parents gained access to his house where they found their son's phone, wallet and driver's license.

Quoted by the NYT, his father said that Commander Cunningham had “a lot going on” personally and professionally, and his most recent conversation with his son had left him worried.

The tone, and the numerous exchanges gave us reason to be concerned about Tim,” Terrell Cunningham said. “And I don’t know if it’s an instinct you have because it’s your child, but it was not a normal conversation and I was not comfortable.”

Cunningham's car was parked in the garage, while his dog - Mr. Bojangles, aka Bo, was left all by himself. 

"Tim never leaves Bo unattended," Terrell Cunningham told NBC News. "He just doesn't do it."

“None of this makes sense,” Timothy’s brother Anterio told Atlanta Fox affiliate WAGA-TV. “He wouldn't just evaporate like this and leave his dog alone and have our mother wondering and worrying like this. He wouldn't.”

“I feel like I’m in a horrible Black Mirror episode,” Cunningham's sister Tiara told the New York Times. “I’m kind of lost without him, to be quite honest.”

Tiara was the last family member to speak with Timothy Cunningham before his disappearance - who said the last time they spoke her brother "sounded not like himself." When she texted him a bit later, she didn't get a response - nor did the rest of the Cunningham family.

Police investigating the disappearance have not turned up any leads, however they have found no evidence of foul play. “As of today we have been unable to locate Mr. Cunningham and we are seeking the assistance of the public with this case,” Officer Donald T. Hannah of the Atlanta Police Department said in an email to The Times on Saturday.

Cunningham - who was promoted to commander in the US Public Health Service last July, had worked on the government's response to both Zika and Ebola outbreaks. With two degrees from Harvard's School of Public Health, he had been named one of The Atlanta Business Chronicle's "40 under 40" award winners.

It's hard to speculate what may have happened without more information.

1) Is he dead in his car?  Anyone check?

2) Did he drive to work which means he did make it home since his car is there?

3) What evidence is there in his home that he got there and went to bed ill or did something else?

4) Was the door locked to his home?  Which implies he left under full faculties if it was.

5) Has there been a search within 1000 yards of his residence for a body that may have passed out from illness?

6) Is there any evidence that someone may have visited him or was in his home when he arrived?

7) Have all his friends and acquaintances been contacted and questioned?

8) Have his credit cards been used since his disappearance or money withdrawn from his bank accounts?

9) What did the neighbors see?

10) Have the hospitals been checked and his personal doctor contacted?

Emory's walk-in mental health lock-up facility is, literally, right across the street from the CDC (on Clifton Road). Once you're in there it is an information black hole, even regarding your blood-kin. Also, it is advisable to walk-in without your personal belongings (wallet, keys, etc.). They will also take your belt and shoe laces so that you don't hang yourself. 

 

I see him there.

He’s a scientist, so he has a very methodical mindset and an outgoing personality,” a family member said.

Dr. Cunningham was last seen by colleagues Monday the at the CDC office in Chamblee, Georgia. Colleagues said he was feeling sick, so he left work early and said he was going to finish his work from home. That was the last time anyone saw him and he hasn’t been heard from since that day.

In January, Dr. Cunningham shared his opinion that this year’s flu shot was behind the deadly outbreak of the flu, while warning that if his name was attached to the widely-circulated quotes, he would lose his job – or suffer an even worse fate.

Understanding the dangers involved in speaking out about vaccines in the current climate, we granted him anonymity in the article. However Dr. Cunningham told us we should go public should anything happen to him.

Dr. Cunningham was an expert on contagious epidemics, having been deployed by the CDC to work on the Ebola and Zika crises in previous years. He knows a suspicious outbreak when he sees one, and this year’s flu epidemic raised serious red flag’s for the CDC doctor.

Some of the patients I’ve administered the flu shot to this year have died,” the doctor said in January, adding “I don’t care who you are, this scares the crap out of me.

We have seen people dying across the country of the flu, and one thing nearly all of them have in common is they got the flu shot,” he said. (Boldface emphasis added, italicized emphasis in the original)

The story seems purpose built to inflame conspiracy theories.

That's one way to look at it.

Another way to look at it is that the apparent facts do not conform to conventional narratives advanced by establishment authorities, and that those facts might better fit alternative narratives derided by authorities as "conspiracy theories."

Also, since no-one else has mentioned it, there has been an upsurge in the past month or so of rumors relating to release of weaponized pathogens.  For example, there have been a series of such reports on moderately-reliable entertainment gossip site CDAN (search for posts about "The Church").

There have also been a raft of Q posts on 8chan alluding to corruption in the medical research establishment.

Who know whether any of it is true, and perhaps it is all a coincidence.
