Is the CDC in bed with big Pharma?

Ever since Wikileaks revealed that Big Pharma was caught spying on the World Health Organization (see: http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Big_Pharma_caught_spying_on_the_WHO), I have been pondering the question of the pharmaceutical industry's influence on the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). It has certainly been documented that various employee's have either received funding from the industry, or were previously employed by a pharmaceutical company. (*1) But, are recommendations for public health policies influenced by this money?

In contrast to most countries in the world, it is surprising that the US (via the CDC), , recommends that just about every citizen get the flu vaccine. The US is the only country that recommends people aged 50-60 get the flu shot. What does the US know that the rest of the civilized world does not? Perhaps it is how to get people who don't need the shot, to get it anyhow.

Putting aside Swine Flu, which does appear to be a threat to young children (and pregnant women), the Common Seasonal Flu can be tolerated by most adults, and is rarely fatal. And, historically, the fatality numbers (*2) provided by the CDC have been suspect at best (bundling Flu and pneumonia together).
