Yes? As the CDC's only enforcement mechanisms are generally small teams in tyvek suits with fertilizer sprayers with bleach. Their primary function is public advisement and their employees are civilian.

So yes, CIA, FBI, IRS, NSA, military, Homeland security (tsa and coast guard), grb; but also Facebook, apple, Google, at&t.

Also just your local police when they're fed up with the fourth amendment.

As far as I know the cdc hasn’t dropped radiation in anyones tea or put a deadly poison on the door knob of anyone’s front door.

No one would do that, why would they do that? Next you'll be talking about poisoned underwear or some other random nonsense.
