The email said their duties were "identified as either unnecessary or virtually identical to duties being performed elsewhere in the agency." But the #genetic #tracing that the #CDC's lab performs is not conducted by any lab in the #UnitedStates or the #world….

While it remains shuttered, ongoing investigations of current #hepatitis #outbreaks have been stalled, not just in #Florida, but also in #Oregon, #Pennsylvania, #Massachusetts, #NewMexico, #Wisconsin, #WestVirginia & #Georgia….

The US now has >600 #measles cases in 22 states, acc/to the #CDC [& who knows if that’s being accurately reported]. That includes 481 cases in #Texas alone. The country has now reported >2X the number of measles cases this year than were reported in all of 2024.

The CDC says there have been 6 measles #outbreaks so far this year.

At the #CDC, 2 prestigious training programs were gutted: one that embeds recent #PublicHealth grads in local #health depts & another to cultivate the next generation of PhD lab scientists. But the agency’s #Epidemic #Intelligence Service—the “disease detectives” who track #outbreaks around the world—has apparently been spared, perhaps because of an uproar among alumni after a majority of its members were told on Fri that they would be let go.

Even Adults May Soon Be Vulnerable to ‘Childhood’ Diseases
#Outbreaks among the #unvaccinated are a predictable consequence of falling immunization rates. But even #vaccinated adults may be vulnerable to some illnesses.
There were more than 32,000 cases of #whoopingcough in #2024.
#Antivaccine campaigns often targeted the #MMR #vaccine, which protects against #measles, #mumps and #rubella. Experts tend to worry most about a resurgence of measles.

According to dr Bogoch, avian flu #outbreaks in the #US have already led to at least 44 human cases, though he said this may be a "gross underestimate." "We know that political #borders don't stop the spread of infectious #diseases and, of course, this can happen in Canada and elsewhere around the world," he added.

#US #vaccinations fall again as more #parents refuse lifesaving shots for #kids
US becomes more vulnerable to #outbreaks as #vaccination ratesfall into 92 percent range. Only 0.2 percent of all #vaccinationexemptions are medically justified.
Coverage for #MMR fell to 92.7% in 2023–2024
#DTaP coverage fell to 92.3%
Vaccination rates vary by state, town, zip code, and community. In #Idaho, for example, vaccination rates for the four key vaccines hover around just 80%
