BREAKING NEWS: CDC Cuts Leave Critical Health Services on Brink of Collapse
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has cut over 1,300 employees, including hundreds who were fired over the long weekend, as part of a wider effort to slash the federal workforce during the government shutdown.
Critical health services are now at risk due to the sudden loss of experienced staff. The cuts have left many without jobs, and some fear that essential functions will be severely impacted.
The CDC has been a crucial agency in responding to public health crises, including outbreaks and pandemics. With its workforce significantly reduced, experts warn that the country's ability to respond to emerging threats is compromised.
