In a week marked by significant developments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) faced scrutiny over a drop in health alerts, while former President Donald Trump sparked controversy with a social media post. Simultaneously, scientific advancements were highlighted, including a new study on immune imprinting and the use of "external lungs" to sustain a patient awaiting a transplant.
The CDC's reduced issuance of health alerts has left some medical professionals feeling unprepared. According to NPR News (Source 1), the decrease has made it more difficult for doctors to stay informed about potential health threats. South Carolina State Rep. Rosalyn Henderson-Myers (D-Spartanburg) noted the impact on local responses to outbreaks, such as a measles outbreak in Spartanburg, S.C.
Meanwhile, former President Trump deleted a social media post featuring a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. NPR News (Source 2) reported that the post, which showed the Obamas' faces on apes, was quickly removed. The incident occurred during the first week of Black History Month.
In the realm of scientific advancements, Nature News (Source 3) published a correction to a previously published article on environmentally driven immune imprinting, which protects against allergy. The correction addressed an interchange of images in the original publication. Another article in Nature News (Source 5) discussed the use of an "external lung" system that kept a man alive for 48 hours until he could receive a transplant.
Further, Nature News (Source 4) reported on a study revealing that oil- and gas-producing regions in the United States are emitting up to five times more methane than companies are reporting to government regulators.
