CDC layoffs strike deeply at its ability to respond to the current flu, norovirus and measles outbreaks and other public health emergencies The CDC was instrumental in eradicating smallpox, identifying the causes of HIV and encouraging Americans to get the COVID-19 shot.

The Trump administration's first month has brought chaos to health agencies through mass firings, funding interruptions and communications freezes as the country battles not just the threat of bird flu but a historic measles outbreak in Texas and the worst year for the seasonal flu in over a decade.
