Robert Kennedy Jr. has slashed staffing at the Center for Disease Control in his new role as health chief, expanding the purge of government departments conducted by President Trump and Elon Musk.
The newly confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services for President Donald Trump fired nearly half of the vaunted team of 'disease detectives' during his first day on the job, setting the scene for a slimmed down department moving forward.
The entire incoming class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) were reportedly told they are no longer needed as part of 1,300 layoffs at the CDC.
These staff generally investigate disease outbreaks both within the United States and abroad, and are highly educated and sought-after experts with doctorates or masters degrees in their fields.
'This will destroy the EIS, which is one of the absolute crown jewels of global public health,' director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Michael Osterholm said.

Is it any wonder that diseases are making a comeback in the US. Ebola in the US now and emerging viruses across the globe. Trumpist logic is to fire those on the front lines defending this nation from these diseases.
Americans will pay the price because of Trump and his administration of miscreants.
And no MAGAs, sticking your head up your backside will not prevent the next pandemic.
