Summary
Senator Jon Ossoff is sounding the alarm over Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to cut CDC’s FoodNet program — which tracks foodborne illnesses — leading to the loss of surveillance on the parasite cyclospora. With over 11,000 people sickened across 41 states, Ossoff calls the move “foolish and self-indulgent,” accusing the department of negligence and demanding accountability. While the CDC is now expanding its investigation into the outbreak — suspected to stem from produce in central Mexico — Ossoff remains unconvinced by Kennedy’s claims that the cuts were necessary to avoid duplication and that the outbreak is under control. He warns that weakening public health infrastructure during a crisis is dangerously shortsighted. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
