Trump admin moved to terminate the CDC’s epidemic intelligence service officers — then revised the termination list and left them off, @lenasun.bsky.social + me report
But clear takeaway from Trump’s overall approach: U.S. is pulling back on infectious-disease efforts even as new threats loom

The reason the current federal administration wants to cut the VA is because it’s the closest thing to universal healthcare in the US -publicly funded, government-run, no insurance middlemen. In fact, racial health inequities, though still present, are less in the VA than in the private sector.
