There’s a dream in the land
With its back against the wall

There are those who claim
This dream for theirs alone –
A sin for which, we know

I don't think people realize what an immediate impact this is going to have on outbreak response and containment.
According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."
“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””
