The CDC Library performs the behind-the-scenes work that enables timely, effective public health responses.

Without the library, the administration has placed a massive, unnecessary time tax on CDC staff, forcing them to spend hours searching for information instead of saving lives.

Where is the 700 rescinded number coming from? I know some media reported total number of staff in offices of 1 or 2 folks that had received a rescission; however, not everyone in those specific offices have been rehired.
