Dozens of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employees were notified of their termination Friday, as part of a wider reduction in force across the Department of Health and Human Services.
The layoffs shuttered the CDC’s Washington office, according to a current CDC official and a former administration official. “Entire offices are being eliminated, including people in senior leadership roles,” one official reportedly told Politico. According to a court filing, HHS began laying off between 1,100 and 1,200 employees on Friday, with staff across multiple divisions receiving reduction-in-force notices.
Among those dismissed were officers in the agency’s Epidemic Intelligence Service, known as “disease detectives,” and Democrats are super upset about it:
Since pandemics are now normalized and sickness is everywhere, how exactly was the CDC protecting us from diseases? Seems like diseases were winning.
Diseases winning is, of course, very profitable for the governing class and their donors and their portfolios. Is that coincidental to their positions or the foundation of them?
Also, it’s not the role of the federal government to “protect” us from scary stories about novel diseases, especially when those novel diseases were designed and created by the resources and funding of the federal government (allegedly).
Finally, I’m disappointed in Liz Warren for giving her constituents the narrative equivalent of small pox blankets on indigenous people’s day.
