I fear this exactly. Failing to adequately prepare increases the likelihood of lockdowns. No one should want this.

EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org

This is why we continue to call out dangerous attempts to dismantle public health in a short comment section on our Tracking Report. In today's report, I expressed outrage over the recent changes in language about vaccines on CDC's website. A most dangerous development that must be undone!

But while our Tracking Report is an attempt to help people identify credible health information, independent expert analyses like ours can never be replacement for evidence-based communication and information from government health agencies. Independent analysis is necessary but not sufficient.
Today's outrageous report of political tampering with vaccine information on CDC's website is yet another reason why independent, expert analyses of health information is necessary. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/h...
