More cases of H5N1 are occurring in the United States than in any other country. Pausing our health communications at a time when states are scrambling to contain this virus is dangerously misguided. This will make America less healthy and will worsen the virus’s economic tolls.
NEW: The Trump administration has instructed federal health agencies to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites, social media posts, according to officials and others familiar. Our story.

The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
