Today, thousands of health workers at the CDC and FDA lost their jobs, effective immediately. People are literally finding out if they were fired at security when they try to badge in. It's cruel and unnecessary, which is the point.

My comment on the #Trump proposal to withdraw the #US from the #WHO and why it’s bad for #publichealth in @devex www.devex.com/news/can-the...
