Programs that keep Americans healthy, safe, & secure are being destroyed. Even if you don’t see it, public health is working in the background to protect all Americans. Public health is non-partisan, but it is being used to fight a political battle and promote agendas.

🚨 Update on CDC staffing situation. It remains fluid. 🌊
With a lack of transparency from HHS, it is hard to confirm the numbers and if any addition cuts are coming.
We estimate ~600 people were let go between Oct 10–11.
Grant us patience and grace, as we gather further details to share.

Statement from NPHC and FBF:
Late in the evening of October 10th, hundreds of staff at CDC received RIF notices. Entire programs were eliminated, including those that track important health statistics, handle communications to the public, & even more leadership across the agency.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

The CDC thing has me really fucked up. I can’t tell you how much stochastic terrorism driven by Covid disinformation has been a concern in every workplace I’ve been in since 2020. And seeing this play out, I’m realizing it just blends into “another day in the insanity!” for all of you. Fuck me, man.

This is a remarkable thread. Everyone should read this.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting.
There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities.
Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

The work goes on to make his dream of racial, social, and economic justice a lived reality. I’m committed to that fight.
