Trump’s deep public health cuts hinder response to record US cyclosporiasis outbreak
"As soon as Michigan detected the first sign of cyclosporiasis cases in late June, health officials swung into action, notifying federal agencies and releasing a notice on 1 July ahead of the holiday weekend alerting home cooks and commercial kitchens alike to the risks of potentially contaminated produce. They worked through the holiday weekend and haven’t had a day off since.
Even so, cyclosporiasis can take weeks to appear, which means officials in Michigan can’t tell yet whether their warnings have helped.
And the outbreak is spiraling amid sharp funding cuts to state and local public health departments after decades of chronic underinvestment.
State and local health departments have suffered layoffs and hiring freezes amid funding delays, cuts and uncertainty, while federal agencies like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have hemorrhaged staff and expertise under the second Trump administration."
