6:57Now PlayingDr. Erica Schwartz was confirmed to lead the CDC as measles cases surge, foodborne outbreaks spread, and the agency struggles through deep staffing losses and collapsing morale. When pressed by Josh Hawley, Schwartz called abortion surveillance a “critical component” of the CDC’s work, raising alarms about what kind of data this administration wants collected and why.
