Trump Administration Lays Off CDC’s EIS Workers, Threatening Science And Public Health

More than a thousand (1300) test workers at the Disease Control Center It is left By the Trump administration, about 45 % of all test workers at the Disease Control Center.

The Disease Control Center employs 12,000 individuals, with thousands of test workers, most of whom work annually or less for the center. Workers’ demobilization occurs amid huge discounts and cost saving, Trump president is trying to implement to reduce inflation and increase government efficiency.

Among those who have been developed All fifty -year officers From the epidemiological intelligence service at the Center for Disease Control, and possibly some second -year officers. EIS, established in 1951, recruits some of the brightest public health leaders in a two -year program to train health care professionals to determine the outbreak of diseases and respond to it.

EIS employees are among the brightest public health workers on the front lines, and many of them with a master’s and doctorate degree that protects health in America and the world. HistoricallyThese workers responded to public health threats such as E. Coli and Emberbreaks, helped to spread Ebola in Nigeria from 2014-216, as well as investigating the source of many diseases and outbreaks in America and all over the world.

Below are some of the ways that workers’ demobilization threatens science and public health.

It hinders the disease monitoring

EIS officers historically identified important health threats such as Covid-19 and Zika. Their experience allows the rapid response to emerging infectious diseases, which ultimately prevents a large -scale transmission. The front lines workers will have severe consequences for public and global health, and it will hinder the ability of the Disease Control Center to respond to the outbreak in a timely manner.

This comes at a time when there is no shortage of public health threats. Currently, the influenza in America rises, reaching 23 million visits to the influenza hospital and at least 370,000 hospitals, he said CDC. In addition, bird flu is spread in an indisputable manner in animals and killing a man in Louisiana. Ebola’s outbreak was also reported in Africa. America and the world are in urgent need of qualified public health practitioners who can manage all these public health threats.

It hinders the development of public health leaders

The EIS Fellowship is widely considered an elite health program that develops leaders, Many of them It serves the center of control over the diseases themselves or continues to become leaders in state health departments. The type of expertise needed to deal with general health emergencies and threats in the “fly” cannot be developed. We don’t just expect people to wake up and become doctors, lawyers or engineers. These types of professions take skill and time and often require years of advanced education. Without official training in important fellowship programs such as EIS, the United States may face a long -term deficit for qualified public health professionals who have been specifically trained to investigate diseases.

Data analysis settlement

EIS employees play a vital role in collecting and interpreting scientific data, which often informs the public health policy and allocate life -saving resources. With fewer workforce and resources, data quality and timing may be obstructed, which leads to an optimal level of health threats. Science flourishes through evidence based on evidence and evidence -based interference.

We live in an era in which misinformation and misleading information is spread, especially with the ease that spreads through social media. It is more important, more than ever, that EIS officers enjoy supporting, interpreting and making important decisions based on scientific data.

Increased healthcare costs

Despite the intention of these workers to reduce costs, the launch of CDC workers, especially EIS employees, can increase the costs contradictory.

What happens when there is a possible outbreak of infectious diseases that leads to a significant transmission throughout the population? This may require more emergency room visits, more doctors who work for long hours to care for patients and more life -saving interventions to be implemented. All this costs money due to hospitals and treatments. CDC and EIS staff can completely reduce the long -term costs by early detection and prevent many possible threats to public health.

Since President Trump took office, Kamel Aesthetic view Public and global health has changed significantly. These discounts for healthcare employees not only reflect cost savings, but rather a threat to general science and health. It is indispensable to the experience of the Center for Disease Control and EIS employees in protecting and protecting health for people all over the world. Without them, humanity is less ready against future global health threats and remains progress in science and health.
