A week after the inauguration, the USA Rand Paul Senator from Kentucky published Flurry of Congressional Comboenas up to 14 agencies, including Nih and HHS. The senator said that the continuation of the process was carried out to “criticize the process that allowed these dangerous tests that could lead to a pandemic.”
In one neighborhood sent to the Pentagon agency, Paweł is looking for “all entries related to disclosure of informants or complaints about waste, fraud and abuse covering the origin of Covid-19, study research, research on anxiety or natural sciences or life sciences”, according to a copy of the request provided wire. He is still looking for financing provided Ecohealth Alliance by USAID and other departments.
An employee of one of the agencies with whom there is a call to a call says that he has already provided the senator tens of thousands of entries as part of previous calls – all that proves that their agency has critical work in tracking and entering an epidemic of infectious diseases around the world. And yet, as they say, they feel that they are still attacked by Paweł and other Republicans with an accusation that they are building an office. “It won’t die.”
Many sources that talked to Wired claimed that they are afraid that witch hunting can accelerate in the coming months. Speaking more, they are worried that America can destroy its ability to predict, survey and respond to the epidemics of infectious diseases.
“They are assumed that virological research is dangerous by nature and there aren’t really many benefits,” says Angela Rasmussen, a virologist from the organization of vaccines and infectious diseases at the University of Saskatchewan.
“They simply intend to completely decide on the science and our understanding of the world, and our ability to fight Pandems, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires and all the rest,” provides one of the researchers, “who is stupid as a rock. “
It doesn’t bother Kennedy. In at least two of his books, he characterizes virtually all virological work as a study of breeders. In a speech in November 2023, among the virusly anti-seal health group of health defense of children, whom he was the chairman before his interrupted presidential campaign, Kennedy swore “”Give the disease a break for about eight years. “
Consequences
This is a potential deviation from the research of infectious diseases and in the direction of chronic diseases when the US is in the face of the explosion of bird flu. H5N1. “Our epidemiologists are [looking for] The first case of human transmission to human is not even a needle in a haystack-it’s a needle in a pile of needles, “says a former CDC official.
Last Wednesday evening, a senior CDC advisor responsible for the response of the H5N1 policy, Erin Abramsohn, announced her resignation. IN Post LinkedInAbramsohn cited cooperation with her team through “chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation and reaction” and mentioned her efforts to create a backup of files before resignation.
Rasmussen and some colleagues also raced to archive huge volumes of government research, fearing that they can be completely removed in offline – as it was done on USAID and elsewhere.
A former CDC official adds that the new administration seems to change how vaccines will be recommended in public and how CDC can communicate the effectiveness of vaccines – especially in the face of sensitive populations. Like most US, CDC and NIH government agencies, they also received an edict to remove references to the initiatives of diversity, equality and integration on their websites.
“We had to go and scrub the language from question and internal and external websites,” says Ex-CDC. “If you can’t get it, you download the entire website.”
Sources inform Wired that this language edict covers current research. Scientists were forced to search their questionnaires and edit their already published articles to remove respect for people or transgender people.
“I think we’re really worried,” says a former CDC official, “About how many damage that will be caused, which we cannot undo.”
