The Trump administration dismissed many CDC staff members today, including everyone in the Epidemic Intelligence Service, first responders to outbreaks.
This leaves us ill prepared to contain and deal with future outbreaks.
It makes America less healthy.

The 1st year class of Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) fellows is being terminated today. We don't know the fate of 2nd years nor the future of the EIS program. CDC’s 2-yr EIS fellowship recruits talent from across the world and trains MDs, PhDs, nurses, vets, and others in field epidemiology.
