Trump/DOGE say CDC is full of waste and project 2025 calls for CDC to be dismantled. Let's talk about what CDC does. CDC not only responds to outbreaks. It also does fundamental work in chronic disease research and prevention.

More PROOF the Trump REGIME wants to KILL OFF AS MANY of US as they CAN! They want to repopulate with nothing but LOYALISTS! RETHUGS are the party of DEATH, HATE, GREED, DIVISION, TRAITORS, CRIMINALS, NUT JOBS and DESTRUCTION! The PROOF is ALL around us & EVERY DAY it GETS worse!
After the link between smoking and lung cancer became known, smoking rates in US adults fell 73% - from 42.6% in 1965 to 11.6% in 2022.There are many contributing factors including better clinical advice, widely available cessation therapies, taxation, social pressure, and marketing changes.
We can also thank public education and awareness campaigns, including the CDC’s Tips from Former Smokers campaign. During 2012–2018, CDC estimates that more than 16.4 million people who smoke have attempted to quit, and about 1 million have quit because of the Tips campaign.
Tips prevented an estimated 129,000 early deaths and helped save an est $7.3 billion in smoking-related health care costs. This is not wasteful. This is public health saving lives and saving money. https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/21/2/87
Love this. Also, the CDC and the NIH jointly fund cancer surveillance, which is how people know their money is actually working (because lung cancer incidence and death rates are declining).
do diseases not happen to all wackos bhind proj 2025 & all their loved ones? arent they destroying the world they live in too? or r they so insulated w their $ they have concierge drs etc?
Center for Disease Control; that sure sounds like an ominous waste of money. Only radical left lunatics want to control disease. "They start by controlling disease, then they want to control you. They put George Soros funded microchips into the vaccines."

What is #Trump doing to the #American people. He said he was going to make it better. Not just Americans but the whole world is in a big mess! #trump and his side kick Elon are causing a lot of heartache and grief for a lot people. This all can be done in a more appropriate way!
I think it’s time he actually got dragged out of the people’s house, and we can seize his assets, give it back to the people since our taxes propped his companies up, then we’ll tweet about it on X!
Is citizen’s arrest still a thing? Since our military and law enforcement folks that need to save us seems to be asleep at the helm, we might need to take action ourselves.
DOGE and P2025 need to be stopped ASAP. Every day they advance their white Christian Nazi-nationalist agenda, the more rebuilding will be needed in the future.
Felon45/DOGE want to dismantle the CDC because…science is hard? Sure, let’s scrap the folks tackling outbreaks, chronic disease, and, oh yeah, the measles resurgence. Meanwhile, bird flu is lurking, eyeing its big break. Maybe don’t gut the CDC? Just a thought.😳😏
It’s such important work for humankind. I don’t understand why they don’t trust science especially health related science.
Thanks for your dedication to making our lives healthier
Trump's f*cked up COVID-19 response. If they dismantle public health agencies, there will be no one around to advise him on what to do, and no way for the public to get information that contradicts his nonsense.
Get ready folks, bird flu has mutated to cows, only a matter of time it mutates to humans. Trump with the help of JFK will once again kill over a million of Americans.
Does the CDC also study things like the disease caused by PFAS or AFFF exposures?
Asking because the DOD releases annual reports on AFFF that i follow because I have been exposed to it at very high levels.
Because most flame retardants used in exercises are packed full of PFAS. Emory may have some health research. I am working with them now on the Michigan PBB contamination from 50 yrs ago. PFAS is in the same family.
The Fed might be bloated but there’s a lot of agencies that do a lot of good. They just don’t advertise it and don’t tweet about their work at 3am daily.
Public Health is emergency preparedness, connecting clients to resources for healthcare, vector surveillance, work on increasing health literacy, builds resiliency and sustainability/self sufficiency in communities, working with policy makers and hospital systems...

I just know it's in annual DOD reports.
