I’M SORRY – CUTTING THE *EPIDEMIC INTELLIGENCE SERVICE* IS *PHASE ONE*???
DO YOU (the general “you”) KNOW HOW MANY EPIDEMICS HAVE BEEN STOPPED OR SEVERELY LIMITED BECAUSE OF EIS WORK???

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.
They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

No one at the CDC is “expendable” but how on earth are EIS staff *first round* cuts??
This is horrifying.
