From Dr Tom Frieden:
“CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.
Until today.” -

Turns out, the DEI department had been doing all the work.

On a related note, are we back to the Trump vaccine being bad again?

LOL.
"I would never take a 'Trump' vaccine."
Yeah, that didn't age too well, did it?

Swaths of U.S. Government Grind to a Halt After Trump Shock Therapy
... Health agencies stopped virtually all external communications in a directive that risked silencing timely updates on infectious diseases. ...
CDC trackers on seasonal flu and bird flu had not been updated, and the agency’s flagship weekly report, which has communicated public health information for decades, wasn’t issued as normal on Thursday.
The administration paused the communications in part to make sure that new missives aligned with Trump’s executive order declaring only two genders, people familiar with the matter said. The aim was to nix references to “pregnant people,” for example, rather than pregnant women. Such language, aimed at being inclusive, grew pervasive across healthcare in recent years and has drawn criticism from conservative activists.

For good reason. Language has meaning. Still, this was a worse choice. If they screwed up a pronoun, yeah, they would rightfully get called out for it. But simply not reporting on time? That’s worse. It’s like they’re making DOGE, and the new public health chiefs jobs easier.

Let's hope so.
I think we're going to see a lot of foot-dragging in multiple departments.

Again, that’s a benefit to the reformers.

This made me chuckle, nice.
