NEW: More than ‎20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found.

Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

    Combat deadly outbreaks’? Sounds more like fear-mongering and social programming to me. What deadly outbreaks are they even talking about?

    I am sure a favorite feature of severely understaffed agencies is it is easier for them to make up any statistic they want.

    Curious to see what this massive wave of health workers does next. I hope they're still able to positively impact public health, even if it's from outside of the government.

    I am convinced that POTUS will not be happy until he's made every American (maybe even every human being) is as miserable as he is.

    Killing expertise and competence in one fell swoop. He is re-constituting the dark ages and feudalism but with nukes and panoptical systems of control.

    When the Trump administration refused to reveal how many workers had left federal health agencies, ProPublica turned to a federal employee directory to quantify the impact.

    Here’s how reporters @pratheekrebala.bsky.social @anniewaldman.bsky.social and @bxroberts.org did it.

    This is the purpose of these cuts: They leave immigrants and the poorest among us incredibly susceptible to illnesses, viruses and pandemics. The wealthy have concierge medical care and don't give a damn about anyone else.

    These despicable people think we're all expendable. Not so. Fight back.

    This is almost like the opposite of what you'd do if you were actually interested in "making America healthy again"

    But, on balance he’s gotten a new private jet, a ballroom, and outfitted his residence with gold. America needed that!

    The VA has been gutted, too. My sister who works there was told 50,000 more jobs would be eliminated & now she has to do mandatory overtime. She gets yelled at by veterans every day who complain about slow service & it’ll only get worse. They’re just gutting it to make a case for privatization.

    "...less than five years after a pandemic killed more than a million Americans, scientists who study infectious diseases are struggling to pay for saline solution, gloves and blood to feed lab mosquitos." Thank your Fiscally Conservative friends who "held their nose" to vote for more tax cuts.
