CDC leaves 600 employees amid wider HHS reorganization efforts

Around 600 employees have been abolished at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Fox News Digital has confirmed.

It comes as part of a major reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services announced in March. At that time, HHS stated that the CDC would reduce its workforce by around 2,400 employees, “with focus on returning to its main mission of preparation and response to epidemic and outbreaks.”

A spokesman for the American Federation of Government employees told Fox News that around 600 CDC employees were receiving the final ending notices this week and that the deductions are “beyond the agency, including the prevention department, EEO, FOIA, Financial Resource Office, Chief Information and Office of Chief Operations Officers, and many.”

Pointing to the march announcement, the CDC confirmed around 600 recent pruning, which also states that the reorganization would include administration for strategic preparation and response (ASPR) – responsible for the national disaster and public health emergency response – infection in the CDC to increase the coordination of response efforts. HHS stated that CDC shortage would be only 1,400, including individuals coming from ASPR – about 1,000 persons.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior is leading the reorganization of his department as part of the Junior President Donald Trump’s part of the initiative to “re -make America healthy”.

Kennedy said in a statement at that time, “We are not just reducing the spread of bureaucracy. We are getting the organization again with our new priorities in reversing its main mission and chronic disease epidemic.” “This department will do the taxpayer at low cost – much more – too much.”

On 1 April, HHS officials sent sorting notices to thousands of employees in CDC and other federal health agencies, which were part of the widespread overhaul of the department.

Many people have been on administrative leave since then – paid but not allowed to work – as prosecutions were played.

Last week, a federal judge on Road Island issued an initial decision, protecting employees in several parts of CDC, including smoking, reproductive health, environmental health, workplace safety, birth defects and groups dealing with sexually transmitted diseases. The ruling did not protect other CDC employees, and the trimming in other parts of the agency is being finalized. Termination was effective till Monday, the employees were told.

Associated Press reported that the affected projects included work to prevent rape, child abuse and teen dating violence. Employees laid involved in people who have helped other countries to track violence against children-an effort that helped to give birth to an international conference in November, in which countries talked about setting up violence-cut goals.

“There are national and internationally recognized experts who will be impossible to replace the CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention of Scientific Programs, Tom Simon said,” said Tom Simon.

Kennedy is carrying on other policy changes in CDC.

In May, Kennedy announced that the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women was removed from the CDC-inferior vaccination schedule. The CDC currently recommends what it says for “shared clinical decision making” for children between 6 months to 17 years of age that is not moderate or severely immoral. This means that the decision is left for personal discussion between families and their healthcare providers, but the vaccine is not considered regular.

Kennedy decided to fire all 17 members of the CDC’s Independent Advisory Council on vaccines in June and said he said “restoring the public trust in the vaccine” was the name of eight replacement in one step.

Earlier this week, the HHS Secretary exploded the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to go against CDC guidance, so that all children could get a full Kovid -19 vaccine chain at the age of 6 to 23 months.

Kennedy shared a screenshot from the website of the Association of Pediatricians, with the pharmaceutical companies Merc, Modern, Fizzer and Sanophy thanks to its top corporate donors.

“These four companies make almost every vaccine on the CDC, recommended for childhood vaccine. AAP is angry that the CDC has eliminated corporate effects in decisions on the recommendations of the vaccine and the CDC has returned to the health of gold-standard science and evidence-based medicine-based medicine,”
