CDC can no longer help prevent lead poisoning in children, state officials say
On April 1, the staff of the CDC's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program was terminated as part of the agency's reduction in force, according to NPR. The staff included epidemiologists, statisticians, and advisors who specialized in lead exposures and responses.
The current administration's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, headed by the unable Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is based not only on junk science but on junk execution as well.
Real-world damage is occurring right now.
Exposing kids to a well-understood threat like lead poisoning is abhorrent.
