TLDR

ProPublica found over 20,500 federal health workers were cut, impacting CDC, NIH, and FDA. Cuts contradict administration priorities, risking public health and research.

An analysis reveals deep cuts to U.S. federal health agencies, contradicting claims of only trimming bureaucracy. Key agencies like the CDC and FDA have lost over 15% of their staff, including thousands of scientists and support personnel.
