Trump admin. is muffling CDC’s flagship health journal, report finds

A new report indicates that the Trump administration has significantly curtailed the output of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). Sources suggest that studies intended for publication in the flagship health journal now require approval from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was appointed to lead a CDC advisory panel. This intervention reportedly leads to fewer studies being published and potential delays in disseminating crucial public health information.

This situation is significant because it could hinder the timely release of vital public health data and research, impacting the nation's ability to respond effectively to health threats.
