And they're especially worried the next pathogen will be much more deadly." https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/publichealth/122372

"But during President Trump's second term, the FDA has lost about 20% of its staff; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is down 25%. The CDC used to have 11 scientists tracking food parasites; now it's three."
