If you've never heard of #cyclospora before, remember: "The #TrumpAdministration initiated major cuts to #PublicHealth in 2025. Pandemic-era grants to state and local health departments were cut by $11.4bn, hampering their ability to respond to outbreaks. The #CDC lost between 25-30% of staff. Within the CDC, a specialized parasitic disease team was downsized from 11 people to just three. In part, that’s because the group was partially funded by USAID, which was also decimated by cuts." Actions have consequences. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/28/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-us-food-safety
