CDC Faces Leadership Crisis Affecting Public Health
Reading
The CDC has lost its director and other leaders. Experts say this is a big problem for the agency now. It may take a long time to find new people for these jobs.
One expert said the changes are like losing leaders in a war. The whole system at the CDC is now broken. This could cause problems with vaccines and disease control.
Health experts worry about the safety of Americans now. They ask if health information is correct and reliable. The White House asked the CDC director to leave her job.
The director did not agree with the President's plans. Four other CDC leaders also left their jobs this week. It will be hard to replace these people who were very important.
The changes at CDC were caused by a disagreement about COVID shots. Rules for who can get the shots are now different. These changes may make it harder for people to get vaccines.
