“More than 3,000 scientists and public health experts hired to assist the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) pandemic response are being let go,” the Daily Mail reports.
“Their contracts are set to expire over the coming weeks across the US and they will not be renewed, as part of the country’s winding down of Covid spending.”
Here’s a better suggestion:
Abolish the CDC!
The corrupt agency was incorrect about everything pertaining to COVID-19.
They shouldn’t exist.
Period.
Out of 4,000 epidemiologists, communication experts, and public health nurses recruited by the CDC Foundation during the plandemic, only 800 are set to keep their jobs.

Cont. from the Daily Mail:
Staff set to lose their jobs expressed exasperation at a failure to renew contracts ahead of a looming ‘tripledemic’ of Covid, flu and RSV, the latter two of which are already wreaking havoc on hospitals.
Katie Schenk, a senior epidemiologist who worked in Illinois and Washington DC until this summer, said the loss was ‘detrimental’ to public health and they were shedding staff ‘like there’s no tomorrow’.
But the move comes as Covid cases and deaths continue to stagnate.
Despite declaring the pandemic ‘over’ just months ago, President Joe Biden announced plans to extend Covid’s status as a health emergency past January and possibly through the spring.
Some 4,000 workers were hired over the first two years of the pandemic to help ramp up surveillance and raise awareness of how to avoid infection.
But the CDC Foundation — an independent nonprofit created by Congress in 1992 to support the CDC — has not renewed their contracts.
Another $3billion in Covid relief funding for the next five years has been given to the CDC, which is being allocated to local health departments.
But it isn’t expected to be available until late November, when most contracts have ended. All funding for the CDC to tackle Covid was approved by Congress.
