美国疾病控制与预防中心本周三向其数据库新增第三例麻疹死亡病例1,但以隐私法为由拒绝公布该死亡病例发生的州份1。这一做法引发了专家的不满。专家认为披露州名信息不存在隐私问题,且这类信息对公众了解正在加速的疫情至关重要1。
当前美国麻疹疫情形势严峻。今年麻疹确诊病例已达4410例,近一周内增长8%1。在宾夕法尼亚州,麻疹病例数已上升至1,317例,克劳福德县近日首次发现病例2。疫情扩散的同时,CDC在信息披露方面的表现引发专家警惧,多名专业人士对该机构日益缺乏透明度表示担忧1。
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added a third measles fatality to its public dashboard this week but declined to reveal the state where the death occurred, citing privacy law restrictions 1. Experts have voiced concern over what they characterize as diminishing transparency at the agency, arguing that disclosing the state of occurrence poses no privacy violations and is essential for the public to understand the accelerating outbreak 1.
The measles situation in the United States has deteriorated significantly, with confirmed cases reaching 4,410 this year and rising by 8 percent within a single week 1. Pennsylvania has been particularly affected, reporting 1,317 cases with Crawford County recording its first confirmed case 2. The CDC's decision to withhold geographic details about deaths has amplified expert criticism of the agency's reduced openness in communicating outbreak information to the public 1.
