美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）新任主任埃里卡·施瓦茨在上任不足一周后，于首次全员会议上直言该机构面临严峻挑战1。CDC因裁员和员工辞职已失去超过3000名工作人员，相当于员工总数的四分之一以上1。施瓦茨承认国会拨款项目因这些人员流失而陷入瘫痪，员工士气也严重受挫1。
施瓦茨在会上表示，将通过"激进的透明度、科学严谨性和诚实沟通"来重建公众信任1。她承诺为CDC进行倡导，并表示如有必要会在私下与卫生部长肯尼迪提出不同意见，但不会公开表达分歧1。与此同时，CDC已成立儿童疫苗安全工作组，将在90天内向特朗普报告1。美国公共卫生联盟对此发表声明，呼吁"CDC工作人员和美国人民应该得到一位强有力、独立的领导者，他将遵循科学"1。卫生部长肯尼迪已解散了专家咨询委员会，并任命包括疫苗怀疑论者在内的新小组1。
Erica Schwartz, the newly appointed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, addressed staff concerns during her first large agency meeting less than a week into her tenure, acknowledging serious institutional problems facing the organization 1. The CDC has lost more than 3,000 employees through layoffs and resignations, representing over a quarter of its workforce 1.
Schwartz committed to rebuilding public trust through "aggressive transparency, scientific rigor, and honest communication" 1. She pledged to advocate for the CDC and indicated she would privately disagree with Health Secretary Kennedy on matters of substance when necessary, though she said she would not do so publicly 1. A task force focused on childhood vaccine safety has been established and is expected to report to President Trump within 90 days 1.
The staffing upheaval and leadership transition have created significant operational disruptions, with congressional funding initiatives stalled due to the scale of personnel cuts 1. The American Public Health Association responded with a statement asserting that "CDC staff and the American people deserve a strong, independent leader who will follow the science" 1. Health Secretary Kennedy has dissolved expert advisory committees and appointed new groups that include vaccine skeptics 1.
