An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Cuts at HHS will make America sick again!

61 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

The sweeping layoffs and leadership purge at U.S. health agencies like the CDC, NIH, and FDA are alarming and risk crippling the nation's ability to combat disease outbreaks, advance biomedical research, and ensure food and drug safety. Dismissing senior experts with decades of institutional knowledge across infectious diseases, chronic illnesses, vaccine development, and regulatory oversight is short-sighted and threatens public health preparedness. This brain drain will inevitably hamper outbreak response, slow scientific progress towards new treatments and cures, and undermine consumer protections. I urge you to reconsider this reckless dismantling of vital health infrastructure and rehire the dismissed personnel to preserve America's standing as a global leader in medicine and disease prevention.
