report, the cdc is in peril. yet it isor so important to our i national security that it was an urgent priority to step forward and try to understand what could be done. so in january of 2023, csis published a report building the cdc the country needs. there were many stakeholders and and experts who participated in this working group report, and one of the things that you'll hear today if you saw that report is that our leaders from the cdc have already taken steps to respond to some of recommendations in the a report. particularly two recommendations that specifically address global health issues. first and foremost, what really was the best way to integrate cdc's global health work with it domestic biosecurity agenda. and then second, what were the investments, the budget, the work force, the practical policy, etc., that cdc really needed to acquire in order to successfully fulfill its global mission. in the time since that report, there has been significant progress. i just want to fake a moment to highlight

we looked at the cdc and how we can strengthen the cdc and that -- there are things the cdc must do and those things are underway and it's encouraging to see the commitment, particularly in the global space, but i know there are other things going on. there are also things that need to be done on behalf of cdc. and those of us who are here trying to be advocates for science-based policy and security based policy, we really understand that not everything that needs to happen at the agency is within the agency's control. we need allies and advocates and people who can speak up and speak out about what a vital resource you are, not just the national treasure but the global treasurer, and stand strong on your behalf. >> thank you for sharing this. >> before we close, i would like to thank some people. first and foremost, steve morrison, who is the genius behind the csis bipartisan alliance for global health security and has been an incredible advocate for all things bio security and cdc. i also want to thank sophia and michaela, who have been the people who pulled this together and guided u

share was today. >> sure, well, cdc -- our mission is to protect health and improve lives. a small but mighty team and i will say that it is something where it has to be a team support. we are doing a lot of that work and we do have a lot of visibility but we wouldn't have that visibility unless we had partners to make sure that we have eyes, ears, people to be able to respond to whatever the health threat is and we've made a lot of progress over the course of covid. i think going into that we did not have the visibility we wanted. we didn't have the diagnostic capability. we've -- we've made a lot of strides but we have more work to do and i want to make sure that folks who are thinking about how do we keep our economy strong, how do we keep our workforce healthy, that they think about cdc and public health at large because if we don't invest foundationally in our health security, everything else can get shaky on top of that. so what we are trying to do at cdc is help folks understand how we are moving into this new moment, learning the lessons of the past, turning our dat

its plan to resolve deficit spending, the cdc is revising the certification of sf usd's march budget report from qualified to negative. >> and we believe that the cdc has gone too far in trying to intervene. while we know the cuts are being made, cassandra curiel, the president of the teachers union, says she and the district have made a lot of progress to find room in the budget. over $30 million of expenditures could be saved in areas that are actually pretty far away from students, and it's ideal that they do that. the cdc should have seen by this point that the district is making these efforts to do that. >> one of the restrictions already in place is a hiring freeze. the district has struggled to bring on new teachers the last few years, and curiel says halting the process is detrimental to students. >> there should be no classroom where a student starts the school year with no teacher. that's inappropriate. >> now, we did reach out to state superintendent. tony thurman's office. we haven't heard back yet. the union wants him to intervene. we spoke with cassandra curley elmore,

the cdc says it's tested only 40 people since march. the michigan farm worker was one of those tested, but with bird flu outbreaks in cattle now reported in nine states and dozens of herds, experts say the infection is likely even more widespread. >> we need to maintain testing, especially in our farm worker community, because that prolonged exposure to cattle does mean it's possible we may see additional incidental cases. >> reporter the cdc is warning states to keep up flu surveillance during the normally slow summer months. still, experts say the risk of a widespread infection among humans is low. >> so far, we're not seeing any signs of widespread transmission or any signs of human to human transmission of this virus. it's very much concentrated in livestock. with now a few cases, now being observed in farmers. >> the more widespread the virus becomes, the more chance it has to mutate and increase the risk to humans. protective gear, including n95 masks, are now available to farm workers. >> louisville police are expected to release

the cdc just released new information about bird flu viruses.joins us with the latest. >> reporter: sceptics are warning tonight the government is at it again, that setting the stage for yet another pandemic panic yet to come. then again some health experts say this is just a responsible warning so here's what's happening. according to the cdc bird flu continues to appear to pose a quote low risk to the public at least for now. however, and this is important cdc scientists claim they ran into roadblocks. investigating a human case of this pandemic potential virus just this year. in fact according to report published by new england journal of medicine epidemiologist from the cbc -- cdc were unable to access a texas dairy farm were a human was allegedly infected with the virus back in march. that prevented they say investigators from being able to determine just how the workers might have been exposed to the virus on that farm. what's more since then at least 9 states according to the cdc have allegedly detected cow infections from the virus. you

does not mean, okay, an agency of the ministry of health. diseases, and it took 7 years before the cdcnded, a doctor named allen steere from yale university came along, he was an epidemic intelligence officer, and he realized that it was tick-borne, but could not determine the pathogen, at this point the leading tick researcher in the united states, willeburgdorfer, a swiss-american tick specialist who worked in the rocky mountain laboratory of the national institutes of health, joined the investigation , it was here that he discovered, so the well-known version, he discovered that s. .. perachete causes this ring shaped rash, he said that it is what is causing the disease and you should not panic, just take doxycycline for 2 weeks and the problem will go away, but it did not go away, then my book found popularity, i began to study prehistory wondering what really happened , and people related to this story behaved unusually, as a rule, when you discover... a new dangerous disease, you say: oh, this is terrible, let us money, we investigate it, but instead they became more and more sec

pero como nos cuenta iveth sánchez, en el 2023 los cdc revocaron esas directrices.las tienen opciones siempre y cuando estén bajo tratamiento y control adecuado. como el estar en una terapia antirretroviral. los estudios son claros de vih y lactancia materna de que si la madre tiene una supresión del virus, o sea que no es detectable en sangre, es el riesgo. es tan bajo es menos de 1% que la mamá puede lactar. es un grupo de pediatras quienes se unieron a las directrices de los cdc, quienes reconocen que los medicamentos recetados de fórmula rutinaria puede reducir el riesgo de transmisión a través de la leche materna a menos del 1. la transmisión del medicamento que toma la mamá del para el vih hacia el bebé es mínima. y segundo, no hay estudios que indiquen que hay algún defecto o alguna señal de que le haya daño le haga daño al bebé porque es muy pequeña la cantidad que se transmite. pero eso sí, tanto los cdc como la academia estadounidense de pediatría mencionan que la alimentación de reemplazo con fórmula es la única opción 100% segura para prevenir la transmi

and for that reason, the cdc says the risk to the general public at this time is low. however, we are seeing this outbreak pretty widespread in dairy cattle herds. now, 67 herds have detected this virus across nine in states. still we only have these three detected cases in people. the cdc says the recommendations really to protect folks are mostly for people who have contact with potentially infected animals where that personal protective equipment don't have prolonged exposure without being protected for the general public, the risk is low. they say, but it's really important is to avoid raw milk and not pasteurized milk because they have detected the virus in milk. but pasteurization should kill it. i should make sure that the milk is safe. so that is the main recommendation right now from public health officials for the general public. and the focus really is to protect farm workers who could have exposure sure. guys. >> all right. make sure. well, thank you very much the this morning winner is spelled be ru hat. >> that's bells, the first name of spelling wizard,

the cdc is warning about a resurgence of m-pox here in the u.s.adlier variant of the disease is gaining strength overseas. m-pox also known as monkeypox spread amongst a mostly and bisexual men during an outbreak in 2022. a vaccine for m-pox has been released. but the cdc says the majority of the people at risk have not received it. the government has enlisted lgbtq influencers to spread awareness ahead of pride events this spring and summer. the cdc is also concerned about a newer variant of m-pox currently spreading in the democratic republic of congo, which is saying that it's spreading amongst people who may have direct contact with infected animals. about 1000 people, mostly children have died from this version of m-pox, which is an estimated 25 times deadlier than the variant currently detected in the u.s.. deadly thunderstorms hitting southeastern texas for the second time this month. now houston's mayor saying at least 4 people are dead. we have some video now from above showing us the aftermath. you can see here large trees, homes. they'r

this disease until my husband and i became infected, and what are the unusual symptoms listed on the cdcebsite in medical textbooks? completely different from what we experienced. i then teamed up with director andy wilson and we spent 3 and a half years researching the disease. and we learned that this is just a huge epidemic, so many people are suffering, and the treatment recommended by health authorities, namely two weeks of taking doxycycline, did not cure this disease, but for patients who have the same symptoms over and over again, antibiotics. they didn’t give us any more, then we wanted to understand what was happening with the disease. so andy and i called everyone at the centers for disease control and prevention, the national institutes of health, but they wouldn't talk to us. one of the discoverers even hung up. i said i just wanted someone to talk on camera about how this organism causes disease. but when the professor, you know, who discovered the disease hung up, it was just unusual. there was paranoia among the experts. so we decided to visit williburgdorfer, the retired

and the cdc identified the sample from bob stevens as anthrax. the centers for disease control has just confirmed the diagnosis of anthrax in a patient in a florida hospital. that was really the day 1 for us, october 4. most people knew nothing about anthrax before 2001. anthrax has been called the "poor man's nuclear bomb." it is only a few microns in size and has the capability to kill millions. anthrax is actually the disease. bacillus anthracis is the, we'll call it the microbe that causes the disease. so people use them interchangeably. anthrax is a spore-forming bacterium, easy to make, easy to weaponize. and the ability to grow up anthrax in the laboratory, turn it into spores, and then distribute those spores as a biological weapon, it can be devastating. but anthrax does exist in nature. anthrax is a very uncommon human disease in the united states. it's primarily a disease of grazing animal, cattle. you might see a farmer in a certain situation might be exposed to that. but you don't typically see people working at like the national enq
