Ossoff criticizes RFK Jr. for ending CDC parasitic infection tracking amid cyclospora outbreak
Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) has publicly criticized Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for terminating the CDC's FoodNet program, which tracked parasitic infections including cyclospora. The decision, made last year, suspended interagency tracking efforts involving the CDC, USDA, and FDA. Ossoff linked the termination to a recent cyclospora outbreak, arguing that the move undermines public health surveillance and response capabilities. The article highlights ongoing political tensions over federal health policy and food safety monitoring.
