The Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR) is losing more than half of its staff as the Biden Administration transfers responsibilities to Trump, raising concerns about future pandemic readiness.
Health experts have expressed worries over Donald Trump's victory impacting pandemic planning, especially regarding his choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, given his skepticism toward vaccines.
The OPPR was perceived as vital for the federal government's pandemic response, making the impending loss of its personnel particularly alarming to those focused on public health.
Trump's previous actions, including dismantling a similar White House office in 2017, have led to fears about the government's preparedness for future health crises.
