"Under Donald Trump, the United States federal government has now stopped diagnostic testing for rabies [and] for mpox. Remember the mpox or monkeypox outbreak that was so scary? They've stopped testing for that."
"Weakening federal infrastructure risks blinding the country to emerging outbreaks. Testing and surveillance are not abstract systems but the front line of response, particularly for diseases that can spread quickly through vulnerable communities."
Rachel Maddow warned of heightened global conflict due to weakened U.S. government systems under Trump. She highlighted the CDC's halting of diagnostic testing for diseases like rabies and mpox, emphasizing the risks of inadequate public health infrastructure. Dr. Demetre Daskalakis noted that weakened federal systems could hinder responses to emerging outbreaks, stressing the importance of rapid testing and surveillance in managing public health crises.
