Early one morning in April, John Weiser checked his email, worried that a colleague at the Division of HIV Prevention at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was on the list for another round of firings. That's when he found his own termination notice. Weiser, a 14-year CDC veteran who ran the agency's Medical Monitoring Project, a surveillance system that's the sole source of nationally representative data on people with HIV, had been suffering along with everyone else at the health agency due to Elon Musk's DOGE cuts.
