Following the recent inauguration, Trump administration appointees have implemented a communications pause within the U.S. federal health department. This action has raised significant concerns among scientists and public health professionals during a time of heightened anxiety about public health policies. The health department's communications will now be subject to review by political appointees, affecting press releases, social media, and website updates. The new approach aligns with Trump's prior campaign calls for restructuring key scientific agencies, setting a challenging tone for the administration's relationship with the scientific community.
Trump administration appointees are asserting control over the US federal health department, pausing public communications and canceling scientific meetings during a critical time.
The new health administration's pause on communications aims to allow the new team to set up processes for review, raising concerns among scientists and public health workers.
