Trump's ‘blackout’ at CDC letting 'world's deadliest infection' enter US, ex-WH doctor warns against Marburg virus

Following Donald Trump's return to the White House, a top doctor has warned that the newly elected US President's “blackout” at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may allow one of the deadliest illnesses in the world to enter the United States.

One of Trump's first actions as president was to halt travel, foreign aid, and some external communications at the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute of Health and CDC for 90 days as the new administration gets ready to restructure the organisations. In addition, the CDC has been instructed to “immediately” cease its collaboration with the World Health Organization.
