Certain communication from CDC and other federal health agencies permitted, while majority remains restricted


Federal health agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, have experienced a pause in scientific communication, as directed by the Trump administration. This has impacted efforts to protect Americans’ health during a severe flu season and outbreaks of respiratory illnesses. The halt in communications was set to end on February 1, but there is uncertainty about what types of external communications are now allowed. The CDC has not published important reports since January 16, and some research papers have been pulled from publication. This has raised concerns about the suppression of important scientific data and facts. The HHS also instructed agencies to stop work on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, leading to website deletions and communication restrictions. Some websites have been restored, but it is unclear if they have been altered. While some restrictions on internal communication have eased, restrictions on talking to the media or presenting data at conferences remain. Overall, the communications blackout and restrictive directives from the HHS have created challenges for federal health agencies in fulfilling their public health mission.
