Split the CDC into two separate agencies
What the document says“The CDC should be split into two separate entities housing its two distinct functions.”
The chapter proposes a national epidemiological agency responsible only for publishing data, required by law to publish everything gathered from states and other sources, and a separate public health agency with what it calls a severely confined ability to make policy recommendations, with a firewall between them.
What the document actually says“The CDC should be split into two separate entities housing its two distinct functions.”
The CDC does two different jobs. It should be split into two agencies.
The CDC gathers data on disease. It also gives health advice. The book says one body should not do both. It wants two separate agencies.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed splits the CDC. EO 14407 acts on the recommendation side of the agency by directing a review and update of the childhood vaccine schedule, but it creates no separate epidemiological agency, imposes no duty to publish everything gathered from the states, and builds no firewall between data publication and policy recommendation. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
