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.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
