Two critical labs at the #CDC were inexplicable targeted for closure in April. The #STD & viral #hepatitis laboratories are among the parts at the agency where terminations have been rescinded. https://www.statnews.com/2025/06/16/cdc-cuts-reversed-two-renowned-laboratories-targeted-by-doge-will-continue-work/
Africa: Joint Action Plans Launched to Tackle Viral Hepatitis in Africa: [Africa CDC] Considering the general decline in funding for research and development, Africa CDC, in collaboration with the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) and the African Viral Hepatitis Action Group (AVHAG), has developed a capacity-buildingprogramme for hepatitis elimination and advocacy. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLN3Vj #Africa #Hepatitis #HealthAdvocacy #PublicHealth #ResearchAndDevelopment

Hepatitis A is spreading rapidly in the Czech Republic.
The country recorded 450 cases and six deaths from hepatitis A in the first four months of 2025, compared with 636 cases and two deaths all of last year.
But Czech health officials said the actual number of infections is likely much higher because of how difficult it is to track the spread of the virus, which causes liver inflammation that can be fatal in rare cases.
Hepatitis B and C prevention should be prioritised. Hepatitis B and C are infections of the liver that can cause serious complications and even death if left undiagnosed or untreated. They cost our healthcare system dearly, with the price tag of just one liver transplant exceeding $130,000. #hepatitis #vaccines #prevention #cleanneedles #supervisedconsumption https://www.thespec.com/opinion/contributors/we-can-prevent-hepatitis-earlier-or-pay-for-it-later/article_c6b13a67-617f-5195-bb8f-e354a342ba06.html
#Trump’s proposal slashes the #NIH #budget to $27B from ~$48B. The budget doc delivers a duplicitous rebuke to NIH, saying: “NIH has broken the trust of the American people w/wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research & the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health.” [written from Bizarro World]
The budget purports to refocus the #CDC on #infectious #diseases, but slashes funding for viral #hepatitis, #HIV & #STDs, lumping them into a single program at $300M.
🇪🇺 @ecdc.europa.eu sounds alarm on #PublicHealth
“Despite being preventable, every year, over 57 000 people in the EU die from #AIDS, #TB & #hepatitis — a high toll for a continent with available resources, knowledge and effective tools for prevention and control.”

Chiara Eisner reports on how, with a hepatatis C outbreak now occurring in multiple states, the CDC under the Musk-Trump regime is shuttering the one lab that could monitor, report on, and help us deal with this outbreak:
"Ongoing investigations of current hepatitis outbreaks have been stalled, not just in Florida, but also in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Georgia."

"The [Division of #Viral #Hepatitis] Laboratory Branch had the highest degree of viral hepatitis expertise of any #PublicHealth laboratory in the world," wrote Scott Becker, the assn's CEO. "Their loss eliminated critical national testing services that do not exist anywhere else within the #HHS agencies."
As of April 16, the assn had not received a response from #RFKJr, Becker said.

2 days after the lab's scientists received their reduction in force emails, #HHS Secy #RFKJr acknowledged that ~⅕ of the cuts at HHS were made *unintentionally* & some people would be offered their jobs back.
On April 4, the Assn of #PublicHealth Laboratories sent a letter to RFKJr urging HHS to reinstate all personnel in the Division of #Viral #Hepatitis & at the Division of #STD Prevention, another lab at the #CDC that was shuttered.
…Although 4 new samples have already arrived at the lab & 3 more were waiting in #Florida to be sent, none have been tested by the #CDC. Epidemiologists still at the CDC have been trying to find another place that can do the tests but have been unsuccessful….
…w/o the CDC's scientists to test the genetic material, it will be harder for epidemiologists to confirm whether people w/ #hepatitis C were infected in the same doctor's office or somewhere else where the #virus could still be spreading….
The email said their duties were "identified as either unnecessary or virtually identical to duties being performed elsewhere in the agency." But the #genetic #tracing that the #CDC's lab performs is not conducted by any lab in the #UnitedStates or the #world….
While it remains shuttered, ongoing investigations of current #hepatitis #outbreaks have been stalled, not just in #Florida, but also in #Oregon, #Pennsylvania, #Massachusetts, #NewMexico, #Wisconsin, #WestVirginia & #Georgia….
But on April 1, the #outbreak investigation was brought to a halt. All 27 of the lab's scientists received an email from the #HHS informing them that they were losing their #jobs. Like thousands of other employees who received similar emails that day, the scientists were told they would be placed on administrative leave until June 2, after which they would no longer work for the #CDC.

The scientists at the lab knew what they were doing. Quickly, they analyzed the blood from #Florida using their custom software & found that 9 cases were genetically linked to the same pain clinic, where it was later discovered that a doctor was improperly reusing injection vials. By March, ofcls in FL had restricted the doctor's #medical license to limit the spread of the #virus & packaged new patient samples to send to the #CDC for testing…
The #hepatitis C #virus, which is spread through contact w/infected blood & can lead to #deadly liver #cancer, is notoriously hard to identify. But if anyone could understand what was #happening in FL, it would be the Division of #ViralHepatitis in the #CDC's HQ.
Using samples from the lab's collection of nearly 1M frozen specimens, scientists helped make the initial discovery of the #HepatitisC virus in the 1980s. In 2020, that #research was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Medicine.

In the middle of a #hepatitis #outbreak, #CDC shutters the one lab that could help
After people started testing positive for #HepatitisC in a coastal #Florida town in December, state ofcls collected blood from patients, wrapped their specimens in dry ice & mailed them straight to the CDC in ATL, GA.
