A former White House doctor has warned that Donald Trump’s recent actions, such as pausing CDC, FDA, and NIH activities, could allow dangerous diseases like Marburg virus—similar to Ebola—to enter the U.S. Dr. Stephanie Psaki emphasized that these measures undermine preparedness for unknown pathogens, much like how the COVID-19 pandemic began. With current Marburg cases in Tanzania, eight dead out of nine, and no vaccines or treatments available, the threat is real. The CDC has stopped working with the WHO, and Trump’s pause could lock the U.S. out of critical warning systems to detect and respond to such outbreaks effectively. Dr. Psaki stressed that this period is not the time to weaken preparedness but to act decisively to stop these threats at their source.
