Who ever thought Trump would actually drain the swamp, including at the Centers for Disease Continuance? Wow. This is fascinating. Millions of lives could be saved, and millions of little boys spared the nightmare of autism caused by vaccines. Trump is repeatedly saying his most famous line, “You’re fired!” and the vax shills at the CDC are dropping like flies.
Roughly 600 employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been officially terminated as part of a restructuring initiative led by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., under President Donald Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. The layoffs follow a federal court ruling that permitted portions of the administration’s reorganization plan to move forward after months of legal disputes.
The terminations are part of a broader effort announced in March to cut approximately 2,400 positions across the CDC. Officials said the final net reduction will be about 1,400, as some staff will be transferred from the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to strengthen emergency coordination under the CDC.
According to the American Federation of Government Employees, the 600 layoffs touched multiple divisions, including the Office of Financial Resources, Equal Employment Opportunity, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office, Division of Violence Prevention, and the offices of the chief information and chief operating officers.
Rationale and Defense of the Plan
Kennedy defended the restructuring as essential to restoring the CDC’s original mission of preparing for and responding to epidemics and outbreaks. “We aren’t just reducing bureaucratic sprawl,” he said when the plan was announced. “We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic.”
The administration has framed the cuts as a way to streamline the CDC, reduce redundancy, and improve focus on urgent public health challenges rather than broad social issues.
Legal and Program Impacts
Employees had been in limbo since April, when they were placed on paid administrative leave while lawsuits challenged the layoffs. A federal judge in Rhode Island issued a preliminary ruling shielding certain CDC divisions — including reproductive health, smoking, environmental health, workplace safety, birth defects, and sexually transmitted disease programs — from the cuts. Other divisions, however, were not protected, leading to finalized layoffs effective this week.
Programs affected include those addressing sexual violence, child abuse, and teen dating violence. Tom Simon, a retired senior director from the CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention, warned that the loss of seasoned experts could severely undermine research and prevention efforts: “There are nationally and internationally recognized experts that will be impossible to replace.”
Broader Context and Policy Shifts
The terminations occurred less than two weeks after a violent attack on the CDC’s Atlanta campus, where a gunman fired more than 180 rounds, killing a police officer.
Kennedy has advanced additional policy changes at the CDC since taking office. In May, he removed the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children and pregnant women from the recommended immunization schedule, shifting to a model of “shared clinical decision-making” between families and providers. In June, he dismissed all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), appointing eight replacements to “restore public trust in vaccines.”
Earlier this week, Kennedy also criticized the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for recommending COVID-19 vaccination for young children, accusing the group of being influenced by pharmaceutical donors.
A Historic Shift
The combination of large-scale layoffs, structural changes, and sweeping vaccine policy revisions marks one of the most significant transformations of the CDC in decades. Supporters argue the moves will refocus the agency on its core mission, while critics warn of weakened capacity in critical areas of public health and the loss of irreplaceable expertise.
