In a controversial move, the Trump administration has directed federal health agencies including the CDC, FDA, and NIH to pause all external communications. The administration cited a need for review, leading to concerns over public safety and transparency. Reports indicate that the freeze on communications could potentially have crippling effects on public health advisories and scientific reports. Critics suggest this move may be an attempt to suppress information amid ongoing health crises. As agencies are asked to halt communications, fears grow about the implications for public awareness regarding health risks.
