They've moved their research to Europe.

You mentioned responding to outbreaks.
One of the most important things that the CDC does is when something starts to pop up, whether it's measles or bird flu or whatever, is they send people to those areas and they contain those outbreaks.
If we can contain those outbreaks, they don't spread.
But some things, like think about measles, it is much more contagious than COVID.
And we are under vaccinated here in Wisconsin.
We're one of the least vaccinated states in the country when it comes to little kids.
We are just sitting here waiting to have a massive measles outbreak.
And that means that kids will develop life threatening infections and they'll have permanent brain damage.
It is just it's bad.
It's dangerous and it's bad.
But the CDC contains these things when they've got the ability to do it.
But when we defund the CDC and we have outbreaks and we can't get kids vaccines and all of the other things that they're doing.
That just means that we are going to be a sicker population.
And if we're sicker now, we're going to be sicker for the future.
