Origin: Former CDC Directors Warn of Urgent Threat
On September 2, 2025, nine former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning regarding the current leadership's handling of the ongoing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. They expressed concerns about the implications of recent firings and resignations within the agency.
The former directors criticized the actions taken by current CDC leadership under Director Kennedy, stating that these decisions could jeopardize public health responses to critical health emergencies.
In their statement, the former directors emphasized the importance of strong and stable leadership during health crises, particularly in light of the ongoing Ebola outbreak that has raised alarms globally.
The warning comes amid heightened scrutiny of the CDC's response to the outbreak, which has seen an increase in cases in Central Africa, raising concerns about the potential for wider spread.
