Kennedy Jr. over his funding cuts, saying the health secretary left Americans vulnerable to the fast-spreading \u201cexplosive diarrhea\u201d parasite.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3908\">ICE Attacker Revealed to Be a Military Veteran<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a scathing letter, the Georgia senator, 39, accused Kennedy, 72, of a \u201cfoolish and self-indulgent demolition\u201d of the CDC\u2019s Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, which had tracked the diarrhea-causing Cyclospora parasite until its surveillance was reduced from eight to just two pathogens in July 2025.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAnd now a cyclosporiasis outbreak sweeps the nation,\u201d Ossoff told Kennedy. \u201cYour foolish and self-indulgent demolition of critical public health programs puts Americans at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the U.S. typically sees about 250 cases of cyclosporiasis a year, more than 7,000 confirmed and suspected cases have been reported nationwide since May 1, according to Today. The parasite can cause watery, explosive diarrhea, as well as nausea, cramps, bloating, and low-grade fever.<\/p>\n<p>The disease has caused no reported deaths but resulted in the hospitalization of almost 100 people. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans are suffering from severe diarrhea and painful complications,\u201d Ossoff wrote in his Thursday , accusing the Trump administration of \u201cactively undermining food safety.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross the country, parents feel increasingly uncertain about how, and whether they can, shop safely for their families. This is unacceptable,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Ossoff demanded to know whether the pathogen surveillance network had been restored and why Cyclospora was removed from tracking in the first place. He also inquired about the status of investigations determining the source and scope of the outbreak, demanding that Kennedy answer his questions within 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3906\">Nancy Mace Declares Foul-Mouthed War Ahead of Graham Primary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More than four days later, Kennedy has yet to respond to Ossoff\u2019s letter, the Daily Beast has learned. <\/p>\n<p>The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to the Daily Beast\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, an anti-vax conspiracy theorist, moved quickly to slash federal health funding after President Donald Trump made him the nation\u2019s top health official with help from congressional Republicans last year. <\/p>\n<p>When the CDC quietly scaled back its pathogen surveillance last July, food safety experts warned that the move could leave the country less prepared to detect outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the work that I and many, many, many, many other people have put into improving food safety over the past 20 or 30 years is just going away,\u201d Barbara Kowalcyk, director of the Institute for Food Safety and Nutrition Security at George Washington University, told NBC News at the time. <\/p>\n<p>Federal health officials\u2019 search for the source of the parasite took an embarrassing turn this weekend, when the Food and Drug Administration initially said Saturday that cyclosporiasis cases had been traced back to a bad batch of iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, which supplies food to Taco Bell, only to reverse its position on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA announced that it had reviewed the initial analysis and found it was a false positive, though the agency\u2019s officials said Monday that they remain focused on lettuce from Taylor Farms.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3904\">Taylor Farms Visited White House Before Getting Outbreak Reprieve<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising Democratic star Jon Ossoff has eviscerated Robert F.
