While Milwaukee continues to struggle, a stat report indicates losses that still have to come on Friday. Looking back on the national scandal of apples-sauce bags contaminated by lead, Stat reported that at least six of the CDC scientists and experts who worked on that national poisoning event have disappeared.
The poisoning were revealed for the first time in cases in Hickory, North Carolina, where officials relied on help from the CDC to detect the source. The research by the CDC then identified 566 lead children in 44 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, and helped to get the infected apple sauce of shelves.
If the poisoning had happened now, “we would not have been able to do the wide outreach to tell all the main programs of the state to look forward to this, and we could not have measured the impact because CDC is the one who does that about the state lines,” a CDC employee of the state told the outlet.
Furthermore, the main poisoning prevention program of the CDC is the three epidemiologists of North Carolina who collect and process data, collect and process data. The financing is now gained away in October and with the program now, it is unclear what will happen.
“It's hard to sleep all night,” Ed Norman, head of the Children's Environmental Health Unit on the Health Department of North Carolina, told Stat. He tried to ask CDC Staff what happens after October, but everyone he had been in contact has disappeared.
