News Further cuts at NIOSH including firefighters cancer registry

Among the newly terminated are those employees who worked for the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer. After CBS reported on those firings on Friday night, HHS pushed back, claiming that no CDC employee had been laid off and that the firefighter health and safety programs would remain “top priority” for the agency.

A source who worked for the firefighter registry disputed each of HHS’s claims, confirming that they’d been fired on Friday evening and noting that the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer had already been closed to new applicants. The agency’s website affirmed that the program was taken offline.

Bc fox news doesn't cover this. So theyll just say its fake news and flat out not believe itAnd if they believe it theyll just say thats not why they voted for him or it is in response to what Biden did and its really his fault. Or theyll ignore it and say at least hes stop men in women sports or some bS.
