The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Tuesday that it will be rescinding $11.4 billion in COVID-19-related funding from health departments, nongovernmental organizations, and international recipients.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and HHS will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a non-existent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago,” Nixon stated in a message to NBC News. HHS is now focusing its resources on addressing the country’s chronic disease epidemic, aligning with President Trump’s goal to “Make America Healthy Again.”
