April 6, 2025

These cuts could result in thousands of layoffs at agencies responsible for health and food safety in America. Dr. Ashish Jha is the dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health and the former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator. He joins Soledad O’Brien to explain how this move could have a negative impact on the overall health of Americans and slow research on diseases and treatments.
