This month's issue: https://bit.ly/35cjr0b

Our lead story this month covers the deepening outrage at the damage done to the CDC and the health of Americans from the failure to allow CDC to fully lead the COVID response. In addition we are publishing an unusually frank letter from a former CDC director and an open letter from more than a 1,000 current and former CDC employees highlight the breath and depth of the anguish. Other reports cover the proposal by a group of epidemiologists to reduce or remove Covid-19 restrictions to hasten herd immunity, and recommendations from the National Academy of Medicine on who first to vaccinate against Covid-19. Finally, read the announcement about our upcoming salary survey so your institution can participate. Lastly we have an upsurge in new positions being advertised. Happy reading!

1,044 Past & Present EIS Officers Sign Letter In Support Of CDC

"When this open letter was written, the COVID-19 death toll surpassed 100,000 in the US and 250,000 in all other countries combined. The devastation continues with an end not yet in sight. CDC should be at the forefront of a successful response to this global public health emergency. We urgently call upon the American people to demand and our nation’s leaders to allow CDC to resume its indispensable role."

CDC employee last seen 11 days ago when he left work early

If you missed this story in the latest issue of the Epidemiology Monitor that went out on Friday, please take a moment to read the note below and then share the NBC news post. It has been 12 days since Tim Cunningham disappeared and somebody somewhere saw some or knows something.

From our editor:
"MISSING: Timothy Cunningham, a 35 year old CDC epidemiologist disappeared suddenly after leaving work on February 12 telling his colleagues he was not feeling well. He could not be contacted by his family which was unusual. His car, keys, wallet and dog were found left behind at his home which is not normal behavior for him. Local news reports have additional information and can be viewed here: Fox 5 Atlanta News Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact 911 or call 404-546-4235. A reward fund has been established: Go FundMe Account

Cunningham trained with CDC as an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer and at the Harvard School of Public Health and worked as the Team Lead, Division of Population Health National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion."

Here is his CDC bio page:

A Rough Guide to the IARC's Carcinogen Classifications

[Editor’s Note: The vigorous discussion in the media about the role of bacon and processed meats sometimes confuses the existence of a risk with the magnitude of the risk. This chart helps to understand the classification system and thinking of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Communication about these risk topics is always a challenge.]

Today's big news has been the story that the World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified processed meat (including bacon, ham, and salami) as a Group 1 carcinogen. This places it in the same gro...
