In 5 years, COVID-19 has impacted nearly every aspect of life. Although tens of thousands of cases continue to occur each week, the world’s top public health agencies have considered the pandemic phase of COVID-19 to be over for years.

The CDC on Thursday published its famed Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for the first time since the Trump administration ordered the nation’s various health agencies to freeze public communications.

Niger became the first African country to eliminate the parasitic infection onchocerciasis — also known as river blindness — and the fifth worldwide, according to WHO.

The CDC’s removal of online resources related to HIV, STIs and other health topics following a Trump administration order to scrub references related to “gender ideology” has alarmed experts, who say it threatens public health.

On Wednesday, the Senate will hold the first of two scheduled hearings to consider the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the nation’s health care apparatus as HHS secretary.

A 90-day review of U.S. foreign aid spending ordered by President Donald J. Trump has halted global health programs, including the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the President’s Malaria Initiative.

The CDC’s primary medical journal for disseminating public health information went unpublished this week — seemingly for the first time ever — amid a communications freeze issued by HHS to the nation’s various health agencies.

The vast majority of people in a study with long COVID had experienced multiple SARS-CoV-2 infections over the course of a 4-year period, researchers reported.

President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from WHO, complaining that the agency has unfairly demanded too much in funding.

Nearly one in 20 people who had a SARS-CoV-2 infection go on to experience myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, an NIH-funded study showed.
