Chapters: CDC, HHS, Public Health Strategy

April 4, 2025 at 6:24 pm: Status change: On March 12, 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a reorganization that reduces the CDC's authority over pandemic response and places certain public health functions under direct HHS oversight. This action limits the CDC's role in setting public health mandates, which aligns with Project 2025 objectives to restructure and curtail the agency's power.
Undermine trust in medical expertise
Pages: pp. 172–174
Chapters: NIH, Research Oversight
Quotes: “Federal research should reflect American values, not political correctness.”

April 4, 2025 at 6:24 pm: Status change: In March 2025, the Trump administration directed the Department of Health and Human Services to revise scientific research funding guidelines to exclude studies focused on reproductive health, climate impacts on health, and gender-based disparities. The directive describes these themes as 'ideologically driven.' This aligns with Project 2025's goal of discrediting public health data that does not support conservative policy aims.
End vaccine rules and promotion
Pages: pp. 169–172
Chapters: HHS, Emergency Preparedness, Executive Orders
Quotes: “The President must lead pandemic response to avoid future bureaucratic overreach.”
Project 2025 proposes removing autonomy from public health agencies during emergencies and placing direct control of crisis response under the White House. This includes appointment of a pandemic czar and authority to override CDC/HHS recommendations.

April 4, 2025 at 6:24 pm: Status change: On March 12, 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services announced a restructuring of the federal pandemic response hierarchy, shifting ultimate authority from the CDC and HHS to a newly created Office of Pandemic Preparedness housed within the White House. This office is led by a presidential appointee and can override public health agency guidance. The change weakens public health agencies'' autonomy and centralizes control under the Executive Branch, aligning with Project 2025 objectives to roll back mandates and reassert presidential authority during public health emergencies.
