Tuesday, July 02, 2002The current state of affairs concerning moving some CDC functions under the umbrella of Homeland Security: it was his opinion that the stockpile of vaccines/medications might be one of the few areas transferred under the Homeland Security agency. A problem with transferring CDC functions over to homeland security is that many of the people working on bioterror issues have not been full-time staffers in that field of work; rather they may work on bioterror issues quarter time or half time. Consequently, you can't just move the bodies over to Homeland Security without signficantly depleting the staff capacity in other areas at the CDC. Looks like the turf wars are beginning. posted by Sydney on 7/02/2002 05:44:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
