One of the studies would reveal whether veterinarians who treat cattle have been unknowingly infected by the bird flu virus.

Another report documents cases in which people carrying the virus might have infected their pet cats.

The studies were slated to appear in the official journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report .

The journal has been published without interruption since 1952 .

The freeze is a reminder of how the first Trump administration interfered with the CDC ’s reports on covid.

The MMWR keeps the country updated on outbreaks, poisonings, and maternal mortality.

Frieden: Delaying or manipulating the reports could harm Americans by stunting the ability of the government to detect and curb health threats.
