An essay titled “The Consequences of Silencing the ‘Voice of the #CDC,’ ” published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, said the omission of information about #H5N1 avian influenza “raises concerns about the CDC’s ability to disseminate scientific data & analysis of #PublicHealth information in a timely manner.”

The authors, 3 fmr #MMWR editors in chief & a fmr CDC official, warned that the pause in publication of the MMWR “might portend changes” based on #political objectives.
