Your response refers to the mission of the CDC. That's a misdirect. No one said that the mission has changed. What the article states is that "the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it"

Also, every budget that Trump has proposed has cut CDC funding and the current proposal is to cut it by 16%. Fortunately Congress has interceded every time.

These are verifiable facts, not opinions.

The term "fake news" used to annoy me, until I realize that it always means "a truth disliked by Trump / his minions". (Minion: "a follower or underling of a powerful person, especially a servile or unimportant one"). I've been at peace with the phrase ever since, having a better understanding of the person who used the phrase and why they used it.
