An estimated 5,200 of HHS employees have been fired during the course of this week. Since the firings are ongoing, no final tally of their extent exists. At this writing, approximately 1,200 of the fired HHS employees were working at NIH, about 700 at FDA, and 750 at CDC.
The University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Institute last week was named the 73rd NCI-designated cancer center. Now, New York State has eight NCI-designated cancer centers. Only California has more—ten.
