Fewer than half of Americans trust in federal health agencies like the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to do crucial parts of their job under the Trump administration.
Just 42 percent of more than 1,000 people surveyed in a new poll from the non-profit KFF think federal health agencies are effectively able to respond to infectious disease outbreaks. Furthermore, only 45 percent are confident that they could ensure the safety and effectiveness of vaccines approved for use in the U.S., and 46 percent believe that these and other health agencies can ensure prescription drugs are safe and effective for public usage.
