Thank you. OP is a liar.


I'm OP and I'm sorry, do you think I somehow got an article written about something I just made up? Is that how you think news works?

https://www.travelandleisure.com/cdc-vessel-sanitation-program-layoff-travel-impact-11716092

The entire full-time workforce of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) has been laid off, according to a report in CBS News.

The VSP was established in 1975 to work with the cruise industry to protect travelers’ health. The program undertakes vessel inspections, responds to outbreaks like gastroenteritis, and trains the industry on best public health practices. It is wholly funded by the cruise industry. Cruise lines participate on a voluntary basis.

The news comes as the U.S. battles a new strain of norovirus and cruise lines face an upsurge in onboard outbreaks. The VSP’s website currently reports 12 outbreaks in 2025 thus far, with all but two of them norovirus. In 2024, there were 18 outbreaks.

The layoffs are part of a wider culling of employees at the CDC by Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Although the full-time employees have been cut, 12 U.S. Public Health Service officers remain.


Go on a dirty cruise if you want to. We're losing our food inspectors, too, so it's not like we can just avoid cruises to stay safe.

Cruises are disgusting and Norovirus central to begin with. This really isn’t going to change anything.

Any health inspector employed by the cruise ships is just going to say that there’s no outbreak at all and there never was any outbreak.
