RFK Jr., the Health and Human Services Secretary, told reporters Tuesday that a multi-state cyclosporiasis outbreak is under control — but at least 1,600 cases have been confirmed across five states and health experts warn infections are likely to keep rising. The framing creates a jarring contrast: the official statement vs. the epidemiological reality. The Guardian reports that RFK Jr. made this claim despite experts' warnings that infections will continue climbing, and The Hill notes that Ossoff criticized RFK Jr. for cutting CDC surveillance programs that track parasitic infections — which is directly relevant to understanding why case visibility and control claims may be diverging.
