Cyclospora's Lingering Shadow: Where Accountability Meets Complexities The cyclosporiasis outbreak, which has claimed over 1,600 victims in the United States, appears to have reached a turning point according to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. , who claims that the outbreak is "under control. " However, this assertion raises questions about the federal agencies' response to this complex health crisis.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under Kennedy's purview, have been criticized for their slow response in alerting the public and tracking down the source of the outbreak.
