"If the U.S. withdraws from the WHO, it would severely weaken global health initiatives, disrupt pandemic preparedness efforts, and diminish U.S. influence over international health policy."

"If the United States is no longer a member of WHO, Americans around the world would be more susceptible to disease, but they could also carry it back to the United States and infect multitudes."

"It means we are going to see a lot more disease outbreaks become regional and global, and we will see more disease outbreaks from other countries coming into the U.S."

"The bottom line is that withdrawing from the WHO makes Americans and the world less safe."

"Public health disasters that don't have to happen will happen, because those capacities aren't there anymore [because of the US withdrawal from the WHO]."

"President Trump's decision to withdraw from the WHO could have life-threatening consequences for people in the humanitarian contexts where we work as well as in the US."

Will the US Withdrawal from the WHO Affect Public Health?

Michigan health officials confirmed two deaths linked to the cyclosporiasis outbreak, the first fatalities recorded in the U.S. connected to the microscopic parasite. Both individuals had "significant underlying" health conditions that may have been impacted by cyclosporiasis and dehydration.

Michigan has reported 11,234 cases — though not all have been laboratory-confirmed — and 193 hospitalizations in the ongoing outbreak, which has been linked to iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms from central Mexico. Taylor Farms issued a voluntary recall of the lettuce in mid-July.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed 6,707 laboratory cases of domestically acquired cyclosporiasis and is investigating more than 11,500 additional suspected cases nationwide. The agency has described 2026 as the worst year on record for the illness in the U.S.

Cyclosporiasis is caused by a microscopic parasite that spreads through food or water contaminated with feces and is not known to pass directly between people. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, nausea, fatigue and abdominal cramping, and the illness is typically treated with antibiotics.

Michigan officials said they have "growing confidence that the outbreak is declining," with new weekly case counts falling from around 3,500 to just over 2,000. A test manufacturer also reported a drop in parasite test positivity rates, though experts cautioned it is too early to confirm a national trend.

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/taco-bell-lettuce-supplier-linked-to-cyclosporiasis-outbreak">A nine-state outbreak has been linked to iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations</a>, sickening at least 1,947 people and resulting in at least 98 hospitalizations. The CDC says other brands, restaurants or distribution channels could also be tied to the broader outbreak.

A nine-state outbreak has been linked to iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations, sickening at least 1,947 people and resulting in at least 98 hospitalizations. The CDC says other brands, restaurants or distribution channels could also be tied to the broader outbreak.

The cyclospora outbreak has become a full-blown public health crisis, with two deaths in Michigan and over 20,000 cases nationwide — far beyond what the CDC's lagging numbers show. Contaminated lettuce from Mexico served at Taco Bell has already hospitalized nearly 100 people across nine states, and the FDA's false positive debacle only slowed the response. This is exactly what happens when food safety oversight fails to catch contaminated imports before they reach American tables.

The cyclospora outbreak is genuinely unprecedented, but the response shows the system working — Michigan officials caught the deaths, traced the source and are already seeing declining case counts. Experts stress the overwhelming majority of infected people recovered, and standard food safety tools like cooking produce to 158°F reliably kill the parasite. Alarm over supply chain failures shouldn't overshadow the public health infrastructure that identified, tracked and is containing the largest cyclosporiasis outbreak on record.

The cyclospora outbreak has become a full-blown public health crisis, with two deaths in Michigan and tens of thousands of cases nationwide — far beyond what the CDC's lagging numbers show. This is the direct result of mass layoffs and funding cuts at the FDA and CDC, which have gutted the very infrastructure that keeps food safe. Washington's food safety oversight has failed and Americans are paying the price.
