Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current global health landscape is marked by rising COVID-19 levels in the US, significant public distrust in vaccine policies, and the emergence of various infectious disease outbreaks such as Ebola in the DR Congo and avian flu in multiple regions. The upheaval within the CDC and the controversy surrounding vaccine policies further exacerbate the risk by potentially undermining public health responses and vaccine deployment. Additionally, misinformation and political interference in health agencies could hinder effective disease surveillance and response efforts, increasing the risk of widespread outbreaks.
