The American public has higher trust in health care professionals than in public health institutions and agencies.
A particularly concerning though not surprising finding is a Particularly low level of trust in the @CDCgov (51%), the @NIH (37%) and the @US_FDA (37%)

In light of the very high fraction of US adults (71%) feeling we need to increase funding to improve US public health agencies, The above metrics regarding low trust in those agencies means we have a lot of work to do, and the public support to do it.
We should act on it.
