Trump to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS
The choice will roil many public health experts after his years of touting debunked claims that vaccines cause autism.

I wasted 5 years of my life trying to prevent this from happening. I blame medical establishment, organized medicine, & academic institutions that looked at us like we were crazy & never joined the fight.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter
U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate.

This man's name should not be used in the same sentence with word "science" unless it is "anti-science".
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Is it any surprise the Trump team has decided to make it *harder* for aspiring nurses to afford nursing school?

One woman argued that you need the scientific establishment to enact change from within.
“But they’re seen as all corrupt by Kennedy and his inner circle,” she told me, who “want to punish them for their role in COVID”.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.
