Now he's delegating that job to RFK Jr.

It won’t be them nor their family and friends so they think.

Just like they don’t care about women and infant morality from Abortion bans.

They gave him full control of Congress so that he would have no pushback there. Given the blatant partisanship of the Supreme Court, he may well have little or no pushback there. Whoever becomes Secretary of Defense will have one job—get rid of all military leaders loyal to the Constitution and democratic governance and replace them with people who will follow Trump’s every order without question, no matter how crazed or illegal.

The media is still treating Trump as a normal president and keeping their heads in the sand about what he obviously plans to do.

It’s a bit frightening to think that this is the only safeguard left in the federal government.

RFK is a font of half-truths.

They have a great website. They also oversee and warn about recalls, everything from dog food and nutraceuticals to impurities in pharmaceuticals.

you'd better make sure there's no gasoline on your clothes."

Part of terrorizing and weakening the country.

Trump killed 1 million people during covid.
Probably trying to break his old record.

It's a FEATURE, not a BUG.

I am a lymphoma survivor; I was first diagnosed in 1990; I am in my third remission.

It returned in 2019.
I went through 4 different type of treatments over 2 years. All failed.
The 5th treatment was successful.

For me to reach, remission, a minimum of 3 things had to happen.

The ACA was approved in 2010 giving me lifetime limits protections.
The drug I used to achieved remission received fast-track approval by FDA in 2020.
My healthcare provider successfully appealed denial of same drug by my insurer.

Trump and his appointees put me at risk by at least 2 levels:
Affordable Care Act
Food and Drug Administration

RFK Jr has no business near the FDA.

threats to national health and epidemic response systems.

The point is to throw as many monkey wrenches as possible into national health systems.

Here we go again.

How many deaths from Covid could be attributed to Trump, his administration, and their policies? It will come of no surprise that a new Trump administration will "end up killing people".

Good Lord, she's an optimist, eh?

Period

If all of their stupid ideas were to be implemented, they would call it a utopia. The rest of the world would call it Hellscape.

more disease equals more chaos which is the aim of these people. as people become ill, they will blame it on a villain as yet unnamed, but one can guess it won’t be white males.

The GQP seems to somehow benefit from useless American deaths from either non-vaxxing, insane gun laws, de-regulation, lack of medical insurance, or military misadventures.

For example, the Trump/Vance response to US school shootings: "Get over it" or "it's a fact of life." Another DU-er posted the incredible number of preventable COVID deaths under #45.

Now a non-Vaxxer may lead HHS.

This is not to knock any profession in the US whatsoever and I mean no offense to anyone. Many of my friends are progressive attorneys, so I ask this rhetorically:

Are the majority of lawyers who handle the estates of deceased people in probate court Republicans? Are the majority of funeral parlor owners in the US Republicans? Are the majority of health insurance company CEOs Republicans? Are the majority of firearms company CEOs Republicans?

Seems to me that a select sector of the US economy simply benefits from useless American deaths which will continue unabated.

Again, I mean no offense to any attorneys or undertakers on DU.

"Passive Genocide"

The Broederbond in Suid-Afrika realized to save the Boer people they had to relinquish power to Mr. Nelson Mandela. Dr. Bernard (D/BOSS) and President P. W. Botha negotiated the end of brutal apartheid and saved the Boers, Anglos, Xhosas, and Zulus from an extinctive civil war.

How are the Republicans in the USA saving white people from "passive genocide" by allowing 42,000 gun deaths a year or refusing vaccines?

This boggles the mind. White people are not invulnerable to bullets or disease like Superman.

Thank you again for the term which I shall explore.

It will help us grow as people until their votes and their policies kill us.

Dump already fucked it up when the pandemic first hit.

I know this is largely preaching to the choir. Vaccination is one of the, if not the most effective public health measure known to the human race.
