Doubt and distrust: how Trump's new public health officials may undermine Americans' safety - Velshi - MSNBC



Public health programs, especially disease prevention, only work when enacted on a large scale by the government. When an effort to inoculate a population against a disease is effective, it’s largely invisible. The absence of an outbreak and the lack of a crisis is proof of a successful public health program.

The next Trump Administration may leave our public health apparatus in the hands of unqualified people – like RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz - who have pushed disputed, false, or dangerous notions about public health. - Aired on 11/24/2024.

Our Christian Conservative Church Going Neighbors want trumps nominees to ruin the health of America because that’s who they are. I guess, for some, research is irrelevant.

I sadly say to you My Friends, I’m glad My Wife and I are in our 70s. Rocking and Rolling through the 70s, searching for that lost shaker of salt, loving life and liberty. Enjoying freedom. Voting for Democrats. I caught My Breath. Let’s continue the pursuit. I didn’t spend 30 years in the Navy so “they” could ruin us and our country. “They” don’t deserve Our Country.

Surely they must have seen the violent footage from January 6th even if they missed the news about his 34 felonies or his judgments for sexual assault and defamation.
