Concerns anti-vaccine pick for US health secretary could pursue ‘anti-science positions’ on life-saving interventions
Summary
The nomination of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as U.S. health secretary under Donald Trump has alarmed global health experts, who fear it could undermine vaccination efforts and public health globally.
Kennedy has a history of spreading vaccine misinformation, which critics warn could reduce immunization rates, risking outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.
His plans to reform U.S. health agencies and tackle “corruption” could disrupt institutions like the FDA, while Trump’s broader policies may include withdrawing from the WHO and reinstating abortion funding bans.
Concerns also extend to potential trade wars affecting medicine supplies.
Only if the rest of the world lets them be influenced by the US. If major powers like the EU do, then it's their own fault.
Antibiotic-resistant communicable diseases don't respect political borders.
Don't let in the US migrants nor their ideologies 🤷
Dear Trump voters:
Congratulations. You just destroyed our Department of Health. You realize this is just as likely to kill you as us right? Probably even more so because we will be on our guard.
They're basically the stupidest part of our population. I don't think they'll ever understand the connection between their idiotic voting behavior and the consequences of those choices. Remember--they're fucking morons.
did you ask if Republican voters realize something? realization requires using your brain, something that would've prevented them from voting Republican in the first place
the guy endorses raw milk on a time when non infectious avian flu viral particles are found in pasteurised supermarket milk. he is the walking embodiment of disaster.
"Could"....
Try... "Will"
I'd like to fit in with this new America I've found myself in. What's the best way to spread polio to these people who so desperately desire it?
Well at least you won't have to waste money on expensive bombs and stuff. Just give the money to your oligarchs and send your troops off to breath on the enemy.
With the guy that's going to be defense secretary saying "I don't see germs, so they aren't real" maybe it could be the opposite.
I don't also see ionizing radiations, so they definitely aren't real, maybe let him taste some polonium tea
Also the irony of a Christian fundamentalist saying that because something can't be seen, then it can't be real
Your comment just got better and better 😁
I mean... Cull the herd I guess....
Hope you enjoy the fallout that a large unvaccinated population causes even in those who are vaccinated
