    “Make America Healthy Again!”

    They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so we have a program for free preventive care

    “No, not like that! Healthiness is a luxury, no poors allowed.”

    States must set their own guidelines. The Federal government has become unreliable so we shouldn’t rely on it.

      This is what conservatives want: medicine based on various opinions at the state local level so that you can’t know what is true.

      We need a collection of states to band together to form their own medical board that rivals the federal version instead of individual states that are making their own decisions. Last I heard, California, Oregon, and Washington was working on one but I haven’t heard much from them since the announcement.

        Wow it’s almost like we need to kick the confederates out of the federal government and take it back for the union or something

        Yeah, but not all states are going to just pull nonsense out of the air to base their policies on. Many states, like the ones you mentioned: California, Oregon and Washington will at least try to establish policies informed by experts.

    It’s so weird to see all these online grifters we belittled, but ultimately thought harmless, just a few years ago - to see them run one of the biggest economies of the world.

    Flat Earthers, Intelligent Design believers, Climate Change and Vaccine deniers, Esoteric Wellness Grifters…

    While in the background they are sucking dry the country’s finances and giving big corporations the last concessions they need to run 100% unregulated.

    [RFK Jr.] said he was reviewing task force appointments “to ensure clarity, continuity and confidence” in HHS oversight.

    If he wants to restore confidence, the first thing he can do is resign and let somebody with both the appropriate qualifications and integrity take the job.
