Unless they end up incarcerating many people in private prisons to use them as cheap labor, but the 15th Amendment doesn't allow that, right? Plus, they'd have to criminalize entire groups of people, which surely they wouldn't do.

"Making America Healthy Again" means keeping people in the dark about health risks, so they remain unaware of what's harming them.
The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.
