Today, the FDA approved lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injection that's nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV infection...but its rollout is threatened by Trump's cuts to global health programs. Many public health advocates now fear lenacapavir won't reach the people who need it most.

RFK Jr. wants you talking about red dye #40 so you don't pay attention to this.
If MAHA really cared about health, they wouldn't be pushing tax cuts and deregulation for the industries making us sicker.
And they definitely wouldn't gut Medicaid to give billionaires tax breaks.

I don't think this is always true, but when paired with political inaction, it often is.
a large undercurrent in Social Media Leftism is a desire to see Dems as Bad Actually. sometimes this is out of barely-concealed support for republicans (greenwald types), sometimes it's just desire for absolution from political responsibility. no need to follow the rules if the game can't be won
