First they came for the scientists, and the National Park Service said "lol, no" and went rogue, and we all were like "I was not expecting the Park Rangers to lead The Resistance. None of the dystopian novels I've read prepared me for this." -- Anon.

We'll see how this plays out but from what I can see, this is laying the groundwork for a bunch of very bad ideas:

-defunding evidence-based research
-suspending vaccine access for unnecessary safety studies
-replacing medicine w/ supplements
-discrediting scientists

"ending Federal practices that exacerbate the health crisis or unsuccessfully attempt to address it" = bye, bye NIAID, NCI, most of CDC's ID epi portfolio, & any other agency that isn't jumping on board the anti-vax gravy train

"expert input" = the anti-vax industrial complex

Pretty rich to hear this about transparency from an administration that is systematically deleting publicly funded health data from government websites. Of course, that's so it can be replaced with new "integrity"-having MAHA data, which is what is meant by "methodological rigor"

Instead of weight loss drugs or evidence-based treatments for mental health, let's send all the fat, sad, neurodivergent kids to wellness camps where they can heal on a steady diet of snake oil these people are selling.

No more anti-depressants, anxiolytics, ADHD medications, or GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc) for anyone! Unclear if that last category would also apply to treating type 2 diabetes, which is also a chronic disease.

Yeah, but by defunding USAID and freezing government contracts, they've HALTED subsidies to farmers. And by sending ICE to deport immigrants to detention centers or foreign countries, there's no one to harvest that fresh food. 😖

Some people seem confused by the “This is the way” reference. We mean that standing up to the Trump administration—no matter the cost—is the way forward for the resistance.
