The way I have been describing it lately is that it feels like things are simultaneously better than they’ve ever been and worse than they’ve ever been.

As if the damage isn’t already done. As if he doesn’t still pose a threat to US and global public health. As if he isn’t still a dangerous crank, playing games with millions of human lives. As if he isn’t an ignoramus, in way over his head, gambling with stakes he is incapable of understanding.

An HIV denialist and anti vaxxer is now in charge of the agencies that set our national HIV treatment and vaccine guidelines. A crackpot who is against pasteurized milk and fluoridated water is now in charge of the FDA. People will get sick and die and their blood will be on his filthy hands.

The “emergency waiver” is a lie. Medication is already being withheld and preventable HIV transmission is already happening. This is a crime against humanity.
February 4, 2025 at 2:35 AM
It’s already happening. Meds are sitting on shelves while patients are being turned away. Even if the waivers eventually go into effect, some of the damage won’t be undone. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Why we need to stop the RFK Jr. confirmation. He is a dangerous crackpot who will destroy decades of public health work.
If RFK Jr. were to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), his dangerous views could undermine decades of public health progress. Here’s why his beliefs are harmful. His confirmation hearing is this week. Let your senators know he cannot lead HHS
His beliefs are dangerous

This program has saved tens of millions of lives worldwide since 2003. Freezing the funding now means stopping treatment for millions of people. This is genocide.

This is genocide.
Trump has introduced an immediate halt to all work on PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, set up by George W Bush).
This includes the HIV treatment provided to 20 million people through PEPFAR, people who will die without treatment.
And many more will acquire HIV as a result.
