To state the very obvious, this would put an avowed anti-vaxxer in charge of vaccines, allowing him to thwart the development and approval of life-saving shots. It's almost too horrific to fathom—a potential death sentence for our families and children. It's lethal. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
Trump expected to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS
The choice will roil many public health experts after his years of touting debunked claims that vaccines cause autism.

“raw milk is a reasonable choice for some people” is a good example of being so open minded your brains start to leak out of your ears
Oster writes that “With more information, we provide room for people to drink raw milk but also vaccinate their kids. Which is, basically, a reasonable choice.” Oster claims she is being far more nuanced, but I don’t think there’s enough nuance here. Raw milk is not “reasonable” for many people.

We solved so many problems so well that most people don’t know that they were ever problems, and so their base assumption is that this is the natural order of the world when it’s actually a fragile system held up by an expansive administrative state…which millions just voted to dismantle.
"We have a mandate to dismantle the regulatory state - and both the power and the will to do so,"
Is explicitly what they ran on and enough of the US has just always had clean water and safe food and some manor of workplace protection that they categorically do not understand what a threat that is.

I really think most people don't appreciate the scale of what's coming.
