Expected results after 2020: Masking becomes acceptable and more masks are worn during flu and cold season.
Uptake of flu and other vaccines increase.

Not expected: Complete eradication of public health and government abdication of all responsibility to protect citizens.

It would be nice to have a “nearby” search option to even further facilitate hyper local organizing.

This ideological drift that goes in more or less one direction, with “mainstream”/center-right figures like Leana Wen and Emily Oster ceding ground to PH contrarians in opinion essays in the week after the election (but before RFK was announced).

Journalists writing about Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, remember he said we could have herd immunity in 3-6 via mass infection.

Many such examples.

If Dr. Marty Makary were to arrive here, he would be reminded of this on a frequent basis.

Hence he will not come here.

Many of the candidates are allies of RFK Jr. and have maligned the agencies they would oversee.

Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr. once compared wearing a mask to Hitler’s Gestapo murdering artists and poets during World War II.

He’s also against boosters, before that, he immediately latched on to the subclinical myocarditis thing Høeg, et al. cooked up with Great Barrington Dave (Zweig), which was always a transparent effort to undermine vaccinating kids, and that’s just the start of it.
This article reviews some of the many concerns about Makary: “He was a proponent of natural immunity, saying it was "at least" as effective or even better than immunity provided by vaccines, ignoring the risk of infections. He also argued the nation would reach herd immunity by April 2021.”

Trump advisers are reported to be debating whether FL's surgeon general Joseph Ladapo, who, among other things, failed to appropriately address a measles outbreak and suggested Covid boosters are dangerous, "should be CDC director, surgeon general or Kennedy’s assistant secretary for health."
Some very interesting names in this @politico.com report on possible Trump admin health picks:
* The Means siblings in senior roles (Casey potential Surgeon Gen, Calley in a top deputy role -- but neither at FDA)
* CDC, NIH possibles

All Trump's healthcare picks peddled dangerous COVID conspiracy theories and quack treatment not backed by evidence and used their positions to enrich themselves. They'll undermine healthcare agencies and seek to dismantle institutions under the camouflage of "reform" and "shakeup."
