It is unfortunate (& telling) that a #PublicHealth department in South Africa feels the need to insert the word "wellness" into its designation.
To some extent, it is reflective of how #TimNoakes & his quack science have reshaped the country's medical + health landscape for decades -

The Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness recently sounded the alarm about a decline in infant immunisation rates in the province, linking it to national trends in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Even if you take Prasad and RFK Jr at their word 100%, this is reason enough to fire/impeach them. There is no reason not to publish evidence this supposedly damning, unless it doesn't exist.
