“It’s easy to see what’s happening and feel defeated…But public health has always been fighting uphill battles…and perhaps the hardest part has always been convincing the public to care about public health. I hope that people do not have to suffer and die to realize the value public health provides”
RFK Jr. is wrecking public health — but we can (and will) survive this
“Make America Healthy Again” has already backfired. It will take generations to fix

1/4. If the US were engaged in an attempt to bring peace to Ukraine, it would place more tariffs on Russia, rather than exempt Russia entirely.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

America is not the sickest country in the world and Americans are not the sickest they’ve ever been. Anybody saying either of those things is LYING CAUSE THEY THINK YOU’RE STUPID. Don’t let them. You can’t fix public health by eliminating it.
