On the other hand, we also have this to contend with.

Logic, decency, reasonableness and love seem to be in short supply these days . . . Keep up the good work as we need it now more than ever.

I appreciate the work you put into all you do.

Congresss created our bureaucratic agencies because of horrible problems that will return without these agencies.

The number one determinant to health is income.

Income determines whether someone can afford healthcare in the US. Whether they have education, stable income, housing, safe neighborhoods, work/life balance.

Wealthy people who grift of causing health anxiety don’t care about ALL Americans.

If they cared about health they’d push for affordable healthcare for all. Eliminate food deserts. Expand crop science innovation. Promote preventive health screenings.

Instead, RFK Jr and MAHA scream about food dyes while SELLING wellness products that undermine actual health measures.

They don't care. I fear that we are all on our own at this very moment. I fear the ACA will be dismantled. The education system is going to be further dumbed down. We are in a declining empire with the worst people in charge.

If they cared about health? I understand why they're funneling shit tons of cash to themselves, but I really don't understand things like deleting 20 years worth of CDC data, unless the goal is simply to keep us sick and stupid

Credible scientists & health professionals WANT to improve health.

That’s why we advocate for things with real evidence.

RFK Jr opposes those measures & targets real experts.

He doesn’t care about your health. Neither does MAHA.

Americans never do the hard thing when it's the easiest to do. We wait until we let it get so bad rivers are on fire or the entire world is blowing itself up. Then we do the hard thing when it is the absolute hardest and congratulate ourselves. Rome at least had the Visigoths. We got a brain worm.
