We are going backward as a nation when it comes to public health.

This does not bode well for Protecting, Promoting, and Advancing the Health and Safety of the Nation. In fact, it is 180 degrees counter to that mission.

Virulent anti-vaxxer and HIV denialist confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Lord have mercy.

submitted 11 days ago • 12 comments

An AIDS denialist is now HHS Secretary, making them the most powerful AIDS denialist since Mbeki presided over this disaster in South Africa as a result of the lies of Peter Duesberg, Harvey Bialy & others (who RFK Jr calls "heroic healers" in his 2021 book). No amount of power can make them right.

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe. #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Americans need to understand that USAID is one of the most effective soft-power cards the US has. Hard-power (military) and soft-power work hand-in-hand to safeguard American lives, values and interests. No surprise the PRC and Russia are cheering on this tomfoolery that harms the national interest.

Imagine you’re the richest man on earth. Do you spend $40 million on propaganda to convince people you did the right thing by choosing to let children starve, or do you choose to feed children? #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid

Elon Musk would like you to believe his propaganda about USAID so that he has an alleged justification for destroying the agency. Don’t fall for it. #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid

All legitimate science organizations oppose RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary, whether they have the courage to speak out about it or not.
