On top of budget cuts, vaccine misinformation now comes from the highest levels of govt.
RFK Jr. falsely claimed that mRNA vaccines are deadly & that vaccine research caused the 1918 flu pandemic. Far more Republicans now trust him for vaccine advice than CDC. www.kff.org/health-infor...

The Trump administration is undoing a national security strategy started by George W. Bush in 2005, former officials told me.
"If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare," Bush said in 2005. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Pandemic response relies on (a) producing vaccines rapidly & domestically (b) ensuring their safety (c) distributing them thru the public health system.
The Trump admin is undermining each of these steps. "Screwed on multiple levels" @angierasmussen.bsky.social says

Agree and this is especially true for low attention voters. I don't like the focus on politics as a game but you could take the feud and increase people's attention to the underlying crimes who are otherwise not paying attention

One thing that has changed since the Schedule F policy was originally proposed is that we have seen what it looks like when Trump really politicizes public services. Here are a couple of examples.

Cristian has a conviction for cocaine possession. Govt claims he's Tren de Aragua, which he denies. Cristian is class member in action filed in DMd in 2019 for unaccompanied alien children seeking to prevent govt from removing them before they could complete asylum proceedings.

To be clear, yes—the claim is that the children themselves were zip-tied and there is video of this.
