When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services in February, he promised “radical transparency” and declared that “both science and democracy flourish from the free and unimpeded flow of information.”

More details on yesterday's major HHS cuts.

Propagandists were fired. Maybe they can find new jobs in North Korea.

Just a reminder—this article if a freebie.

A leftist kook already paid for it—so you are not supporting Slimes propaganda by reading the article.

It’s always great entertainment watching liberal journalists pretend that they can do reporting on anything regarding real science.

I don’t see any issue here. Computers and automation even the use of AI assistants have made large numbers of jobs redundant in a great many areas especially government which do nothing except push pencils and shuffle papers around.

It implies that thousands of employees are at work sharing health information with the public. I am part of the public. The health information that I remember most was that I should stay home for months, that everyone should stand 6 feet away from each other, that it was actually not safe for sick people to go to a doctor or the hospital, that I should wear a mask everywhere I go, that vaccination would keep me from getting sick from an illness that I had already been sick from, that viruses could mutate and become more deadly, that airborne viruses could exist on surfaces, that common treatments were ineffective against viruses that they had been effective against previously…

They have not been doing a very good job of sharing health information with the public.

Would that be the same “Teams” who erroneously told us if we took the COVID Jab we could not catch COVID?

Would that be the same “Teams” who told us that wearing a common painters mask would protect us from COVID?

Would that be the same “Teams” who told us that standing six feet apart and only walking in one direction in the supermarket would protect us from COVID?

Would that be the same reams who told us to shut down all small businesses and send them into bankruptcy would protect us from COVID?

Would that be the same people who told us that COVID was a virus that jumped from the live animals and weird meats sold in the Wuhan, China meat markets?

the very people who communicated the health department's work to Americans....

\/

we remember...

covid came from bat soup
covid spreads in churches but not liquor stores or walmart

gain of function was never done

the jab prevents infection
the jab prevents spreading
the jab is safe
the jab stays in the arm
the jab works take 7 boosters
the jab never causes heart problems
the jab is safe for pregnant women
the jab doesnt enter breast milk
the jab never causes miscarriages
the jab never causes still borns

anti vaxxers are ignorant
anti vaxxers ate paranoid
anti vaxxers are killing grandma

anti vaxxers arent horses

ivermectin doesnt help
hydochloriquine doesnt help

6 feet prevents spread
masks stop viruses
2 masks stop viruses
wear masks when eating

trump said to drink bleach

” i AM science “

ststfu and take the jab

yup we remember , good riddance
