Donald Trump may only be president for another four years, but the impacts of his administration on public health could be catastrophic for a long time to come. While we don’t know exactly what will happen, there’s no doubt the next four years could see attempts to curtail the authority and autonomy of federal health agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)— something that the President-elect tried during his first term. However, despite Trump’s bravado around letting RFK Jr “go wild” and “do what he wants” on health, it’s unlikely that sweeping closures or reconstructions of federal agencies will be feasible. A more fundamental issue is the likelihood that another Trump term could further undermine scientific regulatory authorities—turning the cracks in public trust that his first administration helped cause into veritable chasms.
The concern is not just about what the Trump 2.0 Administration will do, but also about what it will say. RFK Jr., one of the so-called “Disinformation Dozen,” was already the most influential figure of anti-vax movements. Now, it looks as though he will have the ear of the president. The culture of conspiracism will likely cascade through and beyond government, with well-known misinformation-mongers being rumored to be in line for top health roles. For instance, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Florida Surgeon General, is rumored to be in the running to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The fact that people who espouse views that deviate far from the scientific mainstream are being considered to head some of the most revered institutions is a sign of how contrarian or cavalier a Trump 2.0 administration could be when it comes to public health.

The article has other good points including the safe and effective Vax.
I certainly hope so!
Oh will you SHUT UP!?
Didn’t say anything about the concentration camps the CDC wants to built.
Prices of insurance and medicine have gone up up up and quality of care has gone down down down.
Almost like it is not a good idea to let the insurance companies run everything.
Smell the fear. They all ready admitted to several significant lies about their world wide human testing of a unproven gene therapy wrongly called a “vax”.
Now get ready for the antis to get full access to all the emails, meeting notes etc behind Def Facui’s attempt to play god.

Betcha Simon doesn’t have a problem with gender re-assignment surgery or gay sex...
The Trump administration needs to go through them with a chainsaw. All of the current executives and managers must be dismissed with prejudice, never to work in any government position again.
I’d like to see Dr. Ladapo, Florida’s gutsy Surgeon General in an important position here.
And don’t forget the catastrophic loss of the first ‘woman’ full admiral!
In the wake of the disastrous handling of COVID how could they possibly do worse. These are all illegal agencies under the 10th amendment, so just disband them and stop the damage they are doing to society.
The same folks who came up with the 6 foot rule are concerned about misinformation?
The rejection of truth, as embraced by the FDA and the CDC, is necessarily a rejection of science.
“....curtail the authority and autonomy of federal health agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”
Oh, THE HORROR!!! A world without tyrannical, unaccountable bureaucrats!
Welcome to four years of the American public learning that it’s not the governments job to wipe your a$$, put food on your table, or pay for your stupid choices. And that’s the most empowering road forward for all!
NPR
PBS
CDC
CIA
FBI
just for starters.
Time is projection on to the Trump Admin what has actually happened under the Biden admin. Totally typical of the left.
The IDIOT doesn’t even know to write a persuasive piece on vaccines. If you want to attack RFK, don’t even mention Covid, but rather dwell on the others, like Polio for example, which definitely did improve society. The idea being to link him to the well-accepted vaccines, rather than the mRNA garbage, which is getting more and more discredited by the day.
But I think their REAL FEAR has nothing to do with vaccines, Ivermectin, Flouride, or whatever else he mentions. Their REAL FEAR is nutrition and the fact that the right people at the top may finally (after 50+ years), break the stranglehold of Big Food and Big Drugs, which is many trillions of dollars every year, but is DESTROYING the health of Americans (think Obesity and Diabetes explosions for starters). That has them shaking in their boots, or at least should have them shaking in their boots - but they cannot fight that head-on, because the EVIDENCE will make them look even worse, so they go around the edges, to vaccines etc...
