  1. Why am I not surprised.. this administration can’t surprise me. I already expect the worst from them.

  2. The U.S. National Hate Gauge was starting to fall precipitously low, so the Christian Conservatives quickly rallied to get it back up.

  3. Ya know, if they want people with HIV to just die it would really be great if they legalized euthanasia. I have HIV and insurance pays for my little pill that cost’s 80$ a day. 80×365=29200 that insurance pays.

    If they want me dead since *it costs so much* then let a doctor inject me with some happy-happy-die juice.

    I am sick of being medically terrorized with insurance issues that change every 4 years.

    If they want me to die then give me a gun with a bullet cause I am tired of this shit

  4. Yeah, nothing says ‘we care about public health’ like quietly scrapping one of the few days dedicated to it.

    Keep in mind that RFK Jr, head of HHS and a position he’s demonstrably unqualified for, has long peddled AIDS denialism conspiracy theories.

    He claims that HIV does not cause AIDS and has repeatedly questioned what he calls the “theology” that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS.

    > He lamented that “any questioning of the orthodoxy that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS remains an unforgivable — even dangerous — heresy among our reigning medical cartel and its media allies”

    > Kennedy’s book frequently cites discredited work of Peter Duesberg, a prominent AIDS denialist. “I haven’t found any evidence that HIV ever actually kills a T-cell.”

    But this sort of thing doesn’t raise alarms among his colleagues, his enablers and his supporters who have put their blind faith in a man who has stated himself that no one should be taking medical advice from him.

    A man who puts his own faith in disgraced medical frauds and influencers; who perpetuates discredited and dangerous theories; who is overseeing an unprecedented defunding and dismantling of important public health agencies and programs; who is responsible for billions of dollars worth of cuts and disruptions to scientific research, including research into life threatening illnesses like HIV, cancer, ALS, diabetes, and infectious diseases.

    This administration—and RFK Jr. in particular—has been singlehandedly responsible for undermining trust in public health and medical science, especially during disease outbreaks. Science has become politicized by the right.

    And as a result, we are witnessing a crisis of incompetence take form at nearly every level of government, one that experts say will lead to increased mortality and worsened health outcomes.

    And even while RFK Jr. was literally submerging himself in fecal matter, it didn’t stop his “MAHA” fanatics from denying legitimate science while insisting that their ass-backwards and misanthropic views about medicine, biology, diseases, science, vaccines, etc, are more informed than the leading and relevant scientific research on the matter.

    Between this and the “pause” on people coming from “shit-hole” countries, I have to wonder if he’s resentful that he was forced to pardon the turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!
