Make America Healthy Again - Trump populism comes to health regulation (2 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

This is going to need a thread as we move forward - there are now clear signs that Trump supports a new, critical if not dubious approach on vaccination, and his HHS nominee RFK Jr. regularly espouses eating raw milk and raw meat . . . dietary components most experts agree are more dangerous than their heated counterparts.

Health is certainly one of those areas were anti-institutionalism and turning to popular influencers over medical science comes with genuine risk of harm.

Today Trump provided his most clear indication that he is a vaccine skeptic - claiming (falsely of course) that the USA doesn't "do as well" as other nations that use no vaccines at all.

Shocking...

Health Secretary RFK Jr. says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism

President Trump's health secretary said Tylenol should be used with caution during pregnancy, but solid data linking it to autism is lacking.

The irresponsibility of this is just on par with this shirt admin.

It's amazing how big of a role a few people in Congress from Louisiana have played in forking up things for everyone.

This is outrageous. Cassidy should lose his job for this alone.

This is what you get when you put a dilettante/whack job in a position like this.

Cassidy - that’s all you can say because you’re a sniveling coward. Be a man, own up to your mistake and try to get him out of there before too many more people die. He made a fool out of you once, you don’t have to keep being a fool.

Ralph Abraham, a top Louisiana health official who stopped promoting mass vaccination policies and once described Covid-19 vaccines as “dangerous”, has been appointed deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it was revealed on Tuesday.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has not formally announced Abraham’s appointment, but the center’s internal database now lists Abraham as the federal agency’s principal deputy director, effective this week. Abraham’s appointment was confirmed to the Washington Post by an HHS spokesperson.

Abraham’s appointment is certain to cause renewed anxiety among health experts as rifts deepen over US vaccine policy under the leadership of the health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is reconstituting leadership at US federal health agencies in ways that prioritize vaccine skepticism.

As Louisiana’s surgeon general since 2024, Abraham drew criticism for directing state health agencies to stop promoting mass vaccination as a public health strategy, and for criticizing “blanket government mandates” for immunizations.


Earlier this year, Abraham wrote that “missteps” during the Covid-19 pandemic had caused a loss of trust in government.

“Government should admit the limitations of its role in people’s lives and pull back its tentacles from the practice of medicine,” he wrote, adding that “restoring this trust requires returning medical decisions to the doctor-patient relationship, where informed, personalized care is guided by compassion and expertise rather than blanket government mandates.”………
