    we were healthier when we had less tests and understood less about biology!

    I see we’re taking a page out of Russia’s playbook on how they handled HIV/AIDS (stop recording and reporting metrics on it altogether) and applying it writ large. Wcgw.

    Im conflicted on RFK. He’s right on his takes about nutrition and over reliance of Americans on prescription drugs, and he may be right about flouride (which we have always known had risks). He also wants to ban drug advertising which is 100% necessary. Yet his takes on vaccines are so so bad that it counters all the good he could do if he was really able to clean the food toxic food environment of the US and curb the power of big pharma.

    I’m gonna hope for the best here. Vaccines are big business, so Trump might not let him make too many changes there. But so is food so who knows?
