Blaming everything on God's will and calling for more prayer instead of proactive action may have been understandable amidst the ignorance of the Dark Ages but is no way to govern in the 21st century.

Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience. But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy. There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

"The rise of end times fascism" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor is an outstanding work. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Recommended.
The authors wright: As fascism always does, today’s Armageddon complex crosses class lines, bonding billionaires to the Maga base. Thanks to decades of deepening economic stresses, alongside ceaseless and skillful messaging pitting workers against one another, a great many people understandably feel unable to protect themselves from the disintegration that surrounds them (no matter how many months of ready-to-eat meals they buy). But there are emotional compensations on offer: you can cheer the end of affirmative action and DEI, glorify mass deportation, enjoy the denial of gender-affirming care to trans people, villainize educators and health workers who think they know better than you, and applaud the demise of economic and environmental regulations as a way to own the libs. End times fascism is a darkly festive fatalism – a final refuge for those who find it easier to celebrate destruction than imagine living without supremacy.

It’s also a self-reinforcing downward spiral: Trump’s furious attacks on every structure designed to protect the public from diseases, dangerous foods and disasters – even to tell the public when disasters are headed their way – strengthen the case for prepperism at both the high and low ends, all while creating myriad new opportunities for privatization and profiteering by the oligarchs powering this rapid-fire unmaking of the social and regulatory state.

David Geier is NOT a vaccine skeptic. Stop calling him that.
Letting him head an “investigation” into vaccines and autism will legitimize his decades of lies and illegal medical treatments that harmed children.

Donald Trump has a long history being on the opposite side of Native American rights. In 1993, Trump said allowing Natives to operate casinos discriminated against him. During a congressional hearing, he questioned the heritage of gaming casino operators. “They don't look like Indians to me.”
