Sometimes it may feel like we aren't making progress in the fight against RFK Jr.'s destruction of US public health, so I wanted to share some of the successes that we can look to for motivation: 1. Stopped the illegitimate ACIP 2. Ended said ACIP's anti-vax recommendations

This is NUTS www.thehandbasket.co/p/trump-usai...

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health.

When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.”

Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

RFK Jr. is eliminating transparency and public engagement on important HHS decisions that has been in place since 1971.

In a 1971 Federal Register document, the Department adopted a policy that waived the APA's statutory exemption from procedural rulemaking requirements for rules and regulations
relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts (Richardson Waiver). 36 FR 2532
(Feb. 5, 1971). The Richardson Waiver thus required the Department to use the APA's notice
and comment rulemaking procedures for these types of matters. The policy also instructed the Department to use the good cause exception "sparingly." Id. The Department later proposed a rule to formally confirm the policy regarding the Department's use of rulemaking procedures for
rules and regulations relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. 47 FR
26860 (June 22, 1982). The proposed rule was never adopted.

Effective immediately, the Richardson Waiver is rescinded and is no longer the policy of the Department. In accordance with the APA, "matters relating to agency management or personnel or to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts," are exempt from the notice and comment procedures of 5 U.S.C. 553, except as otherwise required by law. Agencies and
offices of the Department have discretion to apply notice and comment procedures to these
matters but are not required to do so, except as otherwise required by law. Additionally, the good
cause exception should be used in appropriate circumstances in accordance with the
requirements of the APA. The Department will continue to follow notice and comment
rulemaking procedures in all instances in which it is required to do so by the statutory text of the
APA.

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids. “I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

nbcnews.com

Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.

New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.
