    The person in the Tweet also has a bias in all this. She now has an integrative clinic for people interested in getting care for Lyme disease, and she has spent the last few years trying to tie vaccinations to autism. Crunchy moms and health bros going to the Republican party was not on my bingo card in 2012, but they're pillars to MAGA today. And crunchy moms hate vaccines and love integrative clinics.

    I have seen a very scary trend in maga, they simply do not believe in Science, they would rather listen to a hack like RFK riff on a topic he knows nothing about.

    Yea, they are cold blooded to reduce Meals on Wheels grants by 50%. They don't care about anyone but the ultra wealthy, screw the middle class and poor class of plebs.

    I laugh when I think back at all the times I've heard conservatives say things like "we need to spend the money on our own people."

    Now they're slashing foreign aid, shuttering embassies, selling off government buildings, and spending even less on the Americans that need it most.

    Trump and RFK JR are probably the worst two people we could ever have in charge of Making Americans Healthy Again, and protecting Americans from workplace hazards, toxic chemicals and disease, but those corporate billionaires are paying Trump for this, and he is more than willing to take their money for himself, and do their bidding. As for RFK JR, he's just a quack "medical expert" who has no business in charge.

    Trump cuts demolish agency focused on toxic chemicals and workplace hazards

    These are among the many casualties of the Trump administration's decision to level a research agency that has devoted much of its energy over the past five decades to reducing people's exposure to harmful chemicals and other dangerous conditions in the workplace.

    Secretary Kennedy and President Trump have brought up repeatedly in their pitch to "Make America Healthy Again."

    "The irony is what we do at NIOSH is focus on preventing chronic disease and getting rid of toxins," said one senior scientist. "It makes no sense."


    Industrial hygienists, toxicologists, physicians and others at the agency work directly with industries in which people can be exposed to high levels of pollutants and other hazards, identifying substances that may also pose a risk to the general public.

    "If we are not evaluating emerging chemicals, if we are pretending they don't exist, we are going to see the health consequences, maybe 10 or 20 years from now," another scientist told NPR.

    "It's all well and good to talk about streamlining the government," says Dr. Philip Landrigan, an epidemiologist and occupational physician at Boston College. "But there's no way in the world that Mr. Kennedy's new agency is going to be able to protect workers' health after they've let 90% of the subject matter experts go," he says.

    these buffoons want to talk about DEI and merit as they promote the most unqualified people to positions of power

    only a white person could not even finish residency yet be nominated to be Surgeon General

    Trump's hires are unqualified as hell. He certainly doesn't go by experience or expertise. It's all about loyalty and the money.
