And last night we came to find that the report that was released by HHS the other day was filled with fake citations. RFK Jr. is by far the scariest of all Trump's picks.
As a cancer patient who is immunocomprosmised, it is alarming to me and others in the same position that there not a flu vaccine in place for this coming year, simple access to covid vaccines for everyone no matter what age (which protects me in the long run) and total disregard for any of us for what is needed to keep the population safe with advances we already have. I also need to get all of my childhood vaccines again because of a lifesaving procedure that wiped them out in the process. I need to be able to get all of them to keep me safe. The fact that a former drug addict who says he has had brain worms and can hardly utter a straight thought, is in charge with his conspiracy theories, I fear for all of us. Another despicable decision by the feckless Republicans putting a totally frightening, unqualifed individual in charge of one of our most important agencies. Saying they do not care is the understatement of the century.
Yes, murder or at least manslaughter. The cuts to and new obstacles to receiving Medicaid and war on public health science and funding are made with intent to deny lifesaving healthcare to the poor or reckless disregard of the certainty people will die as a direct consequence of their policies.
If massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud were present to justify budget cuts, there would be a rash of lawsuits against perpetrators. Instead, Trump just pardoned an egregious fraudster. This justification is an intentional lie.
Stopping funding for an avian flu vaccine as the public health risk accelerates, and putting pregnant women and their infants at greater risk of severe Covid complications and death, are equally criminal. As are preventable maternal deaths based on state abortion laws that Republicans cruelly impose and enforce.
Those responsible for these measures are malevolent agents of sickness and death.
It breaks my heart to think of all the opportunities we have lost to turn this country and its culture around. The pandemic and climate change have given us ample chances to really come together and make positive changes for the future, and we have failed, as of yet, to rise to what is our WWII moment. Another example was the deployment of The Webb Telescopes mirrors. I watched the whole thing on tv during the pandemic and thought of what a great opportunity it was to bring together all the people of the world. That accomplishment took decades of dedicated work by scientists cooperating all over the world for a common purpose. There were something like 300+ single points of failure that had to work or the whole thing would not have been a success. Why wasn't that on every television around the world? What an incredible accomplishment. And we didn't make enough of the fact that it took decades of dedicated work by many scientists that got us to the point where we could develop that mRNA vaccine in 9 months. I could go on, but I don't think I need to. I keep hoping that seemingly all of a sudden one day, the majority of people in the U.S. will wake up and decide to act to change course.
I read from someone who claims sources inside the CDC, that RFK isn’t testing symptomatic farmers for H5N1 nor is he letting known the number of Covid cases that are emerging. Also that he’s not culling chickens but letting them die on their own. That said, the information may not be true, as I don’t know this person. I did, however, send the Substack report on to 5 people/media networks and a physician here on Substack who cover news. I am not sure that they even got my message.
So we know it’s not good. Whatever RFK Jr is doing, or is not doing. It’s not good.
I occasioned on “The Reckoning That Wasn’t”, May 17th, and decided to subscribe to The Ink. I resonated with the recognition that the Democrats weren’t looking at their own faults and dealing with them. Two weeks in I’m realizing The Ink is not for me so I’ll pull the plug and chalk it up.
Today’s “arsonist to firefighter pipeline” article, and especially some of the comments, represent to me the Left’s biased judgements and moral superiority in attacking, in this case RFK Jr, that I saw all through the campaign. What a turnoff. People not owning their own shadow material and projecting it onto the Other. Buying into the narrative spun by the puppet masters, the legacy media, and maintaining the polarization dynamics. Us vs. Them.
Last summer I went unaffiliated after a lifetime as a Democrat. I’m 82. I never voted for a Republican but it all changed. I was able to break the trance. I saw the corruption and toxicity of the Left, equal to that of the Right. Thank God I was able to break free. Now I have the capacity to not be swayed by the experts and commentators, the opinions that keep us locked into the drama. On the contrary, I have the intention and ability to see the Good on both sides. I’ve seen the good in RFK. I’ve looked closely and, lo and behold, trust him. That will likely push your buttons. That will likely have you cancel me. In fact you’ll likely want to punish me. On the other hand there may be some of you that will not impulsively react. You may turn inward to inquire where my anger is coming from. You may be truly curious on how I may come from a place in my heart that is open and compassionate and not this us vs. them place. Who knows?
