Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect

All of Trump's picks to lead health agencies have either spread anti-vaccine disinformation, opposed lifesaving public health measures during the pandemic, or promoted false health claims and unproven products.

A Trump administration endangers the health of every person.
Trump's picks to lead US health agencies:

HHS - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
NIH - Jay Bhattacharya
CMS - Mehmet Oz
CDC - Joseph Ladapo (TBC)
FDA - Marty Makary (TBC)
Surgeon General - Casey Means/Vinay Prasad (TBC)
