Under the guise of “disruptive innovation”, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has offered a poorly characterised plan for a new Administration for a Healthy America (AHA) that focuses on chronic diseases and with a CDC that is downsized and restricted to infectious diseases only.2 What is being promoted as reform is, in reality, a misdiagnosis. The supposed cure is attacking the vital organs of the nation’s public health infrastructure: chronic disease prevention, environmental health, and data science. The result is a cascade of systemic failure that threatens to damage not only the CDC but also US public health.

Seth Trueger @MDaware • 7/11/18 g ... what if there were a nonprofit State based company that everyone who lived in the state was a shareholder in with a chargemaster and insurance pool? ...l think you've invented medicaid for all x.com/ psychplan/stat... 172 O 11 ill 贝企 Seth Trueger @MDaware • 7/11/18 oh it covers "all health care costs for diagnoses unrelated to personal lifestyle choices" 9 ... what about diagnoses related to complications of things that are addictive? (he's a child psychiatrist) 04. 企 X.com Seth Trueger @MDaware now l'm paraphrasing: "there's a nonprofit company for the whole state" = government "everyone in the state is a shareholder" = citizen "who has a vote for the board members" = elected officials "WEll pay a fee" = taxes.

@MDaware ANH is just so good and foundational fun and the Death Star and Yavin are just so great ESB is probably a better “film” but it stands on the shoulders of ANH.

The website changes have once again put the secretary at odds with Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana and the health committee chairman, who is also a doctor. To win the senator’s vote for confirmation, Mr. Kennedy promised not to remove a statement from the C.D.C. website stating that vaccines do not cause autism. The statement remains at the top of the site, with an asterisk leading to a footnote that says the header “has not been removed due to an agreement “ with the health committee chairman. The page goes on to say that the claim is not “evidence-based” and that “studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” It does not mention the live-saving benefits of vaccines. a frog swimming with a scorpion on its back.

well he got that footnote so
* The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

Mate Walsh © Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer Derek Therequen o 80KThomp What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.
