His goal, like every person Trump has appointed, is to dismantle and break those institutions. The point is to cripple the government so that private businesses get to fill the gaps and gain power.
Yep, it'll take decades to rebuild trust in the CDC and HHS, and they were basically still doing the work of doing that after the messed up stuff they did in the 40s - 60s.
The CDC and HHS did a lot to destroy trust long before this administration. What RFK says about Big Pharma capturing government agencies has enough truth in it that it helps sell his bullshit conspiracy driven nonsense.
Republicans! Not just Trump! They’ve been doing this for ever. Make the government bad, tell the American people the government is bad and we need to reduce its power, repeat!
I'd argue the point is to destroy the country which is what Russia wants. They don't want a weak America, they want a dead America.
It’s not just Russia. Most of big tech oligarchs are accelerating this hard for their network state fantasies.
Rfk made one good point: why are Americans so sick if what we're doing is working? Then this dude blames one of the most effective public health programs in history.
Clearly vaccines, one of the last vestiges of a robust public health program, which eliminated some of the worst plagues in the world, must be why we're so sick. Swiss cheese tequila brain. 🪱🧠🍸
Rfk used to talk a lot of sense but today he is a walking taking ad for vaccines. If not shooting vaccines ages my voice box 20 years ill take two shots of everything please
fucking hell I wish he was still shooting street dope, that would've been the luckiest fent shot known to humankind.
