Robert F Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure In his first speech as Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F Kennedy Jr laid out a plan to restore trust. The COVID-19 pandemic saw public faith in Federal health...

Lancet writes about what a failure RFK Jr has been.

Exactly, tops she is qualified for is Senior Costep as an O-1

Surgeon general nominee Means questioned about vaccines, birth control and financial conflicts During a confirmation hearing, senators asked Dr. Casey Means about her current positions and her past statements on a range of public health issues.

Basic standards for a commission into the medical category of the USPHS requires an active license to practice. This quack never finished residency so wouldn't even qualify to come in as an O-3, let alone the leader of the entire Corps as an 0-9.

‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’ Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

This is what MAHA is really all about. Dangerous, ignorant, and uneducated people.

Supplements don’t prevent cancer, studies show Dietary supplements are wildly popular, but large clinical trials and other research by Fred Hutch Cancer Center shows many common dietary supplements offer little proven benefit for cancer prevention...

Remember that the supplement industry is, for the most part, unregulated unless there is some sort of sentinel event that causes significant harm. Otherwise the industry is largely a cash grab.

Senior CDC official resigns abruptly

Second senior official to resign this month. I feel so badly for everyone at CDC, including people I have deployed with and others I have had the great fortune to know and respect.

Kirkland startup pharmacy hires unlicensed workers to handle GLP-1 medications, whistleblowers say Whistleblowers expose unlicensed workers handling prescription medications at Kirkland pharmacy that supplied GLP-1 weight-loss drugs nationwide.

Please, please be extremely cautious if you decide to use non-FDA approved compounded GLP-1s. This was a pharmacy so they got caught, lots of med spas and other unlicensed facilities out there doing this or worse.

"A social media post from 'The White House' features a quote from President Donald J. Trump about sending a hospital boat to Greenland. Below the text is a painting of a large hospital ship, flying an American flag and marked with a red cross, sailing on a choppy sea towards a bright sunrise or sunset over distant mountains."

FFS this would have to be satire if I didn't see it posted on the official White House page.

Not really a surprise

RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

RFK Jr. admits to snorting 'cocaine off of toilet seats' Speaking on Theo Von's podcast, "This Past Weekend," the HHS secretary talked about his recovery from alcohol and substance abuse.

So, the guy in charge is perfectly fine having a long, drawn out history, and more than likely current use of illicit drugs but you can't get a Commission to serve as a USPHS Officer, even at the lowest rank, if you have any history of illicit drug use.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.

NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.

ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.

Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

House Democrat files impeachment articles against RFK Jr. The impeachment push by Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., is almost certain to be blocked in the GOP-controlled House.

Good! Not that anyone should hold on to any semblance of hope that the boot licking, spineless, house speaker will do the right thing.

Media Bias/Fact Check Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. openly acknowledged that he personally ordered the CDC to rewrite its vaccine-autism webpage, boasting in a New York Times interview that he directed the agency to contradict decades of scientific research showing no link between vaccines and autism.

As suspected, the messaging being posted on the HHS social media is not coming from any of the hard working and dedicated licensed and experienced scientists and health care professionals but just from the uneducated(a law degree doesn't mean shit in science and medicine) trust fund baby in charge.

Yes, either of those state alliances are great! After retiring from HHS I went to work for one of those states so am quite acquainted with the work they/we are doing while maintaining connections with the fantastic front line folks still in HHS OpDivs like CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.
