Just when I'm about to retire, Medicare will only cover chiropractors and horse paste.

Kennedy is a germ-theory denier who believes people can maintain their health not by relying on evidence-based medicine, such as vaccines, but by clean living and eating
I fucking hate this timeline
Clean eating, like park bear and whale carcasses!
Don't forget to bathe in raw sewage.
No wonder he got that brainworm.
He used to pop the eye balls out of birds heads and eat them raw
- fucking why?
- how did you learn this abomination?
He's a sick bastard.
There's a three part Behind the Bastards on him that covers his childhood, young adult, and current craziness. I found part two the most interesting.
You know I'm part of a club where we try to eat one of everything to maintain our dominant position in the food chain, but he makes us look like freaks. And not the fun kind of freaks.
Even if he believed that, why isn’t he calling for more regulation oversight for the FDA and stringent quality controls on the food production supply chain as a whole?
Because like everyone in Trump's government, he is there to gut, cripple, and undermine the public's trust in our institutions.
Clean living in his view just means focusing on "natural" things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything "artificial" is dangerous. So he's certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn't believe they are dangerous.
he in fact believes pathogens in the food supply are necessary to build your immune system
I wait for the new FDA “preferred partners” program
This is all going to be covered by a snarky longform YouTube (or equivalent) documentary in 200 years.

I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t Nature and its subject-specific varieties considered some of the most reputable and prestigious scientific publications?
Yeah, getting published in Nature is a career gold star achievement. They’re very high impact (meaning many other scientific papers cite their articles).

If we go by impact factor (a measure of how often the articles a journal publishes are cited elsewhere), various Nature publications are six of the top ten journals in the world and Nature itself is 15th
Yes. It's pretty much the definition of a high quality peer-reviewed journal.

"precious tax payers money shouldn't go to unused subscriptions to junk science"
Ahh yes, but it should be used to make the incomprehensibly wealthy, even more wealthy. I really wish there was a god.
Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?
This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.
Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?
That's EXACTLY what they did, yeah. Just like when they appropriated "fake news" which was originally a term describing their own disinformation.
Which also nicely mirrors the Nazis calling everybody that contradicts them Lügenpresse.

The US is like a reality tv show, except it's less believable.
There must be (or ought to be) a term for this type of conspiracy that requires practically all experienced professionals in a given field to be complicit.
You could convince me that one or even a group of researchers were acting with nefarious intent, but everyone? It's just an absurdity.
It's pretty much the definition of the "grand conspiracy theory". It requires the combined effort of thousands of people across hundreds of countries. It's insanity.

It's just a repeat of that AIDS conspiracy group that rejected evidence on HIV and made their own "science" mag which folded when everyone died of AIDS
So the modern approach to healthcare is back to leeches and blood letting huh. Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card but in retrospect I really should have.
Well at least we know which publication refused to capitulate to morons.
I wonder which ones they kept.
Damn, what a bad ~~week~~ ~~month~~ ~~decade~~ century for US healthcare!

Everybody knows that real science is peerless.
I'm not as concerned with this as I am with the fascism, because this will at least kill us indiscriminately
My friend, this is part of the fascism.
They're probably already in the data set of whichever LLM they use to write their policy documents anyway, so sure, fine. 🙄
