‘Medical Community’ Reportedly in ‘Sheer Terror’ Over Trump’s Public Health Picks

The RFK Jr. smears are coming hot and heavy.

At this point, it’s a horse race between him and Tulsi for whom can be more viciously maligned by the so-called journalists in corporate state media.

This should surprise no one, as they are targeting, respectively, the medical-industrial complex and the military-industrial complex — two of the most entrenched and cancerous power structures in permanent Washington.

Hundreds of billions of dollars — trillions, even, depending on how far out you project into the future — in government contracts are on the line in each case, so we should expect exactly what we’re seeing from the sleazebags who have been lining their pockets at the expense of the formerly great American middle class for decades now.

Via Science.org (emphasis added):

Concerns about what a second Donald Trump (R) presidency could mean for public health and biomedical research ratcheted up this week after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters Trump has promised to give him “control” over agencies at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)…

Public health researchers are alarmed, especially given Kennedy’s opposition to vaccines. “I can’t imagine anyone who would be more damaging to vaccines and the use of vaccines than RFK,” University of Minnesota epidemiologist Michael Osterholm told CNN.

Kennedy has long claimed that childhood vaccines contribute to autism, despite numerous studies disproving that notion. In 2017, early in Trump’s presidency, Kennedy said he had been asked to head a vaccine safety commission, but that did not come to pass.

This time, however, Kennedy appears to be poised to wield substantial influence should Trump win. Trump has embraced Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, which calls for removing allegedly harmful* chemicals in foods and water and cracking down on ultraprocessed food, among other steps.

*"Allegedly harmful”!

Continuing:

If Trump wins and formally nominates Kennedy to a public health position requiring Senate confirmation, approval would be uncertain, even if Republicans take control of that chamber. Still, one longtime research advocate and Washington, D.C., insider who spoke on condition of anonymity said confirmation “is not impossible.” And even without formal authority Kennedy could remain influential.

“We’re all in a state of panic,” this person added. “The damage that he can do is enormous. I don’t know anybody who isn’t worried about this.”

“Sheer terror” is how Sheryl Gay Stolberg, the New York Times Health Policy Correspondent, describes the sentiment among the “medical community” (because every social category has to comprise a “community” per liberal doctrine).

Aside from vague concerns over RFK Jr. removing the “allegedly harmful” (actually harmful) chemicals from the food and restricting access to vaccines — even though he has explicitly stated he would not outright ban any vaccine, but would rather reconsider the ethics of mandates — there is precious little elaboration on what it is exactly, specifically that gives these people heart palpitations.

But let’s hope that the primary fear is going to prison — for a long, long time.

Or maybe under it.

Don’t drop the soap, Fauci!
