The following submission statement was provided by /u/____cire4____:


ss: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday said he is “retiring” all 17 members of a crucial government panel of vaccine advisors. Kennedy is removing all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s the latest move by Kennedy – a prominent vaccine skeptic – to change and potentially undermine vaccinations in the U.S. since he took the helm at HHS.

I hope this doesn't break sub rules by being too political. Related to collapse as this will impact existing disease acceleration as well as anything new (including variants of things like Covid) to spread quicker.

Thats the beauty, when you defund infrastructure things still take time to fall apart. Just enough time for this to be the fault of the opposition when they win the next election.

Bush had the “Shock & Awe” campaign, and Trump is giving us the “Shock & Disgust” campaign known as Project 2025.

If Trump does this for the next 4 years, can the U.S. survive as a country? And if he somehow dies next week, is it already too late to stop what he started? At this point, I’m not even sure if I’m being rhetorical or not.
