Kennedy directs CDC to study alleged harms of offshore wind farms

Kennedy directs CDC to study alleged harms of offshore wind farms, Bloomberg News reports https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/kennedy-directs-cdc-study-alleged-182101309.html

(Reuters) -U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff to probe the potential harms of offshore wind farms, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The move is part of a broader push by the Trump administration to scrutinize offshore wind development, which Trump himself has repeatedly criticized.

In late summer, the Department of Health and Human Services, headed by Kennedy, instructed CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH, to prepare research about wind farms' impact on fishing businesses, the report said.

Kennedy has met NIOSH director John Howard about the issue and listed particular experts for Howard's team to contact, Bloomberg reported.

They are mentally ill.
Narcissists and psychopaths.
But they act like lunatics on top of that.
All made for TV stunts.

For money and power.

All because he said something outlandish once to keep Turnberry’s view of the sea clear. Now an entire nation must shift all its resources to “prove him right” so he can circle back on it with Scotland.

It’s as transparent as it is pathetic.

An expert is someone with a briefcase from out of town.

Knowing what trump wants makes you an expert.

I don’t get it. I’m a dumb fuck from Arkansas but the entire fucking Republican Party is transparent with their evil ways. How come many don’t see it? Gosh, cause they don’t want to. Cause their values are Immune from scrutiny. Cause ignorance is bliss.
