How Is RFK Jr. Bad for Your Health? Let Us Count the Ways.

The Centers for Disease Control shitshow is a microcosm of the mismanagement of the Trump era. It also demonstrated some extraordinary courage among principled public servants, who were willing to lose their jobs to draw attention to damage being done to public health.

What is happening at CDC is not a one-off. I have studied the federal bureaucracy for a quarter century and am not aware of any comparable period in American history where so many public service professionals across different policy domains are sending out SOS signals to the public. If you care about state capacity, the ability of government to get things done, you should be very worried.

If you are skeptic of government bureaucrats and their claims, I invite you to consider whether you would want the medical professionals at CDC or RFK Jr to treat your family if they got sick. Because right now, Trump is empowering RFK Jr to determine of your family’s health.

Let’s walk through it bit by bit.
