RFK is a eugenicist. This week #RFK Jr and Russell #Vought brought the US public health system to its knees. The COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, the anti-vax crusade, antiscience idiocy precipitated a bloodbath at the CDC. The senior leadership is gone. They have captured the system.

Between last fall(2024) and today, there have been over 3 million out-patient visits, over 300,000 hospitalizations and over 30,000 deaths from COVID. (This data comes from a presentation at the June ACIP meeting extrapolated forward.)

And it gets worse. Jim O’Neill, who was selected to be acting CDC Director, is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience.

GenX is the first generation where most of us lived through infancy. Because of vaccines.

#Vought is consolidating power in the #OMB. #NSC expertise in maritime (shipbuilding specifically) is being moved to OMB.

McKinsey would have advised to concentrate expertise and seek to retain experts. Exactly what #RFKJr seeks to avoid.

Does anyone know if the writers of The Boys were consciously referring to the future author of Project 2025?

. Under Vought’s view, a president could erase funding for: • Public schools • SNAP & Medicare • Climate programs • Disaster relief • Any law they don’t like It turns the presidency into a one-man appropriations committee. That’s unconstitutional & dangerous. #Vought #Project2025 .
