Health and medical groups around the country are bracing for another grievous blow to America’s infrastructure of evidence-based health, this time targeting preventive medicine.
Earlier this week, health secretary and ardent anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly canceled a meeting of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a scientifically independent panel of up to 16 volunteer experts that issues rigorous, evidence-based recommendations on preventive care—on everything from colonoscopies to folic acid supplements in pregnancy. The panel uses a highly transparent and rigorous framework, grading recommendations on an A to D scale. Recommendations with an A or B grade are adopted nationwide, and health insurance plans are required to cover them at no cost to patients.
I grow more convinced every day that one of the explicit goals of the Trump regime is to kill people.
It’s not just that the combination of greed, self-interest and overt mental illness on display in the regime leads to deaths, but that, at some level, there’s a very deliberate goal of killing people (notably minorities - gender and sexual as well as ethnic and racial), and that the specific lunatics put into specific positions - most obviously Kennedy - are there because their brains are broken in such a way that even left to their own devices, they’ll kill people.
Trump told a campaign meeting last year that if it was up to Steven Miller, there would only be 100 million people living in the US – and all of them would look like Miller… So you probably aren’t wrong.
It’s at least partly eugenics, which is a common undercurrent in the anti-vaccine movement. Remove healthcare altogether and only the “strongest” will survive.
Right - that’s essentially what I’ve presumed it is.
It’s sort of passive eugenics, with an amusingly ironically stacked deck.
They apparently aren’t actually confident that whites are the strongest, because before they started gutting healthcare, they went out of their way to put minorities at a disadvantage.
It’s most likely that that’s what all the DEI uproar is about, and specifically why it’s been so capricious and poorly implemented. The goal is to make employers afraid that if they hire minorities, they’re going to get sued by Trump and have to try, and likely fail, to prove that it wasn’t DEI, so they’ll just avoid hiring minorities in general. So then, by crippling Medicaid (and even attaching a work requirement to it if they can get away with it), the kakistocrats will have arranged things so that jobless people will die, and minorities will be more likely to be jobless.
And the whole thing not coincidentally provides the additional benefit of compelling people to be employed, no matter how shitty and poorly paid the job is, which is what the wealthy parasites need to maintain their ill-gotten and undeserved privilege.
Not-rich simply do not matter to these people. Especially for this fucking Kennedy reject. He’s always hated the rabble.
They’re fascists, of course they want to kill people
The preventive care portion of the ACA was recently upheld. But who decides what is considered preventative… and now what are they doing to said panel….
Aw shit, here we go again
