After four months of the Trump Second Term Presidency, it is alarming the extent of the war on science, health, education, and public safety, clearly pure insanity!
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, has undermined confidence in the ability of the federal government to deal with the realities of science, and with the health needs of 330 million Americans.
The attack on vaccines, and the admitted lack of knowledge of the lunatic, RFK Jr, who admits he should not be paid attention to, and yet is making extreme policy changes, is a danger to all Americans, when and if there is a future health crisis, which likely would be greater than the COVID Pandemic.
Research in the Sciences and Medicine fields is being cut, and many talented scientists and doctors are being forced out of their careers, undermining the future of all Americans.
The war on education, particularly on higher education, is interfering with the search for knowledge, facts, and truth, in a whole host of fields of study. Cultural institutions, most notably but not only, the Library of Congress, are under attack, as well.
American Public Safety is also threatened by cuts in the National Weather Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, among other agencies.
America is in unparalleled crisis, in many ways more than since the Civil War, and no easy alternative at this time!

HHS cancels $590 million contract with Moderna for bird flu vaccine.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/28/health/hhs-moderna-bird-flu-vaccine
Trump and RFK Jr. are going to regret that decision if/when bird flu starts spreading from person to person.
RFK Jr. has broken his promise. When he was grilled in his Senate confirmation hearings he said, “I support the measles vaccine. I support the polio vaccine. I will do nothing as HHS secretary that makes it difficult or discourages people from taking either of those vaccines.”
His promise to not make it difficult for people to get their vaccines was obviously a lie.
Well, he also said to not listen to him for advice, so I suggest doctors and other health professionals ignore his advice.
In regards to the Covid vaccine, CNN has some questions and answers about that.
