Definitely. It already happened during covid. I remember people I had thought were relatively smart up to that point telling me with a straight face that they had taken ivermectin - a drug meant for horses! - or their parents had taken it. There were a number of stories of right-wing radio talk show hosts in various cities dying because they refused to take the covid vaccine and had told their listeners not to take it, and then when they were told they had to go on the ventilator and realized they were going to die they finally changed their tune. And I have no doubt that many of his supporters will behave the same way again.

Just as you need to sell your pumpkin futures before Halloween, you need to take the vaccine before you get sick.

We just need to run the clock out on his term.

How? His party controls every part of the federal government. Congressional Republicans have made clear that they aren't going to stop him, and right now literally the only thing stopping him and Musk and his other minions from quite literally gutting the federal government are federal judges, who can be overruled by higher courts. And if they decide to just ignore court rulings who is going to stop them? Yes the Democrats might win control of Congress in 2026, but there's no guarantee and that's still nearly two years away. If we had just a year or so left in his term "running out the clock" might work, but there's just too much time left, imo. There is no good way out of this mess, and it's all going to get very, very ugly before it's over.

What component of this “project” does “end vaccines” serve?

I’m inclined to think at 30,000ft or 3”, so I often miss explanations like “sometimes, smart people act real dumb and/or hateful”, particularly when the evidence is so blatantly counter to the decisions made. I’m looking at this wave of anti-science and can’t help but to think it’s a component of an intentional culling. I mean, in less than a month, this administration has actualized and given license to decisions that will likely result in millions of avoidable future deaths and disabilities.

I think it’s a meshing of the “government can’t tell me what to do” and the “anti-intellectual” wings of the Republican Party finding common ground on being against vaccines.

And, of course, these two groups of ne’er-do-wells found each other during COVID and this is an extension of that fight.

gd, the dumbf*cks on the DOGE/Mango Duce train:

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them

The USDA fired officials working on the bird flu and are trying to locate them

You can't make this sh*t up. If we're lucky, we'll die from the bird flu before the nookyular meltdown.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that, over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak.
The agency said it is now trying to quickly reverse the firings.

Check out Feigl-Ding’s Wikipedia page for a few hours and if you can figure out what he does, help me understand.

Feigl-Ding's work focuses on epidemiology, health economics, and nutrition ... professional experience in nutritional epidemiology and epidemiology of chronic disease. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, his research work and expertise primarily focused on the health effects of diet and exercise.
Doesn't have expertise in infectious diseases (COVID-19, etc), but Feigl-Ding went viral on Twitter after expressing his worries about the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak virus' basic reproduction number

Help me distill that down into something less expansive and more practical

I find Feigl-Ding to sometimes come off as sensationalist and click-baiting like a lot of modern day social media self-promoters, but I don't really see the logic behind just destroying stockpiled COVID tests.
 
Mennonite community might make it German measles? I guess rubeola or rubella it's coming for the unvaxed "rubes"!

RFK Jr., onetime environmentalist, kills NIH climate change programs

"... These NIH programs do not focus on the causes of climate change. Instead, they concentrate on research and training to protect people from the health consequences of extreme weather events.

... Callahan, the Kennedy aide who wielded the axe, served as chief of staff to the deputy HHS secretary during the first Trump administration. Prior to that he was a Republican operative, who worked several jobs in the GOP world, including director of political and field operations at the Republican Party of Wisconsin and direct marketing manager at the National Republican Congressional Committee. For the past four years, he has been a principal at the Hargan Group, a healthcare industry consulting firm.

As climate change progresses, research has increasingly pointed to the many health threats it poses. According to a 2022 study, more than half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by the crisis, including dengue and malaria.

... In the past weeks, Elon Musk’s crusade to dismantle large chunks of the federal government has targeted climate-change-related programs. The HHS decision to stop funding the NIH programs appear to be in sync with that, and it certainly jibes with Trump’s long-running and baseless denial of the climate crisis. (He has called it a hoax originating in China.) HHS did not respond for a request for comment. ..."
