I would pleased if RFK starts eliminating plastics, micro plastics etc-even if it is not based on real science
but
The plastic and resin manufacturing industry in the United States had a market size of 129.1 billion U.S. dollars as of January 2023. The plastics industry in the United States generated 431 billion U.S. dollars in national shipments in 2019. The plastics industry in the United States employed just under one million people in 2021

I think some serious initiatives regarding microplastics and food quality would be very popular with the general public across the political spectrum. But those would be more difficult because theyā€™re not as tightly regulated as drugs and vaccines.
 


ā€œMeasles cases in the U.S. have hit a three-decade high, reaching the highest yearly total since 1992 in only seven months, according to data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At least 1,288 measles cases have been reported across the U.S. just over halfway through the year, surpassing the 1,274 cases reported in 2019, when outbreaks in New York pushed the national case count to its highest level in decades at the timeā€¦.ā€

Sorry I couldn't find it non paywall. Major new study says the reason that we are fat is because of what we eat, not a sedentary lifestyle. The study compares activity rates of people in the developed world versus hunter-gatherers and farmers and determines that we both burn about the same amount of calories. We're fat because we eat more and eat a lot of ultra processed foods.

I think we already knew that to a certain extent but this study is unique and that it compares different types of societies activity levels, and concludes that it is similar and not the reason we are heavier.

On the constrained total energy expenditure model concept:


Constrained Total Energy Expenditure and Metabolic Adaptation to Physical Activity in Adult Humans - PMC

Current obesity prevention strategies recommend increasing daily physical activity, assuming that increased activity will lead to corresponding increases in total energy expenditure and prevent or reverse energy imbalance and weight gain [1-3]. Such ...

Deciphering the constrained total energy expenditure model in humans by associating accelerometer-measured physical activity from wrist and hip - Scientific Reports

The constrained total energy expenditure (TEE) model posits that progressive increases in physical activity (PA) lead to increases in TEE; but after certain PA threshold, TEE plateaus. Then, a compensatory reduction in the expenditure of non-essential activities constrains the TEE. We...

Canā€™t outwork a bad diet. With that said, think it is a combination of diet and exercise. Plus one of the big issues is that fast food/processed foods are all cheaper relative to healthy foods. Not to say you canā€™t eat healthy on a budget, but fast food/processed foods will stretch the dollar more. There is the convenience factor too. Also think we as a society are more sedentary than the study says. Anecdotally speaking.

I think this was the big find of the study. It showed that we were not more sedentary than folks from other cultures. That's a little hard to believe but data is data.

ā€œā€¦ In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Kennedy condemned what he called corruption in the program and said he had assigned a team to overhaul it and expand who could seek compensation.

He didnā€™t detail his plans but did repeat the long-debunked claim that vaccines cause autism and suggested, without citing any evidence, that shots could also be responsible for a litany of chronic ailments, from diabetes to narcolepsy.ā€¦ā€
 
Short term, modifying the VICP means that it's Christmas for the trial lawyer industry.

Intermediate term, vaccine makers will face a hard choice of whether to leave the US market.

The notion that vaccines are a significant profit center is a canard.
 
Wasnā€™t there an article saying that they want to cut back on preventive tests/scans? Itā€™s as if they want everyone sick šŸ˜

This would be utterly insane, and with the gutting of federal healthcare and research funding weā€™re likely to see healthcare costs accelerate faster than ever. Preventative healthcare keeps costs down for everyone, research funding improves quality of life, longevity, and costs for everyone, and people waiting until catastrophic medical outcomes raises costs for everyone.

We should be careful about the scans, however. CTs alone are thought to contribute to upwards of 5% of all new cancer diagnoses, and the subsequent treatment costs to the system are immense. We need more magnetic resonance imaging capacity.

I am all for anything preventive. Have had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. Try to stay on top of health news. For my physical I get routine bloodwork but have my PCP add an Apo A and Apo B test for cholesterol. Itā€™s extra but so far insurance has covered it.

I also get a yearly lung scan being a former smoker (18 years this past 6/25). I have to kind of push for it. It used to be after 15 years without smoking you didnā€™t need one but the American Cancer Society removed that requirement. The group that sets the standards for physicians and insurance companies hasnā€™t changed. Luckily my primary will put in the order and my insurance covers without questions.

So when I see that they want to dial back preventive care I get a little concerned. I wish I could find the article. Might be solely from an insurance perspective. Maybe felt with this administration (especially RFK Jr) that they could make that move. Hoping I misread it.
