Yes, it’s major dark right now, but there’s a reason these clowns are ramming through all these horrible policies as quickly as possible.
There will be substantial economic failures over the next month and “they” know it.
The wheels are coming off this cart in a period in which a “true” populist would be enjoying favorable poll numbers.
You know as well as I do what’s coming as we head into the fall (PH wise).
Autocracies always seem invincible until suddenly they aren’t.
Constructive to envision the Healthcare system one desires and support those that have that same vision. The “this time we mean it… we’re going to REALLY fix Obamacare if you elect us”.
The goal, IMHO should be Healthcare for all paid for by taxes on the wealthy. How much of a change would the $$$ given away in the OBBBA have made to current and future Healthcare in the US? Stunning to actually consider once you run the numbers.
I thought for sure that the COVID mismanagement would prompt the establishment of a functional Public Health System, independent of political influence, whose only goal was to maximize the well being of our population rather than the Just-In-Time All-for-Profit dystopia that we currently (do not) enjoy.
Otherwise I would maybe not have encouraged my Class of 2021 COVID isolated kid to pursue an MPH in Policy rather than just letting her go into “Fashion Merchandising” 🤦🏼♂️
The only thing I can do is continue to use the scientific method to make strong data driven decisions in my current job. It really saddens me knowing I had started my graduate career with aspirations to be in pharmaceutical or medicinal research. To see it gutted really floors me.
I spent the week with my epidemiologist daughter, who will soon lose her faculty research job because of the cuts you mention. She is one of thousands of bright, motivated people who spent years earning doctorates, only to now be tossed aside in favor of pseudoscience.
As for what this does to all of us, it is almost incomprehensible. Perhaps the reason Vance is encouraging people to have more children is that so many people will now die of preventable diseases or because of a lack of access to medical care. I think we should steal their thunder and call it “the great replacement theory.”
So many ignore the fact (or are ignorant OF the fact) that you pointed out…. science is interdisciplinary.
The domino effects of the pending cuts to science/health are so poorly understood by this group of Neanderthals running the government. I hope the freight elevator to Hell arrives for them all very soon and allows the smarter species to regain control of the universe.
Dr. Love, I enjoy reading your insights here and within the Skeptical Inquirer magazine, keep up the great work!!!
LOVE your work (pun intended)
As does my soon to be MPH daughter…

Thanks again for your valuable work.
Keep the faith. We’ll get through this.

No no no and no.
We use evidence here; try again.
Shove a hot dog up your ass.
Is that how you feed your derangement?
No, your mom told me that's how you take your hot dogs.
