I believe this guy is going to need his own thread.

A department spokesperson confirmed Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham had ordered his staff to stop engaging in media campaigns and community health fairs to encourage vaccinations, even as the state has experienced a surge in influenza.
well, duh
“Public health is really united on this issue: For more than a century, vaccines of all kinds have been a cornerstone of improving public health in America,” Avegno told the city council on Thursday. “There’s not scientific debate on this, this is as close as you can get to established fact that vaccinations, particularly mass vaccinations, and community immunity, saves millions and millions of lives.”
Living in a red state is already basically like living in a 3rd world country. Successful Americans are going end up footing the bill for unvaccinated, 300lbs, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic alcoholic Jimbo Billy Bob and his wife and kids who are even more unhealthy.
I'd be curious what your experience with third world countries is.
People can still get vaccinations if they want to. No one is stopping them.
So the guy in charge of health is a fit individual that leads a healthy lifestyle while the previous one was a fat woman . The outrage
He will do nothing to build trust in medical authorities in those that lacked it, and he'll destroy the trust in medical authorities among those that had it.
To what extent his crackpot theories is going to have a negative impact on American healthcare is an open question. Perhaps, your institutions are folding rather quickly. My guess those that informed themselves before are going to be even more diligent, and those that didn't are going have it worse.
There is of course also the thing about him being a roided up ex-junkie who earned millions on running a "charity" that convinced parents to let their children die.
It will be slightly amusing to see some MAGA-adherents parade around the merits of holistic medicine, but other than that it is just sad.

Or you completely abolish all federal role in the topic , which should never have happened to begin with
remember that it works the opposite, unless something is specifically prohibited by the constitution to be done against you, they can do it.
the federal government has a list of powers (which some see as very strict others as "flexible"), but states have all the residual power to do anything they want to you unless specifically prohibited (10a).
anyway regardless of what we might like to to be, this SCOTUS clearly stated federal congress has the power to mandate vaccination and doesn't even have to demonstrate it's efficacy is above some threshold when they do so (which is why the mandate for healthcare workers was legal) and they only stopped the mandate to normal work rs because the law creating OSHA doesn't cover that, not because congress can't do that.
and the precedent for states is in 1905, never reversed or limited
states can do the **** they want with your body unless specifically prohibited by the constitution. there is no constitutional right to body autonomy at all.

House bill 371, sponsored by State Rep. Greg Kmetz (R-Miles City) and introduced alongside a dozen other Republicans, would ban the use of mRNA vaccinations on humans, and provide for misdemeanors to be issued to violators.
Use tanning beds excessively, inject steroids, and take 10x doses of methylene blue and you too can be paragon of health
Whatever your opinion is of RFK that dipshit goes to the gym in jeans which in of itself is disqualifying shitbro behavior
Also he’s a fucking brainworm dipshit
About time.
Hey BJ have you had the shingles vaccine?
Just curious how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go. I know 2 people who offed themselves after getting it/not getting vaxxed.
You looking to ride the lightning? 😀
