Go for it Ed. I hope everyone is reading this. We must support vaccinations to prevent the spread of diseases and listen to what science tells us.

Thanks, Jeanette. The best that might happen is to get him out, but if at least one person gets vaccinated because of this, I will be happy.

Thank you for your persistence and dedication to good health practices. You are chronicling the most serious attack on the American health system by a person who is so deranged and deluded to think he is on a mission to protect us from ourselves. Trump's assault on every component of American Democracy is staggering, but a majority of the populace put the wheels in action. It is easy to find the multiple villains in Trump's dreamscape, but the fault is imbedded in the very core of the demographics of this continent's original immigrants. For 250+ years, the battle between democracy and autocracy has been waged with no decisive victor. Maybe the next 3 1/2 years will determine the ultimate victor from the vanquished.

Well stated. Yes, we're at a major crossroad. For me, it's stunning and hard to understand how someone like Kennedy gets into a critical leadership position. Will people learn, even as they get sick and die because of him?

The guy is nuts, Ed. Who also saws off a shark’s head with a chain saw and displays it openly in the back of a pickup truck ?

Yes, and the nut is dragging us down. Hard to believe.

Ed-it cannot be emphasized how dangerous this man is to the public health of the United States. His actions may cause much harm to the health of our citizens, and even more likely, deaths. Someone has to figure out how to stop these incompetent actions by this deranged individual.

Many will die at his hand, Mike. I am especially concerned about bird flu, for which we have no defense. And he has canceled vaccine research thereof. Yes, a dark, disingenuous, dangerous man.

Spot on, Ed. Why he is tolerated and why there is no oversight group to prevent someone like this from holding the job he has is beyond me. This is more evidence that the US is becoming a kakistocracy.

Yes, Ned, it's hard to understand and rather frightening. I am dismayed and angry with Senator Cassidy, a disingenuous, sycophantic physician who ushered him in and has been remarkably silent. He does not answer my inquiries. I'm afraid many will suffer, many will die. And I'm scared to death of bird flu. The Secretary has canceled all vaccine research on it.
