Health officials in Trump administration were accused of fueling ‘crisis of public trust’ over autism and vaccines
Misinformation from top health officials in the Trump administration has created a “crisis of public trust” – and Congress should conduct oversight hearings and possibly impeach officials such as Robert F Kennedy Jr, the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), according to a recently released report.
Experts say that officials in the past year have focused intently on both vaccines and autism, including efforts to connect autism to the use of acetaminophen (frequently sold as Tylenol) during pregnancy, despite growing evidence of no link, and replacing all members of the federal autism committee with advisers who have anti-vaccine and pseudoscientific histories.
Disinformation. It’s intentional.
How about we just go back to “lies” so the simple-minded folks who always fall for that crap can have a chance of “getting it” for once?
It always seems to be the lying authoritarians themselves who shout “LIES” the loudest, and that may be a problem. Because if you do the same thing, even with honest intentions, you become just like them, in the public imagination at least.
But those who pay attention know which is the truth, while yelling “lies” seems to work on the clueless - seems win-win to me.
I actually believe he is so stupid and poisoned by false sources that it isn’t.
