…As #HHS secretary, Kennedy’s skepticism of mainstream #science is no longer just outsider rhetoric; it now shapes official federal #policy. His efforts to reframe the #pandemic’s legacy come as the #US battles its worst #measles resurgence in more than three decades — a crisis experts warn is fueled directly by the type of #vaccine #misinformation & institutional distrust #RFKJr amplified during the broadcast. #Trump #PublicHealth #medicine #eugenics #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

"USAID helped fund key divisions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such as the Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria. Much of that division was focused on the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), a program to combat malaria abroad, as well as other programs to fight neglected tropical diseases." https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5984356-usaid-cuts-cyclospora-response/ #PublicHealth #diarrhea #cyclospora #epidemiology #HHS #FDA #CDC #DOGE #USpol

"Experts have long said the U.S. is underprepared to rein in foodborne outbreaks. But after the Trump administration slashed key officials — from federal employees who investigate the source of illnesses to those who share information with the public — Kennedy appears to face an even more daunting task to contain the parasite and build trust in the administration’s response." https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/23/cyclospora-outbreak-tests-rfk-jr-response-funding-cuts.html #PublicHealth #diarrhea #cyclospora #epidemiology #HHS #FDA #CDC #DOGE #USpol

#Measles Cases Hit New Record in #US, as #Vaccination Rates Wane The #Trump admin under #RFKJr’s #HHS has sent “mixed messages” on vaccinations against measles as cases have continued to climb.

"The Trump administration will not renew direct federal funding of community-based organizations that work on HIV prevention, according to multiple groups impacted by the freeze. The move is the latest step in the administration’s push to eliminate funding for DEI-focused initiatives that help the LGBTQ community. But this one directly contradicts the White House’s push to end the HIV epidemic by 2030." https://rollcall.com/2026/07/20/trump-administration-puts-kibosh-on-hiv-prevention-funding/ #PublicHealth #HIV #prevention #lgbtq #OMB #CDC #HHS #USpol

"The specialists told ABC News that there are several reasons for the U.S. breaking measles case records for the second year in a row, including declining vaccination rates, people not fearing the measles virus, a loss of trust in public health institutions and a perceived lack of clear guidance and communication from the nation's top public health officials." https://abcnews.com/Health/measles-cases-2026-set-surpass-years-total/story?id=134740486 #PublicHealth #measles #outbreak #vaccines #immunizations #HHS #CDC

Trump’s nominee to head #CDC : "Dr. Schwartz would not give clear statements debunking links between #vaccines and #autism. Ouch. "She did not know that the CDC’s Office on #Smoking and Health is, for all practical purposes, closed. (This is despite smoking cessation being the “number one thing” she focused on while serving the Navy.) Ouch. "She claimed to be unaware of a relatively recent #HHS policy spurning mRNA vaccine research. Ouch." https://insidemedicine.substack.com/p/she-blew-it-cdc-director-nominee

#Trump actions signal a move toward #institutionalizing people with #disabilities For decades, #disabled people have fought for their #rights to go to school & live alongside peers without disabilities — rights that some fear could be losing ground under Trump. Last month, the Dept of #Education announced it would shift oversight of #SpecialEducation to #HHS, led by #RFKJr, whose comments on disabilities such as autism are 🦇💩. #law #ableism #discrimination #eugenics https://apnews.com/article/trump-rfk-disability-autism-special-education-institutionalize-c6f064dcf4a1185d23cc5693f4b2df69

"The insurance industry is embracing MAHA, while the doctors’ lobby is pushing against the movement’s leader, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who many physicians see as a danger to public health. The opposing forces could shape Kennedy’s policy decisions on issues ranging from how much doctors earn to treat Medicare patients to how the government regulates medical services." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/28/health-insurers-maha-rfk-doctors-00977386 #healthcare #HealthPolicy #insurance #physicians #HHS #CMS #medicare #MAHA #USpol

Health programs receiving fed funding🚨must agree within days to new priorities from the Trump admin, incl a focus on “parental authority” in ED & a move away from proven overdose-prev methods like harm reduction,🚨 suggesting greater pol control over #PublicHealth. New priorities will likely🚨affect progress against the attack on vax reqs at schools *set at the state & local level. The priorities may #weaponize public health to quash “public disorder.” #HHS #RFKJr #USPol https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/26/trump-administration-overdose-prevention-health-program
