RFK Jr. models the new HHS-approved face mask
“We are worried about the wide-ranging impact that all these decisions [by RFK Jr.] will have on America’s health security… This is unacceptable, and it should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings.”
Op-ed signed by 9 former CDC Directors published in The New York Times
Bring Out Your Dead is the new mantra of the Department of Health and Human Services. An official HHS press release announcing the department’s new logo, in which a black crow replaces the former bald eagle, quoted Iowa Senator Joni Ernst in reminding the American people that we are all going to die.
HHS Director RFK Jr. (perhaps on advice from the worm in his brain) has ordered that death-postponing health interventions including vaccinations and water fluoridation be replaced by less costly measures such as drinking raw milk and swimming in polluted streams.
RFK Jr.’s policies were endorsed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who pointed out that lowering life expectancy would do much to postpone the projected bankruptcy of the Social Security program.
As someone who grew up on raw milk from our farm (and milked a cow by hand from age 10 to age 17), what most folks do not understand is that straining and refrigerating milk that one obtains directly from the cow oneself is quite different in expectations from one who might purchase raw milk from someone else. That someone else may not be as rigorous in their cleanliness technique in obtaining, straining and refrigerating that milk. Why? Because commerce has entered the picture.
When commerce enters the picture, folks are more likely to take risks that they normally would not take. For example, if a piece of dirt fell off the cow into my milk pail, whatever milk I had in that pail was thrown out and a new pail was used for the remainder of the process. It becomes too easy to simply use one's hand to remove that piece of dirt from the pail when one can get $$$ for every gallon of raw milk. Who will ever know? Right? That salmonella or anthrax infection that the buyer obtained could have come from any source so why should I worry-I'm making money, right?
What worked in a much smaller circle of trust 50+ years ago no longer works. Our world is full of folks who promise one thing and deliver another. Who to trust is a crap shoot, unfortunately. Even if I found a raw milk supplier that I trusted, there's always that possibility that they could mess up that one time that could, in turn, be fatal to their customer. Our perfect modern day metaphor of spoiled milk disguised as Grade A is Donald J. Trump.....
