Discussed in this episode:
- RFK Jr went through some extreme verbal contortions during two days of confirmation hearings to be Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.
- Under orders from the Trump Whitehouse, the CDC’s web page is starting to be purged of data and materials important to public health.
- Donald Trumps’s attempt to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization could limit efforts to contain outbreaks in other parts of the world before they get bigger, and deprive the US of data it would need to formulate a response to an emerging public health threat.
