Today on “Post Reports,” we unpack President-elect Donald Trump’s seemingly contradictory picks for the top positions in public health – in particular, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Noooo! Guy ate roadkill, undercooked pork to get brainstorm. Also he's inviting diseases like Polio,Whooping Cough,measles etc terrible I once got strep throat from drinking raw milk. I know how to eat healthy and take noncontroversal meds. Stay away jfk
RFK Jr will not make America healthy whatsoever. For in all honesty, this country is more healthy now than what we all would be after RFK Jr embarks on a campaign of medical stupidity. And, saying that RFK Jr is 100% qualified to be HHS Secretary is like saying Josh Duggar, Danny Masterson and R Kelly are all 100% innocent men.
I had polio as a kid 1950s. I wouldn't wish that on any one. I lost a year. Drop kick RFK jr out of my life, my kids' lives, my grankids' lives!!!!! Crappy snack food isn't as awful as an iron lung!
If you helped get our nation together and do your part in raising our spirits, the physical health will follow right behind! WaPo you are become a disease machine.
More than before it becomes evident to me so much non sense takes shape for the sake of blasting minds that seem outrageous. It's indeed rare, rarer yet today, to escape being trapped in blasting outrageous minds, these wouldn't vanish but the blasting mind gets blasted. These don't care because the entire world seems on their side.
How do most of you guys still balance life, even with the downturn of the economy and ever increasing life standards. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life✊🙏🇺🇸
American food is rubbish as you use corn syrup in everything instead of sugar,neither is good but use proper food, also a lot of colours used in food is banned just about everywhere, Jamie Oliver did a series of what Americans ate just watch that
Imagine how many lives could have been saved if our well below par Public Health Agencies had offered valuable health information, prior the COVID-19 vaccines (when we learned about COVID), and how to improve our immune systems! I contend there would have been many thousands of lives saved. Instead they did virtually nothing. A study out of Israel (and out of Italy or possibly Spain as well) showed that there was a 14x's greater likelihood of bad outcomes (meaning hospitalization and death), from COVID if your vitamin D level was low (below 30 ng/ml). These subjects were tested for vitamin D levels prior. Many if not most people, who live in the northern hemisphere, are deficient in vitamin D.
Now imagine if the CDC had: 1.) Recommended getting your vitamin D levels checked and optimized! 2.) Recommended eliminating or reducing alcohol. Alcohol consumption increased during COVID! Alcohol lowers your immunity to all sorts of disease, not just COVID. 3.) Recommended losing weight. Obesity was one of the highest risk factors for bad outcomes. The US ranks as one of most obese industrialized countries. 4.) Recommended exercise. Exercise helps improve the immune system and mental health, which might have addressed some of the depression experienced during the pandemic. 5.) Recommended avoiding or minimizing sugar. Sugar lowers immunity. 6.) The list could be infinitely longer.
Imagine having a Public Heath System launched a campaign for these recommendations like they did for the COVID vaccine! The lives saved could have been significant.
We need to wake up as a nation and realize how bad our Public Health System is and how poor our health has been (it's getting worse). By demonizing Kennedy for HHS, you are eliminating a potential silver lining in the Trump Administration. Otherwise we might get screwed even more!
I am a lifelong liberal who has voted Democratic since 1980. I did not vote for Trump. I have been involved in health and have been an environmental health activist for years.
I welcome any and all feedback. Please refrain from slurring me or others. Let's make this forum about awareness and open discussion.
The Washington Post's Lauren Weber could have reported on how poor the current Public Health system is and how its lack of reasonable health decisions could have saved lives – probably thousands during COVID. She could have called out our systems many shortcomings over the past 4 plus decades. Instead she chose to misrepresent many of RFKs positions on health policy. Some of the audio excerpts she used were taken out of context.
The FDA has authorized many drugs (and other substances) that have killed thousands of people, not to mention food additives. Recently the FDA's authorization of Purdue Pharma's OxyContin has played a significant role in the opioid crisis, leading to 10s of thousands of deaths. Roundup (glyphosate), an herbicide was found guilty by the courts for causing Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It has been used ubiquitously on our food crops and by homeowners. During the court hearings, it was discovered through emails that the EPA and Monsanto (the company responsible for glyphosate) colluded in hiding research on the negative health effects of the herbicide. For decades, glyphosate has been linked to endocrine disruption – my ex was a public health educator. Endocrine disruption means it interferes with our hormonal system, therefore our quality of health and development. There is a long list of known chemicals (including plastic toxins) in our food, water, and air that have been linked to disease and death.
Both reporters appear to be lacking in basic public health information. They needed to have performed better research, to present a more accurate picture of our Public Health system and its dangerous health decisions and associated policies.
By the way, the US has more comorbidities (multiple chronic illness) than any other industrialized country. Why aren't the news media focusing on the below information that we are face with. 1.) The US had some of the worst outcomes from COVID-19 among the industrialized countries. Ranked 14th (231 countries included in data by Worldometer) in most deaths from COVID-19. 2.) The US. is ranked #1 in multiple chronic conditions. 3.) The US is ranked #1 spending country worldwide when it comes to health care. 4.) The US is ranked at 48th in the world in life expectancy, just above Estonia. 5.) The U.S. records more than 5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, far exceeding the rates in other high-income countries.
These reporters are offering some information that is misleading (in some cases) and avoids the dramatic problems in our current Public Health system. They also avoid the corporate money that is affecting our system. This could be one of the main reasons for our poor policies and poor health.
Are these reporters captured by corporate money? Are they captured by the Democratic party. Were George Washington and John Adams accurate with their warning against political parties undermining our democracy? I think our democracy is being undermined by political parties.
I am a lifelong liberal, who has voted Democratic since 1980. I never voted for Trump. Please respond and push back as you see fit. I know some things that may enlighten you. Thank you.
Not if he's anti-vax!

I once got strep throat from drinking raw milk. I know how to eat healthy and take noncontroversal meds. Stay away jfk
Brainworm stay away jfk
Nope
I always use toothpaste prescribed by my dentist. The amount of fluoride in drinking water is miniscule anyway.
How about the 🐻 in Central Park?

He’s a quack who will bring back leeches.

Wow. Love. Amen. Okay.
Will the Jets or Giants win the superbowl?😅

If he actually takes all of the bad ingredients out of things, I'd go with yes, but debatable.
remember when the media used to ask questions, instead of shilling for the establishment 100% of the time?
I already know this is going to be corporate propaganda.

What type of medical procedure or medication can help with his voice? How come no one is talking about that? 😜🤔
