Everything’s become an opinion piece from conservative “news” outlets to even government health agencies.
Trump hired his cabinet members for mainly just two reasons: 1) loyalty to him and not going to question Trump 2) telegenic and looks/sounds good on tv.
Fox News personalities make up the majority of his cabinet because they’re both fiercely loyal to Trump and have years of tv and media experience. With Kennedy, Trump fawns over the Kennedy legacy and desperately wants to be loved like JFK.
I don’t trust any agency under Trump’s control.
Trump lies and hires liars.
**Step 1:** Train your populace to not trust institutions for years
**Step 2:** Destroy those institutions so people REALLY cannot trust them
**Step 3:** Tell everyone “i told you so” about said institutions are not to be trusted.
**Step 4:** Blame liberals for ruining it
**Step 5:** Gain complete control over said institutionby removing whistleblowers/scientists that dont toe the line of the admin.
It’s their ultimate goal. Conservatives hate government so they’ve always been about breaking it. But now they’ve taken the next step and made every single level of government a disinformation factory so nobody will ever be able to trust anything they say ever again. This is how they win even if they eventually lose power again.
You’ll never again be able to trust the federal government. They’ve completely broken it.
Just in case any Americans are looking for reliable health information

My pharmacist looked so weary when I asked him about the Covid vax. And it’s only just begun…
Yep… I was looking up the childhood vaccine schedule to see how close my kids are to completing their’s… Ended up looking at some children’s hospital site instead of the CDC because I didn’t know what RFK had manipulated already
I saw that there is ongoing work to move climate data that is in the public domain to [climate.us](https://climate.us), I wonder if there will be a similar effort to move CDC related data.
Another victim of misinformation, charlatans and opposite world. Fuck RFKjr, fuck the snake oil wellness industry. The anti science crowd. May the rugged individualist learn a fucking lesson.
May as well change their name to Department of Disease since they’re no longer about controlling them.
Make Plagues Great Again!
Maga is happy because the cdc is finally as broken as they imagined it was all along.
so where do we get the information we need to not succumb to the death demands this fuck is trying to put on us ?
MAGAs from red states should follow exactly what CDC says. This is the CDC of their choice, after all.
You cannot trust a syllable coming out to the WH and any part of the Executive Branch The entire Cabinet is all hanger on charlatans jockeying for attention and have no issue debasing themselves giving verbal “I love you” blowjobs to Trump live on TV. And they think it’s normal to do it and for us to see that as well.
Before 2016, I never thought America would elect as president a convicted criminal promising to rule as a dictator.
The 2016 election result showed me that America is so racist and stupid that there is no bottom. Any white man can be president, even a rapist and pedophile.
People are going to die. Can’t believe leaders are okay with that.
You can’t trust american product, policy, tradition, or agency either.
It’s crazy how many of our critical systems ran on the premise of “No one is dumb/evil enough to fuck with this”
And this is why I continue to mask up in crowded public places. We can no longer count on our government to look out for our safety and well being.
That’s because the black sheep of the Kennedy clan fucked it all up.
Science has always prioritized rational thought over institutional power, f/ex: Galileo and the Catholic Church. In the end, scientific organizations often have the final say when facts are considered.
Trump, MAGA, and the GOP have long seen this as a threat. During COVID, they demonized Anthony Fauci, and tried convincing people that hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin were effective. The CDC had other ideas.
During Trump 2.0, they simply eviscerated the CDC.
EDIT: And they are now targeting [Wikipedia.](https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/house-republican-wikipedia-israel-bias-probe-rcna228120)
You cannot trust any .gov website. They have been completely scanned for certain keywords and censored. Then all their data were leaked to a private entity.
And the worst part? Even if we finally manage to get rid of the GOP administration, they most probably injected backdoors in these systems and still won’t be trustworthy.
There’s not a lot I trust coming from our current government.
I’m getting my health information from other countries that haven’t been overrun by anti-science fascists.
You can now safely ignore every single govt site.
I was googling information on a common childhood illness that my kid picked up (they’re fine, just a mild case of hand foot and mouth), and clicked on a search result that I immediately backed out of once I realized it was the CDC. It’s sad that the people of this country can’t trust anything the government puts out anymore. When actual experts are replaced by unqualified sycophants, we all suffer.
It’s war.
We currently have a Covid outbreak in the city I live in. I’d never know this if I didn’t have friends who work in area hospitals. The CDC map of cold/flu/illness has us in the green.
We are so fucked.
The current administration is giving the Conservapedia treatment to our most prized, trusted, information sources. The facts, reached through data, don’t confirm their worldview enough, so the destruction of those facts are their goal.
This is going to take decades to recover from, if we ever do. I don’t understand why people aren’t freaking out about this more.
