RFK Jr.'s callous purge of public health staffers puts us all at risk

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘The Department of Health and Human Services, led by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, has kicked off a sweeping round of layoffs, cutting roughly 10,000 employees as part of a so-called reorganization effort, which was announced last week.

With these cuts—alongside resignations and workers who took President Donald Trump’s buyouts—HHS has now shrunk by nearly a quarter, leaving just 62,000 positions, according to the Associated Press. This marks yet another devastating blow to the federal workforce under Trump: Just last week, the president signed an executive order aiming to revoke the collective bargaining rights of most federal workers.

“We are streamlining HHS to make our agency more efficient and more effective,” Kennedy wrote alongside a video posted to social media, announcing the layoffs last week. “We will eliminate an entire alphabet soup of departments, while preserving their core functions by merging them into a new organization called the Administration for a Healthy America or AHA. This overhaul will improve the health of the entire nation—to Make America Healthy Again.”

But that supposed efficiency comes at a steep cost. Some of the top experts at the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health—scientists and public health officials responsible for drug approvals, disease prevention, and medical research—received their termination notices on Tuesday morning, according to various reports.’

First, let me get the math straight. He has (or will) cut 10,000 positions - "...nearly a quarter..."- leaving just 62,000 remaining. If a 10k cut leaves 62k employees, then the previous (or current) staff is 72k, 10k of whom constitute less than 14%. That is not "nearly a quarter" unless you are a Democrat.

Saying that this staff reduction "puts us all at risk" is totally irrational. And it assumes that the person or people deciding who will go are incompetent, right? But the people making those decisions are not the "teenagers" that Leftists think make up the DOGE team; they are the managers-in-place.

Having worked for the Feds (DoD) for eight years, I have no doubt whatsoever that a 14% cut can be absorbed with no harm to performance.

It is astounding that TDS has made it possible for half of America to believe that all Federal employees are essential, and if there were a 5% cut it would be catastrophic.

We were all put at risk:

1. when democrats took our rights away and mandated vaccinations

2. when democrats allowed the spread of Covid faster by allowing the vaccinated to go to large events including sports games with 80,000 people in attendance when the vaccinated spread the virus just as much as the unvaccinated did (the vaccines reduced symptoms to those vaccinated but did nothing to stop the vaccinated from spreading the virus), not to mention letting masked people out when studies showed that masks did little to stop the spread of Covid. The masked had a false sense of security in thinking that their masks protected them and others when they offered almost no protection. So, they went out and spread the disease.

Wrong.
The things that the HHS allowed were awful.
Like putting mercury in vaccines, allowing multiple vaccines at the same time, vaccinating under 1 year of age, putting toxic fluoride in drinking water instead of toothpaste and mouthwash, etc.
The chemicals they use for food colors, tastes, preservatives, etc., are all highly toxic.

I do not mind mandating vaccinations that work, but clearly the mRNA vaccines not only were fake, but extremely harmful.
