Was I wrong? Because if I was Im cool seeing where I went off track
No, you weren't wrong. My comment was that this makes me want to check out on reality just like he wanted to check out on reality, not that you're the one sniffing glue.

Here’s a clear update on what’s happening with the ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices):
What happened?- On June 9, 2025, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 existing members of ACIP, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and what he called a “rubber‑stamp” culture in vaccine oversight .
- He replaced them with just eight new appointees, including some individuals reputed to be vaccine skeptics or with limited expertise in immunology or vaccinology
- ACIP’s role: It advises the CDC on vaccine recommendations, which directly influences insurance coverage, school entry requirements, and national immunization schedules .
- Impact on public health: Critics—including former committee members—say the move undermines public trust, threatens vaccination rates, and risks rising outbreaks of preventable diseases .
- The new ACIP is meeting June 25–26, 2025, focusing on topics like flu vaccines (including thimerosal), RSV, and HPV—but notably excluding COVID‑19 vaccine recommendations .
- Many public health experts argue this marks a shift away from evidence‑driven fact‑based input toward a more politicized, less transparent process .
- Groups like CIDRAP are now forming separate independent advisory panels in response, aiming to preserve impartial, expert guidance for U.S. vaccine policy .
Kennedy’s overhaul of ACIP is an unprecedented shake-up of the nation’s primary vaccine advisory board. While intended, he says, to restore public confidence by removing perceived conflicts, many experts warn it dismantles a long-standing, science-based foundation, replacing it with a less proven, more ideologically aligned group. This change has already prompted resignations from top CDC scientists and sparked bipartisan concern from medical organizations. The long-term impacts on vaccine policy, public trust, and prevention of disease outbreaks remain uncertain.
It’s still pretty effed up. Pretty much the worst fears about RFKJr and HHS are coming true. He is the absolute worst member of the administration. And, just as a reminder, he was a Democrat yesterday.

I think she was making the point that HHS Director knew nothing about one of the nation’s largest healthcare organizations was under investigation for Medicare fraud more than she was defending United Healthcare.AOC defending United Healthcare???

That's a bunch of bs. Regardless of what you think of the guy, in the rooms he is Robert, addict. Nothing more nothing less. To use his recovery for a political attack is disgraceful and shows a complete lack of understanding of what 12 step programs are and what they do.
AOC defending United Healthcare???
In the clip she wasn't. The gist was if the Trump administration is all in on government waste and are investigating one of the largest for profit insurance companies for fraud, why are they allocatiolng an extra 25 billion in government payments to that industry next year? The clip cut off before he responded to that comment.

Marc Veasey grew up in some mean streets in Dallas Texas , lost many of his family and friends to drugs has vowed to fight drug addition and opioid crisis as a campaign promise and has written several bills at trying to do just that and sits on the bi Parisian Committee to fight drug Addiction
What kind of wearable? Are we talking fitness watches for everyone? And if so where does that data go? Do individual health insurance rates go up if we don't get enough steps in? Or is it his goal that we make a national effort to improve health to the point that everyone is watching what they eat and how much they exercise.
The latter is noble but if that is the case there would have to be a national restructuring of how certain foods are available and affordable. Its one thing to say we should all be on a high fiber low processed food diet. Its another when a large portion of the nation is choosing a $1.25 box of box of spaghetti and a $2 jar of ragu for dinner because healthier options are gonna cost 5 times as much and take twice as long to prepare. People dont eat canned fruits and vegetables because they taste better than the fresh stuff. Its because things canned and packed with preservatives are cheaper and they don't have to worry about something like fresh strawberries spoiling 3 days after it is purchased.
The he should know better.
I think she was showing that he has no clue.AOC defending United Healthcare???
