American Healthcare continues to go backward

You know, there is a strange coincidence. South Dakota had a governor that had the same name, was kinda cute, and was just as stupid.
But, nah, look at the pics, it ain't the same chick.

I think the problem with America has been the loss of manufacturing. That is the source of a true trickle down economy.

RFK Jr: "This administration wants to encourage Americans to take control of their health -- to eat right, to have lifestyle changes that save us all. And that's the patriotic thing to do, not only for our country but for every individual American. It's a patriotic duty to keep ourselves healthy."

RFK Jr. ousts two Trump loyalists from HHS top ranks. They were seen by RFK supporters as being installed by the White House to keep tabs on Kennedy and make sure the president's agenda was being prioritized.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired two loyalists of President Trump who were serving in top-ranking posts at his department, multiple people familiar with the situation tell CBS News.
Multiple federal health officials expressed surprise at news of the firings, which ousted chief of staff Heather Flick Melanson and top policy adviser Hannah Anderson.
Anderson and Flick Melanson had led Kennedy's immediate office alongside two other aides, senior counselor Stefanie Spear and executive secretary Cortney McCormick. Spear is a longtime aide to Kennedy, dating back to his longshot presidential bid.
Two federal health officials said Anderson and Flick Melanson were seen as outsiders to Kennedy's base, installed by the White House to keep tabs on Kennedy and make sure the president's agenda was being prioritized.
"The White House pretty much parachuted Heather in there to tether RFK and Stefanie a bit," one official told CBS News.
A Trump ally familiar with the situation praised Anderson, saying she was "a person of impeccable integrity" who "loved working for President Trump."
A spokesperson for the department said that Kennedy has named Matt Buckham, currently the HHS liaison to the White House, as his acting chief of staff. Bukcham currently oversees the recruitment and onboarding of political appointees, the spokesperson said.
"Secretary Kennedy thanks the outgoing leadership for their service and looks forward to working closely with Mr. Buckham as the Department continues advancing its mission to Make America Healthy Again," the spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson did not comment on why they were dismissed.
CNN previously reported news that they had been ousted.
Their firings come after other Trump loyalists have left the department in recent weeks. Scott Rowell, who had served as the deputy chief of staff for operations, also left the department. Rowell previously worked as a top-ranking HHS official during the first Trump administration.
Here’s a summary of the largest employer in each Canadian province (excluding territories), based on recent data:
Provinces
Ontario
Bottom line: In all provinces, the public sector, especially the healthcare authorities, dominate as the largest employers. The provincial governments themselves (including healthcare, education, public administration) typically account for the greatest number of jobs.
Let me know if you’d like a breakdown of private-sector employers per province too!

- Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) – Over 380,000 employees in the healthcare/public sector .
- Government of Quebec – Approximately 640,000 employees across public service, health, education, etc., making it the province’s top employer ().
- Fraser Health Authority – Largest regional health authority with around 45,000 staff and volunteers
- Alberta Health Services (AHS) – Single provincial health authority; roughly 113–128,000 employees, the largest employer in Alberta .

CVS owns the pharmacy and the PBM.
In the future when technology from mRNA vaccines are used to treat cancer and who knows what, people are gonna look at us like we look at doctors back when leeches were used to remove bad humors.
My sister-in-law was in the hospital for almost a week due to complications from diabetes and an infection. Then she was transferred to a rehab facility on Monday. Today she tested positive for Covid.
Through mid-2025 almost 14 billion doses of covid vaccine have been given, covering almost 6 billion people. The US accounts for about 700 million doses to date. Contrast that with about 500 million doses of all other vaccines (including influenza) being given in the US from 2020. This was the most massive public health vaccination campaign of all time, beating even the 1967 smallpox vaccination campaign. There are four things at work here, and if the physician in the video had half a brain he would realize it, but he is thinking with his political (lizard) brain and not his scientific brain:
Politicization - covid vaccination became a political issue, smallpox did not. And as we've seen, how you view events depends entirely on your political affiliation.
Recency bias - the physician in the video doesn't remember the smallpox campaign because it wasn't yesterday like the covid campaign.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc - "I got the stab and two weeks later ran over my left foot with a lawn mower because of it."
Solipsism - the world is bigger than the people he knows.
Adverse effects of the smallpox vaccine
