Republicans usher in an “unleash the plague” era with RFK and Elon Musk’s attacks on public health

Although she recently lived this around the world A pandemic kills more than a million AmericansRepublicans have decided that what the world now needs is more deadly infectious diseases. This matter was clarified this week, as Republicans in Congress have blessed efforts by the Donald Trump administration to prevent both local and international efforts to prevent infectious diseases.

On Tuesday, Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee voted to move forward with Trump’s health and humanitarian candidate (HHS), Robert Kennedy, the most famous in the world, regret, and deny effective vaccines. Kennedy has spent two decades of diving so far in a bunny of conspiracy theory It now seems to suspect even the theory of basic germs. Although Kennedy has repeatedly claimed that he is not an erasure of the eoterity throughout the hearing, his statements The vaccines are loaded with the words of Ibn Arms and warnings this Common deviation strategies from vaccine denials.

This came immediately after reports stating that although HIV/AIDS programs will not be affected by Trump’s “stop” in the exchange of funds, He stopped the technical billionaires other than the elected Elon Musk Al -Mal However, as part of his efforts to install himself as up to a secret dictator. Dramatic and immediate effect. “At least 300 children did not have HIV, do now”, because they did not have drugs to prevent the virus from adhering to children born to mothers with HIV. Every day this continues, and more unnecessary transportation will occur.

Moreover, Musk’s illegal efforts to destroy the United States Agency for International Development without the approval of Congress stopped international efforts to reduce the spread of the disease. The situation as well I even informed him of Fox News about that. They quoted ATUL GAWANDE, former head of global health, explaining that both Ebola flu and birds erupted, but “our efforts to contain it have been closed.” He explained: “We were about to end HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. All of this ended with this temporary suspension.” These closures come in the wake of other Trump procedures, including stopping Research financing in the National Institutes of Health and Cut relations with the World Health Organization.

One might think that viruses and bacteria that have tortured humanity since an offensive timing will not find a friend in this type – humans – they get sick and kill routinely. But at the present time, the Republicans protect these germs as if they were donated with great campaigns. It seems as if they want people to get sick and die, and the way they wage war on anyone overlapping with the transmission of the disease.

It seems that these new Republicans suffer from gastric disease that stems directly from the right’s reaction to the Covid-19. From the beginning, Trump refused this as a “trick” or a theories of a floating plot that “the deep state” was preventing some miracle treatment. As for the Great Maga, the virus has become a point and the cultural war. Covid-19 was seriously taken, so refusing to accept the reality of the epidemic became a decisive identity sign for Maga, which led to the refusal to wear masks or vaccination, even when their societies lost people by thousands.

It seems that this childish refusal of medical science has since spread in the hatred of Maga is larger not only vaccines, but any effort to prevent the spread of the disease. ((Even washing your hands is stigmatized on the right Now, add another reason to the lint so that they do not shake their hands.) And a well -known value for experts. But there may be a darker feature of this new affection for the disease among Republicans: birth control.

“Enterprise improvement is a Rosetta stone for many Trump’s agenda,” The famous political world of Omar Weso on Bluezki Monday. It is not exaggeration. He was talking about Darren BettyHe was expelled as a letter of speech in Trump in 2018 after his white national activities were eliminated, but he is now disposing of the minister for public diplomacy and public affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My home has a long history indicating that he believes only white men are able to be leaders.

The offspring is part of Maga. Trump carried out a campaign in 2024 on the pretext that the immigrants It is “blood poisoning” and suggests that they have “bad genes”. He has escalated since he took office to an open longing for genocide, He promised that he was “cleaned” of the Palestinians and American forces present to Israel to do so. Parton is also documented by “Digby” The first Trump administration, Trump has alluded to his belief in the improvement of birth controls now, indicating that white people have “good genes” and argue for humans like “sweat horse”. Trump is committed to the view that intelligence comes from the genes of white people to the point that he does not need to read or learn anything because he knows how to do everything automatically. During the notorious moment in which people suggested that their lungs be whiten to treat Covid-19, he referred to this opinion, pointing to his head and saying “well you know him” It means that medical science understands better than doctors.

As usual, people who believe in the superiority of white race refute him with their existence, but there is a good reason to fear that this motivation behind the offspring has been rooted and grew in the Maga circles. The journalist, Naomi Klein, also documented in her book “Doppleganger: a trip to the mirror world”, the epidemic led to large numbers of people who argue that the infectious disease is good because it is supposed to prevent the weak from gathering genes. While many who felt this way know better than saying in public places, there was an explosion of encrypted versions of this argument of right -wing “well -being” influencers, who often argue that “healthy” people do not do this need the vaccine. But although they did not say this explicitly, this argument often implicitly assumed that those who consider “unhealthy” do not deserve to live.

Kennedy’s confirmation session was widespread with these offspring effects. As I am Documented last week, Kennedy refused to confess The real causes of high health care costs, our healthcare system and wealth dispers that exacerbate medical problems. Instead, draw people with chronic diseases as parasites absorb all our resources. He also blamed them in their circumstances, which were almost attributed to poor meals. In his opening statement, he went to the extent of denying the humanity of people with complete chronic diseases, saying, “A good healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person has only one.” For some reason, the statement issued the notification of most people, but it was an explicit confirmation that someone in a wheelchair or diabetes could not have a full life with aspirations, love or plans for their future.

This situation, which has exceeded the Maga racism, has a long way towards explaining the non -street hostility towards the United States Agency for International Development and other programs that do a lot to stop the spread of the disease around the world. Frankly, the white outstanding people do not see the problem in leaving deadly diseases rupture through the population of countries where most citizens are not white. They see that it is “the execution of the herd” to allow what Trump calls “good genes” of eggs with prosperity.

It should not scratch much of the surface to see this. It was also documented on TuesdayMusk’s passion for the US Agency for International Development is formed by his white national followers on X, especially Michael Benz, the influencer Maga who previously wrote that “Hitler had already had some decent points.” Each of Benz and Musk I defended the theory of “great replacement” conspiracyThe idea of ​​the new Nazis is that the nefarious forces-the usual Jews or Democrats-have secretly published a campaign to increase the number of white people to eliminate white people. Benz expressed his regret when he sees it “a white demographic suicide.” Musk has 11 children Often the ideas supporting the gear. This revolves as neutral for sweat, but it is not a coincidence that the right -wing extremist circles are obsessed with raising birth rates that tend to be a white liquid.

Racism is great and immoral, but it is also stupid, non -scientific and unfinished. PandeMic Covid-19 was just another reminder that viruses did not check your racist identity on your leaves before you decide your injury. Before that, HIV was reminding the dramatic world that viruses are not concerned with social constructions on what the skin color puts you in any group of people. But Maga refused to listen during the Covid-19s, continuing as if the white would protect them, even when they died by thousands. The driver caused by the descendants has always refused, even because it pretends to be “scientific”. The whole world will pay the price if people like Musk and Kennedy are on their way.
