Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related

Locked. This is not the forum for political commentary

Drug addict says, "fuck you, I got mine"

"This administration is so unpredictable!"

Is it though? It seems pretty simple:

Does it help people and not directly benefit the ultra wealthy? Kill it.

Does it hurt people we don't like or boost the oppressive power of the state? Boost it!

That seems to be the Trump administration in a nutshell.

Kennedy argues the crisis requires deeper societal change beyond “nuts and bolts” solutions, while public health advocates condemn the move as dangerously premature.

Putting aside that "nuts and bolts" isn't even the right metaphor here, why wouldn't you save lives right now at the same time you, you know, fix society? This guy stops every few steps to chew his gum?

56 million to drop the OD death rate by nearly a quarter? This is exactly the sort of thing I want to see my taxes doing, directly improving people's lives, and the cost is a drop in the bucket for federal budgets.

And his reasoning is bullshit, you can work to address the deeper cause while mitigating the symptoms, it isn't an either/or

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

End yourself RFKJ.

This is the same man who once sawed the head off of a whale, strapped it to his roof, then forced his children to endure being rained upon by whale juice.

Just internalize that. This man is in charge of health

Pro-Life Party in action.

“Much has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada,” Trump said. “But we have very large deficits with both of them. But even more importantly, they have allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and many very young, beautiful people, destroying families. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.”

My, how quickly they abandoned the 'we must protect our people' reasoning used to justify tariffs.

Past? Have you drug tested him? Does he seem altogether put together?

I was at a music festival and a group of people were saying their friend stopped breathing. We confirmed and i supplied the narcan from a donation program and a friend who has administered it before brought him back while we called for paramedics who came within a few minutes and took over. The guy survived. RFKjerk wants that guy to have died. He has zero place in health or the government

Well, opioid deaths were going down. Can't be having effective policy in this administration.

RFK, like the rest of the oligarchs, cannot appreciate how society allowed him to live his best life.

Daily reminder not to feed into bullshit talking points about fentanyl from the borders. Nothing this administration does is about fentanyl, fentanyl is just the new marijuana or crack - a justification for exploitation and abuse. For blaming minorities and foreigners.

Don't get me wrong - fentanyl is fucked. There is a real crisis out there.

But this administration doesn't give a shit about that crisis. They never have, they never will. Here is exhibit A.

Kennedy argues the crisis requires deeper societal change beyond "nuts and bolts" solutions, while public health advocates condemn the move as dangerously premature.

So do that first brain worm. You could keep the program going while you work on all that.

Of course he does. This mush mouthed brain dead stack of rotten shoe leather is a COMPLETE disgrace to the Kennedy name. The only thing keeping this sorry sack of shit out of a white jacket and a rubber room is his family's legacy AND MONEY.

We are being cleansed. It's pretty obvious isn't it?

Depopulation of the unwanted by those above us.

Republicans fully committed to their platform of spite and hate.

He is a danger to us all. The whole starting tariffs to punish Canada and Mexico for fentanyl making its way into the country was obviously a farce. They don’t give one single fuck about anybody but themselves!

deeper societal change

Like UBI? Or a reduction in work hours? Or education programs? This jerk won't do any of that.

This sucks. I worked in EMS through the peak of the opioid epidemic, and once Narcan became commonplace and widely available, our OD calls dropped noticably.

I honestly have no words... This one is hitting me in ways that I cannot describe. What these people have done to my generation through the creation of this epidemic is inhumane, and this step back has made me have a full blown cry. Hug the ones you love, you never know who is suffering. If you are reading this and you are suffering as well, know that you are loved too.

Past addiction?

Nurgle would be proud.

He just summarily wiped out a large portion of the MAGA voting base in the southeast.
