Summary

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to eliminate the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP) and dissolve the Office of Minority Health as part of a broader HHS restructuring that will cut 20,000 positions.

OIDP, key to vaccine promotion and HIV prevention, oversees programs like the national vaccine strategy and “Ending the HIV Epidemic.”

Its functions may be absorbed into a new agency, the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA).

The move raises concerns about public health impacts, especially amid declining vaccination rates.

I honestly can’t see how this can be believed by anyone to be good news. I strongly disagree with most changes being made, like gutting the education department, but I get it. Uneducated Populations make for more obedient ones if history tells us anything.
Removing vaccine protection is a whole other level of messed up. The only objective that seems to make sense is to weaken the US at a molecular level. Almost like poisoning a well before an attack. It is meant to weaken, cripple and distract the enemy.
We all have a pretty good notion to the answer to this question I think, but people from all beliefs and walks of life in the US should be asking who benefits the most from a fundamentally weakened United States?
- A lot of people still see HIV/Aids as a lgbtq or POC only disease. If it's going to help the "right" people suffer, they'll call it a win.
  
  That is what all of this is about. Make the right people suffer. The dumb fucks that are pushing this never think past the cruelity.
- Death and squalor drive people to the churches a lot faster than healthy good times
