Ah yes — the “War on Childhood Disease” led by a conspiracy theorist and propped up by a twice-impeached insurrectionist. What could possibly go wrong?

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about protecting children. It’s about laundering anti-science rhetoric and authoritarian overreach through a feel-good headline. RFK Jr. has spent years pushing vaccine misinformation that actively undermines public health, and now he’s been handed the reins of the agency designed to protect it. That’s not reform — that’s sabotage.

And Trump’s new “Make America Healthy Again” commission? Spare me. This is the same man who downplayed a pandemic, suggested injecting bleach, gutted health protections, and spent his entire presidency waging war on science. Now we’re supposed to believe he suddenly gives a damn about childhood illness? This isn’t policy — it’s performance. It’s theater for the gullible, starring the worst possible cast.

And let’s talk about “powerful new solutions.” You mean deregulating pharma oversight? Dismantling the CDC? Replacing public health experts with pseudoscience influencers and Substack grifters? If you think that’s the dawn of a healthier America, you’re not waking up — you’re sleepwalking straight into a controlled demolition of reason.

So no, Feb 13 wasn’t a great day. It was a warning shot. And if you're cheering it on?

You're not defending children — you're handing them over to ideology dressed as medicine.
