More White House Quackery

People seeking reliable medical advice on any malady or situation should avoid members of the Trump administration like the plague, because when it comes to showcasing quacks, Trump and his team own the pond.  The Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for example, has no training in science or medicine, but was an honor student at Facebook U where he developed an unhealthy skepticism regarding miraculous advancements in the field of medicine, like vaccines, and has tirelessly promoted the false narrative that vaccines cause autism.  

At the height of the pandemic, Kennedy was arguing that the new COVID-19 vaccine was deadly and should not be given to pregnant women, even though safety studies said otherwise.  He suggested that COVID-19 might have been targeted toward certain ethnic groups, and said that HIV does not cause AIDS.  Kennedy promoted the use of Vitamin A over vaccines to protect against measles, fought for the elimination of fluoride in water supplies, and promoted unproven and bizarre treatments to cure COVID including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.  And to cap off his seismic display of medical ignorance, our nation's Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who admits to having eaten roadkill and snorting cocaine off of toilet seats, has also suggested that WiFi and other radio frequencies can cause cancer.

Kennedy's Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, a former television personality who promoted "miracle" weight loss supplements and alternative medical theories that lacked scientific evidence, was, like RFK, Jr, appointed to his current government post by Donald Trump, a man who enjoys watching television kooks and stirring controversies.

Donald Trump, the President, loves social commotion so much that he has also promoted some medical whoppers himself based solely on things he has heard of seen promoted on the internet.  In April of 2020 while the pandemic was rapidly spreading around the globe, Trump. noted that bleach and disinfectant kills the COVID virus on stationary surfaces, and then wondered aloud about the possibility of injecting it into human bodies as a way to defeat COVID.  The blowback was swift and intense, and the next day Trump did a course correction saying that his remarks about injecting bleach and disinfectant had been "sarcasm."  Trump also promoted the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in the fight against COVID-19.

Now, in a news report just released yesterday, it was revealed that (Doctor) Trump is back at it with his medical wizardry.  He has apparently told Dr. Oz of his belief that drinking Diet Coke, Trump's favorite beverage, might help kill cancer cells.

Quack, quack, and more quack!

If you need competent medical advice, talk to your doctor or a qualified medical professional. - and stay the hell away from anyone even remotely connected to the Trump administration!

Those are my quackin' thoughts on the matter!
