Congress could have just said no to putting the anti-vax nut in charge of health. How hard was that? During the interview he said everything he could to demonstrate how unfit he was for the job and they still hired him.

The vote was straight down party lines.

With the current regime, what seems to a resonable person to show how unfit he was for the job, was to the stakeholder exactly what they wanted.
Is it too much to hope congress get the measles
The people in power are all vaccinated. Even when they say they aren’t. The goal of the MAGA is to create so much confusion and distraction that you don’t actually know what they’re doing.
They all have ridiculously good healthcare, so, as is tradition, they won't be affected by their own choices.
Speaking as someone in central texas, living not that far from the outbreak... It's bad, but not that big a deal.
Most everyone outside super-religious communes has the vaccine, whether they like it or not. Basically everyone who's died or been infected so far was unvaccinated. See figure 4:

The message is for the next pandemic we aren't vaccinated for. The meme that vaccines are a 'choice' with tradeoffs one should carefully consider (instead of something you'd be an idiot not to get) are going to obliterate us next time. That message is coming from the top, not from where this funding was cut.
Looks like donvict wants to beat his earlier record for killing more Americans than any other....
The Most Felonious Donvict!!!
I want to say they deserve this, but it's children who will suffer the most because their parents fucked around during biology classes and didn't learn shit.
Stupidity is exploding at an even faster rate.
