For the first time in its more than 60-year history, the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)opens in a new tab or window did not go out as scheduled because of a communications pause at federal health agencies issued by the Trump administration. Past editors of MMWR and prior leaders of CDC lamented the lack of publication, and its potential impact on the distribution of vital public health information. "This is a concerning precedent that public health messages won't be left to public health professionals and experts, and instead will be potentially controlled by politicians," Sonja Rasmussen, MD, a former editor of MMWR who worked at the CDC for 20 years, told MedPage Today.

[Intro]
"Get three coffins ready..."
"Huh?"
[Verse 1]
Covered wagon, medicine show
Take you to a place where the healing flows, oh-ho
Weak in spirit, we got the juice
Won't save your soul; it'll shine your shoes, oh
Treated king to kangaroo
Santa Fe to Timbuktu, oh-ho
Don't be fooled by imitation
This is the stuff that cured a nation
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We took the Tube and the high plains too
Never stopped long, just passing through
A drop of the laughter of the maids of France
Makes a hopeless cripple dance, oh
[Chorus 1]
It was really vile weather
When we got tarred and feathered
You could hear the six-guns sound
As they chased us out of town
...
Why does this tune remind me of RFK, Jr as the head of the Country's health?
I wish I knew.
