... The medical journal The Lancet did not pull any punches in a scathing editorial on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling the anti-vaccine activist's first year as US Health Secretary "a failure by most measures, especially his own." The Lancet is one of the world's oldest academic medical journals still in publication and one of the most cited sources of peer-reviewed medical research. But it is also well-known for publishing an infamous study by prominent anti-vaccine activist and disgraced ex-physician Andrew Wakefield, which falsely claimed to find a link between vaccines and autism. The Lancet retracted the study more than a decade later. Kennedy is among the prominent anti-vaccine activists who continue to embrace the thoroughly debunked claim, along with other dangerous conspiracy theories. The Lancet assailed Kennedy for spreading misinformation as the country's top health official and politicizing health policy at the expense of vulnerable Americans, including children. "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in one year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm," the journal's editorial board wrote in its latest issue. ...

A lot of Republicans are going to die.
But the downside is, we have to deal with their stupidity and posts quoting made up facts in the meantime.

My concern is...
How long will it take to undo the damage pummeled upon the Country and it's Citizens once Sec Kennedy is shown the exit door?

Will it, as the article summary notes, take generations to undo the damage?

See how fast the measels has surged back because people are listening to crackpots on Youtube pushing lies instead of their doctors.
The US had eradicated the measels through decades of diligent vaccinations.
We live in the dumbest time period of American history. A time where we have the tools and knowledge to control these viruses and instead we let social media influencers determine the course for the entire nation.
A failed gameshow host asset of Russia hires a heroin addict who brags about snorting cocaine off of toilet seats to run the Dept of Health and Human Services. This nation has become a sad joke.
The damage is permanent with every child that dies or is permanently damaged due to the policies of them.
