Trump Promotes Another Death Peddler For The CDC While Congress Naps

I am writing to express my absolute disdain for the Trump administration’s continued pattern of appointing unqualified influencers to positions of immense power. The recent appointment of Dr. Sara Brenner as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s senior counselor for public health—a role bypasses Senate confirmation—is a dangerous insult to the medical community and the American people. By elevating a self-described "MAHA mom" who mirrors RFK Jr.’s skepticism toward life-saving vaccines, this administration is choosing ideological purity over public safety. It is clear that these moves are not about the health of the nation, but about enriching and empowering a band of loyalists and criminals who view federal agencies as personal playgrounds. We are witnessing the systematic dismantling of our public health infrastructure in favor of a fringe agenda that promotes disinformation. When fitness rhetoric is used as a smokescreen for anti-science sentiment, the result isn’t a healthier America; it is a more vulnerable one. The federal government has a duty to protect its citizens using rigorous, evidence-based standards, not to hand over the keys of the FDA to individuals who distrust the very tools that eradicated polio and smallpox. I urge you to use every legislative lever available to oversee these appointments and hold this administration accountable. We cannot allow the wealth and whims of a few influencers to jeopardize the lives of millions. Our health is not for sale, and it should certainly not be left in the hands of those who disregard science
