‘Distracting the public’: group of health professionals call for RFK Jr to be removed | Trump administration

A Insolation, the Organization of Health Professionals has issued a report that summarizes great health difficulties in the USA and requested the abolition of Robert F Kennedy JR from the USA of Health and Human Services (HHS).

. report Defend, a new organization of approximately 3,000 healthcare experts and ally, is an attempt to prevent misinformation and lack of information from medical staff.

In order to continue to make progress in public health, the report of Public Health was planned to coincide with the report of the second report expected to “make America healthy again” (MAHA). First MAHA Report released A second report was expected in May and this week – but in the midst of the turmoil in health institutions reported It was a few weeks late.

“The MAHA report is actually a distraction of the real causes of bad health,” said Professor Emerita, Professor Emerita and Founding Member of Defend Public Health.

“This management does not want to address things such as access to poverty and education and health services. Instead, they disturb the people with information about solutions to problems that do not actually exist.

The public health report focuses on issues such as foods and environmental chemicals from the previous MAHA, but covers a familiar ground for public health.

The Group emphasizes the importance of access to food safety, safety and food, including advanced opportunities for additional nutritional assistance program (SNAP) and physical activity.

They try to provide fair access to vaccines; Expanding access to health services, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health service access; And create strategies for fresh air.

The report also proposes that the scientific research and public health systems be fully financed; The fight against scientific misinformation, including the US government; and strengthening of pandemic preparation. Now they call for a decrease in weapon intensity, the number one cause of death for children.

And their latest recommendations are to describe the dismissal and abolition of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F Kennedy JR as the most important step towards improving Americans’ health.

Georges Benjamin, General Manager of the American Public Health Association (APHA), said the suggestions are exactly what the US should deal with to be healthier. “If you look at things that really kill people, this is really the right list because of the 10 leading cause of death”.

Benjamin said he had spent twice as much more than the next industrialized country, although the US had health consequences.

Stating that the US spends less than other countries for social determinants of health and social supports and makes less investment in primary maintenance and preventing, Benjamin said, “Breaking our health system weakens the accessibility of health services.”

Such gaps deteriorate under the second Trump administration with large sections in Medicaid, affordable housing and nutrition programs such as Snap.

“If they are serious about making America healthy again, I suggest we recommend that we start by feeding children,” Jacobs said. “For example, when I talk about RFK JR Food Pedes, I don’t think that this is more important than that 13 million children in the United States do not know where their next meals came from.”

Jacobs, scientific misinformation is a “existential threat to the Americans” and the US government is currently the “main source of false information and disinformation.

The first MAHA report, “it contains false information and uses non -existent references,” he said. The defense public health report has a language on the cheek that “based on real meticulous data by real human experts”.

In order to address the spread of harmful information, Jacobs proposed to work with social media companies, one of the biggest amplifiers of false information ”. The authority said it is important to train children how to evaluate the quality and accuracy of information.

But The biggest suppliers Health wrong knowledge is Kennedy itself.

Jacobs said, “Everything he does is terrifying,” he said. “There is a word in public health, ‘saving a million lives at a time’ and it does the opposite.”

He called him a “real threat ıyla, a“ destructive ”public health.

“He has no knowledge, training or experience in any science. He never made an experiment, he never wrote an article, he did not receive a grant to examine anything. He does not understand the reasons underlying weak health in the United States,” he said.

Defense Public Health, launched in November after Trump’s re -election, because, as Jacobs said, “It was very clear for us that public health would be particularly under attack.”

Jacobs, “We knew it would be a difficult struggle. I do not think that none of us know how bad it will be, how fast it will be. But other researchers, public health employees, we do everything we can to support we can do and continue to receive the right information to the public,” he said.

The Group participates in other newly established health organizations as well as other newcomers to serve as reliable sources of information.

Benjamin said that these have a long history that provides external perspectives in official proposals. However, the Federal Government has been uniquely positioned to speak with the health of all Americans.

“Pediatricians are definitely confident around vaccines for children, but at what point a child becomes an adolescent, becoming an adult? What point do they enter the adult health system?” he said.

This creates confusion that a patient should follow. The same may apply to a patient who can get into the opinion of a patient who is pregnant or more than one health institution. It is not always easy to know which group belongs to which group.

Benjamin said, “We should pay attention to the fact that each of these private sector organizations align our suggestions, so that we do not confuse the people anymore.

Nevertheless, Benjamin said, “As the Federal Government withdraws under the responsibility of protecting the people, groups like ours will be more effective in filling this gap until the federal government takes a step back as a reliable advisor.”

Benjamin and Jacobs – and other experts in these groups – hopes that the federal government will once again be a reliable source of information.

“We really wanted to start creating a framework, so we’re ready to start to put forward some policy suggestions,” Jacobs said.

“Currently, there is only widespread chaos around public health and science related to this administration, and we should stand firmly and continue to bring the conversation back to the real causes of bad health. I cannot control what the government decides to do.”
