These are uncharted times, friend.
The nation’s loudest anti-vaxxer will be in charge of our health.
With the party-line vote out of committee, the least-qualified person to lead the most-advanced health science organization is on his way to becoming the head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Our truths have been compromised. And these hearings have roundly confirmed that we can’t trust any messaging that comes out of HHS over these next years.
God forbid, if another pandemic hits in the near future, can we trust that we’ll actually be informed? Is there anything this man has said that makes us believe we can trust him with our lives?
Now more than ever, we need folks who will give you the straight talk.
That means that we, the scientific community, have to take up the mantle for truth. And it makes it so much more important that we have scientific communicators in elected office so that we can speak truth to power and call it out, even when the barrage of lies feels exhausting.
I’m doing everything I can to defend our Frontline seat and take back the House so we can have a pro-science Congress that actually helps the people who need it. And I could use your help:
Can you make an $3 donation today to help us protect science and fact in Congress? Every dollar will go towards electing a Democratic majority that actually cares about our health and knows what it’s talking about.
