Trump Administration Orders Communications Blackout At Health Agencies

The Trump Administration has ordered a communications blackout for the nation's health agencies, according to latest reporting from the Washington Post. According to the reporting, a new memo sent to these health agencies will pause all external communications including new health advisories, scientific reports, updates to the website and social media posts, and any other external communications.

The agencies at issue include the Department of Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Center for Disease Control. The Trump Administration is planning on conducting an internal review of the agencies and their communications and messaging, but the scope is broader than expected, and the length of this blackout is indeterminate in length.

This communications pause comes just days after Donald Trump signed an executive order pulling the United States out of the World Health Organization, despite the fact that the United States relied on the WHO during Trump's first administration while it battled the COVID-19 pandemic.

Right now, the United States Senate is considering the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. has publicly questioned the efficacy of many traditional scientific methods, including the use of vaccines. Latest reporting suggested that Kennedy was seeking to pause distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine months after it started.

a number of states should create "shadow agencies" in coordination with each other... i.e. The Coordinated FDA, the Coordinated CDC, etc. These states would have a single entity paid for by the states which would have jurisdiction to apply a set of coordinated STATE laws to enforce inspections and drug trials, approval, etc. Yes, that means we are paying more for this multi-state run health and human services agency.

The reason for the shutdown is that when Corporate America comes to poison us with product or lack of inspection of food production, the Federal agencies won't be able to report on it. Instead the White House will issue their own propaganda ( think Trump with a sharpie for a Hurricane, only this time much slicker ) about bird flu, micro-plastics, chemicals, etc, etc.

But we must do this. Same for weather forecasts and the truth about Climate Change.

I hate that we must do this... but at least there will be no shortage of qualified applicants to run these agencies.
