In which I remind myself these are the end of days

The future of medical research and public health policy is being decimated because the Republican majority is willing to sacrifice millions of lives to the alter of Emperor Trump's ego. Why else would they have confirmed this lunatic to be head of the HHS?

"COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately," Kennedy said at a recent dinner in New York City. The remarks were videotaped and first published by the New York Post on Saturday. 

 "COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese," he continued, adding, "We don't know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact."
Somehow I missed this article from a couple of years ago. Of course, I never thought the HHS would be transformed into a mini-dictatorship run by someone who has no actual scientific or medical knowledge but just makes up wild conspiracy theories that exist only in his own mind, then unilaterally imposes those beliefs on the rest of the country circumventing all agency process and expertise.
