The CDC flip-flop masking during COVID probably killed thousands of people all by itself. RFK has actively undermined the credibility of federal health resources to a point where rational intelligent people are rightly ignoring them. It will absolutely kill millions over the years it takes to recover (assuming that we even start recovering).

Covid was a novel virus they were mostly doing their best wrt public policy. It’s not at all comparable to what’s going on now, reversing decades of proven science progress.
