A rare example of the opposite Betteridge's law of headlines: Yes! And mostly it's because of the actions of one person, RFK, jr. This is 'crimes against humanity' level of stupidity. This administration is doing everything it can to undermine science, and create more mortality and more morbidity. And the biggest issue I have with this is all of these people will be long gone before we see the worst of what they are enacting. smh.
