Andrew: "The first is that Trump’s nomination of an out-and-out crank to run HHS is the strongest proof yet that the president-elect truly learned nothing from his experience quarterbacking federal pandemic response."

Andrew's looking at this rationally, and that's a mistake. What Trump understands is the American people simply don't give a shit about the 700K excess COVID deaths. What they care about exclusively is themselves.

Also, allowing illness and disease to weaken a nation is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, and Trump will pay no price for it.

To the ignorant, uneducated, conspiracy addled, anti-vax folks in the back row, Autism wasn’t as prevalent in the past because we just thought those people were ā€œdifferentā€.

I am 65 and I can look back at my school years now and easily tell you which kids would have been considered on the spectrum if such a thing existed back then.
