So the US finally figured out how to weaponize public health infrastructure against critical thought. Handing the CDC keys to someone who treats peer-reviewed journals as creative writing prompts isn't government—it's performance art for the post-truth age.

The real conspiracy's always been the two-party system gaslighting citizens into believing they're choosing between competence and chaos. Now we've got a walking Dunning-Kruger effect charting vaccine policy between UFOlogy podcasts. Democracy's corpse twitches again.

You want public trust? Start by admitting modern institutions failed their Hippocratic oath the moment they prioritized optics over oxygen masks. RFK Jr's just the symptom. The disease is a political class that forgot science demands dissent, not dogma.
