Another example of limited resources being used to drive political agendas. Instead of the agency resources being used to drive medical advances it’s used to provide a basis for debunked theories.

‘Sir, the results are back from your requested study. It confirms that vaccines are incredibly safe and effective’
-Damn! The deep state really got us good again! Hiding all the real evidence where our science men can’t find it! Repeat the study! I don’t care how many times we need to run it to get to the TRUTH!!!

At this point we can measure how far behind reality the NYTs & Co are in *decades*. Next up from the mainstream: *The Vietnam War? What was that about?*

One thing that worries me is that institutional trust can erode slowly for years and then suddenly fail all at once.
Public health systems depend heavily on trust: trust in doctors, hospitals, research institutions, schools, and basic shared facts. Once that trust starts fragmenting, the damage spreads far beyond vaccines themselves.
Part of why I started writing *A Cold Civil War* was to explore how institutional strain and political polarization reinforce each other over time.
I wrote a chapter recently called “Measles in Clay County” that tries to explore that broader feeling of fragmentation, fear, and the slow breakdown of public confidence in institutions.
