RFK, Jr. & the GOP aren't just eviscerating critical medical research and replacing science with pseudoscience. They're creating "a new age of public-health libertarianism" - a "war on all the things that make health a 'public' good, sustained by mutual aid," instead "seeing individuals as perfectly autonomous and inviolable units and defining everything outside individual control as either an irrelevant consideration or a violation of 'bodily autonomy'": https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/opinion/public-health-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8E4.waA9.DbyTkbS3GcGB&smid=url-share
