So, cut half of all ongoing programs on heart disease, cancer research, infectious disease, arthritis, mental health, eye disease, arthritis, dementia, biomedical imaging, dental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, lung disease (shout out to coal miners and RFK Jr’s hoarse throat) and parasitic worms like those that died in RFK Jr’s head, and replace it with what?

Magic crystals with an aura?

Preventative medicine includes making sure that pregnant mothers and very young children have adequate healthcare and proper nutrition.

Who is he going to fire? The people who put IVs into patients undergoing treatment? Cafeteria workers?
