The Accelerating Decline of U.S. Public Health Policy

Legal Planet: Environmental Law and Policy 2026-02-12

Summary:

It’s hard to believe how quickly a science-driven approach to protecting health has been replaced by ideology and quackery.  Lack of expertise is now seen as a plus in making decisions, and the Administration is actively seeking to suppress information about problems that it would rather not address.  I posted a month ago about the current evidence-free approach to health policy,  Things have only gotten since then.  It's been one bad thing after another. All of this in only a month. There are 34 months left in Trump’s presidency, so you can only imagine how dangerous the situation will be by the time he leaves office.
