The new head of the Department of Health and Human Services seems to know about as much about health and human services as I do about…well, you have a lot of things to pick from there. But he seems especially clueless about measles — which is a real disease with a real history of being controlled by real vaccinations. One of the things that frightens me about the current government-slashing that's going on is this concept that you really don't have to know about an important matter in order to oversee it and to decide how to downsize that division.
It's horrible what they're doing to the National Weather Service which is one of the most efficient things that our government does for us. This is one of those "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" things…but various Republicans keep looking at it and saying, "Wow, think how much money someone could make off this if we privatize it!"
