The U.S. Department of Health and Human services is canceling over $11 billion worth of COVID-era grants. Some of those cuts are impacting the state, but it's unclear how much funding is lost.

Many of Oregon's county health officials are asking for a little extra consideration from lawmakers this year as they decide where to allocate funding. Two counties, Wallowa and Curry, have no public health staff and rely solely on the Oregon Health Authority to meet their needs. With the fifth anniversary of the initial COVID-19 lockdown this week, perhaps nothing is a bigger reminder of the need for a stable funding source for public health infrastructure. Sarah Lochner, the executive director of the Oregon Coalition of Local Health Officials, told OPB that not only is the state not ready for the next pandemic, counties are in dire need of stable funding just to deal with the everyday public health needs of the communities they serve — from vaccinating against whooping cough and measles, to providing needed treatment for alcohol and substance use disorder, to preventing HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis and other communicable diseases.  Jackson county public health worker Tanya Phillips said because grants are often available only when the health of a particular population declines, the system sets up a kind of unreliable boom and bust cycle for funding, which does not support healthy communities long term. Phillips and Lochner join us to share the impact that unpredictable and insufficient funding is having in Jackson County and around the state.

On this episode of the podcast, Yale University School of Public Health Professor Emeritus Dr. Harvey Risch discusses the critical lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. He breaks down the inaccuracies in early information, the suppression of dissenting scientific voices, and the failures of policies like lockdowns and mask mandates. Dr. Risch highlights the effectiveness of early treatments, such as hydroxychloroquine, which showed a 75% reduction in mortality in early studies and explained the rationale behind the Great Barrington Declaration's approach to protecting high-risk individuals while allowing society to function normally.Furthermore, Dr. Risch shares his skepticism about the potential for bird flu to become the next pandemic and underscores the need for objective evidence in restoring public trust in health authorities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent this week on Capitol Hill in hopes of securing the necessary Senate votes to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. As Kennedy's “Make America Healthy Again” platforms gain popularity, senators and health experts raise concerns over Kennedy's stances against vaccines and certain public health policies. As President-elect Donald Trump continues to flesh out his second term vision, immigration reform remains one of the biggest policies on his agenda. Trump won historically Democratic districts along the border and made large strides with Latino voters in the last election. Recently on Meet the Press, Trump expressed an openness to working across the aisle on deportations and family separations. It's a more common sense approach compared to his rhetoric on the campaign trail. It's also much more in line with how voters feel about immigration. In an article for The Atlantic, journalist Rogé Karma attributed the Democrats' loss to their miscalculations about the Latino vote. Will Trump turn the electorate's support for immigration reform into actionable policy?While Democrats continue to analyze their election missteps with immigration, the Left, Right, and Center panel looks at how progressive activism might have contributed to their loss. In his essay “How Gay Marriage Ruined Democratic Activism,” writer Jeremiah Johnson posits that Democrats learned all the wrong lessons from progressives. How true is that? Did moral absolutism cost Democrats the White House?

If President Trump is able to make it through the evident attempts to steal this election, to rig it, to rob it, through all the means we've seen before but worse, including having the dictator of Ukraine fly in on a U.S. military aircraft into a battleground state to campaign for Kamala Harris, including those 740 some intelligence officials and even people like John Kerry (who's nonpartisan mind you) stand up and endorse Kamala Harris, which violates all the so-called norms of society to have our intelligence officials telling us how to vote, which means to me that it's a bigger endorsement of President Trump.Episode Links:CAUGHT: NYC Covid Czar Admits Forcing Vaccines & Having Drug-Fueled Sex PartiesKing County Public Health Wanted people to try “Glory Holes.”Demetre at the White House yesterday speaking from the press podium downplaying Monkeypox as “just an infection”The woman featured during an Oprah Winfrey town hall endorsing Kamala DROPPED a new video to announce who she supports for the next president.This might just be the most spectacular two minutes of Kamala's nonsensical wisdom I have ever heard.Kamala: “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.” She's an anti-gun RADICALKamala Harris pretends to be a gun owner who will shoot intrudersJill Biden is kicking off the first cabinet meeting the White House has had in almost a year and we're expected to act like this is normal.Just in: Leftist rioters in NYC are trying to shut down the subway as revenge for a knife-wielding black man being shot by police.Stationary at the White House now has the Presidential Seal flanked by “President” Jill Biden's signatureAlan's Soaps https://www.alansartisansoaps.comUse coupon code ‘TODD' to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.Bioptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/toddStart your journey to better health with MassZymes.  Visit bioptimizers.com/todd today to get your MassZymes 10% off.  Bonefrog https://bonefrogcoffee.com/toddMake Bonefrog Cold Brew at home!  Use code TODD at checkout to receive 10% off your first purchase and 15% on subscriptions.Bulwark Capital Bulwark Capital Management (bulwarkcapitalmgmt.com)Join Zach Abraham for Bulwark Capital's Free Live Webinar This Thursday at 3:30 Pacific.  Call 866-779-RISK or go to KnowYourRiskRadio.com to register today!Renue Healthcare https://renue.healthcare/toddYour journey to a better life starts at Renue Healthcare.  Visit renue.healthcare/Todd
