AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Oh that's just what the Department of Health and Human Services needed: another crank winger quack with a literal body count working to "protect" the health of Americans.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/05/covid-hydroxychloroquine-steve-hatfill" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ay/05/covid-hydroxychloroquine-steve-hatfill</span></a></p><p>US scientist who touted hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid named to pandemic prevention role</p><p>"A proponent of using the drug hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 despite scant evidence of its efficacy has been named to a top pandemic prevention role at the Department of Health and Human Services, the Washington Post reports.</p><p>Steven J Hatfill is a virologist who served in Donald Trump’s first administration, during which he promoted hydroxychloroquine to treat the virus in the early months of the pandemic, when vaccines and treatments were not yet available. He recently started as a special adviser in the office of the director of the administration for strategic preparedness and response, which prepares the country to respond to pandemics, as well as chemical and biological attacks.</p><p>The Trump administration embraced using the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, along with other drugs such as ivermectin and chloroquine, as treatments against Covid-19, despite concerns over both their efficacy and potentially serious side-effects. In June 2020, just months after the pandemic started, the Food and Drug Administration warned against using hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat Covid-19 over “reports of serious heart rhythm problems and other safety issues”, even after Trump approved ordering millions of doses of the drug for US patients from Brazil."</p><p>For those of you who don't remember the pandemic response during Trump's first term, the hydroxychoroquine scandal hit national headlines when after the Kelpto Kaiser promoted a version of the drug as a preventative medicine that could stop the spread of Covid, an Arizona couple in their 60's drank some fish tank cleaner that had similar chemicals in it and one of them literally died. Trump skated by because he was president and he didn't actually tell anyone to drink fish tank cleaner, but his promotion of the drug was criticized by the FDA at the time and there's no question that Trump's factually unsupported recommendation got someone killed. Now the quack scientist who told Trump hydroxychoroquine could safely treat Covid, is back in a special advisor's role to the government's response team for pandemics, as well as chemical and biological attacks. </p><p>It's objectively hard to tell if Hatfill's appointment is more about Trump's attempts to force his critics to say he was always right about everything even when his nonsense got someone killed, RFK Jr's quest to transform HHS into a haven for grifter Covid quacks who support alternatives to vaccines, or a general class war effort by the regime to neglect anything that helps poor people survive disasters; frankly, it might be all three. Regardless of the motivations here however, the objective truth is that appointing a guy like Hatfill to the pandemic response team represents a clear and obvious danger to the health of Americans.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HHS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RFKJr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFKJr</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eugencis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eugencis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StevenHatfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StevenHatfill</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/hydroxychloroquine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hydroxychloroquine</span></a></p>

Daniel Lakeland<p>So in the context of a post on Gelman's blog, it came up the assertion that institutions were essential to the production of the COVID vaccine and saving lives and making everything so rapidly and how wonderful they all were. So I'd like to offer this alternative counterfactual in an anarchic world. It's already known that the COVID vaccine was designed in January of 2020 before the disease had started to spread widely. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
