Dr. Kavita Patel: How Could Trump’s HHS Support the Science Around Gun Violence When They Can’t Even Do It with Vaccines?

EXCERPT:

PATEL: “But that’s part of what we’re talking about. These are not just policies that we have to enact at our local level, but they need to be implemented at the federal level. And Chris, as we’re speaking, we’re talking about secretary of HHS essentially, we’re talking about people who are going to be in leadership position, they don’t even support science when we talk about vaccines. How are we going to depend on them to support the science around gun violence as it’s literally unfolding in front of our eyes and it’s tragic? And the long-term mental health effect, we still don’t know what that’s done to our generation and to the generation to follow, but it’s devastating.”
