    Dan Diamond, National Health Reporter, Washington Post: “Everything feels grey to me...”

    Dan Diamond, the national health reporter at the Washington Post, reflects on the shock of both United Health executive Brian Thompson’s tragic murder and the subsequent tsunami of anger and glee on social media. We’ve entered “a staggering moment” that does not feel real, but nonetheless reveals the remarkable depth of discontent with the American health system, in particular insurers. “Everything feels grey to me.” This moment is grounded in the collapse of trust, including trust in the media. United Health, America’s fourth largest firm, and the most powerful firm in the health sector, inevitably attracts—and will continue to attract—tough scrutiny and enduring questions over why the U.S. health system is so dysfunctional. This week Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ventures to the Senate, where many Senate members simply do not know what to make of him. He has issued so many different statements on so many topics at different times to different audiences. While RFK Jr.’s vaccine positions will get the greatest play and are likely to remain a red line for Democrats, his pivot to chronic disease prevention and healthy food has rallied many to his side. Perhaps DOGE will be a vehicle for introducing progressive and budget reform ideas into the Republican Party in a new way. Will there be progress in changing the seasonal clock in America, a lighter, perennial topic? Probably not. There “is not a real path forward.”

    Sheryl Gay Stolberg, New York Times: "Humility is a word I hear a lot in public health."

    Sheryl Gay Stolberg, the NYT health correspondent, feels her decades of health and political reporting prepare her well for understanding this remarkable moment in American history. Anger and alienation against the health sector and science are surging, drawing both on historical roots and current dynamics. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. nominated to be HHS Secretary, taps into a profound mistrust that he has indeed stoked, aided by the platform Covid gave him to mobilize “vaccine resisters.” RFK Jr’s nomination has several advantages, including his pivot to prevention, the root causes of chronic diseases, processed foods, and declining life expectancy. He has moved past the extremes (heroin addiction, sexual patterns, conspiracies) to claim redemption and resilience. He appeals to populist dissatisfaction with “regulatory capture” by big pharma and big food.  Opposition can be loud. Mike Bloomberg has declared RFK Jr. “beyond dangerous, “medical malpractice on a mass scale.” Scott Gottlieb, AEI, has issued similarly scathing statements. Opposition can be muted. While there is “terror” among industry, public health, academic centers, opponents are cautious, out of fear of retaliation. Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford, nominated to lead NIH, and others critics of the Biden administration feel they were marginalized during Covid and treated unfairly. “I think it is important that we engage with people on their ideas.”
