Our elected representatives here in Louisiana never disappoint in their ability to defy reason or decency. Clay Higgins’ recent call to defund the New Orleans Health Department is a new low in idiocy. Why would we listen to pediatricians who have had a bachelor’s degree, followed by four years of medical school and then a three-year pediatric residency? After which, they must become licensed by passing the appropriate exams.
Instead, we should follow the latest social media posts by our Health and Human Services secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a lawyer and vaccine skeptic who has a worm in his brain? A man who was confirmed in his post due to the idiocy of Sen. Bill Cassidy, who is now having buyer’s remorse.
Rep. Clay Higgins, along with other flat-earth science deniers and “their band of sorcerers,” should stay out of the way of the dedicated health professionals doing their jobs to keep us healthy.
