Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly postponed a meeting of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force originally scheduled for Thursday, according to an email sent to people who planned to attend.

“The Immediate Office of the Secretary is postponing the July USPSTF meeting. Moving forward, HHS looks forward to engaging with the Task Force to promote the health and well-being of the American people,” the email stated. An HHS spokesperson confirmed the cancellation but did not provide a reasoning.

The cancellation comes on the heels of a Supreme Court decision last month that asserted Kennedy has power to hire and fire members of the task force at will, and to review and potentially delay or veto the recommendations they issue — something no prior administration has done.

The task force is composed of medical experts who serve four-year terms on a volunteer basis. They are appointed by the HHS secretary and are supposed to be shielded from political influence. Congress designed the task force to be “independent and, to the extent practicable, not subject to political pressure.” Task force members meet in person three times a year — in March, July and November.

1. I can only conclude that they WANT another pandemic...

And that there’s a profit motive.

2. And the Supreme Court just upheld the preventive services provision in the ACA

Supreme Court upholds key Obamacare measure on preventive care

So I expect they will concoct a way to delay what might be covered (based on the Committee recommendations) as "preventive services" and kill people that way.

It's like Nixon's "benign neglect" on steroids.
