.@SecRubio was right to maintain America’s public health programs, specifically our counter-malaria initiative.
Robert Redfield identifies a key reason why: the Chinese Communist Party.
“China is playing the long game, and it knows that malaria control is a powerful diplomatic tool. Through its Belt and Road initiative, Beijing has already ramped up its malaria projects, strategically targeting key African nations to deepen political and military ties. It is using medical aid to buy influence, sway elections, and push its communist agenda, all while undermining American interests. Extending our malaria commitments keeps China at bay.”

Dan’s right about this
Thursday was National PTSD Awareness Day, and you’ve got to hear this.
First off, psychedelic treatments show an approximately 80% remission rate for PTSD. That’s huge. Saves lives and money. That's why I passed a law for the Department of Defense to conduct clinical trials on these therapies. The data continues to come in and it’s overwhelmingly positive.
But now we’re hiting a roadblock. An external advisory board, influenced by ICER, a think tank, rejected the therapy proposal. These technocrats think they know better than scientists. Their job is to say NO and support the status quo that makes Big Healthcare plenty of money, let’s be honest.
Worse, groups like Psymposia, which have insulted our veterans, oppose this therapy too. They think psychedelic treatment for vets “perpetuates white supremacism.”
But there's hope. These groups aren’t the FDA. The FDA hasn’t actually made the decision yet. Even if they deny this application, there are many more coming and because of my legislation the DoD has to do clinical trials on these therapies. We must support the science and push past these activist groups.
Let's save lives.
