Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Health and Human Services Secretary has a strong influence on public health concerns.  It's disappointing then that he has taken a nearly hands-off approach to the measles outbreak among young children.  He has questioned the safety of vaccines.  He has not been closely involved with the fight to control the spread of the disease.  He espouses conspiracy theories.  The nation needs a better spokesperson for health issues but it doesn't look like we'll get one under the current administration.  It's sad to write but the HHS secretary has a bad influence on the public.
