Big news over at the Department of Health and Human Services this week.
One headline called it a “mass culling” of longtime scientists and bureaucrats, (including, it appears, Dr. Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady—aka the bioethicist who neglected to investigate the ethics of her husband conducting gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Oops.)
Of course the political class, and those still wearing masks (?!?!) are upset about this.
I am not.
Let’s not forget: these are the agencies— and even the very “scientists”— that pushed lockdowns, lied about masks, imposed vaccine mandates, censored dissent, ruined the careers of doctors who spoke out, and presided over a catastrophic collapse in public trust. Businesses were bankrupted, and families were torn apart—all under the guidance of “the experts.”
And now those same experts are finally being shown the door.
Good.
They weren’t held accountable in court. They weren’t made to apologize. They didn’t lose their pensions. But at the very least, now they no longer get to make decisions that affect your life and mine.
Of course the mad scientists aren’t the only ones who are being fired.
There are thousands of regular people who were just working in a field they were passionate about who didn’t have any control over who was calling the shots, or ways their research was used.
It’s always tough when people get fired. It happens every day in the private sector when companies downsize, or when they bring in new leadership to help identify ways to make things run more efficiently.
I hope the good people who were let go will quickly be swooped up by private companies who value their experience and skill.
This shake-up certainly didn’t come out of nowhere.
It’s part of a major restructuring of the HHS that Secretary Kennedy has promised since before he suspended his presidential campaign.
The goal is to consolidate bloated divisions, eliminate redundancy, and return these once-respected institutions to overseeing and promoting actual health—not public health theater.
The first appointments in this brave new organization are showing a lot of promise.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the most outspoken critics of lockdowns and one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, is now leading the NIH. Dr. Marty Makary, who spent the last few years warning about bad data and even worse policy, is now at the helm of the FDA. And CMS—home of Medicare and Medicaid—is being led by Dr. Mehmet Oz. (I’ll be the first to admit that this is kind of a weird one).
Still, I tend to think that any outsider will likely bring a much needed perspective shift to a system drowning in groupthink.
We shall see.
While critics say “purge” as if it’s a bad thing, I see exactly the kind of massive overhaul that the broken and highly corrupt medical tyranny arm of the federal government needs.
It’s hard to overstate how badly the public health apparatus has failed trusting Americans.
That’s why what’s happening right now matters.
It’s a reckoning, no matter how little and late, for those who were victimized and brutalized by weaponized “science” and “public health”.
It’s the first step, I hope, in restoring sanity, rebuilding trust in actual scientific research, and making sure that next time—if there is a next time—there aren’t people and systems in place with the power to bring the world to its knees by silencing anyone who dares to ask how they know that a virus can travel six feet, but not seven.
The importance of questioning and noticing is why we’ve spent so much time and effort helping families teach their kids how to think for themselves.
The Tuttle Twins books aren’t just stories—they’re tools. They help children understand why we must always question authority, challenge narratives, and understand how systems of power really work.
Books like The Tuttle Twins and the Leviathan Crisis show kids how government expands its control during times of fear and emergency. The Tuttle Twins and The Fate of the Future helps them understand how it can look when power is decentralized—and why that’s a future worth fighting for.
Everything we write is aimed at helping families become more free.
Because if we want a future where our kids are equipped to navigate crises without surrendering their liberties, we have to teach them early.
The media certainly won’t. Even now, mainstream outlets are in meltdown mode, painting these firings and restructurings as cruel, unjust, and dangerous.
Of course they never had a problem with the cruel policies put in place by the NIH during Covid—only with people who resist them.
Interesting.
Anyway, if you want your kids to see through this kind of hypocrisy, we’ve spent the last decade creating resources to help you get started.
From books, to videos and curriculum, to our new Tuttle Twins Academy, we’ve got the tools parents like you are using to shape the next generation into one that will finally have the chance to experience a free, peaceful, and prosperous future.Check them out here!
