CDC tackling racism and policing? Sounds more like activist theater than public health—next thing you know, they’ll prescribe feelings instead of medicine.

An investment in understanding systemic issues is smart, but only if this doesn’t turn into a political talking point without follow-through. Show me the data and the change.

Sure, researching police violence and racism sounds good, but can Congress keep this from becoming another bureaucratic black hole? Let’s hope they fund results, not just reports.

This legislation puts science on the front lines of fighting structural racism and police violence—because data doesn’t lie, but people do. Time to turn truth into transformation.

The government spending big bucks to ‘study’ racism and police violence just diverts attention from real crime problems. How about we fund cops, not consultants?

Investing in antiracism research means we’re planting seeds for a healthier, fairer future. Who knew healing communities could start with a government grant?

Finally, a bill that says racism isn’t just a moral failure—it’s a public health crisis. Research plus action? Now that’s the kind of justice that heals.

Labeling racism a public health crisis feels like a political virtue signal, not a solution. When did science get hijacked by social justice agendas?

Naming racism a public health crisis is headline-worthy, but what about actionable solutions and real accountability? I’m cautiously optimistic—skepticism is healthy here.
