Listen Later

What happens when ideology replaces science? When leadership becomes performance? And when health policy turns into a culture war battlefield?


In this episode of The Bearded Signal, host JP Dunphy takes the beard gloves off and dives deep into the Trump Administration’s catastrophic health legacy. From the disbanding of the pandemic response team to the politicization of masks, vaccines, and even clean air—this hour-long exposé cuts through the noise with sharp analysis, dark humor, and a dose of much-needed truth.


Topics include:


  • The myth behind the “Make Our Children Healthy Again” (MAHA) report

  • How over 400,000 lives were lost due to COVID denial and mismanagement

  • The war on science and the censorship of federal agencies

  • Sabotage of the Affordable Care Act and its consequences

  • Health rollbacks that targeted Black, LGBTQ+, and low-income communities

  • How environmental deregulation directly worsened public health outcomes



💬 Whether you’re a healthcare worker, a policy nerd, or just someone who wonders why your insurance bill is higher than your rent—this episode is for you.


🎧 Subscribe, share, and don’t forget: the cost of truth is high—but silence costs lives.
