Hire either a Viking or a Basque fisherman to help me introduce cow pox to the Americas. With a sufficient disease reservoir, thereās a chance smallpox does not wipe out most of the population 400+ years later. Otherwise, I dunno, die in childbirth like everyone else.

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
