Analysis Summary
Anchoring
Presenting an extreme number or claim first so everything after seems reasonable by comparison. The first piece of information becomes your reference point — even when it's arbitrary or deliberately inflated. Works even when you know the anchor is irrelevant.
Tversky & Kahneman's anchoring heuristic (1974)

what I'll I'll say about the nominees that the president has put forward is that they are persons who will shake up the status quo former Fox contributor jet do Janette nwat as Surgeon General former Congressman director David Weldon as CDC director former Fox contributor Dr Marty McCary as FDA director we've seen something that goes far beyond using your best judgment with the information at hand we've seen something which is unforgivable and that is the weaponization of medical research itself and the public heal officials were intellectually dishonest they lied to the American people and surgeon Marty McCary is set to lead the FDA while Dr Janette nwat is said to become the US Surgeon General congrats to all does politics have any place in the medical field no I mean we see what happened with the covid pandemic this past two years how the mandates and the masking have all become politicized it turned into a disaster is there any reason to have mandates uh absolutely not Carly I think it's illogical to mandate something that's ineffective I can tell you firsthand having taken care of thousands of Co patients these little flimsy surgical masks they're ineffective I've worked the front lines I have literally taken care of thousands of covid patients the past 2 and a half years many of which were children none of them that I had to hospitalize but yet today we see the CDC vote to put covid-19 on the childhood vaccination scheduled new nomination from the president-elect he wants Dr M oz to be the CMS administrator he is saying in a statement the president-elect that Dr Oz will work closely with Robert F Kennedy Jr to take on the illness industrial complex and all of the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake at HHS he's assigned Robert F Kennedy Jr who has singlehandedly brought attention to the many public health crisises facing Americans starting with food uh he's interested I think truly interested As Trump said in the well-being of Americans so as he works through these issues of data transparency and accountability uh I can I think we're going to see sweeping changes in healthcare administration and so it is the role of the Federal Government to put the best information out there and let people decide he is going to do just that and he's going to clean house I couldn't be more ex we have a thousand ingredients in our foods that are illegal in Italy and other countries in Europe and the reason for that is corruption but these issues are so important and their way of unifying our country we need in this country to reach a point where we love our children more than we hate each other
