Here are two questions:

How the hell during a pandemic did President Joe Biden name a 
health secretary with no competence in public health?

And is anyone surprised that HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra is 
making the monkeypox outbreak worse?

Part of Becerra’s incompetence is his inability to clear away 
red tape or prioritize anything at a time when we were supposed 
to have learned something about infectious diseases. Another 
part is his lame political correctness in talking about a 
disease that is overwhelmingly spread by men having sex with men.

But Barro’s critique of Becerra gets at the heart of the 
problem. Becerra (beyond having no competence, experience, or 
training in public health) can’t fight this fight because he was 
brought here precisely to be a left-wing culture warrior.

Becerra met Biden’s standards for health secretary because 
Becerra is an abortion extremist and a culture warrior who 
relishes in persecuting religious conservatives.

Becerra’s qualification for HHS secretary was pressing a felony 
prosecution against pro-life activist David Daleiden because 
Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood’s trade in the organs of 
aborted babies. Even the Los Angeles Times called Becerra’s 
crusade “a disturbing overreach.”

Becerra had a 100% lifetime rating from NARAL and Planned 
Parenthood, which means he defended partial-birth abortion and 
adult men taking underage girls across state lines in order to 
skirt state parental notification laws.

Becerra tried to force pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to 
advertise abortion.

As I wrote upon his nomination: “In 2007, for instance, Becerra 
co-sponsored a bill requiring all employers who cover 
prescription drugs to cover contraception also. This mandate 
would have allowed zero exemptions for conscience. It would 
force Catholic parishes to pay for birth control for parish 
staff, although Catholic teaching rejects artificial birth 
control as an unnatural and unethical means to divorce sexuality 
from life-giving family formation."

Becerra has voted to ensure that states can discriminate against 
hospitals and doctors for not providing or recommending 
abortions. Becerra believes taxpayers should have to fund 
abortions — he has voted against the No Taxpayer Funding for 
Abortion Act.

Xavier Becerra was obviously unqualified to run HHS during the 
COVID pandemic, and his incompetence is worsening the monkeypox 
outbreak.

Some commentators are baffled by Biden's pick, but pro-life 
conservatives who remember the Obama administration are not. It 
was HHS that created the contraception mandate, which tried to 
force nuns to cover birth control. Obama's health secretary, 
Kathleen Sebelius, was probably the U.S. governor who was 
closest to the abortion industry. HHS became the abortion-and-
contraception agency under Obama-Biden. So, public health wasn't 
the focus in picking Becerra.
