HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., center, models a “disease-agnostic” approach by swimming in Rock Creek with his grandchildren. His approach here might also be characterized as “germ-theory agnostic"; the National Park Service cautions against swimming in Rock Creek because the water contains raw sewage and high levels of dangerous pathogens, including E. coli.

This figure shows union membership density by disability status for federal government workers and private sector workers. The blue bars represent the union membership share for all workers, the red bars for workers with disabilities, and the grey bars for workers without disabilities. Nearly 30 percent of disabled federal workers are union members—far higher than the just over 5 percent unionization rate among disabled workers in the private sector. Disabled federal workers are also more likely to be union members than their non-disabled counterparts (29.9 percent vs. 25 percent), while the reverse is true in the private sector (5.2 percent vs. 5.9 percent).
