Lol, that was quick. Effectively, “Thanks for your supporters but we’ll be fine without you”.

    He doesn’t need RFK to run the FDA, because Trump is going to just scuttle it entirely.

    Science bad! Doctors bad! Let the drug companies do what they want! Freedumb y’all!

    Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain’t.

    This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.

      It’s definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).

      Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.

      It’s not much, but it’s a small win for us.

        Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling…so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about “too much government” in their lives because they were getting money…

    Wait a second, you mean Trump just used the guy and is now dropping him like a half-eaten Big Mac? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say.

    As a nearly 80 year old man who is likely eating a fistful of pills every morning, he might want to ensure that the FDA is still regulating that stuff.

      You don’t really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.

      US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.

      The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the “normal” people without great wealth or connections.

        And how does one find out that these US drugs are unsafe?

        Oh that’s right, people fucking die. That includes wealthy people btw. If the opioid crisis has taught us anything…

      Eh, the qons would be all over it in order to yell “fuck your feelings” at any liberals they think his policies were hurting. I mean, he was talking about ivermectin again (JFC these people are all so very stupid), and bullshit about that is something that they will seemingly never stop going on about. They were willing to take ivermectin and die from Covid, just to own the libs, because: “fuck your feelings, libs!”

      So yeah, if enough of these brainstems thought that RFK jr was going to be hurting the “right” people, they would be in like Flynn on the craziness, even if their kids’ teeth were falling out as a consequence.

        Then they came for the boot licking senators, and I did nothing because I’m not a boy licking senator.

        Then they came for people I cared about and by that time I was prepared because I know they are coming for me

      Trump? He actually believes they work. He made sure he got vaccinated. He just knows he can pander with it.

          It was testing machines newly developed by Abbott Labs, not single use tests. You know they immediately reverse engineered that too

          I don’t know if it was vaccines, but he sent tests to him when we didn’t have enough for our own citizens. You know, America First sort of things.
