RFK Jr Should Not Be Taken As a Serious Anything

Measles and Co. are going to make a comeback in a very big way. Sorry, kids!

That list of things that is no longer going to be suppressed just goes on. You think he’s winding up, but then no, on it goes.

So tired of the FDA suppressing sunshine and peptides.

New Cabinet position for perineum sunning on the way.

Now that ivermectin is back in the news, I am going to take the opportunity to post my favorite (and most prescient) post of mine of the Biden era.

We will see what big pharma has to say about that, given how much money they give the politicians.

Hot take: The FDA is a scam and RFK does have some good ideas, ivermectin aside

I dunno man, I bothered to actually read the label and it seems alot of the difference is added vitamin and mineral supplements in the US version. Which is probably good for kids?

The FDA is underfunded and RFK is going to exacerbate the problem. You think Europe’s consumer products are better because they don’t have robust government agencies?

I think our obesity crisis is at least partially caused by the way our food is packaged and processed, even relative to Europe. The issue isn’t just the amount of funding, but who is doing the funding. Not sure Pharma companies are the good guys here.

Been watching two uk TikTokers eat all the us food not allowed in Europe. They are loving the forbidden fruit. Maybe us Froot Loops are worth dying for.

I agree, I just disagree that the FDA/USDA and other agencies that are supposed to regulate the pharma/ag companies will do a better job under the leadership of whatever deranged worm-riddled fool Trump picks.

Maybe, maybe not. I think FDA/Pharma has done a lot of bad things, and RFK also has bad ideas no doubt. Hard to argue with people getting fed up with the former though.

If RFK ends up heading the FDA there’s going to be a lot of stories quoting parents about “I really wish I would have gotten my kid (whatever) vaccination”. Same as folks asking for the covid vax on their deathbeds.

Disagree. We’ll get a lot of heartwarming tales about how some kid got sick with the measles, his next door neighbor kid brought him soup everyday, but caught measles and died.

My mother had polio and she was fine. The kind of story they don’t want you to hear!

I’m not going to dig into this, but I would guess the US has stricter requirements about what needs to be included on food labels and that mainly explains the difference.

Lololololololololol
