Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to overhaul parts of the FDA, specifically targeting the agency’s nutrition department, which he claims “are not doing their jobs” and failing to protect public health.
Kennedy, a known opponent of vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry, said he could “clear out” corruption in health agencies. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he would give Kennedy significant influence over health policy, though Trump’s campaign denied he would lead HHS.
Experts and family members warn that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance could have serious public health repercussions.
What a time to be on an immunosuppressant.
I think it is as good time as any to introduce everyone to the four theives vinegar collective. Their diy drug making system is only as safe as the people using it are careful - but if kennedy running the show, probably be as safe as corporate.

Americans will be required to produce health certificates to travel everywhere else
I hope so. No one should travel without proper protection. It’s like not using a condom with people you don’t know. You may hurt them, or they may hurt you. And by hurt I mean murder them and their families.
People had no idea how good we had it. Guess we all have to learn the hard lessons again.
Those of us who survive it anyway
I’m serious folks, a lot of people died the first term and a lot will die again.
Well survive the vaccine shit, we need to survive the environmental shit. No vaccinees will cut us down in population sure, but if 19/100 die to disease and 40/100 died to environment., Trump wins . That dumb fuck wants it, or he’s dumber than a pile of fucking shit.
Calling it now:
Bird flu will make the jump this summer. It will be just like The Spanish flu and start at a pig farm in Kansas.
My bet is a poultry farm in Iowa.
T for trumpetta. Lmao god I hope not
How presumptuous of you to assume they’ll learn anything.
They’ll just blame illegal immigrants for spreading disease, and the liberal Hollywood elite for letting them come here.
The only thing to learn from history is that people don’t.
They sure didn’t learn anything from the 1940s.
If your referring to he fox trot you are correct. I take the electric slide the best I can
You sound like a domestic violence advocate
Hey, kids! Do you want to know what diphtheria is?
Wanna see all your countrymen die of cured diseases that end in “ids”?
We’re gonna rediscover all kinds of wonderful words. Polio is a good one, too. Hey, with global warming, we ought to be able to brew up some malaria all across Trump country, right?
You know what, let’s just not have doctors. That will cut healthcare costs really fucking quick.
let’s just not have doctors
Why not? Bunch of liberal elites anyway. Probably Jewish or turning kids trans or something too.
Instead, for a small monthly donation, Pastor Jim can write you a prescription for Jesus! If that doesn’t work, you were a sinner anyway and God wanted you dead. Perfect system, praise be, onwards to greatness America! /S
Hey! I live in trump country, and I voted against him all 3 times as well as his down-ballot cronies.
That said, bring on the malaria. It sounds better than living in trump country.
We had one good option, one bad option, and one stupid option.
And somehow ended up with both bad and stupid.
This is honestly a complete disaster Genuinely can’t believe its actually happening tbh. 2016, but ten times worse.
At least back in 2016 I could forgive people for just being plain ignorant and not understanding the consequences of their votes, but this time around I really think people are just hateful racist bastards.
I think the first term was actually traumatic and we’ve spent four years trying to put it behind us, now he’s back and prepared, with the whole government at his command for at least 2 years. The long term damage is going to be atrocious in every sense of the word.
I’m fucking heartbroken
This bodes well for everyone if bird flu makes the jump to humans.
Good news! It already has! (in very isolated cases)
Yeah I’ve been following it and seen that it’s crossed into pigs and onto a pig farmer. CDC’s work is going to become even harder under the new administration.
One of the few saving Graces of this whole thing, is that I know deep down Trump is going to turn on this guy. There’s no way he keeps him around. He served his purpose and now he’s going to dump him.
A lot of Mr brain worms plans would seriously cut into the profits of major pharmaceuticals and agricultural behemoths that are major donors of Trump’s campaign. I can’t imagine them allowing trump to cut into their profits like that.
I’m not sure that vaccines are actually profitable without subsidies. They’d probably rather milk their cash cows like price-gouged insulin and trendy medications like ozempic.
Afaik profit is profit whether it’s from subsidies or sales. On top of that, the government gave them grants to develop said vaccines, so r&d was highly discounted… Production of most vaccines as way cheap compared to r&d, so I doubt there is ever any “selling for a loss”. Combine that with state mandates requiring kids to get vaccines before attending school (I’m not saying this is bad… Public health is a good thing), and you have a captive customer base.

Ironically that is trumptards only saving grace. He’s so nacissistic and disloyal he discards his sycophant followers when they are no longer useful.
I really hope all this will hunt the garbage that voted for the orange f*ck. Even if they have the IQ of a pumpkin, they may get this.
Look I don’t know much about food science but I do know your current fda, while doing many good things over the years, let’s by a lot of shit that is illegal in Europe. Just one example is all the dyes like red 40 and yellow 5 that are banned in Europe due to their health effects. Not saying we need a complete over haul but the current fda needs to take a look at what exactly they are allowing in our foods.
Minor and tangential.
The solution would to improve the FDA not kill it.
they allow food dye so we should end vaccinations for children?
A scientifically sound and reasonable approach to health and food safety is the exact opposite of what we are discussing here.
