i don't know how i feel about rfk jr. in charge of HHS.
i think he's an idiot and wrong about most things.
but i also support chaos and destruction.
but i also care about drug research and development.
but i also support beef tallow.

:facepalm2:

rfk jr being selected is gonna permanently alienate smart rich White people from ever supporting tromp or being right-wing. everyone who's a doctor or scientist is facepalming and wow-just-wow'ing. trompism is gonna be a prole movement for mexican conspiracy theorists, not a futuristic progress-and-eugenics thing.

most drug R&D is into cancer treatments, and cancer treatment "alternative medicine" is pure mental illness. there are actual interesting frontiers in oncology that deserve more funding, like radiopharmaceuticals and CAR T-cell therapy.

RFK probably thinks taking ivermectin and sunning your anus is better than taking pembrolizumab.



guess what the second highest-funded disease state for drug research is? diabetes.
you know, the area of research that gave us ozempic.
which, as we know, totally doesn't work.

antibiotics stop working over time as bacteria develops resistance, and it's extremely difficult to invent new antibiotics that get around multi-drug-resistant strains without being toxic to human cells, which is why research into antibiotics *before our antibiotics stop working* is extremely important -- you fucktard.

news flash: DRUG COMPANIES WANT THEIR DRUGS TO WORK BECAUSE DRUGS THAT WORK GET USED MORE AND MAKE MORE MONEY

do they also exaggerate efficacy and lobby for increase use of drugs beyond what the evidence would support? yes, absolutely. statins are a big offender of this, as are many vaccines -- like RSV.

but halting all research funding is absolutely fucking stupid.

And le Drumpf lost the meme war to Kamala who is "brat". Be serious, there has been a significant movement amongst the intellectual elite towards "alternative science" in the post-COVID world. I think that the RFK pick will be alienating to some, but kill the smart rich White section of the right wing? It's only grown since 2020.

i'm mostly going by first-hand experience. everyone i work with thinks the right represents idiocy and medieval peasant conspiracism.
