    FDA will cave. In a war between the current administration and Big Pharma, the latter has too much money.

    I do hope I’m wrong though, and they kneecap Big Pharma, which leads to way cheaper meds in general.

      Kneecapping Big Pharma would be fine if the government were planning to invest in public science and mRNA vaccine research. But if they cut off the market for privately developed vaccines, and thus the motive for pharma companies to develop them, and in place only put RFK’s blood letting and leeches (at premium prices), that’s not such a good thing.

        Meanwhile insulin is more expensive than it ever has been in the history of it’s existence. While Dumbass Trump and Dipshit Kennedy along with their Republican backup singers are doing exactly dick about it.

          I honestly think they subscribe to a fascist belief that people who get sick are weak and should die to purify the gene pool. Unless it’s them, in which case they should receive the best care money can buy. And the fact that they can afford it shows that they are strong and successful and have the bestest genes of all.

      This is not the thing that should be used to cow big pharma. This is a public health matter, and the FDA is being willfully criminally negligent. This will kill people.

          Beneath everything they do is a fascist ideology that maintains some people are naturally strong and superior and deserve to live, while others (most people) are weak and inferior and deserve to die. Fascists think it is wrong to help the weak and inferior to live because it slows progress towards a world populated only by the superior master race. And they all imagine themselves to be superior humans, despite all the evidence that they are pathetic morons.
