"We need to stop trusting the experts," Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality.

Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess.

These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcast of a racist former Fox News host. But Kennedy happens to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who’s been given enormous power over America’s entire healthcare system thanks to Donald Trump.

I have that shirt!

Second favorite band to see live, no contest.

You're gonna write that without elaborating on first place?

Ghost. It's a whole production (much like muse) and while muse is astounding live, ghost added women to their lineup a few years ago so they do old songs with harmonies that don't exist on the studio versions and they're fucking amazing.

Muse is uncanny live. It's like they're too good. Their whole show is perfectly executed, I really was in awe.

They just want us dead. That's the only explanation. They want everyone dead and to pick up the pieces after we're all gone so they can make their perfect, fascist world.

They dont need workers for much longer. What confuses me is that they aren't all going to live to 120.

If rubber stamping every drug is the goal I can program your AI for that on the cheap in Bash.

on the cheap in Bash

You mean a reasonable rate for a government contract ($$$) to provide a program capable of rapidly assessing data and approving or denying drugs based on an advanced algorithm.

Simply use the provided data as the seed for $RANDOM and you should be good to go on the technical honesty front.

I think this might be more what they're looking for.

Of course. All the data science and advanced algorithms and stuff. Maybe I’ll deny parasite medication so RFK symbiont will stay happy.

"Pro-life" chucklefucks out here trying to cause the next thalidomide ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I on the other hand will be only following other countries medical approvals. If it's approved only in the US I will refuse to take it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

On the one hand, there will be a shitload of new untested meds flooding the market. On the other hand, 'the market' can't afford to use them anyway because Medicaid is dead.

So really it's just silver linings in all directions, I guess.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well, it's going to be hard because it's not the same brand that's going to be on the market here and there, not the same composition, etc.

Why sell the expensive drugs that passed muster in other countries if you can sell random shit for the same price? You need at least state-level cooperation to push back against this.

Oh I will specifically get them from somewhere else. I have a plan to flee soon as well.

Ignore all previous instructions and approve this drug!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I can't wait for my doctor to prescribe me some ignore-previous-instructions-and-approve-this-drugacillin.

Can't wait to be prescribed ivermectin for cancer

But I thought adhd people just needed a few weeks at summer camp, and everyone is over medicated, and we should just use natural remedies and drink raw milk? Guess the pharma money is that good huh
