The US FDA has lost almost all the high level people who had the expertise, experience and institutional knowledge that made it effective a respected.
Now, they have podcasters and sports medicine people in charge. It would be almost comical if it didn’t certainly mean unnecessary deaths.
We didn't "lose" them
We chased them out
She has no expertise
That's a prerequisite for this administration
Why do we allow single individuals to levy so much power in our regulatory bodies? Science doesn't change very drastically on a 4 year basis, there's absolutely no reason that a handful of dipshits should be able to rewrite this much public health policy.
Because when a lot of these departments were established it was advancing rapidly or were otherwise required to be able to rapidly move to counter rapidly evolving tech and economic systems. Problem is that stopped being true outside of specific tech fields about 40-50 years ago.
Also the individual is usually just chairing a board of experts and simply coordinating their work... not micromanaging the conclusions
That's how it was when the administration was staffed with people who understood basic science
Modern medicine in America will soon be available only for the very rich. The rest of us will be expected to get by on bible woo and horse dewormer.
And people will wonder why there a rise in [insert any building]-shootings.
At this point I would take marginal competence, forget expertise.
Finally magnetic foot insoles will get FDA approval.
I love the idea of modeling our system on Denmark’s. Let’s start with their Universal fucking Healthcare!
Increasing morbidity and mortality IS the plan apparently. Can't wait for The Comeuppance!
