It’s indefensible. You’re an embarrassment.

Isn't this asshole from the wellness industry?

What's especially embarrassing is that the creation of mRNA vaccines for Covid, done at scale and in the kind of timeline they were done was a modern-day miracle, and so many dumb motherfuckers don't understand that fact, at all. Instead, they whine and carp and then rely on lying motherfuckers like this asshole to buttress their ignorance.

Cut the research dollars then have private companies do the work. Then those companies can get all the profits. Then the politicians who voted to allow this to happen can get their bribes. I mean campaign donations.

TBF, under the previous system, wasn't most research funded by us, only to have all the profit privatized?

Ironic that Bobby Brainworm, a fellow traveler in the bullshit "wellness industry" wrote this:

FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.

It is THESE PEOPLE that are conducting a war on our health.

FFS. Ivermectin? Raw milk? What. The. Actual. Fuck. What about leeches?

Also, I don't remember anyone in the FDA suppressing proper nutrition, exercise or sunshine.

I fucking hate this timeline so much. I tend to follow futurism/transhumanist types of discussions and so on, and I can see the promise of the future health and medicine breakthroughs (and I mean truly paradigm-breaking things like age reversal, and certainly improving treatment for a whole host of things like Parkinson's, cancer, Alzheimers, etc.) that are probably not that far off, when we combine large amounts of data, and LLMs, and projects like folding@home, along with lots of research grants coming from a (sane) government.

All of that presupposes that we would not have a black swan event like having the dumbest MFer in the public get "elected" and surround himself with complete dumbasses and fascists making all the decisions with ZERO checks and balances on them....why is it that the stupidest apes have to hold all of us down?
