    […] raw milk […]

    I’d support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn’t safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.

      And parents are held responsible if they give it to kids

      Insurance should also not need to cover sickness caused by it

      I think we should take full advantage of this opportunity. Ok, here we go.

      “Robert F Kennedy Jr Is a 👶🗡️BABY MURDERER👶🗡️!!! He thinks people should inject 💉themselves with stem cells which is just a Demoncrat code name for little bits of 💀unborn baby💀! 👏President Trump 👏 is appointing a pro-choice Demoncrat 👹 BABY MURDERER to head up the FDA !! Pass it on and tell PRESIDENT Trump to not appoint ☠️BABY MURDER RFK JR ☠️ to run the FDA.”

      How am I doing so far?

      Edit: Facebookified it a bit.

    Honestly, Stem Cells becoming more available is cool. I don’t expect his christian overlords to allow it, but it’s a cool thought.

    I just hope none of his other snake oils end up in products for the general population. If it just killed off willing idiots then womp womp, they get what they voted for, but public health risks are rarely so discriminatory.

      One the one hand, yes, I expect there to be internal pushback on this one. On the other hand, the HHS Secretary reports directly to the least Christian man in America.

        But the supreme authority in this case is the senate. If the Trump Admin steps too out of line the senate can remove the secretaries, federal judges, and/or the president themself with 60 votes, which would be as easy as 45 DNC, 2 IND, and 13 GOP.

        In fact, Trump was forced into signing steel tariffs / sanctions against Russia when he initially refused to sign S.722 in 2017.

        Seems like a lot of the sources on that debacle have been lost to the pile of Russia and Trump ties, but I remember it very clearly.

        Christians acting evil starts to make sense if you consider god was never on any of our sides.

    Don’t worry, everyone! While we will ignore science and make sure you don’t have vaccines, you’ll have shrooms, rock crystals, and essential oils when bird flu finally hits.

    Or I eat a dead bat and become patient zero for Ebola. It’s all good! - RFK Jr

      The Democrats should create a shadow presidential cabinet where the health secretary gives science backed advice for people who are looking for it. It would be better to have a centralised political source rather than having everyone independently search Healthline

    Yeah it’s the FDA keeping people from exercising.

    What he’s missing is that people who want raw milk are already finding ways to get it. And people who understand the safety issues won’t buy it.

    There might be some real self selection and culling of the right wing heard about to happen. Maybe this is for the greater good after all?

      As someone who does performance enhancing substances and has a keen interest in Peptides and Sarms, I believe that some good could come from this.

      Lets not pretend that the FDA hasnt created a walled garden with an insanely high barrier of entry for new drugs and compounds. Its prohibitively expensive to develop anything new and interesting. Especially in the space I mentioned where literally thousands of people are doing those drugs every day. But with precious fuckall in the way of actual literature on doses or quality sources.

      Oh, he knows. They took him on an airplane and made him eat food he had just called “poison” for a photo shoot.

      He couldn’t say no, because of the implication.

        Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn’t make him eat it. But the thing is, he’s not gonna say no, because of the implication.
