“Pack your bags” RFK Jr. tells FDA. His war on public health under Trump would only accelerate

Many experts fear Kennedy’s anti-vaccine and anti-establishment ideals could completely derail public health
Him in charge of, or dismantling, the FDA is quite possibly one of the more terrifying outcomes of the massive ball drop that was the election.
Agreed, food safety is really taken for granted. And the libertarians on the topic don't realize we have food safety because of crazy amounts of deaths and sickness.
I previously listened to some certain farm/homestead podcasts and youtube vids. Several of that group were upset about small farms trying to sell things and also raw milk laws. While I can sympathize with ag and other laws that are stacked against the little guys, it's like... you know we have an FDA and other things because people were doing terrible shit, right? I'm sure you don't plan to, but the problem is many other people do. That wasn't the only thing that turned me off that particular group. They want fewer regulations and stuff, but they also depend on their water, skies, and soil not being polluted to hell all while talking about NOT putting bad/polluted things in their bodies. One talked about potentially bribing a CA emissions check guy in the same damned podcast because their truck as they were leaving CA didn't meet standards. I stopped watching/listening, but I'm wondering if the hurricane that hit a lot of the carolinas quite badly changed their minds about certain things and government help; I'm guessing 'no' even if they took said help.
Edit: I no longer live in the US, but I do think that small farms should have a bit more ability to do some things so long as the buyer is properly informed of and accepts that risk, but there are all kinds of considerations that would have to be done around that and probably limits on size to keep the big/industrial guys from trying to exploit it.
Maybe people shouldn't have stayed home in protest over Palestine?
it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
The "giant Palestine protest non-voter" is a myth. Same as blaming third party voters. Voter turn out was actually comparable to 2020. These are insignificant compared to the demographic shifts observed this election cycle.
Also, it feels a bit icky to see so many people use protesting a genocide as a strawman "gotcha" for why the Democratic Party collapsed in an election cycle once again. Harris having 100 days to campaign because Biden didn't drop out soon enough, the DNC being at odds behind closed doors, hell the RACISM/SEXISM problem America as a whole has (white people as a demographic still majorly voted for Trump across the board, while also citing there is no racism problem in America).
Here's the PBS interactive graph I used to base my claims. Take a look and play around with the graphs. A lot of my preconceptions from reading MSM "left wing" corporate media regarding the "protest vote" was thrown out once I looked at the stats.
If the Democrats wanted to bring these people out, then perhaps they should've changed their stance when it comes to Israel.
Sorry, but voters are going to vote based off their values, and if they see nobody who reflects their values, then the onus is on the parties, not the voters.
If you're Arab-American, and you see that your country is facilitating the bombing of the country your parents were born and raised in, then you're not gonna vote for the party in power that's actively allowing that to occur.
Why don't you go ahead and tell the people in those shoes that they should go out and vote for the people who refuse to stop supporting a foreign government that's actively killing their family members? Go on, say it to their face that they should have supported the people who support the country that killed their cousin. Tell them that they should have chosen between the person that's killing their relatives, and the person who'll do it even more.
I make a prediction. RFK Jr. will be dropped by Trump not making it into tge cabinet. FDA will be decimated anyway. I dearly hope that vaccines are not forbidden, but you never hope.
Half of Trump's cabinet won't make it through the first year, as evidenced by his first presidency. He hemorrhaged staff throughout his entire presidency, and I hope that continues, as it may actually work to make it harder to implement his agenda.
With RFK and Trump both being whacko eccentrics, I think it's likely RFK and Trump will get along swimmingly. They just have too much in common.
They are hiring Joel Salatin as a consultant, which is awesome. If they get rid of the "Covid vaccine", great. Also, get rid of all the toxic shit in vaccines, like thimerosal, etc. Change the food pyramid to put meat and fats at the top, as it should be. Get rid of all processed food and make it illegal to sell. Also make it MANDATORY to bake a goddamn freedom-loving apple pie every Saturday and put it on your window to cool. Create a special "Apfelwaffen" to check every home to ensure they are free, every Saturday. Ah, America!
