BACK IT UP

I think it's like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.

It's quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.

When was the last time your big FDA doctor told you to sun your butthole? Why would they hide that from you?

They hate sunscreen because skin cancer good apparently

FDA agent mr snrub

i think he's referring to the butthole sunners

HAARP

Don't expect consistency from this administration.

Stem cells.

He’s not talking about the stem cells that can cure a select few diseases.

He’s talking about an alternative medicine thing which is basically sticking cells from your right arm into your left arm and calling it “stem cell therapy” then claiming it can cure hundreds of diseases.

There is zero evidence (or RCTs) showing his version of “stem cells” works.

The FDA bases approval on two highly successful phase 3 RCTs of a specific drug for a specific condition. You can read more about that process here

Neither psychedelics not RFK’s version of stem cell therapy has that yet.

I mean psychedelics really shouldn't be suppressed as much as they want, but with him gutting all actual medical science, they're not gonna be helping much.

They have tons of potential and power, but binging mushrooms for three days and dancing in circles isn't probably the only way we can utilise them. (I'm not saying it's a bad one, just not necessarily suited for everyone.)

And actually if psychedelics gets lumped into his shit it might just be a step back for research on psychedelics when eventually this craziness of his blows up in his face. Hopefully before he implements any of it. Or even gets into office.

Clean foods is also a good thing

For point one, there was a big study about it but it turned out the study co-ordinators were intimidating people into saying that it helped them when it didn't. This is why psychedelics are still banned because the "scientists" that were trying to prove that they were safe fucked up in the dumbest possible way.

2: Yes, buttt there are some issues, but afaik do not throw the baby out with the bath water -> https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/02/29/the-stem-cell-scandal

He also talked about obstructive health patents. I'll take "Things that he won't follow through on" for 500.

There are also very good reasons to think that the money in medicine distorts and corrupts the science. Fact is the proper trials are very expensive and the only institutions that can afford them are pharmaceutical corporations. So the only treatments that get trailed are the ones that make good business sense.

1. Yes.
2. Also, yes.

We can simply harvest stem cells from the lowest status minorities in the deportation camps

My guy, Peptides and SARMS are also super interesting,think of it as the middleground between sports suplements and steroids, chemicals to fuck with your hormones in specific ways. Im taking 4 seperate ones at the moment and my biggest worry is "Am I getting whats on the label" and the biggest reason I dont know is that the FDA wont approve them for human consumption, even though thousands of people do.

I know I might be placing myself at risk of side effects, but I'm already doing it! I'm going to continue doing it, at least let me know my BPC157 is legit.

Psychedelics have been studied using grants for years now, and al it of research has already been done and psychologists are using them in micro doses. RFK is a fucking clown, hopefully he visits the level 4 infectious diseases and licks the vials.

Even better than that. You take the medicine and it reduces everyone else's risk of getting sick, even the ones that refuse to take the medicine. It's the closest thing we have IRL to literal magic.

As an immunocompromised person, thank you to everyone who gets vaccinated against communicable disease, you make my world a little less heinous to navigate.

People like RFK don't get it. Also, has anyone seen a fucking microchip in a syringe... ever?

Unexpected Tim Minchin!

Yeah this is actually really hopeful in a fucked up way. I really hope they legalize psychedelics. They are an extremely effective way to get people to stop voting republican. Worked for me. It woke something up in me that made me realize how selfish and self-serving that entire party is. I'm the only one in my family who no longer votes republican, and also the only one who has tried psychedelics. I think that says a lot.

I would love for this to be true, and I believe there are many benefits to psychedelics…but then I remember the Manson family existed

Edit: I fully support psychedelics..just saying.
And on a friendlier, non-Manson note. Please share your favorite psych related music @ !psychedelicmusic@lemmy.world

The thing with psychedelics is that you only see what you bring with you

If there's anything psychedelics do, it's prompting you to question your existence.

It's the brain worms trying to protect themselves legally from the side effects of having brain worms.

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.

Consistency? Not even once.

This is like, one mention of "nuclear wessels" away from being a deleted scene from Star Trek IV.

Roger Payne is right.

The biggest mistake was that we didn't nuke the whales.

That's why it's included and it's the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.

Yes, but it shouldn't be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.

Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It's a win-win!

A broken clock is right twice a day. A random number generator will also occasionally give you the right answer.

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.

It would suck for the rubes who can be fooled into taking poison, but it would be kinda based if RFK just legalized everything. Reality might turn to shit, but at least we can get high however we want!

No, he won't. Or he might, ostensibly, but they will never be propery researched and they will never be properly regulated, so you won't really know what you're getting or how it should be administered, so good luck with that.

The only thing you can reliably count on with the incoming administration is that whatever they are doing, they are doing to make themselves and their friends wealthier, at the expense of the rest of the public. Unfortunately, that doesn't only mean finacial expense.

The solar panels are sucking all the energy from the sun and not allowing anyone else to use it.

Big Sun will get its day in the … eh sun.

He's going to ban sunscreen isn't he

Yeah. They were pretty adamant lefties were easily triggered a few years ago

Now they believe lefties are destroying the environment, and are having a temper tantrum over a lie as stupid as people eating pets told by a guy who lies about everything

Disinformation coming out of the FDA is a real issue though, it's just that RFK isn't exactly the person we should want trying to fix it. His list covers the entire spread from significant real issues to batshit crazy conspiracy theory, leaning heavily towards the latter.

It's notable that the areas in most need of reform were all broken by conservative politicians.

He's not conservative.

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

I'm surprised, with all the whale carcasses and roadkill bears, RFK Jr hasn't already become patient zero for a pandemic.

I'm literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There's no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

horse

I see what you did there

Feels like beating a dead horse.

At least that horse won’t have parasites with all the ivermectin RFK Jr. is going to feed it.

He rants about the FDA suppressing things big pharma can't patent... Did they not develop and patent these?

It's a call to action for people still pissy about having to wear masks

The worst part is that they really didn't, they just didn't know that they didn't. They won't realize for a while (until it affects them personally). Some never will.

And parents are held responsible if they give it to kids

Insurance should also not need to cover sickness caused by it

By that he means sunning his arsehole, of course. Great excuse for exposing yourself to minors.

As if! That would violate the proscription on exercise!

It just absolutely sucks that psychedelics and marijuana are being wrapped up in this bullshit.

Ok, but have you had raw milk Camembert? That's probably the one thing from the list where you guys should be more lax.

The American public is too servile, and too busy tearing each other down, to do that.

Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% mortality rate for every person that has ever consumed it.

It sure would be nice if one side of the political aisle hadn't convinced its voters to disarm themselves while the other side stockpiled guns.

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.
