Oh good they listed them all in one place so if a doctor references it I know to just get up and walk the fuck out.
Time to dust off the ol' snake oil dancing shoes!!
Dumbfucks wanted this.
Oh no it's the Sun everybody run inside -the FDA probably
By that he means sunning his arsehole, of course. Great excuse for exposing yourself to minors.
And a healthy swig of bleach for good measure. Cheers!
True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed "Here is a prescription for some meds" while handing me the prescription.
It wasn't a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote "Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything."
Big Pharma is everywhere! /s
Dude needs to take his Sméagol-sounding ass back to Middle Earth and leave science to those who hat the least have a rudimentary knowledge of it.
[…] psychedelics […]
I'm glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.
Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It's a win-win!
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.
That's why it's included and it's the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.
The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it's going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.
[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]
I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.
horse
I see what you did there
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
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.
[…] 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.
Thoughts and prayers, America.
Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?
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.
Consistency? Not even once.
RFK Jr. about to legalize date rape drugs. Mark. My. Words.
I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it's efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).
I was there with a bunch of high school students who's rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.
RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like "WTF is up with this dude? We've never seen grownups act like this!"
We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about gray whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us "Whales are people damn it! But you can't publish that! You can't fucking publish that!"
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.
Wait so he is pro psychedelics?
Huh, it would be really weird if the US legalized acid.
If maga starts doing acid to own the libs maybe they would finally start questioning things.
I know I’m wrong, but one can hope can’t they?
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 @ [email protected]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.
The thing with psychedelics is that you only see what you bring with you
Vaccines are the laziest, lowest effort medicine we have. There is no medical treatment that is more effective for so little actual work on the part of the patient. Which is exactly the kind of medicine we need to have the greatest impact on the population base.
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.
I appreciate your gratitude and I really do hope it does some good for others... Especially because I really hate needles but I have it done anyway for this reason. Lol 😬
Counterpoint: RFK doesn't want to admit he got his weird voice thing from hep C from his IV heroin habit, so it has to be vaccines. Checkmate, libtard.
How does Hep C cause spasmodic dysphonia? I can’t say I’ve ever seen that on the general medical Hep C bingo card.
Link?
People like RFK don't get it. Also, has anyone seen a fucking microchip in a syringe... ever?
You can't see them without a microscope, duhhh.
That's why they're called MICRO-chips.
I think it’s a large variation of a syringe needle that chips our pets, but aside from that monstrously large setup that isn’t even used on humans, no.
Closest thing I can think of is the capsule sized camera that can be swallowed to collect data as it travels through that long tube that connect mouth to anus. Even then, I’ve never seen that setup used on anyone.
In the bio hacking world, yea. There are reprogrammable RFID implants that you can get. They are rather large though and kind of suck when trying to use. Check out dangerousthings.com
Damn that FDA and their suppression of...*checks list...sunshine?
Was the solar eclipse an inside job?!?
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 Vitamin D. There was this whole thing during the COVID pandemic about how the FDA/CDC were SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET about how impactful Vitamin D levels were on COVID outcomes or something and how that's how you know that... something something sinister ulterior motives.
So like the idea was that everybody going outside and getting some sun was actually the best thing for public health, but THEY were telling you to languish inside under lockdowns, because clearly they didn't want you to be healthy.
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.
To be fair, non-mineral sunscreens do fuck with your hormones a bit. Still better then skin cancer though.
There was a finding a few years ago that while preventing skin cancer, sunscreen was also causing people in some places to get less vitamin d which was increasing instances of colon cancer. The solution isn't banning sunscreen, it's making sure people get some small amount of sun or supplements vitamin d.
Being from Oz I never really considered issues with vitamin d until I moved to the UK for a few years and discovered that limited vitamin d is a real problem in winter. Im not sure on the deficiency you need for colon cancer but a few weeks of little to no Sun really messes with your head and body.
It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people.
I mean, it halfway is:
-
"Sunscreen" -- stuff with a decently high SPF rating -- is a good thing that prevents cancer.
-
"Suntan lotion" -- usually glorified coconut oil with fuck-all SPF rating -- is a bad thing that harms people.
-
"Sunscreen lotion" -- a confused amalgamation of the previous terms -- is not a thing and only misleads people by conflating good things with harmful ones.
-
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.
They're suppressing my ability to digest food?
In all that crazy, there's, shockingly, two good points:
-
Psychedelics. There's at least anecdotal evidence they're good for treating certain traumas / PTSD. So, yeah, we should be looking into their medicinal applications. But is it the FDA or the DEA that's cockblocking those?
-
Stem cells. Abso-fucking-lutely yes. But wasn't it the "pro life" people holding that up?
He also talked about obstructive health patents. I'll take "Things that he won't follow through on" for 500.
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.
Thanks for clarifying. I took the mention of stem cells in the wall of crazy tweet to be the more credible form of stem cell therapy. Considering I was fully aware of who was making the statement, the fault is mine.
I suspect my insurance company will soon cover shoving goat testicles into my scrotum. I'll be so virile!
Don't expect consistency from this administration.
Expect only what they can actually deliver. Chaos
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.
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
My concern is that his definition of clean food is incompatible with a sane definition of clean food.
We're talking about a man who got mercury poisoning from eating unsafe fish, and ate meat that caused a worm to eat part of his brain. His standards for food safety are clearly not the same as mine.
If he were to assert that pasteurizing milk causes nearsightedness and lazy eye, I wouldn't not be surprised.
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.
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.
So RFK Jr's Dept. of HHS is going to increase government grants for pharmaceutical research, right?
...right?
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
We can simply harvest stem cells from the lowest status minorities in the deportation camps

"You know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine."
Unexpected Tim Minchin!
127TB of data. That's almost exactly 20 LTO-6 tapes. Good for 30 years when you'll need to transfer them to something better.
It'll cost you less than $300 and it'll all fit into a shoebox.
Become an archivist. The future depends on it.
It’ll cost you less than $300
Except for the multi-thousand-dollar drive.
Lto6 drives are more in the sub 500 realm now. Still pricey but far more affordable. Of course more modern lto.... Yeah
“Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway”
High latency though and particularly catastrophic if you get packet loss
Fucking FDA and big Pharma having a stranglehold on vitamins, exercise and su-...and ..sunshine..
Don't forget the FDA's aggressive suppression of exercise.
Exactly, that's why I'm so fat and unhealthy!
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
I'm surprised, with all the whale carcasses and roadkill bears, RFK Jr hasn't already become patient zero for a pandemic.
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

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.
Yes, make psychedelics legal!
As much as I want psychedelics to be legal, I think putting RFK in charge of anything important is far too high of a price to pay.
stem cells
Evangelicals: I think you're getting ahead of yourself
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.
Look people. This is life now. We could rise up and put all these motherfuckers out of our misery, but nobody is willing to handle business
The American public is too servile, and too busy tearing each other down, to do that.
Ah yes, vitamins, the secret cure-all that has been kept from us all those years without brainworms at the helm.
Day of the living brain dead.
did that dude just say stem cells? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh brother
