Eugenics, the basics:

1. Spread diseases
2. Target the disabled
3. Target the elderly
4. Disappear minorities from public life
5. Devalue life
6. Dismantle rules and regulations to allow for unethical trials on humans

Goal: building a super race
Noted example: nazi Germany
Result: the Holocaust

It's terrible when the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) fires expert scientists or pushes them to resign.

Dangerous.

marjona76.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is bad and scary. These companies and agribusinesses don’t care if we get sick or die from their products. It’s an acceptable loss to them to settle in courts or pay fines rather than produce products safely and ensure they’re safe for consumption.

Not just bad for drug safety, but for getting insurance coverage for meds because coverage is tied to FDA approval. This is catastrophic for the health of Americans. And for drug innovation. SMH

graceomalley.bsky.social•1 day ago

They'll never be able to fix the damage they've done already. They're hellbent on destroying our country & selling it to Putin for parts, pennies on the dollar. I will hate Republicans with a white-hot passion till the day I die.

The FDA was created, in part, because of something called 'Radium Water.' I think RFKJr might like my idea for a new supplements startup.

leonfarqhuar.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seems to go right a long with everything else Trump is doing. Who needs experts on on drug development and approvals when the decision about whether or not to approve a drug now depends on how much money Trump will demand in bribes and whether you have the money to pay it. Cutting bureaucracy!

rclyde.bsky.social•1 day ago

Time for Humpty to be scrambled although it appears he already is~~

itsnotathing.bsky.social•1 day ago

All of these cut to agencies, especially the way they are being done, are bad. We are not only losing expertise, we are losing critical functions. Take care of yourself. The government is no longer looking out for safety in food, disease, the environment, etc. we are on our own.

colin25.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes but. Oxycontin was approved by FDA. Whilst this is most likely wrong, corruption at FDA has also been an issue.
I would love someone to state they will clean up the institutions. That includes idiots peddling false science (Kennedy). Focus should be on corruption at all levels, politics etc

It's ironic to me because their policies (outside of being eugenic and cruel) clash with their own interests. Do you want a group of people to be poor and constantly labor for your wealth, or do you want them to die? Which is it?

indianapearl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Slavery.

dewterium2.bsky.social•1 day ago

This has definitely been making sense to me as the actions of eugenicists who believe they're culling the weak from the herd.

They were so obvious about it during COVID too, the whole “grandma/the unfit should die for the economy no masks no lockdowns” was a big ol giveaway. But yet nobody wants to believe that these evil folks are exactly as evil as they tell us 24/7 that they are.

nlstuever.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not just poor people. The loss of experience and expertise in government agencies will affect every American. No longer will we be able to count on food, medications, air travel, cars, baby equipment, cleaning products, water, etc. being safe…and Americans from all walks of life will die.
