Thanks for sharing! The insanity and madness continues! Where are they finding all the incompetent people? ! ?

It's just a river of Republican hypocrisy, lies and evil.

This is truly awful. Jones Day's work with formula companies stretches back to previous cases of harm. They were key to paving the way to the formula crisis. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/06/business/abbott-baby-formula-lawsuits-jones-day.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1U4.dyCm.3vS-jtV1bt_7&smid=url-share

So many lives are at stake here. The regulatory process was already deeply flawed. This takes out any remaining defenses. Lives of the most vulnerable are at stake! We wrote about this in the @thelancet.bsky.social https://www.thelancet.com/series/Breastfeeding-2023

Right. And he did. That person will now be permanently embedded in the FDA and have special protection so they can't be removed. The problem w the pay not being enough is solved by getting "tips" from food and drug companies. Under the new tax laws tips aren't taxed and they're not reportable!

You do know that the Secretary of HHS is a loon, right? And says all
kinds of crazy shit.

It’s probably the years of heroin abuse.

Fraud and corruption.

It's almost impressive how dedicated they are to only doing the evil parts of their agenda.

Like there was a whole cottage industry of pundits and take-havers going "okay yes he's anti-vaxxer scum BUT some of these other ideas are okay" and we're getting nothing but the anti-vaxx crap.

ah! a big part of project 2025’s chapter on HHS has to do with ending this revolving door! (perhaps this is mentioned)
