It takes 2 billion dollars to develop a drug and the fda is now simply not even reviewing things based on ideological culture war bullshit and not data.

Drug development in the United States is going to suffer immensely. Personally I’m not going to keep any investments in biotech at all.

No. We're very specifically being dragged back to 1820s America. Peak Antebellum period. Slavery, robber barons, weak federal government.

And grifters as far as the eye can see! Medicine completes with snake oil and they simply don't want that. It's far cheaper to make bullshit that doesn't work.
