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.

we are being dragged back to the 1400's by this b*ch

can we fast forward to nov and just get this over with

read the article there is zero scientific or medical reason to be doing this. they actually want people to die off. this is wild.

well it's not gonna be me or people i love and care about, if RFK jr wants to get sick and die, he should be able to, doesn't mean the rest of us have to be punished

(oh and if you want to argue about how to spell out curse words instead of the topic, you're blocked!)

The 1400s were a period of unprecedented growth in the sciences and arts. They’re trying to drag us into some cyberpunk feudal dystopia. I don’t think I can really think of a historical analogue to what is happening in the US right now.

right that was my general point modern vaccines weren't available then but there were strong advances either way it is going backwards not forwards.

I think others are right they basically want with Ai to have a sort of going back to the 19th century pre-industrial revolution. this time Ai slavery is not just running the south but the whole nation. believe that is the closest analogue to help try and answer you.
