I have a theory that RFK will be pushed out by the industry itself. Pharma wields an incredibly mighty sword. RFKs ramblings and firings are ultimately gonna cut into the bottom line because they erode trust. And baby, they can't have that.

They only make money if we consume.
Can we hasten this somehow?
It's like to think you're right but I don't think they have any incentive to leave anymore. They don't plan on more elections so they won't need the money or support. I think they'll torment pharma first & unless pharma has teeth somewhere else they'll have to roll over.
Having worked in the industry for 30 years, that’s not happening.
I hope so. Or every starts believing in crystals, because their placebo effect will be better than the horse shit RFK swallows.
Look at the billions they are already losing.... each day
I really hope you're right!
Having completely lost faith in Congress and the Courts, we must rely on the markets to right this ship. Such an American situation isn’t it?
Hope you're right for all of our sakes.
I wouldnlove to see it. I am just wondering where they were thus far, if they wield so mich power? In theory Tim Apple seemed quite powerful, too. In practice he ended up crawling into the oval office carrying magical golden trinkets to appease the gods.
I've been waiting for this. They're likely lobbying Trump privately to get rid of RFK.
My theory is they are betting on a new administration long term. In the short term, private investors will help fund research and Europe, Canada, S America, India, and China will still be a market for all mRNA products.
If the US completely blocks these drugs and we get stuck with the facists, they may move on entirely to outside of the US. Some of these companies are already based in other countries. Our poor & middle class will suffer, while the wealthy will travel for their healthcare because they can afford it
The Greatest Depression will start before they get organized
Economist George Staller "It's easy to turn an aquarium into fish soup. Very hard to go back." He's making fish soup for billionaires out of our economy, public health, rule of law, natural environment, civil society, and democracy. When the soup is gone, the only thing left to eat is billionaires.
We're going to rely on big pharma's greed to save us? We're fucked either way.
A valid hypothesis, Doctor!
Hasn’t RFK’s ascent already shown that Big Pharma is a paper tiger? Like it turns out you can do crazy anti-Pharma stuff if you want! I think Dems liked the idea that they were powerless in the face of these big money groups bc really they just liked taking their money & didn’t want to oppose them
Especially the Covid vaccine. He's just getting started with the drugs he'll ban, like SSRI's. But I'm fairly certain he won't try to ban Viagra
They're too scared of trump arbitrarily hitting them with extra tariffs or cutting research even more. They'll just play along in silence for the next few years and hope it goes back to normal
Maybe not... A workaround is forming. A lot of pharmaceutical research and production comes out of the NE. Just need to get NH on board... vtdigger.org/2025/08/28/w...
It's crazy I'm rooting for the balkanization of America at this point.
Me too. It's the only way to avoid the whole country turning into the deep south.
That is a great point...finger crossed...
1/ I cleaned a home for a pharma exec in Philly. The company sold their old home and bought a huge old row house in Philly. The wife completely gutted and redecorated it. They moved back to their old home within a year. It was a ridiculously lavish existence. The exec thought the company had the
2/ right to fleece Americans because they paid for research. He was another delusional wealthy man living in a bubble with no sense of reality. His family was a fucking mess as well. I was the only one who noticed the mess. Extreme wealth breeds mental illness.
but...the taxpayers pay for the research via grants and such.
Or....Big Pharma will receive the same type of 'governmental assistance' like Big Farm and Big Oil does. Regardless, the rich prevail, and little people get hurt.
You can try to fuck with the science, but you can't fuck with the money.
Trump will probably just swap him for Hegseth. Neither is qualified or competent for either Department, but they're loyal lapdogs to the Dick-tater. 🙄
I see your point, but how much stake do the “big pharma” companies have in alternative medicine/supplements/homoepathy/ancient aliens… coz if they already own a lot of that they’ll still be making money
I hope so.
From your mouth to god’s ears. 🙏
