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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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
