Don’t worry, thanks to Trump’s stupid tariffs we won’t be able to afford those drugs, anyway.

OF COURSE WE WILL HAVE A LOT LESS DRUGS, THEN Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will say "I TOLD YOU SO!"! This was Trump's plan all along! If he can't deport all the folks he doesn't like, he just kills them off ... And steal anything of value! That's why he LIED and cut funds to Medicaid! TRUMP IS GREEDY!!!

So I read The Jungle when I was in high school and I'm pretty sure you don't need to read anything else ever again to know you want an FDA that keeps our food and medicine safe and clean and authentic. Why can't we just have nice things? 😫

That’s funny, I just came here to ask about the Jungle. Required reading for us in 11th grade. Class of 2002. I don’t think it gets taught anymore. When did you graduate?

Another JFKjr bias. He's drunk on power. So wrapped up in his psychotic opinion, real can't penetrate reason. Foreign pharma makers could have been poisoning us if they chose to moons ago. Ass takes down the safeguards and many of pharma mfgrs hating America, JFKjr is asking for trouble.

I'm sure we're gonna cut way back on inspecting food as well. And inspections for product safety. Forget about recalls, like he said with covid- if you don't test you don't have cases... Watch for e coli increases, stuff in food that shouldn't be there. Time to reread The Jungle.

Of course not. The EU health officials are not changing anything. So any drug produced in the EU will of course gave the same safety standards. Probably better than the FDA standards.
