To be fair, he has several good things on his agenda. Big thing I support is getting rid of food additives already banned in most of the world except for here.
Another is pharmaceutical advertising restrictions, streamlining FDA approval of certain drugs, ending “suppression” of “non-patentable” drugs, which is a thing.

@Blackwater_Park You hit one of the ones I’m thinking of. Pharmaceutical ads on TV. I can’t stand them. “We’ve made up this disease and invented this drug that might or might not kill you. and don’t use it if you’re allergic to it! Ask you doctor if _____ is right for you!”

That and people literally die waiting on the FDA to approve certain lifesaving drugs because of the bureaucracy. Then there are drugs that are not effective at all get through, some with nasty side effects. Then, there are common remedies for things that are known but not marketed, taught or generally shared with people in a position to help because it will hurt sales of other drugs. I could lament forever on how messed up the pharmaceutical industry is.

@Blackwater_Park But I don’t really trust that RFK will fix anything. I think he’s a kook and his anti-vaccination stances are really harmful.

Blackwater_Park's avatar

@janbb I agree. There is a lot of lip service but ultimately, I don’t see any changes being made.

That he should keep his mouth shut?

I fully agreed with RFK’s opposition to the Vietnam War. ;-)

Is @Blackwater_Park a solitary remnant of the Yarnpocalypse?
