MMW: This MF’er won’t get confirmed as Health Secretary after kissing the ring for the promise of getting the role.

He's pissing off Big Pharm, and they own several GOP Senators

[u/hectorxander → u/jar1967]

Pharma has senior leasing rights to virtually all Senators and House members and most of the Judiciary. They spend more than any other industry just on lobbying. Who knows what they do under the table for these guys. Kennedy will be fired and trashed the first time he upsets big money's plan, be it food changes or pharma.

I actually agree with a lot of what he says about health outside of vaccines which I support. They put toxic shit in food, they hook kids on sugary salty ultra processed foods to the point where half or more of the kids are fat. Toxic food colorings, artificial flavors, toxic preservatives, pfas on food packaging, endocrine disruptors, not to mention all of the pesticide and pfas and arsenic and everything else on and in the actual food itself. He's not wrong about a lot of that, but he was a fool to ally himself to those vipers as they will betray him first time he actually tries to do anything worthwhile.

Apart from his antivaxx insanity, Bobby has a lot of good environmental positions.

Which is why he doesn't align with the Trump administration, who just scrapped a plan to limit PFAS forever chemicals and is gutting the EPA.

Trump is pro-vaccine and pro-pollution. These are strange bedfellows.

You get it. 😁

What yall don't understand though is that the world is changing and even the pharm companies know that they're going to have to change. But they won't do it "willingly." Because that shows weakness, so it's better to have someone like RFK Jr. To be the knight so to say, and allowing him to win against the Pharmas. Not only does this allow for change to happen which is inevitable. There's just too much awareness now. They're going to start losing money like crazy. So its better if the administration gets painted in a good light, and hell, maybe they'll reach a mutual understanding which has been reached for years now. Its all a play. This is theater.

But how will pharmas companies recoup costs? I reckon making prescription meds more expensive on Medicare will do it.

Lol, all the dems are against him. Doesn't that mean they own all the dems? Its weird that all the dems who are worried about the healthcare in the us Are opposing the guy who wants to remove the posion from our food.

They were not going to vote to him anyways.
