Dumbfucks wanted this.

[–] banana_lama@lemm.ee 6 points 2 hours ago

Oh no it's the Sun everybody run inside -the FDA probably

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

And a healthy swig of bleach for good measure. Cheers!

True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed "Here is a prescription for some meds" while handing me the prescription.

It wasn't a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote "Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything."

Big Pharma is everywhere! /s

Dude needs to take his Sméagol-sounding ass back to Middle Earth and leave science to those who hat the least have a rudimentary knowledge of it.

[…] psychedelics […]

I'm glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.

[–] dolle@feddit.dk 9 points 2 hours ago

Yes, but it shouldn't be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 17 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's why it's included and it's the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 3 hours ago

The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it's going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.

[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 33 minutes ago

horse

I see what you did there

[–] Liz@midwest.social 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There's no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Cool cool cool, but what are you taking it for?

[–] jagermo 8 points 1 hour ago

The rash from banging your mum

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

He rants about the FDA suppressing things big pharma can't patent... Did they not develop and patent these?

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

It's a call to action for people still pissy about having to wear masks

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago

Feels like beating a dead horse.

At least that horse won’t have parasites with all the ivermectin RFK Jr. is going to feed it.

[…] raw milk […]

I'd support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn't safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.

[–] auzy@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

And parents are held responsible if they give it to kids

Insurance should also not need to cover sickness caused by it

[–] Oneser@lemm.ee 1 points 7 minutes ago

Insurance should cover everyone for everything and should remain affordable for all.

Thoughts and prayers, America.

Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 31 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, he knows. They took him on an airplane and made him eat food he had just called "poison" for a photo shoot.

He couldn't say no, because of the implication.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 3 hours ago

Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn't make him eat it. But the thing is, he's not gonna say no, because of the implication.

RFK Jr. about to legalize date rape drugs. Mark. My. Words.

I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it's efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).

I was there with a bunch of high school students who's rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.

RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like "WTF is up with this dude? We've never seen grownups act like this!"

We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about gray whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us "Whales are people damn it! But you can't publish that! You can't fucking publish that!"

[–] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 27 points 8 hours ago

This is like, one mention of "nuclear wessels" away from being a deleted scene from Star Trek IV.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

The biggest mistake was that we didn't nuke the whales.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 24 points 9 hours ago

Roger Payne is right.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 107 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

Wait so he is pro psychedelics?

Huh, it would be really weird if the US legalized acid.

If maga starts doing acid to own the libs maybe they would finally start questioning things.

I know I’m wrong, but one can hope can’t they?

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

I would love for this to be true, and I believe there are many benefits to psychedelics…but then I remember the Manson family existed

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 67 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah this is actually really hopeful in a fucked up way. I really hope they legalize psychedelics. They are an extremely effective way to get people to stop voting republican. Worked for me. It woke something up in me that made me realize how selfish and self-serving that entire party is. I'm the only one in my family who no longer votes republican, and also the only one who has tried psychedelics. I think that says a lot.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 17 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly, some of these pricks could really probably benefit from getting out of their head for a bit lol.

Vaccines are the laziest, lowest effort medicine we have. There is no medical treatment that is more effective for so little actual work on the part of the patient. Which is exactly the kind of medicine we need to have the greatest impact on the population base.

[–] julietOscarEcho@sh.itjust.works 24 points 6 hours ago

Even better than that. You take the medicine and it reduces everyone else's risk of getting sick, even the ones that refuse to take the medicine. It's the closest thing we have IRL to literal magic.

As an immunocompromised person, thank you to everyone who gets vaccinated against communicable disease, you make my world a little less heinous to navigate.

[–] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Counterpoint: RFK doesn't want to admit he got his weird voice thing from hep C from his IV heroin habit, so it has to be vaccines. Checkmate, libtard.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 1 points 8 minutes ago

How does Hep C cause spasmodic dysphonia? I can’t say I’ve ever seen that on the general medical Hep C bingo card.

Link?

Yeah it's the FDA keeping people from exercising.

What he's missing is that people who want raw milk are already finding ways to get it. And people who understand the safety issues won't buy it.

There might be some real self selection and culling of the right wing heard about to happen. Maybe this is for the greater good after all?

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

As someone who does performance enhancing substances and has a keen interest in Peptides and Sarms, I believe that some good could come from this.

Lets not pretend that the FDA hasnt created a walled garden with an insanely high barrier of entry for new drugs and compounds. Its prohibitively expensive to develop anything new and interesting. Especially in the space I mentioned where literally thousands of people are doing those drugs every day. But with precious fuckall in the way of actual literature on doses or quality sources.

[–] CuriousRefugee@lemmy.ml 231 points 14 hours ago (12 children)

Damn that FDA and their suppression of...*checks list...sunshine?

Was the solar eclipse an inside job?!?
