Lol, that was quick. Effectively, “Thanks for your supporters but we’ll be fine without you”.

    pharmaceutical companies probably made some lucrative deals with Trump to be pro vaccine. This guy learned from first hand why he should not suck up to a guy who worships money and power

    I would love nothing more than for this to be true and to hit that one RFK fan we have on lemmy with it, but the article doesn’t really give much evidence to support the title.

    If you think RFK’s whiplash is bad, wait until Musk finds out Trump has no more need for him either.

      Didn’t Musk find that out the first time too? He was advising Trump in 2016 and had a falling out after Trump left the Paris climate agreement.

        Musk doesn’t want to give money to Trump.

        Must wanted Trump elected so he could make his self driving systems road legal for robotaxis. He’s hoping to get all that money back and then some. If he gets what he wants, he’ll be most of the way towards being a trillionaire.

        But Trump is not a man who pays his debts and I’m here for the inevitable betrayal.

    I see nothing in the article that indicates Trump himself feels this way. What his “advisors” think is irrelevant.

    He doesn’t need RFK to run the FDA, because Trump is going to just scuttle it entirely.

    Science bad! Doctors bad! Let the drug companies do what they want! Freedumb y’all!

      Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.

      It’s not much, but it’s a small win for us.

        Yup, Missouri voted to allow abortion again. It isn’t much either, another small win. That was completely negated when they overwhelmingly voted for the man that will ban it nationally.

        Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling…so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about “too much government” in their lives because they were getting money…

      It’s definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).

    As a nearly 80 year old man who is likely eating a fistful of pills every morning, he might want to ensure that the FDA is still regulating that stuff.

      You don’t really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.

      US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.

      The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the “normal” people without great wealth or connections.

      Eh, the qons would be all over it in order to yell “fuck your feelings” at any liberals they think his policies were hurting. I mean, he was talking about ivermectin again (JFC these people are all so very stupid), and bullshit about that is something that they will seemingly never stop going on about. They were willing to take ivermectin and die from Covid, just to own the libs, because: “fuck your feelings, libs!”

      So yeah, if enough of these brainstems thought that RFK jr was going to be hurting the “right” people, they would be in like Flynn on the craziness, even if their kids’ teeth were falling out as a consequence.
