RFK Jr. says AI will approve new drugs at FDA ‘very, very quickly’ (gizmodo.com)

"We need to stop trusting the experts," Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality.

Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess.

These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcast of a racist former Fox News host. But Kennedy happens to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who’s been given enormous power over America’s entire healthcare system thanks to Donald Trump.

I on the other hand will be only following other countries medical approvals. If it's approved only in the US I will refuse to take it.

Well, it's going to be hard because it's not the same brand that's going to be on the market here and there, not the same composition, etc.

Why sell the expensive drugs that passed muster in other countries if you can sell random shit for the same price? You need at least state-level cooperation to push back against this.

Oh I will specifically get them from somewhere else. I have a plan to flee soon as well.

On the one hand, there will be a shitload of new untested meds flooding the market. On the other hand, 'the market' can't afford to use them anyway because Medicaid is dead.

So really it's just silver linings in all directions, I guess.
