[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you feel the need to lecture people about [b]“belief” in for-profit corporate pharmaceutical products [/b]and the need to “trust” captured regulators if you know the industry is corrupt?  Seems like a strange use of time and energy for “reformers.”  Why would you feel the need to freak out and “resist” and “fight” audits and cost-cutting and layoffs if you agree there’s waste and you know we’re borrowing an extra $2 trillion a year to fund the waste?

Like I said, Democrats have become fierce defenders of the Establishment.

The party isn’t even anti-war anymore.  You sound like spoken for the military industrial complex.  Slava Ukraini![/quote]

You do know that the Instagram influencers who sell “alternatives” like snake oil and juices are profiting off disease too, right? Considering they don’t have to pay for R&D, clinical studies, advanced education, or pretty much anything else beyond basic ingredients for their unproven concoctions, it’s almost pure profit. Estimated in hundreds of billions of dollars per year.

Your attention is profit to them too, even if you don’t buy.

“Natural” can be a rip off too.

The more you know…

Yes, I know.  This doesn’t make the Dems any less pro-establishment.

And individual supplement peddlers are pikers compared to Pfizer, THE most important corporate funder in politics AND news.  Pfizer AND Moderna EACh set the record for single biggest grossing largest year one revenue of ANY corporate product ever launched.  Bigger than color tv, bigger than Toyota Camry, Fedex, iphone, etc.  Pfizer had an awful lot of help from Uncle Sam and the news media they sponsor.  And they continue to get help from people like you, arguing that some youtube influencer with a vitamin is “just as bad.”

You’re welcome to your opinion.  I’m sure you’re right about many things.  But what I’m right about is that a lot of upper middle class Dems shill for establishment donors like this, and swing voters in search of reform aren’t that impressed.  If you really want voters to trust pharma corporations more (a strange goal, but okay), you should ban their ads on tv news.  That’s a reform.  Complaining about supplements is not.[/quote]
