Science-based? From this guy?  :lol:  :oops: [/quote]

A non-scientist is going to police scientists? That should be interesting.

In another article, it's speculated that he would also work on these issues:

*In other social media posts, Kennedy said he would seek to “get toxins out of our food,” remove corporate influence from government agencies and ban pharmaceutical advertising.

*NBC News reported last week Kennedy could head an initiative sources described as “Operation Warp Speed for childhood chronic disease,” speculating Kennedy may target obesity and diabetes in children.

I'm struck by two things in these examples. 1) removing "corporate influence," banning pharmaceutical advertising, and addressing obesity and diabetes in children (indirectly involves the food and beverage industry) would all go against corporate interests--how does that work in an administration that privileges big business and seeks to remove anything restricting corporate profits? 2) The sorts of things he is advocating are quite progressive and already occurring in places like Europe, which is way ahead of us on the quality of food and pharmaceuticals, but it sounds very progressive, doesn't it? Not a natural fit for MAGA. Michelle Obama was criticized by the right for her efforts on preventing childhood obesity. Americans don't like to be told what to do, including what to eat and drink. So why the shift now?[/quote]

Its really weird that this is what Democrats are complaining about. If there is anything to be unified about, its this![/quote]
