    As one of the people who lost their job, doing important & worthwhile work, directly due to the funding cuts of this current administration, I only have a few words: FUCK YOU okay that’s two. So, let’s add PEDOPHILES to the end. FUCK YOU PEDOPHILES.

    This dude thinks aspirin causes autism but then complains we’re not approving enough drugs. That tapeworm really did a number on this guy.

    LOL. This cunt shut down the NIH and now laments the lack of new drugs, coming from scientists forced by the US to move to China.

      This is the point everyone misses. Hes not asking for more medical research to be done, hes asking for the standards for approval to be lowered or eliminated.

        Well ackshually…

        Here in Australia our servos (seppo: gas stations) sell this little plastic flags that clip on to your window or door frame. Dickheads can easily self identify by attaching two of these to their fucktard conveyance machine.

        I’m sorry to tell you that toxic patriotism technologies have progressed beyond flags in the backs of pickup trucks.

          I don’t mean to be all nationalistic, but I’m not talking about little clipped-on plastic flags. I’m talking full-on, massive Old Glories.

    that’s a weird metric to look at because drug approval happens only like, 5-15 years after end of preclinical research, sometimes longer

    clinical trials also take fuckton of money but this might be also post-2008 cuts that we only see effects of now

      RFK Jr would like to remove scientific scrutiny from the drug approval process, which is the agenda of pharma companies. He’s already been successful with this in the med device space using the same argument.

      It is indeed not the current administration that led to this.
      It certainly won’t help but that is not the cause, neither is the 2008 one.
      China has been advancing in plenty fields for a few decades now.
      They have already caught up or surpassed others in plenty fields.
      Americans are clinging to their USA nr 1 mantra, but that’s delusional.
      They refuse to accept to the fact they already have been beaten and there is nothing they can do about it.
      Despite banning and sanctions China has a massive lead in nearly all crucial tech fields.
      The gap will only become bigger.

        The funniest thing is that all the while China is the largest creditor of USA by far, and USA has had foreign investment pouring in overall all those decades.

        USA had the money not just to maintain but rapidly advance, and a head start. To bite the dust in this situation is some serious incompetence.

          It wouldn’t be this bad but they would’ve lost either way.
          China has 4x the population.
          They can spend more money from their healthy economy while the US is declining.
