Given the erratic decisions of the Food and Drug Administration, do you think the people who lead it might view it more as a buffet and less of a regulatory agency?

Still better for the world if Felonious 47 gets imprisoned for life sooner rather than later. Racist misogynist philanderer Vance doesn’t have a cult of idiots following him.
This just may be the moment we have all been hoping for … but remember … if this ends his presidency … the Peter Thiel owned backwoods hillbilly will be sworn in. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

I’ve been shouting that KPM (Kennedy Prasad and Makary) are the greatest threat to health and life to Americans and visitors to the US that we have currently. Even more so than Felonious 47. Every day they prove me right…
RFK Jr., Bhattacharya, Prasad, Makary et al. are constantly claiming that everything they do is to “restore trust” in public health.

At what point do you think they should have to show some progress?

The fact is that trust in public health has plummeted since these fools took office.

Rather than turn former Honduran President Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison just four years into a 45-year sentence for allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.
Amid Mass ICE Arrests, Trump Pardon Recipient Juan Orlando Hernández Given Special Treatment
After the former Honduran president was pardoned, ICE dropped its detainer on him, and he was whisked away to a luxury hotel in New York City.

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!

I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.

Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

I was a Moderna exec when the Covid vaccine rolled out. That spirit of possibility is no more - STAT. KPM (Kennedy Prasad Makary) are the most immediate threat to the health of all populations in America, citizen or no. This story demonstrates some of the ways in which they are harming us all.

Or about massive corruption by FIFA leadership and their support of a convicted felon who is also a child-rapust and sexual predator misogynist racist homophobe, perhaps?
Apparently people aren't excited about spending $56,000 per ticket to attend a World Cup game.

Hmmm, what else could be contributing to a lack of hype?
