don't say anything bad about the guy in charge of national healthcare that doesn't think sick kids count as people worth helping. might turn some of his supporters off and they'll start voting for something even worse to teach you a lesson.

RFK Jr and gang will have access to fake abortion pill data.
Now, Trump’s new FDA commissioner, Marty Makary, is under pressure to restrict access to the drug. Pressed by reporters at the Semafor World Economy Summit late last month, Makaray said that he had “no plans” to review the status of mifepristone. But he added a crucial caveat: that he would reconsider the drug’s accessibility if new information emerged about the drug’s safety. “If the data suggests something or tells us that there’s a real signal, we can’t promise that we’re not going to act on that data,” he said.

Conservatives are trumpeting a new abortion-pill study. One problem: it’s bogus | Moira Donegan

The FDA chief suggested he wouldn’t crack down on mifepristone without new data. Conveniently, misleading research emerged within days

In msg #1479 I quoted portions of an interview with the head of NIH. Much of David Gorski's latest essay at Science Based Medicine covers this interview, but I wanted to focus on one paragraph: "Canceling grants supporting clinical trials is particularly wasteful, because not only does it prevent funded trials from accruing new patients, but it makes it impossible to follow and collect data on the patients already in the trial. Basically, much, if not all, of the data already collected is wasted because the trial, unless near the end of accrual, will not have enough patients to produce a statistically significant result." A couple of months ago David Weinberg wrote a compelling essay at SBM on the cancellation of USAIDs clinical trials.
 
Associated Press brought together some of Surgeon General-nominee Casey Means' quotes. "People started to really see that maybe we shouldn't be, like, trusting the experts blindly," she said. "Maybe there is such deep, like, corporate capture of industry and honestly corruption of our medical data and information that like, we have to kind of question everything." These are similar to RFK Jr.'s thoughts.

Like wow! Like does that mean we can wonder if Casey Means is like, stupid and incompetent? Like maybe?
 
More from the AP article: "“When you go to the science with a root cause perspective, you go back to PubMed with a slightly different perspective, not how do I treat these diseases once they emerge, but why are they happening, you see a very obvious blaring answer,” she told podcaster Joe Rogan on his show last October in a discussion about public health. “It’s all caused by metabolic dysfunction, a term that I never learned in medical school.”
And:
"Means attributes a wide range of chronic diseases to those factors. She argued on “The Megyn Kelly Show” in September that COVID-19 “was really fundamentally a metabolic disease” that more seriously affected people who were compromised because of “lifestyle-related and food-related diseases.”

I presume that the metabolic disease in the second paragraph is the same as "metabolic dysfunction" in the first paragraph, although I am not certain of it. I note that there is something called metabolic syndrome. Links at CBS News and at the Cleveland Clinic makes me believe that metabolic dysfunction is a recognized term, and one that is apparently broader than metabolic syndrome.

It's willfully ignorant vandalism. I am sure there is research out there that is not legitimate or value for money. That means review what is happening then make recommendations. Instead they have destroyed everything, no matter how worthy it is, and it can't just be continued where it left off.

I am all in favour of preventative health getting more funding but they are putting up a false dichotomy.

Metabolic dysfunction and metabolic syndrome are on a spectrum, dysfunction precedes syndrome. The concept has been around for a long time, that she didn't pay attention at medical school is not a surprise.

Every time there have been attempts to be pro-active with preventative health measures by the Democrats they have been crucified for interfering in people's lives.

I can recall the attempt to limit the serving size of junk food like high sugar soft drinks.

The difference here is that RFK Jnr and his crew won't take any steps to improve the health of the US population, they will simply remove access to conventional (i.e. demonstrably effective) treatments and then blame people for getting sick.

So they won't legislate to reduce serving sizes or sugar levels (low sugar drinks in the UK are cheaper because the tax is lower so now there are comparatively few full sugar drinks as manufacturers have moved to producing low and no sugar versions) but they will restrict access to diabetes treatments (especially for the poor and ethnic minorities) and blame them for not living more healthy lifestyles.

Shoot these people in the foot, then stop them going to hospital. Tell them to "eat more healthy" to get over their injuries instead.

Yup, that's pretty much it.

The key to all of this is that if you get sick or injured then it's all your fault for not having a healthy enough lifestyle and/or good enough genes.
