Some health experts say Kennedy, even in an informal role, could potentially lead to real consequences for patients, drugmakers and the nation's public health.
First, I think vaccine acceleration policies (of Trump, btw) helped with elimination of covid and eventual reopening of economy, even as Trump tried to make covid worse in blue cities for political attack purposes.
That vaccines can have side effects that the FDA assists in covering up is still a meaningful issue. That Pharma captures the FDA to enhance their oligarchy/profits is an issue that demands a skeptic of Pharma to be in the oversight role. Republicans having an oligarch constraining force is an upside down proposition. This is by far the only such force in a GOP administration, and may get nixed by Republican congress.
Nah, this won’t get nixed. Almost all of the Trump-opponent Senators and Reps are gone or have flipped. The GOP has effective carte blanche to do whatever they wish, and a stacked deck of Supreme Court justices who, now that their jobs are safe from impeachment, will pretty happily rubber stamp anything. Even if they don’t, Trump can simply do it via EO, due to the immunity ruling.
