FDA gets "own goal" fact-checking RFK Jr
-
RFK Jr said on Tucker's show and elsewhere that the FDA gets "half or nearly half of its drug division's budget from the pharma industry".
The FDA fact-checked him and said they only get 47% of their drug division's budget from the pharma industry.
I know liberals will claim that he was wrong based on some mental gymnastics but I say he's right because 47% is nearly half.

@raphjd And it's higher % in other countries eg. MHRA.
But it would be ok if we had Free Speech.
what keeps everyone honest.Economists talk about "regulatory capture". where corporations get regulators to work for them.
Corporations often do it with booze, prostitutes, "revolving door" - regulators who play ball are rewarded a few years later with company jobs that pay well.
With FDA, MHRA etc. it's even worse: companies supply giant chunks of actual budget. Direct capture.
To make it real: Covid mess.
FDA & MHRA have pushed FAILED, crappy, but "under patent" drugs & vaxx products for covid.......... rather than cheap easy stuff that would truly help people - like losing weight, vitamin D, & letting doctors give off-label drugs.
Mess seems hopeless right? BUT - no matter how big mess gets - All you have to do is expose the bastards.
Exposure is both cure & deterrence.
"Exposure" as in, FREE SPEECH. Whistleblowers. Undercover journalists. Wild internet memes. Stolen documents "from Russsshhhia!!!!! (not)" - And so on.
So all this is super relevant.
Relevant to, Biden-Harris pressured Zuck for covid censorship & he caved - https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/65872/meta-ceo-admits-biden-harris-admin-pressured-company-to-censor-americans
Relevant to, RFKJ truth-bombs USA & joins with President Trump - https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/65856/rfk-jr-truth-bombs-usa
Censorship costs lives.
Health, law, honesty, fairness, democracy, peace - they all go with FREE SPEECH
& are why corrupt entities love Biden-Harris so much, & hate Trump-Vance-RFKJ-Tulsi.
