I think the figure was that there are 70 big pharma lobbyists in Washington for every congressman.
By far one of the biggest funders.
Big food is not far behind.
Coca cola taking legal action to ensure billions of dollars of food stamps for the poor could be spent on coca cola but not on steaks ( too expensive).
Big food makes 70 % fat
And big pharma had the average American adult on 5 , yes 5 medications for life for cholesterol hypertension diabetes.
Even in Australia, the cholesterol drug lipitor costs the taxpayer over a billion a year in subsidies.
As the drug companies wine and dine doctors to prescribe it.
And yes it is linked to dementia.
Your brain is pretty fatty.
Could you have a good cholesterol by eating maybe fruit and vegetable
Oh but they don't taste as good as fries and donuts.
RFK. is absolutely right to go after big pharma and big food.
Will he succeed
Not a chance in hell
Your average chode doesn't want to eat well and exercise.
He wants a f..ing pill for everything because he is a lazy dickhead
I see you've neglected to comment on the science of early circumcision causing autism in your rather expansive post here, dear.
How peculiar.
Given the early circumcision rate in Australia is down to around 10%, you'd assume we'd a have far lower autism rate than a country with over 60%, right?
Wrong. Around one in 40 Australians had a diagnosis of autism in 2022. In the US, it's around one in 31, give or take your respective target population.
And many of those target populations include children, juvenile offenders and those with extended access to clinical, paediatric, psychological and even legal services.
Cunning, no?
In Australia, our population has extended access to clinical services through the NDIA. Here, I'd suggest the rate of diagnosis for conditions such as ASD has far more to do with our parents' ability to navigate the NDIS, wouldn't you say?
Far more than the existence of a prepuce, anyway.
So, I'd suggest this proposition makes you rather nervous. On the one hand, you'd love to blame ambulance-chasing paediatricians for giving every awkward kid a silly three-letter label. Back in your day, they were just called dorks, no?
But on the other hand, this goes against every MAGA bogeyman in the book: fluoride in the drinking water, Tylenol, any form of vaccine and now this: "early" circumcision, whatever that actually means.
Of course, no one will have time to flesh the latter question out before RFK Jnr moves onto his next crackpot theory, flooding the zone with bullsh
it, as your Superior Man likes to do.
It
could give the white supremacists, Steve Bannons and Tucker Carlsons something else to blame the Jews for - if it wasn't for the fact that 70% of them are circumcised themselves, so that idea's out the window. The Christian nationalists never did get in on the whole intactivist thing, leaving that fight to Californian lefties and soccer moms.
So, we're left with one more half-arsed thought-bubble, hence your refusal to even bother commenting on it.
You'd rather spruik Ivermectin
and get your fourth or fifth covid shot, just to be on the safe side.
Belt and braces, innit.
