Surpression of sunshine must end? Does that mean he wants to ban sun blockers?
im okay with ending the war on psychedelics though.
not for everyone but also not worth hunting and jailing people for.
fuck off with all the pseudoscientific garbage.
Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu. Or Trumps.
Ok, but have you had raw milk Camembert? That’s probably the one thing from the list where you guys should be more lax.
In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu
There’s also the fact that they take steps to hinder bad bacteria. While nurturing the good bacteria that makes their cheese. It’s not like they just throw raw milk into a vat and pull out cheese.
“ivermectin”
aka, the horse paste Trump pushed on us during the covid outbreak.
The god damn FDA and its war on…
…checks notes…
Sunshine and Exercise!
Raw milk and no vaccines. Get ready for the great Bird Flu epidemic.
Apparently now conservatism is just constantly relitigating every minor perceived slight.
For the most part, liberals have moved past the fact that these assholes held the country hostage and killed a million people throwing their tantrum.
Meanwhile, conservatives are like “we haven’t forgotten that you made fun of us for the horse dewormer thing.”
Yeah. They were pretty adamant lefties were easily triggered a few years ago
Now they believe lefties are destroying the environment, and are having a temper tantrum over a lie as stupid as people eating pets told by a guy who lies about everything
That’s okay I’m going to be eating popcorn in Chicago well Florida gets drowned by climate change. And I seriously can’t wait for that day.
In all likelihood you will be too busy with the flooding, the heatwave, or the tornados.
People forget climate change is going to affect nearly every corner of society. There will be very little safe haven and overcrowding in those spared the most.
The region of Tennessee and North Carolina that was devastated by Helene was considered one of the climate safe havens.
Disinformation coming out of the FDA is a real issue though, it’s just that RFK isn’t exactly the person we should want trying to fix it. His list covers the entire spread from significant real issues to batshit crazy conspiracy theory, leaning heavily towards the latter.
It’s notable that the areas in most need of reform were all broken by conservative politicians.
Start growing your own food, boil rain water for clean water, and avoid close contact with others for the next four years then? Can’t wait to hear about all the cases of preventable diseases, contaminated foods, and new, deadly viruses we get introduced to once these clowns take over…
If they break that infrastructure the long term impact won’t be immediately evident, which means the impetus to fix it will match that of climate change.
And last way longer than 4 yrs. Took Biden 3 yrs to fix Trumps fucked up economy.
When the government is out to kill the citizens, they are no longer citizens but subjects.
It sure would be nice if one side of the political aisle hadn’t convinced its voters to disarm themselves while the other side stockpiled guns.
Finally we can find out how the FDA hid the sun
Actually, the brain worm never died, it is sentient, and this is part of the RFK worm’s long term goal to infect the nation via destruction of the FDA. The rest is there simply as distraction.

Intergalactic ants.
fucking morons are going to kill us all with raw stupidity
Don’t give me hope RFK. Like you’re really gonna legalize psychedelics for therapy.
No, he won’t. Or he might, ostensibly, but they will never be propery researched and they will never be properly regulated, so you won’t really know what you’re getting or how it should be administered, so good luck with that.
The only thing you can reliably count on with the incoming administration is that whatever they are doing, they are doing to make themselves and their friends wealthier, at the expense of the rest of the public. Unfortunately, that doesn’t only mean finacial expense.
It would suck for the rubes who can be fooled into taking poison, but it would be kinda based if RFK just legalized everything. Reality might turn to shit, but at least we can get high however we want!
Being able to grow mushrooms legally would be fucking sick and would make the next four years a bit less shitty.
I wonder how hard it will be to tell the good stuff from the poison. Depending on just how unregulated they go, labels might not even match contents.
Probably easier than now considering the decrease in stigma and increased impetus for testing as well as elimination of the black market.
I doubt that. Erasing stigma is an important step in researching these drugs. Reclassification so that they are accessable for research is another. However, proper regulation is required so that you know what you’re getting and in the right dosage. The incoming administration want more deregulation. That will mean that quality of supply will be less reliable.
We are still dealing with increaing outbreaks of foodborne illness because of deregulation from the last Trump government. And this affects more than just Americans. I’m in Canada, but because we import food from the US, we are also exposed to these illnesses. My immunocompromised sister had a bout of listeria from food that she should have been able to trust. (I can’t remember which food at the moment). I still have granola bars in my home that I haven’t disposed of yet which were part of a separate recall.
Proper regulation works quietly for the average person. When it’s working correctly, you don’t notice the myriad of ways that you’re kept safe every day. It’s when it fails that we notice.
Illegal drugs are already a black market and that’s the context of this reply thread. Feel free to reread it if need be. Nowhere did I say that I agree with RFK’s approach broadly as you seem to imply. The comment I made was clearly about illegal drugs, responding to a reply thread about legalization of illegal (recreational) drugs.
And my comment is that, with deregulation, you probably won’t be sure about the content, quality, or dosage of legal drugs. If it were properly regulated, you’d be safe.
Also, nowhere did I imply that you agree with his approach. You asked a question and I answered it. I don’t have any opinion about your opinion about him. I gave you my opinion about him, the incoming administration, and the upcoming fallout.
Please go find where I asked a question.
I’m not even talking about the fun drugs, but things like a bottle of vitamin supplements, over the counter, or prescription medication. Sure, you can test a batch, but will that mean testing one pill out of each bottle? Or could consistency drop enough that one pill might not say much about the others in the bottle?
Will testing resources get stretched to the point where many won’t be able to afford them if we’ll need to test each bottle of pills we buy to make sure the producer didn’t just stick a nice label on lead pills to make a quick buck and disappear in the night before the fallout?
That was the context of this conversation though. The original comment was about legalizing/decriminalization of psychs, and the reply that you originally responded to was about legalizing (one would assume based on the subject matter) other recreational drugs.
That’s fair and to be clear, I wasn’t intending to contradict what you were saying but to clarify the scope of my comment was intended to be “anything in a package with a label where you trust that the contents match the label”.
Can’t wait for the war on sunshine to end!
The solar panels are sucking all the energy from the sun and not allowing anyone else to use it.

Big Sun will get its day in the … eh sun.
He’s going to ban sunscreen isn’t he
Damn that FDA and their suppression of…*checks list…sunshine?
Was the solar eclipse an inside job?!?
I think it’s like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.
It’s Vitamin D. There was this whole thing during the COVID pandemic about how the FDA/CDC were SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET about how impactful Vitamin D levels were on COVID outcomes or something and how that’s how you know that… something something sinister ulterior motives.
So like the idea was that everybody going outside and getting some sun was actually the best thing for public health, but THEY were telling you to languish inside under lockdowns, because clearly they didn’t want you to be healthy.
It’s funny because I remember specific provisions for allowing people to go outside for exercise lmao
Yeah, I know it’s Vitamin D you get from the sun, but for instance exposing yourself to sun that requires sun lotion, you’re still getting all the vitamin D you can use.
Idk this might be a bullshit stat, but here in Finland you here all sorts of things about vitamin D and sunshine, so iirc, I think like 15 minutes in the sun already gives you your daily dose of vitamin D.
So it’s not exactly a good reason to lift the lockdown when people can just go out to walk their dog and have all the benefits that one can get from the sun. It’s not like sun worshipping yourself until you look like a two-day old hotdog is anything healthy. The sort of tanning RFK JR seems to have practiced. I had a friend (woman) who just loved suntanning. Like crazy much. And smokes. She wasn’t too bad looking when I worked with her, but god she’s gonna look like wrinkled leather in 10 years.
Just to chime in, vitamin D deficiency is extremely common:
Recent large observational data have suggested that ~40% of Europeans are vitamin D deficient, and 13% are severely deficient [2]
Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to dementia and other bice diseases. I bet 15 minutes sunlight won’t cut it and sunbathing gives you skin cancer in the long run, so get some supplements people!
Yeah, it is. And even moreso here in the Nordics.
I take a vitamin D supplement every day. Especially in the winter.
I quickly googled and a Finnish article says that during summertime, wearing just shorts, you can get your daily amount half an hour. But that’s midsummer sun and midday.
But in countries where it’s more intense…
Anyway, supplementation is definitely necessary for most people, especially during winter.
Swedish here, but I live in France.
Modern day people are often stuck inside (of the car, house, office) during daylight times.
Also, when you get a sunburn in 20 minutes you avoid the sun when you are outside…
So yeah, supplements FTW!
It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.
There was a finding a few years ago that while preventing skin cancer, sunscreen was also causing people in some places to get less vitamin d which was increasing instances of colon cancer. The solution isn’t banning sunscreen, it’s making sure people get some small amount of sun or supplements vitamin d.
Being from Oz I never really considered issues with vitamin d until I moved to the UK for a few years and discovered that limited vitamin d is a real problem in winter. Im not sure on the deficiency you need for colon cancer but a few weeks of little to no Sun really messes with your head and body.
Being from Oz
Did the Wicked movie get the look right? It seems like a fun place apart from all the fascism.
The book did it better =)
To be fair, non-mineral sunscreens do fuck with your hormones a bit. Still better then skin cancer though.
“There are a lot of ingredients in cosmetics, hair care and sunscreen that can act as endocrine mimickers in a lab, meaning they kind of act like a hormone,” Waldman explains.
But He stresses that, when it comes to chemical sunscreen ingredients, the potential link largely comes from animal studies that likely don’t translate to humans. For instance, in many studies, researchers are feeding large amounts of these ingredients to mice, He explains, which is “not really comparable to a human situation.”EDIT: So no, no they don’t in humans.
It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people.
I mean, it halfway is:
-
“Sunscreen” – stuff with a decently high SPF rating – is a good thing that prevents cancer.
-
“Suntan lotion” – usually glorified coconut oil with fuck-all SPF rating – is a bad thing that harms people.
-
“Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people by conflating good things with harmful ones.
“Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people
So confidently stated yet so very wrong. Citation - an example that’s available nationwide: https://no-ad.com/product/spf-85-sunscreen-lotion-3-oz/
‘Lotion’ implies that it’s moisturiser-based, not that it has any tanning properties.
