What I saw of it was a complete shlt show and RK has some out there ideas so I do not agree with him on everything ...BUT
1 The CDC should not be beholden to pharma companies. The top of the CDC is way too cozy with companies whose products the CDC is supposed to be giving us guidance on.
2 Anyone who was involved with allowing the teachers' union a seat at the table when formulating CDC COVID guidelines needs to be shown the door. The CDC is designed to give guidance based on scientific evidence not political science.
3 Anyone at the CDC, NHS or any other federal department dealing with science who uses the term "birthing person" needs to never be allowed to do anything more scientific than mix chemicals for TrueGreen.
4 The CDC completely screwed the pooch during the COVID fiasco. They need to clean house and start afresh if they ever wish to recapture the trust of the American people.
5 RK has done awesome things with food additives already.
6 RK has some questionable ideas when it comes to vaccines. BUT i would rather the group in charge of ensuring vaccine safety is too quick to question rather than too quick to take the word of pharma.
7 DC committee hearings are a clusterf*ck. Everyone is grandstanding, trying to get in a quip that will go viral. The ones who were hammering RK the hardest were the ones who also cashed the largest checks from pharma.
8 If that many Dems hate RK then he must be on the right track and has my support.
