The problem is that biotech and pharma are much more directly involved in and constrained by actual science and data, which the orangeboi regime is highly allergic to.
The rich will always have access to good drugs and treatments that work. They will peddle any snake oil nonsense that they think will make them more money or whatever they think their followers will buy to make them look better in their eyes. It’s a take as old as time in politics/religion.
Back a year or so ago I remember posts on Reddit and other places where there was some deep dives into RFK JR and his investments in the supplement industry. The reason they are cheering him on is because he stands to make so much money by ditching common sense medical practices and pushing vitamins and supplements that he has a hand in.
If you want to learn more about his background Behind the Bastards did a multi part podcast on him last year (I think it was now) that was worth a listen. While it is a little outdated it does go into his childhood and really explore how he got so fucked up. Dude was (and probably still is) a serious crack head and narcissist.
Right but the rich will still have real doctors with real medicine on call (or they can just travel to a country with real medicine).
When Mao Zedong unified thousands of years of quackery and superstition into “Traditional Chinese Medicine” to placate the masses need for healthcare, he kept real doctors on hand, because he knew it was all bunk.
It’s pretty simple. If it helps the rich or his grifter friends then this administration is all for it.
If it helps the average Joe, then fuck that.
Suddenly wishing big pharma were better friends with and getting bigger handouts from the admin WHATTT is this world
If only they’d paid the piper…

There’s more money to be made selling meds to sick people than preventing people getting sick.
But even then it makes no sense! The rich aren’t immune to disease… I don’t even know who is meant to make money on this shit
You got to follow the money, sorta
