#Trump layoffs begin to erode #FDA drug review system

The Trump admin's #MassFirings at the FDA have removed employees critical to reviewing new #medicines, setting back years of effort to bring promising #treatments to #patients more quickly.

The FDA is slated to lose 3,500 employees under Secy of #HHS #RFKJr's massive *restructuring* of US #health agencies….

(The only exceptions are nieche cases and statistically nonexistent!)

  • #EU #FoodSafety standards ban so many #addivites and #treatments becaise they make food evidently unhealthy and worse (i.e. washing eggs, artificial food colouring and aroma)...

Given #Protectionism like the #ChickenTax #Tarriffs on actually reasonably sized #MiniTrucks the #US has no right to complain.

  • If they actually made good cars, people would actually want to buy them.

Sadly, the last good car from the USA (that isn't a road-legal Dragstrip Suicide Machine or 4x4 Solid Axle Outdoor Toy) was the #Ford #CVPI / #P71 & #P72a models that got axed in 2012.

Imagine a #life where if you are not in motion, or doing something that you enjoy, that you are physically, and #mentally in pain to a point where you cannot tolerate it.

#Focus is impossible.

The only solution is to be in motion again, and find something to enjoy so that you can have some #peace.

Or to take/do #treatments that help, but don't take it all away. Harder #drugs that do, but destroy you slowly, or just kill you.

I don't need to imagine.

“[A dozen software engineers, developers and academic researchers] said some of the invented text — known in the industry as hallucinations — can include racial commentary, violent rhetoric and even imagined medical treatments.”

How long before this happens in the #UK? When I was a kid we had #school #dentists. They terrified the life out of us but there were #NHS options to ensure no #child had to be left with #rotting #teeth in their #mouth . #Adults & #children in the #UK do not have adequate access to #dentalcare. The #dentists can't afford #free at the point of #care #treatments because the #Government doesn't reimburse adequaltely (understatement). Thus #dentists go #private.
