FDA will cave. In a war between the current administration and Big Pharma, the latter has too much money.
I do hope I'm wrong though, and they kneecap Big Pharma, which leads to way cheaper meds in general.
Kneecapping Big Pharma would be fine if the government were planning to invest in public science mRNA vaccine research. But if they cut off the market for privately developed vaccines, and thus the motive for pharma companies to develop them, and in place only put RFK's blood letting and leeches (at premium prices), that's not such a good thing.
Meanwhile insulin is more expensive than it ever has been in the history of it's existence. While Dumbass Trump and Dipshit Kennedy along with their Republican backup singers are doing exactly dick about it.
I honestly think they subscribe to a fascist belief that people who get sick are weak and should die to purify the gene pool. Unless it's them, in which case they should receive the best care money can buy. And the fact that they can afford it shows that they are strong and successful and have the bestest genes of all.
