Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
She has no expertise
That's a prerequisite for this administration
The US FDA has lost almost all the high level people who had the expertise, experience and institutional knowledge that made it effective a respected.
Now, they have podcasters and sports medicine people in charge. It would be almost comical if it didn’t certainly mean unnecessary deaths.
We didn't "lose" them
We chased them out
Why do we allow single individuals to levy so much power in our regulatory bodies? Science doesn't change very drastically on a 4 year basis, there's absolutely no reason that a handful of dipshits should be able to rewrite this much public health policy.
Because when a lot of these departments were established it was advancing rapidly or were otherwise required to be able to rapidly move to counter rapidly evolving tech and economic systems. Problem is that stopped being true outside of specific tech fields about 40-50 years ago.
Also the individual is usually just chairing a board of experts and simply coordinating their work... not micromanaging the conclusions
That's how it was when the administration was staffed with people who understood basic science
At this point I would take marginal competence, forget expertise.
Modern medicine in America will soon be available only for the very rich. The rest of us will be expected to get by on bible woo and horse dewormer.
And people will wonder why there a rise in [insert any building]-shootings.
I love the idea of modeling our system on Denmark’s. Let’s start with their Universal fucking Healthcare!
Increasing morbidity and mortality IS the plan apparently. Can't wait for The Comeuppance!
Finally magnetic foot insoles will get FDA approval.
