Read the draft. Overall, it's a decent take on the situation. Yes, they have included anti-vax and other stupid ideas, which should be ignored for the majority, but the overall take is still accurate enough to execute and provide a benefit. It seems as if they are putting out a strategy and have been forced to include the duck. Just get rid of the duck and it's good.

- happytoexplain 1y agoAre you just using the metaphor loosely, or are you actually suggesting that they explicitly do not believe in the duck and are counting on others to ask for it to be removed to reduce scrutiny on the parts they do believe in?

- ryandv 1y agoYou can peruse my comment history and witness all the progressives who attempted to refute conservative viewpoints and failed.
- ryandvm 1y agoUh.. I read some of you comments, and frankly, I'm not excited about the prospect of our usernames being mistaken.

- ryandv 1y agoI doubt there will be risk of confusion.
- buttercraft 1y agoI, for one, will remember the "m" at the end of your username and not associate you with the hate-filled, sociopathic screeds of the other poster. Probably not much consolation, but, hey...good luck
- goyagoji 1y agoEveryone who disagrees with you is a progressive? 97% of the world population has no reason to share views with an American conservative even if their minds are similarly polluted with other nationalist and religious smut.
- 1970-01-01 1y agoI'm using it tightly and rightly. Keep the bits about clean water, clean air, microplastic pollution, screentime, drug commercials, etc. Have your doctor selectively ignore the anti-vax and non-ionizing EM radiation ducks.
- happytoexplain 1y agoThis is bold - you think RFK Jr. doesn't believe in what he's saying? That it's some kind of show?

- wasabi991011 1y agoI'd say it's more of a mixed bag. There's some good (microbiome research, cracking down on influencers advertising drugs), some bad (anti-fluoride, autism scare, vaccine scare, EM radiation scare), some I can't evaluate (usefulness of non-animal models, usefulness of AI in cancer research and in diagnostic medicine), and some that depend heavily on implementation (prescription impact on mental health, building a general data platform, changing nutrition labelling). It's certainly doesn't seem like a dismantling of the agency nor an attempt at corruption. However, RFK Jr. and the rest of this administration has a lot of baggage, I heavily disagree with the idea that the bad ideas here are just a distraction duck.
- goyagoji 1y agoTheir mixing their scams into everything is worse than if they stuck entirely to their scams. No one will believe future research in an area they bring up hasn't been tainted by their reality distortion field. China will have more credible medicine than the US since the Chinese party isn't that interested in pushing a lot of quack theories to the math and science illiterate as a way to gain and maintain political power.
- wasabi991011 1y agoGreat point. But re. China, is that entirely true? I was under the impression that traditional Chinese medicine (which we westerners usually consider quack) is very much integrated into medical practice in China, although I don't know if that extends to medical research. I could be wrong though, I don't have a clear view on Chinese affairs.
