Lee Zeldin at the EPA also has agreed some decisions that have reversed previous environmental policies protective of the people's rather than industry's interests.
I remember Dr. Kildare! As for Oz, it just felt like Trump was appointing one of his fellow reality show “celebs”. We’ll see what Oz does w/ his position, I guess. He’s certainly not one of the more visible appointees
Well the Fauci fiasco proves that DJT is not a good judge of character. Was he not able to see that on those replays of the Task Force on TV that Fauci was making faces behind his back? Who could not see that Fauci was a fraud. What doctor (real doctor) could possibly work for the government for 50 years?
I've said this from the get-go: These corrupt 3 and 4 letter federal bureaucracies are beyond reform. The only way to reform them is to completely shut them down! They are all either corrupt or incompetent or both. FDA and CDC are the worst of the lot.
Why in the world did the people of the people of this country ever think it would be a good idea to let bunch of unelected career bureaucrats tell us what we can and cannot buy in our local drug store? What the hell happened to America, the Land of Freedom?
Regulatory Capture - The corruption within FDA and CDC stems from corporate influence, conflicts of interest, corrupt regulatory oversight, lobbying, campaign contributions and direct relationships with agency officials.
Personnel Movement Between Regulators and Industry - Involves hundreds of employees shifting between regulators, government and industry, impacting decisions on drug approvals, pricing, policy - For example:

Makary needs to go!

I don't know what the EPA has rescinded. I worked under EPA rules for 22 years. There were many over regulated things.
I fully agree. There have always been some things about his positions that don't completely add up.
I was really dismayed when Trump appointed him, as well as Battacharria, Oz, Neshwat, et al.
I groaned when he went with Dr Oz. He’s about as real as Dr. Kildare. (Ok I’m dating myself here)

So one is out. When will the other 50,000 follow?
So now we have another Derangement Syndrome. Bwahahaha! I wonder where one fits when one hates the jab AND considers both parties corrupt.
They fit in reality vs reality inversion.
These sorts of people should have been booted on day one and already be serving out their sentences.
I’m in another country, but now people like Malone, the twins and that plastic tv doctor-keep going.
Just one of many embedded at NIH that embrace big Pharma goals!
Who recommended him to Trump initially? Was it RFK jr? Why is he leaving? Does RFK jr actually have any power?
