TIL the head of the FDA has the inability to take half a second and google the word diabetes.
No! Stop acting like they're all stupid, that's what they want you to think.
He was a pancreatic surgeon at Johns Hopkins. It's literally impossible for him to not be familiar with diabetes unless he has experienced serve memory loss recently.
He's pushing eugenics and wanting to kill off people with chronic illnesses
This. It's literally just suggesting "well how about we just let them die", AKA murder. The HHS especially is now just being filled with eugenicists who are, in general, too chickenshit to just come out and say "well we should kill all of them".
Chickenshit? Or just shrewd?
Aka murder, and not some other type of anything. It's just murder.
Well, I was joking but you make fantastic points and I agree with you.
I'm glad you agree, but the problem is that making jokes of their willful evil is literally helping them. It's making light of a situation and implying ignorance in their actions. When in reality they are knowingly trying to kill people,
It's always wild to me when I see people with long, often illustrious careers in things like law or medicine, only to pull something like this that is completely antithetical to everything they've ever studied or worked toward, and shit all over their legacy.
Like why the fuck were you a surgeon in the first place? If you had these views, why would you go into a career that focuses on helping to keep chronically ill people alive? What is going on in these people's heads?
Same shit with people like Alito and Thomas. You spent your entire life studying and upholding the US Constitution, and then you get appointed to the highest court in the nation, and decide "yeah fuck that thing, let's have a dictator"?
It's mind boggling. I would really like to just have some insight into what is happening in these peoples' minds...
Its actually kinda interesting how long they have been taking the "poor and disabled will just kill themselves off" approach. In 2012 Romney was also campaigning on repealing Medicaid and Medicare.
He literally said "people don't die from a lack of insurance" happy to ignore any chronic diseases and blame the individual.
He even had proposed less funding for ambulances and more for services to collect bodies cause he even expected more people to die. We are still there with this party but even more racist and victim blaming while being more aggressive in who the other is while demanding more children to keep capitalism going up... Bunch of the worst people who just want whatever they want and never reality.
Time to go all Wilford Brimley on his ass.
