It's going to be an absolute shitshow. If worm brain and felon fuckrat eviscerate the FDA, I don't even know vaccines would continue to exist in the US. Certainly, pharmaceuticals have a vested interest in continuing to produce them. Best case, they defer to regulatory standards from other nations and the FDA becomes a rubber stamp agency. Worst case, they're allowed to peddle dangerous products without proper trialing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* The biotech industry is already extremely nervous: https://www.axios.com/2024/11/15/rfk-jr-uncertainty-biotech-startups They don't like this at all, with the hope being RFK just focuses on other stuff.
