Just as RFKjr can have a great effect on health issues, so Elon Musk will be in a position to cut funding currently wasted on all forms of emission reduction efforts.
RFKJr’s book on Fauci is a great read and gives items that could take up all of Trump’s efforts. The book “Virus Mania” also gives support to using vaccines as a last resort if you can not figure out how to adjust your immunity.
Can't disagree with the thrust to fix FDA EUA processes. But, I'd suggest little of what you propose will happen until the FDA's parent Secretariat (HHS) and sister organizations such as CDC are purged and overhauled.
At the least - the revolving door between Pharma and these agencies has to stop. The literal 'funding' of all of these agencies by Pharma, Big Ag etc has to stop. Allowing government employees to receive payments on patents and essentially kickbacks, has to stop. The grants and endowments from taxpayers to corrupted research and academics has to stop.
Perhaps outside the scope of your article here but...the FDA (HHS) should have no power of mandate and no power whatsoever over State/local health authorities.
something went awry between publishing his Fauci-book, his powerful acceptance speech, then his snuggling up to orthodox rabbi Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and recently this go-and-give with California's Newsom (who seems to have rejected unelected non-medical experts' veto power over vaccine exemptions for children's vaccines deemed medically necessary; 2019) - https://www.facebook.com/rfkjr/posts/2327592907567445
excuse me for being sceptical, but this deserves a shared Nobel for hypocricy.
Thank you, thank you, John. I am very grateful to have you as a common sense, critical thinking representative for issues which affect (and should concern) all Americans. I would be curious to learn of any response you may receive. Best wishes in your endeavor.
Excellent letter! With regard to point #3 I was impressed by RFKjs's "The Real Dr. Fauci".
I am hoping that he will be offered a position in the Trump administration relating to health care. He is not blind to the mayhem caused by excessive vaccination programs.
David: Real Science has not been taken over by anyone. Real Science is a process, so no one owns it. What they are trying to do is to substitute political science for Real Science — and hope that confuses citizens. Don't be fooled!
Well, I get the impression that most mainstream scientists are blinkered by funding and peer pressure and free thought seems to have gone out of the window.
David: Regretfully a large number of scientists have lost their bearings. However, even if 100% of scientists act in an unscientific manner, that has zero reflection on Science itself.
A parallel sittuation is with US politicians. No matter how many act incompetently or in self-serving ways, none of that changes the Constitution or other founding documents and principles of America.
Robert: In this day-and-age, many policy decisions are traceable to activists in their 20's, still wet behing their ears. They have few real-life experiences and care even less about the adverse impacts of their virtue-signaling advocacies (e.g., industrial wind energy).
Isn’t it interesting that Political Science has been a major at the university level for many years? I majored in History, which needs to respond to the crisis by forming a dual major with Chemistry and Biology IMO.
Jeff: IMO the title "Political Science" is the beginning of the deception. There is no such Science as Political Science. It should be called "Politics."
Jeff: Yes there is a sophisticated coalition trying to pull off this scam. All I can say is that making it part of any curriculum does not make it real.
Long before Christianity you can find Sanscrit writings that say "God is Truth". When "Science" becomes the servant of politics it no longer serves "Truth".
GC: Real Science is independent of politics. However, the confusion many people have is that they do not distinguish between Science and scientists. There are good and bad scientists just like in any profession. Many scientists have political agendas — usually hidden. Just because a study or report is done by credentialed scientist, does NOT mean that it is a scientific study or report.
eventually "Science" developed in tandem with the requirements of the Industrial Revolution (mid-18th century). before that there were.... alchemists. and map-makers. and many other expert craftsmen. now it's clear how corrupted it is, having to play yes-man to grants and sponsors.
My degree is an M.A. in "Natural Science" from Pembroke College, Cambridge. To get my degree I had to study Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Metallurgy.
The disciplines that are part of the "Natural Sciences Tripos" at Oxford or Cambridge can be traced back many centuries before the Industrial Revolution.
Like you I am concerned that much of today's "Science" has been corrupted politicians. In 1961 Dwight Eisenhower warned us about the Military-Industrial complex:
Since then it has got much worse. Now we have "Big Pharma" killing millions of people with dangerous and ineffective COVID vaccines but you can't use "Product Liability" laws to sue them since "Vaccines" are protected.
Now you have the UN globalists pushing the "Mitigation of Carbon". They tell us that trillions of dollars must be invested to reduce CO2 emissions. Globalists including people in the US EPA claim that CO2 is a "POLLUTANT". In reality CO2 is the "GAS OF LIFE".
Rising levels of CO2 have helped to increase crop yields dramatically over the last 40 years:
Mary-Lou: That may be what it seems to the public, but that is not so. Just because a study is published by a group of scientists, does not mean that it is scientific. Thousands of such "scientific" appearing studies have been proven to be fraudulent, etc. Science and scientists are two VERY different things.
Just as RFKjr can have a great effect on health issues, so Elon Musk will be in a position to cut funding currently wasted on all forms of emission reduction efforts.
RFKJr’s book on Fauci is a great read and gives items that could take up all of Trump’s efforts. The book “Virus Mania” also gives support to using vaccines as a last resort if you can not figure out how to adjust your immunity.
Hope he can guide the country to real food.

Owain: Yes several things need to be done, but Trump seems to have given RFKjr the direction to do what is needed.

Kathleen: TY for your support. If I get a meaningful reply, I will share it with my Substack subscribers
John,
Excellent letter! With regard to point #3 I was impressed by RFKjs's "The Real Dr. Fauci".
I am hoping that he will be offered a position in the Trump administration relating to health care. He is not blind to the mayhem caused by excessive vaccination programs.
Are you expecting a reply from RFKjr?
Peter
Peter: I have had successful communications with RFKjr in the past. It's hard to say what will happen now that he has a lot more on his plate...
I think science has been completely taken over by politics and folk myth, and the media love it.
David: Real Science has not been taken over by anyone. Real Science is a process, so no one owns it. What they are trying to do is to substitute political science for Real Science — and hope that confuses citizens. Don't be fooled!

I don't think we are at odds on this.
Governments do everything wrong they can do wrong and are then surprised when they lose the election.
Robert: In this day-and-age, many policy decisions are traceable to activists in their 20's, still wet behing their ears. They have few real-life experiences and care even less about the adverse impacts of their virtue-signaling advocacies (e.g., industrial wind energy).

Perhaps. But it’s now part of the educational curriculum, especially for aspiring attorneys.
Jeff: Yes there is a sophisticated coalition trying to pull off this scam. All I can say is that making it part of any curriculum does not make it real.
Any discipline that has the word "Science" in its title is something other than science.

Duke University used its forest to demonstrate the positive effect that enhanced CO2 levels have on tree growth (the FACE experiment).
Mary-Lou: Science is not corrupt one iota. You are failing to distinguish between scientists and Science. They are hugely different.
once they write up their articles and publish their studies in distinguished journals, it has become part of The Science, sorry to say.
Mary-Lou: That may be what it seems to the public, but that is not so. Just because a study is published by a group of scientists, does not mean that it is scientific.
