Dear MAGA, friends & family.
RFK Jr. wants to immediately stop the development of new drugs for cancer, Alzheimers & other illnesses for eight years.
Hope your family stays healthy.
Is this what you signed up for when you voted?
The best case scenario is that US drug companies fall behind on research and development of drugs that we need to cure illness and we end up being dependent upon overseas developers.
My wife had cancer a decade ago, she was cured with surgery, chem and radiation, not out of date procedures and medications.

If I do mention it, are you going to claim that Trump's gun grab did not happen, that we had it coming to us? That no one should be allowed to own those kinds of guns, or some other typical Democrat anti-gun talking point?
Why does Trump's nearly complete disregard for our civil rights not seem to bother you at all?
You still don't get it. Light years better than HarrisBiden. I'll say it again. One of them was going to win, no matter what you wanted. Trump was the clear choice. Do I agree with him on everything? I've never agreed with ANYONE on everything. Pie in the sky doesn't exist.
Specifically what rights? I have guns and no one's trying to take them away. I can even legally have a cannon if I want one. I can't have a bazooka, RPGs or nuclear bombs, but people really shouldn't have things like that.
Who did you vote for? If you say you didn't vote, guess what? Trump got your vote.

Specifically our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights. Trump is a gun grabber just like Biden and Bush. All three used the power of the executive branch to initiate their gun grabs without any bill passed by Congress.
Is claiming that we are not allowed to own a bazooka, RPG or other weapons like those, how you claim to not really know anything about the Constitution or our rights? There are no federal laws that prohibit the ownership of bazookas or RPG's by unlicensed civilians.
Your stupid claim that "people really shouldn't have things like that" is typical democrat anti-gun rhetoric. That is typical of the MAGA who support Trump's anti-gun agenda. Back in 2018 I was shocked to see how thoroughly the MAGA embraced democrat anti-gun ideals, but it is no surprise anymore, at all.
Your willful ignorance of our civil rights is not some badge of honor; it shouldn't be anyway. But RINO's like you seem to think it is and attack anyone who actually cares about their civil rights.
Again! Why do you think acting like you don't know a damn thing about gun control law, does not make you look like an idiot?
It is obvious to the most casual observer that you lack the intelligence to make an informed decision on any ballot. Why go to such great lengths on a public forum to prove how simple you are?
I voted for the libertarian candidate for president. WA is very blue, with 58% of votes going to Harris.
The Labor Department's now-scuttled rule would have marked the biggest increase to that cap in decades. Employers were required pay overtime to salaried workers who make less than $43,888 a year in certain executive, administrative and professional roles as of July 1 — and that was set to rise to $58,656 next year.
The Labor Department estimated that an additional 4 million lower-paid salary workers would become eligible for overtime protections in the first year under the new rule. An additional 292,900 higher-compensated workers were also expected to get overtime entitlements through separate threshold increases.
But yeah, Trump is working to ensure Americans are still underpaid.

Trump's government had a gun grab in 2018, Trump called for gun confiscation without due process and wants to raise the age to buy firearms. Yes, Trump is so very much that dumb.
You’re spreading fear and conspiracy theories. You need to be feeling love and joy like Kamala told you to. seek help for your TDS and go find a safe space you loser.
You are spreading conspiracy theories and you are undermining democracy. What happened to “love” and “joy”? Or is it you people didn’t actually mean it?
What would you think about a dentist who wanted to stop all advances in dentistry in the USA and had the authority to make it happen? That is what Kennedy wants to do with certain medical care. There is something very wrong with that.
We're going to give drug development and infectious disease a break, a break, a little break, a little bit of a break, for about eight years. And we're going to study chronic disease.
That is what he said. Was the video a hoax?

Do you follow the side effects of various popular drugs over the years?
I work in psychology and many psych meds correlate to the development of dementia later in the life of the user.
ADHD stimulant meds can stunt the growth of children because they cause the child to burn through calories that would help them grow. That's called medication induced anorexia.
Years ago there was a fat-loss drug called Fenfen that caused heart mutations and killed people.
The list goes on.
Since drugs are a business and not a public health product companies are quick to market things and if there are horrible or long term side effects, you can't entirely prove it, so there's little liability.
So, there's logic to what he says. It doesn't mean you have to agree with it but it's not the hysterical proposition you are making it out to be.
We did not get effective medications by stopping drug development for eight years. Which words do you claim I am not understanding?
Here are those words again. It should be simple for you to identify the ones you claim I do not understand.

What drugs are you talking about? RFK is not being specific at all. He wants "to give (all?) drug development" a break. You have yet to explain that and why it is a good idea.
If he is not going to explain why he holds that position, then it is indefensible to say the least.
