>> My only worry is appointing RFQ Jr. to any position related to food, health, or pharmaceuticals.

He makes a lot of good points that need to be addressed. If he can make that happen it will be a good thing.

I think Big Pharma controls far too much territory, and while I respect the good things they have done, the quest for big dollars has run beyond any reasonable bounds.

Today, we know, or strongly suspect, for example, that Ivermectin has a serious role to play in curing cancer, although we don't know precisely how to use it. We also know that sildenafil can play a protective role againstAlzheimer'. But no one wants to mess with it because there is no money in either of these solutions -- same as there was no money in Covid cures using Ivermectin or HCQ. These kinds of problems are written off as intractable, when in fact there are clear potential treatment modalities that are ignored because there is no money in them and hence, no funding for testing. At the very least government needs to take a stepped up role in making this happen.

There is something to be said for returning common sense to medical discovery and drug development.

I believe RFKJ will have the gumption to try to extract the best out of what we have to work with. This, BTW, is not a USA only problem.
