RFK Jr and the Trump administration that's enabling him is *rightfully* catching a lot of flak for their policies that are going to damage the health of a lot of people.

However, it's worth noting that this article is talking about stuff that happened under the Biden administration. Democrats have been happily throwing people's health and well-being under the bus in the name of corporate profit, as well. Is it as egregious as what's happening today? No, of course not, but it should not be happening *at all*.

When fascism in America finally buckles and falls apart, because it will, we have to resist liberals' insistence that we should just go back to how everything was before. We have to take the opportunity to move forward - away from a system that fundamentally did not work for the vast majority of people who labored underneath it.

Is there a list of those 150 drugs? I didn't see it in your articles.
