Excellent analysis!!! This is so disheartening. This is why it is so imperative that the US elects Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be our next President. He is the only one who has the experience to clean up -- and even more notably, is the only one even talking about cleaning up -- corporate capture of our government, especially that of Big Pharma.

I won't speak on whether RFK will be able to clean up this mess, but I will say that regardless of who we have in charge we need far more people to be aware of what is going on in science. We need a public that is able to spot bad science and put science's feet to the fire.

That is true!! Thank you for pointing it out. I wrote about it in 2022, and I am still amazed by just how easily they got away with it! https://tessa.substack.com/p/brain-chips-for-lawyers?

Unfortunately many scientists get away with it because there aren't enough people who are able to spot the problems. It's why I've written several of my recent articles, especially regarding the "harms" from xylitol because it seems to be based on misinformation and a public that is none the wiser to the misinformation.

As an aside, apologies for never getting back to you Tessa regarding your worm argument regarding diseases. I remember you left a comment about that way back and just didn't have the time to check it out.

When I do I'll try to give you my opinion on the topic!

As always, thank you for shedding light on complicated subjects, showing the malfeasance of the corporate political juggernaut.
