Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to overhaul parts of the FDA, specifically targeting the agency’s nutrition department, which he claims “are not doing their jobs” and failing to protect public health.
Kennedy, a known opponent of vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry, said he could “clear out” corruption in health agencies. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he would give Kennedy significant influence over health policy, though Trump’s campaign denied he would lead HHS.
Experts and family members warn that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance could have serious public health repercussions.
Very few manufacturing facilities for the US would not also carry European approval. Generally speaking you can expect the medication to be as safe as it was before.
Obviously some firms perform better than others at inspections and not all drugs are in all markets… But it won’t be the wild west.
Why do you have any reason to believe this would stay the same if we remove regulation entirely? Makes no sense.
Because it would be more complicated to develop US only and EU only variants. Speaking from direct professional experience.
