Even in an "all hands on deck" situation that should require us to use any safe and known product that could be of potential use.
Not a single recommendation to the public to be healthier - through fat loss, cleaner diet, workout, sunshine, walking, vitamin supplements, or anything else. The fact that they didn't utilize these things, and even lobbied to silence POTENTIAL therapeutics, makes me highly skeptical of their argument.
The information that I cited is clearly a case of a misuse of our scholarly literature system for a political or personal reason.
I'm not surprised that bullshit studies are launched on efficacy and "safety" of products by Big Pharma - they've done this longer than I've been alive. See: the opioid epidemic. See every major lawsuit against a big pharma company. Suddenly everyone wants to believe that a pharmaceutical company is our friend? Nobody would have said that even 5 years ago - from either political party.
More sinister is the obvious censorship and propaganda in the literature (as a cited previously). In my mind, this is far, far worse. Far worse. It is evidence of a diseased system. Our system is sick. If we don't identify this and correct it, then the disease will continue to progress and the system will continue to deteriorate. Look no further than a few other examples of political systems that censor citizens: Russia, China, North Korea. I'm not whining, but I think we need to continue to talk about this fucking bullshit.
And how the fuck would we do that if the leftist mob is arguing that it is dangerous and for horses? My understanding is these folks pulling the strings are essentially a sick-minded group of organized thugs. You can encounter them on either the left or the right. Jerks looking to make a buck off you don't care what color your tie is.
