Rfk drops ball

Just my opinion but upon taking office, he wanted to do this with SSRIs

SSRIs are an incredibly important to to fight against depression and anxiety. It's a whole CLASS of drugs as opposed to a single drug.

My problem with this...he's looking at the dangers of ssris instead of wondering what is causing the prevelance and need in the population. My guess is because that would require some significant navel gazing into American culture and, more importantly as the saying goes amongst psychologists "Many peoples mental health issues would be resolved if they made a sustainable income."


It's weird that they are going after a SOLUTION to a problem but not doing anything to address the ACTUAL problem. Why not investigate the reasons for the need of these prescriptions?

It's pretty simple. America is getting poorer and sicker. But an investigation would lend more credence and could lead to more improvements.

If he intends to "assess" these drugs, that is not a bad thing, but ....

I’ve been on SSRI’s/SNRI more than half my life now. I’ve heard many conspiracy theories about them, that they cause brain damage, are just sugar pills etc

I just hope no one puts my life, or the life of millions, in danger!

Well, you get what you vote for, but remain hopeful for sure.

So, FYI anyone, here is the complete Executive Order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission:

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

www.whitehouse.gov

And here is the portion regarding SSRIs, etc:

(iii) assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs;

I don't see anything wrong with doing an assessment of the prevalence of or threat posed by the prescribing of those drugs. Those drugs may work safely for some, maybe even many, but let's not be like an ostrich and put our heads in the sand when it comes to looking more closely at the potential risks and side effects that others may experience when taking them.

It's from Senator Tina Smith: a Far Left lifetime politician with exactly zero evidence, nor knowledge of medicine. Unless you consider killing children in the womb a medical background.

You're claiming Tina Smith personally has killed children someone has olaced in wombs? Man... I didn't know they stretched much... Must have been a lot of work to stuff one there.

 

[essentialsaltes]

The part that raised my eyebrow was:

(a) study the scope of the childhood chronic disease crisis and any potential contributing causes, including the American diet, absorption of toxic material, medical treatments, lifestyle, environmental factors, Government policies, food production techniques, electromagnetic radiation, and corporate influence or cronyism;

I mean, yes, we should protect kids from sunburn, but I doubt that's what these yahoos are thinking.

Okay then, what SOLUTION should RFK be going after?

No - but she worked for a national organization that makes billions killing children in the womb. Do your own research

Can you point to any of his speeches, or testimonies, or interviews where he said so?

 

[7thKeeper]

So she didn't personally kill anyone like you insinuated in your original post. Gotcha.

Tina Smith served as the vice president of Planned Parenthood of Minnesota. In this role, she was responsible for overseeing the organization's operations.

She oversaw the operations that ended the lives of children - did she personally tear the child to pieces and such them out of the mothers womb? No, but she made sure it was able to happen.

Still got me?

It's like saying the commandant of Auschwitz didn't kill anyone personally, so he's ok.

This is what happens when you entertain, and hire, quacks.

Deplorable. I take anything she says with a grain of salt,

Elon Musk is against SSRIs, maybe the order came from Elon? Don't know?

But yeah, get rid of this class of drug and suicides and shootings will likely increase.
RFK Jr, loves conspiracies. It's right in his wheelhouse.

 

[stevil]

Okay then, what SOLUTION should RFK be going after?

Govt should be staying out of the medical space. Let the medical experts decide which drugs are best for people. Govt should focus on trying to reduce inflation, improving infrastructure, providing funding and services for those in need, etc
