Pollsters Continue to Prove Progressives Are Right About Everything

I find it amusing that despite the overwhelming majority of evidence you still hang on to your beliefs because it could hurt too bad.

Yes it does fit, you fucking moron.

A bum, a vagrant. Abandoned by society. Of which you all are, left behind the turning political tide because of your unwillingness to admit you are wrong.

See. Fucking Brilliant!

Better go to the ER because your health insurance probably will deny coverage;)

Not be default, no there should not be a law prohibiting someone from being able to work in place B because they have worked in place A before. In some circumstances that would actually be preferred.

A lot of the complaints I’ve seen about the current admin’s appointees is a lack of experience in the field they’ve been selected to oversee. I can see both the sides of that complaint, just as I can see your point, but don’t think limiting the freedom of employment is an appropriate measure as a default.

The whole of human knowledge is available at your finger tips. There is absolutely nothing preventing the ā€œmanyā€ from learning about whatever they please, nearly for free in many instances.

Most people don’t want to do this, so yes, hiring someone who has done this to head an organization focused on that specialty would be a smart thing.

Independence regulations aren’t impossible, nor uncommon. And they would be much better than outright bans on employment.

That’d would have been a banner result comparatively.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive.

A law with stiff penalties could prevent this tragedy from becoming a reality.

This assumes the proper information is readily available and not hidden or even published. Not to mention you are asking people to do a research project after work when they’ve taken care of the children. Ridiculous. So if we can’t trust the FDA, do a research project and if the drug industry takes advantage of you it’s your fault. How stupid. How naive.

Okay make a regulation banning employment for a number of years between the agency and industry.

so yes, hiring someone who has done this to head an organization focused on that specialty would be a smart thing. And how has this worked out in the FDA?

I agree, we should do away with the FDA and replace it with a free market.

And afterwards we’ll be asking for an FDA.

Because they’ve done a Viox good job protecting us so far.

It’s not that difficult. Rather than turn on Netflix or some other Hollywood garbage, learn something. I do it every day I don’t play fallout lol.

Yes.

You ever heard the phrase ā€œI’m going to get a second opinionā€? You know why that phrase exists?

And from whom will that second opinion be?

The implication I’m getting from Zep Ol’ Boy is that there is some grand conspiracy via ā€œBig Pharmā€ the FDA and doctors across the globe to actually keep us sick, feed us drugs that actually hurt us, and do all this to maintain (dismal) profit margins.

While the sheer volume of graft this would take makes it prohibitively unlikely in the first place (as in why spend that money to maintain thin margins, when you could just do your normal jobs and save the money for the same margins), the number of people who’d have to be involved is also prohibitively large.

Therefore, within any two doctors, I’d say your chances of finding one that isn’t in on the conspiracy is pretty large.

Secondarily, he tried to claim I was blaming the victim, when in fact I was pointing out the need for due diligence by each individual. Getting a second opinion is due diligence.

I think there is some merit to the idea that doctors do over-prescribe meds and that Big Pharma is part of the reason why. I have never been to med school but I wonder, and some might be able to answer this, how much involvement Big Pharma has when it comes to training MDs. But as far as second opinions go, you are still deferring to someone you believe knows more than you do. It still comes down to trust.

I know that the pet food industry is involved in veterinary school curriculum. Hence the reason why so many vets look down on raw feeding and even sell dog food in their offices.

Basically the supplement industry, but with drugs. Same number if deaths, just shifting the cause around a bit.

The current system has set the bar pretty damn low: for example Kermit, WV.

Correct, but if you end up with two, or three or more opinions that are all in line with each other, at what point can you bee certain you’re likely in need of the medication?

If you aren’t going to do the research yourself, you have to go to those that have, and you should seek out more than one of ā€œthose that haveā€.

I mean, sure.

I’m not sold it’s some grand conspiracy to destroy the common man though.
