OK, out of the FDA, almost every single one of the heads of the FDA for the last 20 something years have gone to work for the exact institutions they were supposed to be protecting the American people from. So the FDA has been captured, corrupted and colluded with industry.

OK, then we go to HHS, you know, HHS directly during Obamacare helped create what are now all these big insurance companies and PBMs and their unilateral control of our health care system. They created carve outs and safety nets that allow for nondisclosure on how much money is being held at a PBM. Again, corporate capture, collusion, corruption. What was the NIH? OK, OK.
