If there’s ZERO hits on “Rapamycin News” for Talc, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the FDA, HHS, has been infiltrated by saboteurs. Please post terrible HHS decisions or priorities so we can adjust our probabilities on how much to trust these agencies.

2021-2024 HHS priorities in one picture
Oh sorry that’s two pictures. Oh sorry did you say 2025? Oh sorry.
Here’s a great short discussion of terrible NIH priorities in the Biden NIH:

Trans people have higher average intelligence scores than cis people, so it’s not surprising to find them in positions of power.

Get rid of “DEI”; get rid of smart people. Smart people are on average liberal and prefers “DEI”.
That’s how you get agencies prioritizing research of the impact of talc, possibly banning vaccines, seed oils, and other shenanigans. Good work? Most gerontologists are liberals…
Back on topic…?

US cancels more than $700 million funding for Moderna bird flu vaccine
An HHS spokesperson said that after a comprehensive internal review, the agency had determined that the project did not meet the scientific standards or safety expectations required for continued federal investment.

The ONLY redeeming quality of this health administration is Jim O’Neill and him maybe pushing anti-aging research. So sure, have your way to try and change this massive Rube Goldberg machine without the best science - argue about seed oils, talc, UPF’s, rather than pushing GLP-1 agonists and cholesterol lowering drugs to the masses.
It looks like they squandered the opportunity and no change will happen from changing SNAP benefits and giving dietary guidelines, no one takes these people seriously except the 0.1% on X who wants their delusions affirmed. In three years it will just be about saving face it seems “that change will take a long time”.
I will pay ZERO attention to the health USG anymore until competent people are in charge or they actually talk about anti-aging research. Fuck these guys and have at their talc research and cancelling bird flu programs.
(At the same time, it seems only bipartisan support for anti-aging research will make a difference, as otherwise ~4 yrs is too little time, and you can’t have the next admin come and cancel all of the progress. This admin is unique in breaking previous bipartisan support for e.g funding bird flu vaccine research. Good job, but now everyone should realize only bipartisan support for something matters, rest is noise)

The problem is, if you read that “MAHA report” document (attached)
WH-The-MAHA-Report-Assessment.pdf (7.4 MB) it’s about 95% reasonable. Obesity crisis, terrible food, everybody is sedentary, mental health crisis etc etc. All true, and the small number of proposed solutions are good too.
DEI aside, I totally agree about the apparent terrible priorities, which seem driven by ideology over more than anything else. If the administration went to war against Kraft Foods, Walmart, Coca Cola etc - I bet both the left and right wing would be quite happy with that.
But going after vaccines seems senseless, especially funding for vaccines useful in potential future pandemics. Imagine the damage if we’re caught with our pants down, again, while other countries learned their lessons and have plans in place. It’s foolish to pretend that infectious diseases have gone away.
And longer term, @AnUser is right. It gives nobody the faith to actually start big, meaningful projects if your funding is at the whims of the administration. It totally undermines US research, US soft power, and credibility. Before the pandemic, I would have considered the CDC, FDA flawed but at least reliable and trying to do their best. But since the pandemic (Fauci et al), and the response to it (Trump, RFK J et al), I now don’t know whether I could trust official information to even try and be truthful, or whether it’s just ideologically-driven BS. That’s a shame, and combined with leaving the WHO and WHA, the US is squandering their leadership in one of the areas they were strongest.

This is terrible. Cutting the dicks off nine year olds is a human right. And raises iq by at least fifteen points!

We’ll see how well they do, like I’ve always said in one way or the other, whether this admin is great or not is contingent on O’Neill doing great bipartisan changes for life extension research.
I thought we were discussing whether Rachel Levine were competent for her position?
But sure, remove all the trans people from all positions of power, including from the intelligence services, and lose even more ground to the PRC.
There is always a complex question as to how to regulate regulation.
I was on the UK regulatory reform committee for 10 years.
I am having some fun at the moment trying to make my citrate blend available on Amazon. It appears I cannot call it an intervention and explaing the biochemistry is potentially a criminal offence unless the description is authorised by a committee. Hence I am searching for a meaningless name.
