Have your doctor selectively ignore the anti-vax and non-ionizing EM radiation ducks.
There's some good (microbiome research, cracking down on influencers advertising drugs), some bad (anti-fluoride, autism scare, vaccine scare, EM radiation scare), some I can't evaluate (usefulness of non-animal models, usefulness of AI in cancer research and in diagnostic medicine), and some that depend heavily on implementation (prescription impact on mental health, building a general data platform, changing nutrition labelling).
It's certainly doesn't seem like a dismantling of the agency nor an attempt at corruption.
However, RFK Jr. and the rest of this administration has a lot of baggage, I heavily disagree with the idea that the bad ideas here are just a distraction duck.
But re. China, is that entirely true? I was under the impression that traditional Chinese medicine (which we westerners usually consider quack) is very much integrated into medical practice in China, although I don't know if that extends to medical research. I could be wrong though, I don't have a clear view on Chinese affairs.
