I work in an industry that exists because of pharmaceutical manufacturers getting drugs approved, and FDA regulations. I do not see my industry existing in 2 years. I honestly do believe that RFKJr will "go wild on medicines" and that basic tenets of "efficacy and safety" and how drugs are evaluated will be radically altered so that, either every drug can get approved or no drugs will get approved, neither of which will Make America Healthy Again, unless, Again= pre-Pure Food and Drug Act. Rumors abound of, halting drug approvals in areas like cancer and anti-infectives, of allowing drugs on the market that have only proved safe, not effective, and even heavier regulations on pharma advertising than exist today. Nothing in my 35+ career can prepare for whatever they bring, and I have every reason to believe that the rumors will not be as bad as the truth.

Follow-up: I looked this up and saw he filed a lawsuit and settled before jury selection for a few million. Felt like a low settlement.
