    Do you have something worthwhile to bring up or are you just trolling?

    The fact that some doctors prescribe medications they shouldn’t is an ongoing issue for the medical industry that will never go away as long as doctors and patients are humans and we have incomplete knowledge.

    It is not a reason to confirm a crazy anti-science vaccine denier as secretary of HHS.

      Not trolling. My first post inb this thread acknowledges legitimate uses. I’m just pointing out the silver lining of this policy.

      Reducing public dependency on badly prescribed medication doesn’t seem evil or anti science, but big pharma won’t like it.

        But what leads you to believe they are being honest or will proceed in a scientific and humane way?

        That is the real concern here. Conservatives describing their intentions in ways that sound good on the surface is the oldest and most practiced technique they have. That is why all the context and history around this craziness is so important.
