Nothing wrong with companies helping to sponsor conferences.

From the nonsense x account you posted:


And why is the FDA giving Stanford $50 million dollars to study the FDA - with Stanford then taking money from pharma companies to sponsor this research.

This guy either has no clue or he’s just lying. Take your pick.

Stanford and the other CERSI grantees are not “studying the FDA.” They are doing research that the FDA has requested because they believe it will help the FDA do their job more efficiently. They have asked the Universities to do the work because it requires special expertise. Here are some examples of the work being done:

Technological Innovations to Evolve Regulatory Decision Making​

The complexity and convergence of technologies and their applications have continued to accelerate, outpacing efforts to evaluate or optimize their design and use. For example, the emerging field of in silico trials—or computer simulations of how medical interventions interact with human anatomy, physiology, and pathological processes—represent a crucial advancement in regulatory science with transformative implications.

The ability to use digital twins as virtual study “participants” would signify a paradigm shift in how we assess the safety and efficacy of interventions. In partnership with the FDA, researchers at the Triangle CERSI address knowledge gaps in these emerging areas to help the agency adapt and innovate.

Solutions to Harness Data, Augment Quality and Modernize Clinical Trials​

There is an imperative for novel, efficient, transparent, and validated methods to augment regulatory science. Those include the evaluation of autonomous AI, interpretability and transparency of AI methods, task-based quantification, and validating the accuracy and effective use of real-world evidence.

Triangle CERSI specializes in creating and testing new methods to find optimal treatment approaches and to identify groups of patients who are most likely to benefit—or experience harm—from therapies. Our specialization in Bayesian methods, causal inference, digital health, AI, and machine learning support improved regulatory decision making, particularly in rare diseases as well as cardiovascular, oncologic and pediatric trials.

Bribes…ridiculous right wing anti science propaganda.

it is insane cause the Oligarchs running the CHICKEN scare got you shaking this morning.

may wanna learn the Truth for once and then go back to Woke and high Fear Egg prices. we want yur money bad



Another scam exposed: American Chicken Farmer says birds are NOT dying from “bird flu” like we’re being told Just like with Covid, they’re counting all deaths as bird flu, “Every time a bird dies, they say bird flu. I’m telling you, they’re bullsh*tting you.”​

Nope, still a stupid post.
 
Good for eggs but overall prices keep going up
Trump continues to fail at his promises to lower prices immediately

RFK doesnt have brain worms. Dr's found evidence of a dead parasite (worm) in his brain in 2010. You know. 25 years ago. Since then, RFK has been mentally healthy, as proven by his work history.

So which is it? Are you ignorant, or dishonest?

He himself said he had brain worms.

I don't believe for a second that he has a chemistry degree. He can barely form a coherent argument outside of insults. For example he can't discuss RFK specifically so he's left with insults and brain dead left wing talking points like the brain worms. He can't even point out what RFK has said as HHS that's been inaccurate.

It looks like you aren't familiar with the concept of conflict of interest. These companies shouldn't be giving money to the agency that's supposed to he regulating them. It's obvious those bribes to the FDA have allowed these companies to basically do whatever they want to maximize profit even at our expense.

You act as if the FDA has been doing a good job. We have the worst chronic disease epidemic in the world and it's largely due to our toxic food supply. So it's obvious the FDA would be graded an F for their work.

You're not keeping up with the current party line.

Trump's Treasury Secretary Bessent: "The American dream is not, 'let them eat flat screens' ... the American dream is not contingent on cheap bobbles from China."

Republicans' response to Trump's inflationary policies: "Well, get ready for 'a little disturbance' and by the way, we're gonna give tax cuts to the top 20% of earners and pay for it by taking away healthcare from people who need healthcare.

The comment was in regard to companies helping to sponsor conferences that they and other members of the public attend. Then you twist it around in your response to be giving money to agencies as bribes. They are not bribes. It is not obvious.

Your assumption that the main problem is toxic food and that it’s the FDA’s fault is based on no evidence.

First there is no evidence that chronic diseases are the result mainly of toxic food. Chronic diseases are the result of several individual health behaviors, such as excessive drinking, smoking, sedentary lifestyles, and poor nutrition and are often magnified by structural socioeconomic and environmental factors. For example, some people live in what are called “food deserts” where they do not have easy access to or can not afford items like fresh food and vegetables.

The idea that the FDA is the main problem is ridiculous. Could the FDA ban some substances that are currently in food, perhaps, but that’s not as easy as it sounds, they would need hard evidence as companies would challenge it in the courts. This costs money. The Biden administration asked Congress for $135 million to cover USDA nutrition security, FDA nutrition regulation, and NIH nutrition research. He received $0.

Could the FDA force the shutdown of all McDonald’s? No. If they could would Trump allow his favorite restaurant to be shut down? Of course not!

It’s actually hilarious that all of a sudden Republicans want more regulation!

Meanwhile thanks to DOGE the government is doing the exact opposite of what you say you want:

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is cutting two federal programs that provided about $1 billion in funding to schools and food banks to buy food directly from local farms, ranchers and producers, part of what the agency said was a decision to "return to long-term, fiscally responsible initiatives."
In other words, cheaper ultra processed foods!

The move cancels about $660 million in funding this year for the Local Food for Schools program, which is active in 40 U.S. states, as well as about $420 million for a second program called the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement, which helps food banks and other local groups provide food to their communities.
One of those school districts said the USDA's decision will wipe out $100,000 in funding that it had planned to spend on local beef and produce for students' school meals.

"It's a pretty big hit, and that's mostly fresh fruits and vegetables," said Patti Bilbrey, director of nutrition services at the Scottsdale Unified School District in Arizona.

So, $6 for a dozen.

Yeah that’s been the price for a few weeks now. It’s actually $9.39 but the main point was it doesn’t appear to be lowering everywhere just yet and word is it’s reduced demand from high egg prices not any policy changes so…
 
George50 said:
For those that didn't read the link there are two reasons why prices are down.

First, demand is way down because many consumers are not buying or are buying fewer eggs.

Second, supplies are up a little because there have not been any major outbreaks of the flu in the last two weeks.

Demand down, supplies up, price goes down.

It's good news!

Higher supply, just in time for the next big demand spike. Gotta love it.

Eggs at Walmart are listed at $5.97/dozen currently.

Same price they have been for a month.

(large, 1 dozen, Walmart brand)

Did you check today? My local Walmart just dropped the price from $5.97 to $4.97!!!

Amazing.

I am happy. Eggs is one of the few sources of protein that is normally affordable to low income families. This episode is perfect example of why performative politics is always a double edged sword. It was never really about the price of a dozen eggs. Trump was told to use it as campaign moment. It was really about the affordability of economic necessities including food, shelter, heat/air conditioning, and medical care with higher inflation rates superceding fixed incomes and wage increases.

Our real problem across this country is housing costs and medical costs and both are impossible problems to solve in one month or one year or four years.

Harris at least identified the right problems in her campaign and platform.

I guess it never got through because I never knew what her platform was.
