Critique of Pharmaceutical Industry Influence

These agencies, the FDA, USDA, and CDC, all of them are

controlled by giant for-profit corporations.

Seventy-five percent of the FDA's funding doesn't come from taxpayer, it comes from

pharma.

And pharma executives and consultants and lobbyists cycle in and

out of these agencies with President Trump's backing.

I'm gonna change that. We're gonna staff these agencies with

honest

scientists a- and doctors who are free from

industry funding.

We're gonna make sure the decisions of consumers,

doctors, and patients are informed by unbiased science.

A sick child is the best thing for the pharmaceutical industry.

When American children or adults get sick with a chronic

condition,

they're put on medication for their entire life.

Imagine what will happen when Medicare starts paying for

Ozempic, which costs $1,500 a

month, and it's being recommended for children as

young as

six,

all for a condition, obesity, that is completely preventable a-

and barely even

existed 100 years ago.
