That’s what you do when you’re operating in an authoritarian regime. You praise the dictator for their guidance and vision so you stay on their good side.

The thing is, they act like this isn’t happening already. My doctor frequently checks and monitors my blood sugar and has scheduled conversations with nutritionists to help me adjust my lifestyle and diet.

This is the fucking standard of care.

These quacks are just perpetuating the myth that doctors “just push meds” and are controlled by “big pharma”. It’s how conspiracy theories work. You take a small kernel of truth (we treat some diabetes with insulin) and then just make up sinister stories around it.

Edit: what they actually want is to ne able to blame people who have diabetes for having diabetes. That way they are justified in denying them life-saving medication.

Not not the onion.

Oh did it? I hadn’t known it had difficult to open doors. Was it by design or just something to do with the gullwings?

You don’t tend to write a rule stating “passengers must be able to easily escape the vehicle in an emergency” until some tech bro makes it hard.

On the other hand, if you’re deathly allergic to something as common as onions, you probably shouldn’t rely on fast food workers to keep you alive.

If you’re serving food to the public you should probably be careful not to kill them.

Strictly speaking his job is administrative - he’s not an expert on health nor does he really need to be. He’s a political appointee charged with advising the president and enacting the president’s policies. The career bureaucrats and scientists in his employ are the experts.

It is, however, expected that he would at least understand and listen to those teams on what the correct science is and provide feedback from those teams upward to the president to ensure that the president’s goals align with good public health policy.

But he’s a whackjob conspiracy theorist who has no idea what he’s doing.

“We could have just bought him a Big Mac…”

I’m team bacteria on this one. C’mon little guys - do your thing!
