Johnson says he doesn't trust FDA on abortion drug

[RandySF]

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says he has doubts about the FDA’s ability to avoid playing politics on approving an abortion drug because the pandemic has shown him it can’t.

The Oshkosh Republican at a Milwaukee Press Club-WisPolitics luncheon Monday also said his advocacy for those who have had negative COVID-19 vaccine side effects has led him to distrust federal health agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control. He charged federal agencies, medical research and medical journals have been corrupted by big pharma, and the FDA, CDC and National Institutes of Health “have not been honest with Americans.”

The FDA first approved mifepristone in 2000. It made changes in 2016, 2019 and 2021 to the drug’s safety program.

“So we understand what’s happened during COVID,” he said. “And then you apply it to another issue. I guess I have my doubts about the FDA following the science on this one and not playing politics with that as well.”

4. Ron Johnson doesn't trust the FDA, the CDC, and the NIH?

That's because they aren't run by right-wing radical republicans. They actually DO follow the science, and DON'T play political games. So he doesn't trust them.

Wisconsin voters need to dump this guy in 2028; just missed in 2022.

15. So what? No drug is 100% safe, but mifepristone is safer than tylenol

which is popped everyday like candy by millions of Americans, including children.

OK, so you have doubts about the FDA? What does that mean? You want to ban every drug that's ever been approved? What point are you trying to make?

I can't believe that clown is still in office. Didn't he break multiple laws?
