Except zero Republicans want that.

You're doing that classic thing where you're taking republican views, which are legitimately insane, and trying to rationalize them and make them sound better.

Its okay, the Republicans are actually insane and stupid. Were allowed to call them insane and stupid when they do insane and stupid things. We're allowed to repeat the things they say back.

We don't have to euphamize everything.

It would be easier to believe conservative arguments for "extra testing" were in good faith if another cornerstone of their philosophy wasn't cutting regulation and red tape.

We cut through red tape when we needed to.

As if you have the faintest clue how much testing was done, or have the capacity to understand that testing in the first place. These complaints are hollow, transparent bullshit, and they’re always pushed by people who will contort themselves into pretzels to not accept any evidence provided that doesn’t confirm their priors.

Citation needed on your definition of adequate testing, gene therapy products, etc.

The whole right-wing hysteria is so ridiculous especially considering the real profit-seeking-grift that happened with Aduhelm, for instance, was primarily opposed by and investigated by Democrats. Like, we have receipts on who's looking out for things getting approved despite bad test results. And it's not the people currently claiming they are.

		Funny that you mentioned Aduhelm, because Prasad has many, many videos blasting the FDA for approving that mess. > The whole right-wing hysteria is so ridiculous especially considering the real profit-seeking-grift that happened with Aduhelm, for instance, was primarily opposed by and investigated by Democrats. This is just revisionist history. Aduhelm was rubber-stamped by Peter Marks' CBER, under Biden: https://www.statnews.com/2021/06/22/documents-reveal-fda-unp... (Marks started at the FDA under Obama, BTW.) Outside reviewers had recommended rejecting the drug as early as November 2020. The FDA's own statisticians agreed.

		>Citation needed Okay, here is the president of Bayer Pharacutical division calling the covid mRNA a gene therapy, because it is: https://youtu.be/IKBmVwuv0Qc?t=507 And here is the definition of vaccine being rewritten to include mRNA gene therapies: https://archive.is/xLu6u https://archive.is/BQStN It's only a vaccine if you like redefining words to mean whatever you want them to mean.
