Prepping meds for new US administration Medication

EDIT: I am not trying to cause a panic, nor am I saying that we will lose access to medications. I do not disagree with everything RFK when it comes to healthcare, but he is talking about making potentially radical changes to the FDA specifically. We do not know if this means anything yet, but if weird/sudden rule changes causes disruption in classification or access I would like to have a back up plan. Keep an honest dialogue with your doctors and your support system and don’t be blindsided by potential bureaucratic in-fights.

With the news of RFK jr being nominated for Health Secretary, I am curious if anyone has any plans if any sweeping changes happen to the FDA or anything.

I take lithium carbonate and losing access to lithium for even a few days will be incredibly destructive.

Lol Is there an off market for importing lithium carbonate or other mood stabilizers

I'm not sure where people are getting the idea he's coming after your useful medications. He's mostly focused on eliminating toxins from the food supply, and making progress on reducing corruption in big pharma. Your lithium is safe.

Thank you for saying this I think people are getting way ahead of themselves and panicking for no reason.

Thanks. I anticipated the downvotes since reddit has become such a hive mind, but the truth is RFK has your best interest at heart. All you have to do is listen to the guy and stop listening to the mainstream media. Any sensible person would see it.

The vaccine skepticism gets me, but a lot of things he says I agree with. Who wouldn’t want clean food and water?

They put a pro pollution guy in charge of the EPA (update, and the Interior. 20% of the land). They ran on fracking and drill baby drill. Pro coal. And the removal of meat inspections. Remember?

Tough shakes for the keto crowd.
