The idiocy of the FDA

Published



The Founding Fathers thought that federalism was a pretty good idea on the grounds that different people might like to be ruled in different ways. Later on, the observation was made that having 50 different attempts at getting things right might help the country zero in on the things that work a little quicker. The breadth of the federal bureaucracy has entirely missed the point of that second part — they’re trying to control the COVID-19 pandemic by diktats and edicts from the center. This is not a sensible manner of ruling 330 million people.

As an example, the FDA has just told a Bill Gates-associated group to stop testing for COVID-19. It didn’t do so because there was anything wrong with the tests, because there wasn’t.
