No grounds. Just not the shiny leader they thought he was. Or rather not the image of him they want to project.

The world really needs to stop this cult of personality bullshit. Can we all just grow up a bit?

Ah. All smoke. Can’t even link to a subreddit or use a complete sentence. No, I don’t work for the FDA. I am a scientist though with 25+ years of working experience and understand how drugs are made, developed, and how the FDA works. You?

Cool. Tell me more. Which part of the FDA is that? You sound like someone that has no idea about the FDA. Links? Facts? Do you have ANY?

Hey folks! This is why we have the FDA. People died. Regulations were made. Literally. In 1937 a drug maker used ethylene glycol, which tastes sweet, in cough syrups for children. Unfortunately ethylene glycol is incredibly toxic, and the kids taking the medication died. Took awhile at that time to identify what the problem was. This was a new compound and medication at the time. There is no reason for this to happen in 2022. It’s either intentional or massive mismanagement. There is no non-toxic amount of ethylene glycol. That’s why if you spill antifreeze you need to clean it up or dilute it down the drain. Pets and other animals will drink it, it’s sweet tasting. Then they die.

Reply to LPT: If you're buying a shoe. Make sure its body is stitched to the sole, not glued. by [deleted]
I had a pair of Asolo hiking boots for many years. I had one of the soles become unglued a few miles into the backcountry. Backpacking miles back to the car on the slippery nylon shank really sucked.

Bullshit. They MUST? No, there are opportunities for Canadian companies and gov here. Maybe they can partner with U.S.A. companies.

Reply to comment by Pure-Challenge9656 in Scientists make stunning discovery, find new protein activity in telomeres by NadiyaJeba
That’s a good thought! DNA and RNA have many regulatory elements though which can cause proteins to be made or to stop them from being made. It could be that a regulatory element on the ends of the telomeres stop these toxic proteins from being made, but when we age and the telomeres shorten the regulatory elements get lost. This causes the toxic proteins to be made, causing age related damage.
ELI5: The off switch for the toxic proteins could be on the ends of the telomeres, and when they shorten the switch gets turned on, causing age related damage.
