How conspiracies are cultivated

It is bad enough with a minority of people subscribing to conspiracies from vaccine health to 5G telephone signals, but if the FDA are refusing to release the results of their studies then they will grow. Any reasonable person will be asking why? Two extreme views might be posited
- they are dangerous and we are not being told
- this is a deliberate attempt to create the conspiracies

"Across a vast and multilayered government, in which many leadership positions must be confirmed by a Senate that shares only a narrow partisan majority with the administration, it’s typical for some roles to remain unfilled or be occupied by interim leaders. But critics say the level of upheaval in the current HHS is unusual and the lack of scientific expertise among its leadership is concerning."

The #FDA has zero credibility under Trump —

Concerned about #PublicHealth, FDA Commissioner Makary hesitated to approve vape flavors (like fruit) that kids especially like.

But #Trump worried about HIMSELF politically, noting the "importance of flavored vaping to young MAGA voters."

Trump then pressured Makary, causing him to approve the flavors (helping the #tobacco industry).

Now Trump is firing Makary.
