You are right on the money (literally and - sadly - figuratively.) President Reagan said that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." In 1773, tea was dumped in the harbor. The action was far more than a move to protest taxation; it was a protest against a huge, overreaching government. It was a grassroots, citizens-up revolution that birthed this country, and it will take the same kind of grassroots effort to reform the forces that drove Prasad and Makary out of government. The question is, do we have the will? Keep up the good fight Tiff.
“Here is what MAHA should do immediately: stop measuring wins by whose butt is in which seat. Vinay and Marty just proved that those particular seats are a waste of time. Start measuring wins by how many people are crossing into this alternative world we have been building outside them.”
Truth.
I know I have placed too much hope in who is sitting where. Actually, it’s not hope, it’s acquiescing that someone else will do the work because I can be too lazy to do my own part.
I agree that each time something like this happens it exposes the reality. It boils down to each one of us. Becoming enlightened to the darkness and evil we face.
Marty was going to get fired. He knew it, everyone knew it. They let him resign. As I mentioned in my linkedin post, the job was over his head. He's not a regulator, he's a physician. He wasted 14 months and got nothing accomplished. He's a great example of why people should "stay in their lane" The man is a brillant surgeon and his skill saved lives. He sadly became a political paper pusher.

Ugh - I KNOW you are right David, but I too was secretly hoping to be saved. As far as what's next, we have to have the will. We have no other choice.
I’m so sad to hear this news. And infuriated. Keep fighting the good fight and telling the world about it.
Thanks Jason. Me too. We have to save ourselves and at least there's some hope and power in that.

I feel this so deeply. And especially this >> It boils down to each one of us. Becoming enlightened to the darkness and evil we face.

Anyone who won't bow down to pharma eventually is shown the door. Wish he could have done more.
I wish he wouldn't have taken the job in the first place.
He may actually agree with you!
