RFK Jr.’s First Act as Secretary of HHS was to Fire FDA Staff Reviewing Musk’s Neuralink Medical Device

The day after the U.S. Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), the first firings at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were announced, and they included FDA employees working in the medical device division, including the team that was investigating Elon Musk’s brain implant company, Neuralink. Neuralink was previously facing a federal investigation over alleged deaths of monkeys in the Neuralink trials. I am all for cuts at the FDA, and in fact for years I have been in favor of eliminating the entire FDA completely, since it serves Big Pharma, and not the U.S. public. But the medical devices industry is already the least-regulated industry within the FDA, and many people claim that the medical devices industry is far more corrupt and powerful than the pharmaceutical drug industry. Removing what little oversight that was already there will now make them more powerful than ever, and give a free pass to the Technocrats and people like Elon Musk and his brain chip company to put more "medical devices" into the market.
