Because removing food dyes doesn't do much for your health. Food dyes have been studied extensively, and they have never been conclusively shown to be harmful in vivo at normal doses. This is simply a get-rich-quick scheme to sell unapproved, low-quality "natural" products. If you're serious about your health, you know what to do: reduce sugar and carbohydrate intake and exercise more.
@@Doman3500 Ha! Just trolling. Did you know food dye is made of petroleum waste? I've seen a child's brain malfunction after consuming it, so say what you want, my experience proves otherwise.

Using an exception to the rule to prove that something is bad is idiotic. saying peanuts are bad because peanut allergies exist is dumb.

There is so much dishonesty in food labeling as well. Food guidelines are out to lunch. Our family essentially does not buy processed food. We buy local beef, catch our own salmon, buy pork from Mennonites, avoid carbs, have our own fruit and bees. I feel the same about big pharma and public health, a deeply dishonest system. I would be for "Make America Honest Again". We should know whats in the food and where it comes from.
If you take the artificial dyes out of a sugary carby cereal, it still is a sugary carby cereal. I think the concern over dyes is sort of in-the-weeds and misses the bigger picture.
@@Doman3500 I agree that sugars and carbs are not inherently bad (fruits have sugars, for instance), but they are used as key components in the hyper-palatable junk foods that people overconsume.
Sugar/high fructose corn syrup/soy in everything is a problem. I just don't want the Gov to subsidize these ingredients.

@@FullTexanEffect I don’t drink and I’m not a big fan of pork, but here’s a recipe on how to keep Americans chronically ill but make it seem like they’re actually doing something: Taxpayer funded “clean” Doritos. MAHA!
People should really read the article shown @13:00 . Plenty of links. The American Council on Science & Health (ACSH) does indeed appear to take lots of corporate $$.
Only someone who doesn’t work in healthcare would say this. I have a lot of criticisms for our healthcare and food policies, but this is exactly what doctors have been recommending forever. 90% of patients aren’t interested in lifestyle changes. Everyone wants quick and easy when it comes down to it, give me a pill or injection and send me on my way.
1) Doctors DO. It's the baseline. Some people are profit hungry and evil, in any category. 2) some people need drugs (not necessarily to lose weight, but definitely to manage symptoms or promote healing). 3) The new trend of ozempic like drugs is bad because it can limit the supply for people who need it and it reinforces toxic diet culture and EDs. Simply shouting about how to lose weight without medicine is almost purposefully obtuse, and reinforces that same toxic diet culture.
Orthopedists consistently and constantly prescribe physical therapy and exercise for muscular skeletal medical issues. BUT I’m sure you don’t think that everything is cured through just diet and exercise alone. If that were true, our life expectancy would not have increased significantly over the past century.
I was sick for many years on 11 prescriptions a day. Had to go outside of the US healthcare system to get well. The issue is healthcare is a for profit business in the US so there is no money in people being healthy. Us getting healthy = lost profit. We need our government to regulate food (which is medicine) and healthcare like other countries do. All for capitalism but it’s killing people so we need balance. Only thing to do for yourself is to only eat whole one ingredient foods which really aren’t nutrient dense due to the soil from mono cropping.
Glad you remediated and cured your sickness. What you're saying is right. All they care about is profit. They don't economically benefit from pushing natural remedies. They don't economically benefit from pushing real nutrition and exercise. They can't control people if they're not sick. A diseasefree society is an unenslavable society.
11 prescriptions a day is insane even if you were 80. The most I've ever been in my life here in Australia is two and that would be like a course of two meds to attack one illness for example, never ongoing. They still don't try that hard to teach you lifestyle changes here, but they don't prescribe heaps of medication in my experience.
@ doctors offices here are filling with pharmaceutical reps pushing their drugs and they give the doctors kickback payments for writing a certain # of prescriptions for them.
I'm a bit conflicted with some of her statements. I never heard her credibly defend her beliefs that these "chemicals" or GMO's in our foods are in fact bad for you. She should present her sources of research on these ingredients and should have been asked at the start of the interview where she gets these beliefs from. To just scream that these things are poison as if it's fact turns me off.
I mean...they were convicted in a court of law. The evidence was carefully reviewed at that time over many weeks. You aren't seriously going to study the papers closely and carefully enough to get a real answer anyway. I am a scientist. It takes me at least 10 hours with a paper to figure out if it's something like the truth. If someone just send me one, I have no idea whether it is honest, or something funded by corporations to look like science...and I do this for a living. I'm not really sure what you hope to get from the "sources". Are you going to do their statistical analysis over again from the raw data? It's extremely easy to change the result by changing the way the statistical analysis is done. There is also widespread straight up data fraud, you would have no way of knowing whether that occurred. Anyway, 2 billion dollar judgements against corporations with elite lawyers don't happen by accident. It's more than enough for me to say I'd rather just hedge my bets and eat something else.

James Li is typically on the right side of the argument but fails to deliver any meaningful conversation because his experts are just fucking bloggers with no evidence.
Thank you for listening to RFK. He may be wrong about some things, but his genuine concern far exceeds what anyone else is doing to hold companies accountable for what they put in our food. Thank you, Food Babe and James Li!
Idk, getting Kellogg to remove dyes seems like it misses the point... The "food" they make, with or without dyes, is not good for you! Why waste time trying to get them to make it a little bit better when people shouldn't be eating it at all!?
It’s freedom of choice. There are a lot of things that aren’t good/healthy for us, but those dyes are poison. I’m guessing RFK would ban the dyes and Kelloggs will have to change the recipe
Thank you, food babe, for keeping our health and well-being in mind. I have a 2 year old now and every day I am terrified about him eating, literally in general. I don't want him dealing with the same problems I am
I can't help but notice she totally sidestepped the question/accusation that she's making millions of dollars selling supplements, books, and lifestyle related products, by telling people to go buy her book. I don't doubt that she's right about companies; I don't trust them, either. They'll serve you shit if it saves them a buck. But why should I trust that SHE is a credible source, when it sounds like she's also saying things that are building her own brand and company?
Is it better to make a living off of something you believe in, or something you don't? Everyone has to put food on the table and pay the bills. What would make her a hypocrite is if she were profiting off the toxins while pretending to fight them. Like some of our corrupt regulators do. If she believes in healthy alternatives, it makes sense to try and market a product she actually believes in and get more people to love healthier in the process.
@@__RobShe actually has history of doing just that. She’s said beauty products were dangerous because of certain ingredients and then promoted products that had the same ingredients. But she got a kickback from the brands she promoted. So those must be fine!
You shouldn’t just trust her, you should research it yourself. Be careful though, if this comment section is any evidence, then big food is really scared of people wanting the poison they put in our food out and will do anything to trick us into keeping them in the food supply.
Find healthcare scientists/ experts with the credentials to back the healthy food movement. For example, why not harness the power of European “experts,” who can show in-the-field data results - healthy lifestyle outcomes. Out maneuver corporate establishment opposition. Reference credentialed scientists in support of the heathy food revolt. Publish widely the hard data! Advocate European scientists may cast some shame and stimulate competition, in challenging “American exceptionalism?”
That data has been around for eons 50 6070 years ago. This is not new. This information is well known both here in the United States as well as the EU. She is simply redressing this lifelong issue.
Since its founding 118 years ago Kellogg’s has always prided itself as a company that is committed to selling healthy food, and managing one of the largest philanthropic foundations in the world. Exposing the corporation as an organization that acts in a way that is opposite to what it preaches, is not what they want to public to hear. Portraying Kellogg’s as being dishonest to its customers, certainly will make them feel uncomfortable. The Food Babe has a lot of leverage to get the company to do what’s right.
Very informative interview. This was an issue brought up inbthe past there was no incentive in the government to make the changes to clean up the food supply.
Not really that informative. This lady is a well-known charlatan. She says everything is bad and sells you supplements. Never trust someone that sells you an antidote To a made-up problem
Yeah, yeah... like when everyone who questioned the "science" was hit by areyouadoctor crap.. You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows..Zimmerman

@@timlee2877 You don't have to have a PhD or MD to be well educated in nutrition. Or to examine claims, read studies, and draw sound conclusions. Food Babe obviously does some hyperbole. "Poison" is a little extreme. But some things she says are true. So, the debunking is in the details.
I think she needs to change her name, food babe does not sound terribly credible. It also sounds like someone just looking for attention because of her looks. That being said, I have all the respect for her and what she's doing.

There's the vaccine thing, but his overall message is that food and pharmacy corporations are screwing people over and it needs to stop.

@@Lauracom dyes are not unhealthy or bad for you. They are used around the world but only seem to be a problem in America? How's that work? Marketing to children isn't great, but children don't have money. The parents buy the groceries. Parents shouldn't allow this overconsumption.
I agree 100% with the overall message, but am kind of bothered by James choice of guest. Vani Hari like most wellness bloggers has 0 credentials whatsoever and makes a whole lot of money selling all kinds of supplements/products/fear with her food babe brand etc (e.g. a $125 "sugar detox")
She's a grifter who peddles detox programs and juice cleanses. She once wrote an article about flying tips, which included her saying 'they don't pump pure oxygen in, and that they mix it with nitrogen, sometimes at 50%'.
Imagine feeding a child fruit loops everyday for breakfast and then when they get fat and unhealthy you get mad at the cereal brand for using artificial dyes.
Exactly. Americans have a lifestyle (diet and exercise) problem, not an ultra processed food ingredients problem. What are the risks of developing chronic illness in a child whose diet is 80% nutrient dense food (fruits, veggies, lean proteins, etc) and 20% foods like Fruit Loops? Probably pretty low. Diet and inactivity are at the root of our epidemic, not dyes and additives.
@@rlud304 Europe has plenty of junk food but it's kept out of schools. In the U.S. during the Obama administration soft drinks and junk food were being removed from schools but Republican politicians blocked it.
90% of Americans don’t eat enough fruits, vegetables and fiber. Most eat more the recommended amount of added sugar. The food supply isn’t “tainted”. Most Americans have more access to healthy food than almost any other person in the world. (There are lots of Americans who do lack access, which is an issue.) The problem is what Americans choose to eat and not eat.
@@maxdout564 the problem is that we don’t have nutrition education in our schools, and we will believe nutrition claims that are made by random people as a result. Americans are victims of nutrition misinformation. Go to the bookstore & see all the different books on nutrition written by so called experts. They all contradict each other, so who are you to believe, the leaky brain guy? 🙄
Our food supply has been compromised for a long time. I hope RFK can efficiently bring back some common sense health laws that other countries are enforcing.
This is probably over the line and well into being counterproductive. On the one hand, this "food babe" is right that glyphosphate is carcinogenic and should never be allowed near the food supply. On the other hand, what she gets fantastically wrong is the way that she thinks about expertise. Credentials are a way to gatekeep the conversation about carcinogens and other social ills, true; but they're also a handy way to tell the difference between people who know what they're talking about and people who don't. Quo vadis and follow the money are fine rules of thumb, but they aren't a substitute for being able to speak with literacy about an issue. If you can speak to the substance of the issue and can tell the difference between science and new age guru bullshit, the argument from credentials suddenly loses its force. This is why people like Erin Brockovitch ultimately end up making headway despite not being credentialed experts. There's a difference between criticizing a bureaucratic power discourse and making a substantive argument about carcinogens. The "food babe" has no idea that that distinction even exists, and keeps trying to conflate one with the other -- much less being able to distinguish an informed argument from rhetoric. This is why she, and RFK, and Alex Jones, and Dr. Oz, and all the rest of them are ultimately going to do more harm than good.
Interesting point but the heads of these boards that train professionals also take money and research from these food companies so even the expert pool is not as informed as we'd like to think. Your taught a framework but rarely does anyone critically challenge their framework to see if it holds up.
It's so refreshing to hear about the real and great things RFK jr has done on these important issues. Krystal would spend most of the video just smearing him and presenting him as a bad person. All while refusing to give him or Trump credit for anything.
Two things can be true.... In general we should err on the side of caution when it comes to food additives. At the same time just because something is banned in another country doesn't automatically mean it is unsafe. And just because vaccines are safe and effective doesn't mean vaccines are the solution to every single viral outbreak. At times government can be compromised by industry and we need outside voices to fight against that, but that doesn't mean we should think that internet personalities and political personalities are substitutes for hard science... Social media is a cesspool of false information and grifters which is a huge problem.
You’re right. We should continue to nominate qualified candidates to head HHS. The same qualified candidates that have been nominated in previous administrations over the last 30 years and have overseen the uniquely American epidemic, the chronic disease epidemic.

Because removing food dyes doesn't do much for your health. Food dyes have been studied extensively, and they have never been conclusively shown to be harmful in vivo at normal doses. This is simply a get-rich-quick scheme to sell unapproved, low-quality "natural" products. If you're serious about your health, you know what to do: reduce sugar and carbohydrate intake and exercise more.
Imagine thinking the food dye is the most dangerous part of sugary cereals. 😂 No child should be ingesting this garbage regardless of dyes.

Except the food dye is in all of our toothpaste and medicine too. Food dye gives my child seizures.
Food dyes nor sugar are inherently bad for you
@@Doman3500 Ha! Just trolling. Did you know food dye is made of petroleum waste? I've seen a child's brain malfunction after consuming it, so say what you want, my experience proves otherwise.
@Lauracom which food dye exactly? Just like everything in this world, people can have bad reactions to anything. Using an exception to the rule to prove that something is bad is idiotic. saying peanuts are bad because peanut allergies exist is dumb. Saying milk is bad because people are lactose intolerant is dumb.
If the giant corporations smear RFK jr and the 'food babe', they must be some sort of threat...hmm...

She probably feeds her kids crap and doesn’t care.
Been following her since her early days of food activism, she’s been wonderful. Hopefully she goes into the administration!!!
She would fit right in. Huge track record of saying “don’t buy this product it has ingredients that are dangerous) and then promotes products that she has brand deals with that have the exact same ingredients. Pure grift. So indeed perfect fit for a Trump administration.

@@dustinsindledecker154No not solved because Americans are grossly unhealthy from the garbage disguised as food and it’s a big problem
@@dustinsindledecker154that is not a solution. People don't understand what they are eating and the manufacturers are taking advantage of that. Your poor logic and everybody else that joins in is why we are still here
There is so much dishonesty in food labeling as well. Food guidelines are out to lunch. Our family essentially does not buy processed food. We buy local beef, catch our own salmon, buy pork from Mennonites, avoid carbs, have our own fruit and bees. I feel the same about big pharma and public health, a deeply dishonest system.
I would be for "Make America Honest Again". We should know whats in the food and where it comes from.
We need more people like this, left and right.
Concern over food dyes in these junk foods is the epitome of missing the forest for the trees.
If you take the artificial dyes out of a sugary carby cereal, it still is a sugary carby cereal. I think the concern over dyes is sort of in-the-weeds and misses the bigger picture.
Sugar and carbs aren't inherently bad for you
Overconsumption of anything is bad for you
@@Doman3500 Correct, but people are not becoming obese from artificial dyes. They are becoming obese from overconsumption.
@@larschapman3329 right. My point of this new demonization if carbs and sugar is based in falsehood
@@Doman3500 I agree that sugars and carbs are not inherently bad (fruits have sugars, for instance), but they are used as key components in the hyper-palatable junk foods that people overconsume.

Is not only food chemicals...is also made of pure sugar.... Which is even more poisonous....to our children (child obesity is epidemic)
And high fructose corn syrup
That isn't how poison works.
Sugar/high fructose corn syrup/soy in everything is a problem. I just don't want the Gov to subsidize these ingredients. Also the FDA approved list of food additives has ballooned over the last decade +. Questionable that we have data on all those ingredients and their safety for extended use/consumption.

People should really read the article shown @13:00 . Plenty of links. The American Council on Science & Health (ACSH) does indeed appear to take lots of corporate $$.
So glad to see people "on all sides" getting behind this. Nobody wants toxic chemicals in food.
Simple solution, don’t buy Kellogg!
This is so important! This reporting is needed.
LOVE IT. DOCTORS NEED TO BE Prescribing GYM memberships, exercise, and diets over pills or other drugs
Can also prescribe some PTO for that?
Only someone who doesn’t work in healthcare would say this. I have a lot of criticisms for our healthcare and food policies, but this is exactly what doctors have been recommending forever. 90% of patients aren’t interested in lifestyle changes. Everyone wants quick and easy when it comes down to it, give me a pill or injection and send me on my way.
1) Doctors DO. It's the baseline. Some people are profit hungry and evil, in any category. 2) some people need drugs (not necessarily to lose weight, but definitely to manage symptoms or promote healing). 3) The new trend of ozempic like drugs is bad because it can limit the supply for people who need it and it reinforces toxic diet culture and EDs. Simply shouting about how to lose weight without medicine is almost purposefully obtuse, and reinforces that same toxic diet culture.
4) even doctor perspective and medical research is dubious or negative on most popular diets. Stop shouting things at people. You're not helpful.
Orthopedists consistently and constantly prescribe physical therapy and exercise for muscular skeletal medical issues. BUT I’m sure you don’t think that everything is cured through just diet and exercise alone. If that were true, our life expectancy would not have increased significantly over the past century.
I am so glad that we are getting RFK on this. What an amazing election
I was sick for many years on 11 prescriptions a day. Had to go outside of the US healthcare system to get well. The issue is healthcare is a for profit business in the US so there is no money in people being healthy. Us getting healthy = lost profit. We need our government to regulate food (which is medicine) and healthcare like other countries do. All for capitalism but it’s killing people so we need balance. Only thing to do for yourself is to only eat whole one ingredient foods which really aren’t nutrient dense due to the soil from mono cropping.
Glad you remediated and cured your sickness. What you're saying is right. All they care about is profit. They don't economically benefit from pushing natural remedies. They don't economically benefit from pushing real nutrition and exercise. They can't control people if they're not sick. A diseasefree society is an unenslavable society.
11 prescriptions a day is insane even if you were 80. The most I've ever been in my life here in Australia is two and that would be like a course of two meds to attack one illness for example, never ongoing. They still don't try that hard to teach you lifestyle changes here, but they don't prescribe heaps of medication in my experience.
@ doctors offices here are filling with pharmaceutical reps pushing their drugs and they give the doctors kickback payments for writing a certain # of prescriptions for them.
I must say- what Trump is doing with the dept of justice is good but for the average person- RFK/ MAHA will be a turning point .
I'm a bit conflicted with some of her statements. I never heard her credibly defend her beliefs that these "chemicals" or GMO's in our foods are in fact bad for you. She should present her sources of research on these ingredients and should have been asked at the start of the interview where she gets these beliefs from. To just scream that these things are poison as if it's fact turns me off.
Wow, so you believe it isn't poisonous, go and check if they are allowed in Europe...they aren't.
I mean...they were convicted in a court of law. The evidence was carefully reviewed at that time over many weeks. You aren't seriously going to study the papers closely and carefully enough to get a real answer anyway.
I am a scientist. It takes me at least 10 hours with a paper to figure out if it's something like the truth. If someone just send me one, I have no idea whether it is honest, or something funded by corporations to look like science...and I do this for a living. I'm not really sure what you hope to get from the "sources". Are you going to do their statistical analysis over again from the raw data? It's extremely easy to change the result by changing the way the statistical analysis is done. There is also widespread straight up data fraud, you would have no way of knowing whether that occurred.
Anyway, 2 billion dollar judgements against corporations with elite lawyers don't happen by accident. It's more than enough for me to say I'd rather just hedge my bets and eat something else.

This is the only smart and productive comment I’ve read on here.
James Li is typically on the right side of the argument but fails to deliver any meaningful conversation because his experts are just fucking bloggers with no evidence.
Thank you for listening to RFK. He may be wrong about some things, but his genuine concern far exceeds what anyone else is doing to hold companies accountable for what they put in our food. Thank you, Food Babe and James Li!
Idk, getting Kellogg to remove dyes seems like it misses the point... The "food" they make, with or without dyes, is not good for you! Why waste time trying to get them to make it a little bit better when people shouldn't be eating it at all!?
It’s freedom of choice. There are a lot of things that aren’t good/healthy for us, but those dyes are poison. I’m guessing RFK would ban the dyes and Kelloggs will have to change the recipe

Is it better to make a living off of something you believe in, or something you don't? Everyone has to put food on the table and pay the bills. What would make her a hypocrite is if she were profiting off the toxins while pretending to fight them. Like some of our corrupt regulators do. If she believes in healthy alternatives, it makes sense to try and market a product she actually believes in and get more people to love healthier in the process.
She def was doing a lot of self promotion
YAWN!
@@__RobShe actually has history of doing just that. She’s said beauty products were dangerous because of certain ingredients and then promoted products that had the same ingredients. But she got a kickback from the brands she promoted. So those must be fine!
You shouldn’t just trust her, you should research it yourself. Be careful though, if this comment section is any evidence, then big food is really scared of people wanting the poison they put in our food out and will do anything to trick us into keeping them in the food supply.
Find healthcare scientists/ experts with the credentials to back the healthy food movement. For example, why not harness the power of European “experts,” who can show in-the-field data results - healthy lifestyle outcomes.
Out maneuver corporate establishment opposition. Reference credentialed scientists in support of the heathy food revolt. Publish widely the hard data!
Advocate European scientists may cast some shame and stimulate competition, in challenging “American exceptionalism?”
That data has been around for eons 50 6070 years ago. This is not new. This information is well known both here in the United States as well as the EU. She is simply redressing this lifelong issue.
The insane part is that the American versions aren't even cheaper.
Since its founding 118 years ago Kellogg’s has always prided itself as a company that is committed to selling healthy food, and managing one of the largest philanthropic foundations in the world. Exposing the corporation as an organization that acts in a way that is opposite to what it preaches, is not what they want to public to hear. Portraying Kellogg’s as being dishonest to its customers, certainly will make them feel uncomfortable.
The Food Babe has a lot of leverage to get the company to do what’s right.
Don't fool yourself. Even without the additives, almost all of their products are everything but healthy.
Yeah I was hooked on Fruit Loops when I was a kid... The only "healthy-ish" part of Fruit Loops is the milk you add.

Very informative interview. This was an issue brought up inbthe past there was no incentive in the government to make the changes to clean up the food supply.

@@timlee2877 You don't have to have a PhD or MD to be well educated in nutrition. Or to examine claims, read studies, and draw sound conclusions. Food Babe obviously does some hyperbole. "Poison" is a little extreme. But some things she says are true. So, the debunking is in the details.
Oh yes the experts are what got us into this mess and continues to keep feeding us poison but sure, let’s go back to them to fix what they started
I think she needs to change her name, food babe does not sound terribly credible. It also sounds like someone just looking for attention because of her looks. That being said, I have all the respect for her and what she's doing.

I think this is the only breaking points segment I've honestly liked in quite a while. Thank you James
Imagine feeding a child fruit loops everyday for breakfast and then when they get fat and unhealthy you get mad at the cereal brand for using artificial dyes.
Exactly. Americans have a lifestyle (diet and exercise) problem, not an ultra processed food ingredients problem. What are the risks of developing chronic illness in a child whose diet is 80% nutrient dense food (fruits, veggies, lean proteins, etc) and 20% foods like Fruit Loops? Probably pretty low. Diet and inactivity are at the root of our epidemic, not dyes and additives.

90% of Americans don’t eat enough fruits, vegetables and fiber. Most eat more the recommended amount of added sugar. The food supply isn’t “tainted”.

Our food supply has been compromised for a long time. I hope RFK can efficiently bring back some common sense health laws that other countries are enforcing.
This is probably over the line and well into being counterproductive.
On the one hand, this "food babe" is right that glyphosphate is carcinogenic and should never be allowed near the food supply.
On the other hand, what she gets fantastically wrong is the way that she thinks about expertise. Credentials are a way to gatekeep the conversation about carcinogens and other social ills, true; but they're also a handy way to tell the difference between people who know what they're talking about and people who don't. Quo vadis and follow the money are fine rules of thumb, but they aren't a substitute for being able to speak with literacy about an issue. If you can speak to the substance of the issue and can tell the difference between science and new age guru bullshit, the argument from credentials suddenly loses its force. This is why people like Erin Brockovitch ultimately end up making headway despite not being credentialed experts.
There's a difference between criticizing a bureaucratic power discourse and making a substantive argument about carcinogens. The "food babe" has no idea that that distinction even exists, and keeps trying to conflate one with the other -- much less being able to distinguish an informed argument from rhetoric. This is why she, and RFK, and Alex Jones, and Dr. Oz, and all the rest of them are ultimately going to do more harm than good.
Interesting point but the heads of these boards that train professionals also take money and research from these food companies so even the expert pool is not as informed as we'd like to think. Your taught a framework but rarely does anyone critically challenge their framework to see if it holds up.
It's so refreshing to hear about the real and great things RFK jr has done on these important issues. Krystal would spend most of the video just smearing him and presenting him as a bad person. All while refusing to give him or Trump credit for anything.
Two things can be true.... In general we should err on the side of caution when it comes to food additives. At the same time just because something is banned in another country doesn't automatically mean it is unsafe. And just because vaccines are safe and effective doesn't mean vaccines are the solution to every single viral outbreak. At times government can be compromised by industry and we need outside voices to fight against that, but that doesn't mean we should think that internet personalities and political personalities are substitutes for hard science... Social media is a cesspool of false information and grifters which is a huge problem.
