In this show you’ll learn:
How the lack of testing kits helped the spread of COVID. Why the CDC’s original testing kits didn’t work. The FDA’s role. The official “change” of the FDA in 1962 and how this effects each one of us. How each of us, the average person, can have some input. What the average person can do to help solve some of these problems.Dr. Ruwart wrote a must-have book on how the FDA got to be what it is today, called Death By Regulation: How We Were Robbed of a Golden Age of Health and How We Can Reclaim It.
