As I typed this, we do not know whether RFK Jr. will be confirmed by the Senate.

It is quite possible that he will not make it, although I certainly hope he does make it through.

fox tail on fire in the Philistine fields. Now, if David Bonson and I were to be put in charge of this

matter, I think we could shake hands on a deal inside of five minutes. I would much prefer RFK at FDA to this, and if we were living
