Ivanka's kids should be very concerned

[Jared] Kushner had said he was comfortable sending his children back to school, arguing they were “six times as likely” to die from flu as from the virus.

“Well, I don't know where the six times comes from. We need to be careful, I think, about making comparisons to flu. This infection hasn't been as prevalent in children as flu is each year. There's been about 330,000 diagnosed infections,” [Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott] Gottlieb said. “If you believe we're diagnosing 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 infections in children, maybe there have been about 3 million kids who've been infected with this.”

[...]

[H]e noted that in addition to some 90 children’s deaths from the virus, there are indications that it may cause inflammatory post-viral syndromes in children in some case.

And who would notice a little brain dysfunction in a Kushner-Trump offspring?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

There goes another one



Either he was lying then or the online pharma news pub knew something he didn't.
Scott Gottlieb, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, known for his aggressive efforts to regulate the tobacco and e-cigarette industries, resigned Tuesday.

Dr. Gottlieb, whose wife and three children have remained in their Westport, Conn., home since he took office, said he was weary of the commute and missed his family.

Yes, that's it. More time with his family.
“There’s no intrigue here,” he said, adding that he planned to advance the agency’s pending tobacco regulations before he leaves, in about one month.

Dr. Gottlieb had been subject to increasing pressure from some Republicans in Congress and his former associates in the conservative movement, for his tough stance against youth vaping and traditional cigarettes. A coalition of influential conservative groups recently asked the White House to block some of the key parts of the F.D.A.’s strategy to prevent youths from vaping; and Republican Senator Richard Burr blasted the commissioner on the Senate floor for his proposal to ban menthol cigarettes.

Under Dr. Gottlieb’s leadership, the F.D.A. approved a record number of generic medicines, new drugs, and medical devices. The agency also waded into unusual territory for an F.D.A. chief, calling for lower drug prices, and often speaking about the opioid crisis.
A definite problem for the GOP.
