Last of the famous international screw ups.
To answer your point yes I will feel easier when it gets FDA approval but still would like to see what happens over a 4-5 year period.The entire tweet is based on a blatantly flimsy false equivalence. "Big Pharma" has nothing to do with doctors suggesting that pregnant woman abstain from drinking alcohol or unpasteurized juice.
To her larger point, this sudden devotion to the FDA among people with her beliefs is a typically disingenuous rhetorical trick. The FDA approves the tobacco that you smoke in the cigarette that gives you cancer. The FDA considers it acceptable to ingest the cancerous glyphosate pesticides that sit on your produce. There is nothing inherently altruistic or honest about anything that the FDA does. When the full approval comes sometime after the summer (disregarding the fact that the vaccines are currently approved for emergency use), will it put your mind at ease? Or will you simply invent a new reason for your apprehension?
Candace Owens was a low-level liberal blogger who was fortunate enough to stumble into unintentional favor with conservatives. Like any good opportunist, she saw an open door and ran through it (shedding her meager principles in the process). She hocks disingenuous opinions to people desperate for chum. I suspect she laughs at people like you and rifke all the way to the bank. As Dave Chappelle said, "I can't think of a worse way to make money."
So, while I understand that you think you've got me cornered when you accuse me of resorting to a lazy ad hominem in not addressing her "points," it's completely absurd not to consider the source when bothering to be analytical about these things. She's a notorious bad faith actor. That isn't irrelevant.
As to Candace herself, since you've gone on and on about her personality making the erroneous assumption that I am a fan. I'm not, I agree I think she is someone who is a grifter and is a bad look for Conservatism. Good examples of this were her shouting match with Blair White on Dave Rubin's show and the Joe Rogan show, Joe really ran rings around her that day. Signing on to work with the Con Inc. king himself Ben Shapiro should tell anyone all they need to know about her.
However unlike you I don't have to like/agree with someone's personality in order to agree with them if they make a point I believe to be valid. This kind of weird tribal thing where both sides are in their camps and that means that whatever someone says form the other camp you MUST disagree with, because they are just a terrible person etc etc seems terribly reductive to me and not very forward thinking.
