In July, he publicly referred to people on SSRI’s and ADHD medications as “addicts.”

    Just to be clear that’s a pretty low blow. There’s so much fucked about the guy without going against addiction, which is a real and devastating illness.

      It’s about the hypocrisy. He’s had real addiction issues and considers blind-tested medicine to be the same. I don’t think anyone that has had a heroin addiction should ever be the top government healthcare voice, no matter their personal recovery. You need to earn that position and his past should completely disqualify him.

        Or anyone whose brain has been eaten by a worm.

          Or anyone [whose] brain has been eaten by a worm.

          I feel like that should be on a questionnaire somewhere. “Have you done these drugs?”, “Is there a worm controlling your brain now?”, “Can we talk to the worm?”, etc
