A ranar 12 ga Yuni, 2025, Sanata Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ya ba da sanarwar gyaran kwas mai ban mamaki. Watanni hudu bayan kai wa Kennedy hari da karfi a zaman sa na tabbatar da majalisar dattijai (da kuma kada kuri'a a kansa), Sanders ya hada hannu da wani kudirin doka mai suna "Ƙarshen Tallace-tallacen Magungunan Magunguna Yanzu Dokar” tare da Sanata Angus King (I-ME), don haramta tallan magunguna kai tsaye zuwa mabukaci a Amurka.

Kamar yadda karuwar yawan Amurkawa suka koya - kuma kamar yadda Sanders ya lura - A halin yanzu ana ba da izinin tallan Pharma a cikin ƙasashe biyu kawai a Duniya: Amurka da New Zealand. Wannan yana ba masana'antar harhada magunguna damar siyan duk manyan kafofin watsa labaru na Amurka yadda ya kamata, tare da dakatar da sukar kafofin watsa labarai game da ayyukansu da samfuransu yayin da suke jefa bama-bamai kan jama'a da yada farfaganda da tallace-tallacen Pharma.

Yanzu, bari mu koma zuwa ƙarshen Janairu, zuwa kwanakin da aka yi a yanzu-Sakataren HHS Kennedy ji na tabbatarwa. A lokacin Kwamitin Majalisar Dattawa kan Lafiya, Ilimi, Kwadago, da Fansho (Taimako) sauraron karar, babban memba na kwamitin Sanders ya kaddamar da mummunan hari kan Sakatare Kennedy na yanzu wanda ya shiga cikin wasan ban dariya. A wani lokaci, Sanders ya buga hotunan wasu jarirai waɗanda Tsaron Kiwon Lafiyar Yara, tsohuwar ƙungiyar sa-kai ta Kennedy, ke siyarwa akan layi.
Yin fushi da fushi a cikin lafazin alamar kasuwancinsa na Brooklyn (kuma yana ƙara karuwa yayin da yake tafiya), Sanders ya nemi Kennedy akai-akai,
"Shin kuna goyon bayan waɗannan ƴan ta'adda? "
Daga baya, Kennedy ya kira Sanders na kamfen ɗin kamfen ɗin Babban Pharma na Sanata, yana mai cewa, "Bernie, kai ne kaɗai mafi girma da ke karɓar dalolin magunguna."
Amma duk da haka, wata huɗu kawai ta wuce, kuma voila, Bernie Sanders yana tallafawa Dokar Ƙarshen Magungunan Magunguna Yanzu, da kuma bincikar suna Kennedy da Trump a cikin hujjojin goyon bayansa game da lissafin.
Shin Sanata Sanders ya sami canjin digiri na 180? Shin Bernie ba zato ba tsammani yana goyan bayan waɗannan abubuwan?
Da kyau, ba da sauri ba.
Kwana ɗaya bayan sanar da lissafin, a ranar 13 ga Yuni, Sanders ya rubuta a wasika zuwa Shugaban Kwamitin Taimako Bill Cassidy (R-LA). A cikin wasikar ya ce:
Kamar yadda kuka sani, a makon da ya gabata, a cikin wani hukunci mai hatsari da ba a taba ganin irinsa ba wanda zai yi mummunar tasiri ga rayuwar jama'ar Amurka, Sakataren Lafiya da Ayyukan Jama'a, Robert F.

Abokin alkalami na Sanders daga ko'ina cikin layin, Bill Cassidy, shi ma ya kasance mai adawa da kokarin Kennedy na kawo sauyi. Ana iya yin bayanin wannan ta gaskiyar cewa da zarar Cassidy ya zama shugaban kwamitin TAIMAKA a 2023, cikin hanzari ya sami raguwar gudummawar Pharma, kamar yadda labarai na Afrilu 2023 STAT suka tabbatar. Labari mai suna, "Masu zartarwa na Pharma suna shawa Bill Cassidy ruwan kamfen." Bisa lafazin Bude asirin, Cassidy ya karɓi sama da $290,000 daga kwamitocin Ayyukan Siyasa na magunguna a cikin 2023-4.
Yayin da Cassidy ya yi kakkausar suka ga Kennedy a lokacin tabbatar da majalisar dattijai, kuma yayin da ya dage kan Kennedy yana yin ganawar wata-wata da shi sau ɗaya an tabbatar da shi, Cassidy a ƙarshe ya zaɓi Kennedy don ya jagoranci HHS. Duk da haka, a wasu muhimman al'amura, Cassidy ya ci gaba da kawo cikas ga aikin Kennedy.
Cassidy ya ha]a hannu da wani Sanata na Republican a kwamitin TAIMAKO, Susan Collins na Maine, don hana wa Trump da Kennedy wanda ya za~a na shugaban CDC, tsohon dan majalisa David Weldon, daga ma zuwa gaban kwamitin. (Weldon yana da zurfin sanin matsalolin da ke tattare da tsarin amincewa da rigakafin.) Daga ƙarshe, nadin Weldon ya kasance. janye ranar Maris 13.
Godiya ga Cassidy, wanda ya maye gurbin Trump don jagorantar CDC, Susan Monarez, har yanzu yana jiran sauraron tabbatarwa, wanda a cewar gidan yanar gizon HELP, an tsara shi a ranar 25 ga Yuni, 2025, fiye da watanni 3 bayan Cassidy ya tilasta wa nadin Weldon jan hankali, kuma abin mamaki a kan batun. rana daya a matsayin tarurrukan ACIP masu zuwa da kuma abin da ake jira. Sauran manyan mukamai na HHS da yawa sun kasance ba a cika su ba har zuwa yau saboda irin wannan jinkirin Majalisar Dattawa a cikin tsarin tabbatarwa.
Ba zato ba tsammani - a zahiri kamar yadda wannan maƙalar za ta buga - ranar 23 ga Yuni, 2025, STAT News ta ruwaito Cassidy ya yi kira da a jinkirta taron ACIP, yana mai da'awar cewa "masu ba da shawara da RFK suka zaba ba su da kwarewa, kuma suna iya nuna son kai ga wasu harbe-harbe."
A zahiri ba za ku iya yin wannan maganar banza ba. Bernie da Bill, waɗannan Sanatoci na Keystone Cop, gashinsu a fili ya ƙone, suna tafiya a fusace ta kowane bangare, a kan umarnin masu Big Pharma, don yin duk abin da za su iya don kawo cikas ga nufin zaɓe.
Amsar da ta dace kuma wacce ta dace, ba shakka, ita ce ga Sakatare Kennedy da ƙwararrun ƙwararrunsa da marasa ɗabi'a (kuma a, su duka biyun) kwamitin zai ci gaba kamar yadda aka tsara, kuma ya ba da ƙimar gaskiya da ma'ana a karon farko a tarihin zamani na ACIP.
