    Man, I wish I could say the same about medical device professionals. I left this job but I was a sr engineer under a manager who has been working in med devices for 30+ years.

    Back when the whole hydroxychloroquine thing was being spouted by Trump, manager who has TONS of experience about why the FDA does testing and safety testing in medicine, would regularly tell us that we should demand our doctors give us hydroxychloroquine and we should take it along with multiple vitamin D pills a day, etc. he would tell us how he’d NEVER been sick despite us all knowing he was the type who came in constantly with a cough/sneeze fit.

    He also had a bunch of idiotic takes on the 2016 election (I escaped before getting to hear his 2020 versions).

    He was a shitty manager but the FDA thing was the one area where I was like “damn you’re even idiotic in our area of expertise”. He wasn’t the only one there who was a MAGA dope either unfortunately
