Why is funding for the CDC, NIH, FDA, vaccine research being slashed across the board?
What are they going to replace it with?

Faith-based healing? Prayers?

Ask Google. You think we have economists and lawmakers here?

Oil applications and a cold shower. "walk it off".

They have enough money. The only problem is they're now trying to fearmonger the public with claims that it'll cost American lives, just so they can try to shame people into looking the other way as individuals continue to skim off the top.

Who says anything about replacements?

Republicans are all about "everything to the rich, everyone else doesn't matter". That's why they want to get rid of everything that doesn't benefit the top 0.0001% or so.

Oh, so you know how much it costs to run them? Or are you just parroting what you've been told?

Pretty sure you do!
But you only want their formalism, not ideals.

Republicans are in control and they advocate for smaller federal government in favor of greater state rights as a general rule. This is on the basis of a Madisonian view of reading the welfare clause and the necessary and proper clause as being narrowly tailored to things that relate to the other ennumerated powers, lest the enumeration of powers becomes redundant and meaningless as a means of restraining the federal government's authority. Under this interpretation of law, many of the federal institutions shouldn't exist in the first place, or play a far more limited strictly advisory role. They would be replaced with nothing on the federal level, because they are unconstitutional.

They might be replaced with equivalent state laws in accordance to 10th amendment principles. Anything that is not in the jurisdiction of the federal government falls to the jurisdiction of the states or the people, so either the states legislate their own U.C.C. (Utah Commications Commision) or C.F.D.A. (California Food & Drug Aministration), or the people get the right to decide how to conduct themselves in lieu of that. The assumption is that laws that are needful in all 50 states would be independently adopted in all 50 states, with some degree of variation in the exact provisions on an as-needed basis.

Mind you, the Madisonian interpretation is not the standing jurisprudence of law. There is an alternative Hamiltonian interpretation based on words he wrote in support of making a federal reserve bank which represents a much broader grant of authority, and the courts favoring this interpretation is why these institutions are allowed to exist. It wasn't always that way mind you. That's why F.D.R. threatened to pack the courts. The idea was that if he added more judges to the supreme court, he could diminish the influence of the sitting justices in deciding the outcome of rulings, and nominate those which agreed with his interpretation of law to force favorable rulings through anyway. This is also why these institutions are allowed to exist. The courts ultimately did an about-face on their Madisonian views and overturned them with more Hamiltonian interpretations.
Trump and Republican don't care about the American people, is why.
why does fda get funded i think its 40% by the corporations who make drugs, and teh leaders of the fda come from the corporations that want the drugs to be passed by the fda

Why do they receive such massive amounts of funding yet the rates of chronic illness have done nothing but increase and increase year after year?
We are becoming less healthy and they clearly aren't doing a whole lot to stop it. Especially with the FDA allowing blatantly toxic ♥♥♥♥ to remain in and on our food.

The FDA can't force people to eat better.

The FDA can ban the litany of things that are banned in most other developed countries, like what RFK is trying to do.
They could have always done that, but they are heavily bribed by big food and big pharma.
the corpos that are regulated by the fda pay for the fda and lead the fda, its really really dumb.
RFK Jr. 'Jr.' The real (Worm)Brains behind the operation will take away all those nasty vaccines, antibiotics, anti-virals, drugs, and all other forms of so called 'real medicine' that the CDC, NIH, FDA only believe in because of 'evidence', 'studies', 'overwhelming scientific consensus' and 'reality'.

Once all of the things that merely drastically reduced all forms of disease and early mortality are done away with then everyone can get the ultimate solution to all of life's health related issues!

Their very own personal.. Brain-Worm! You won't have to worry about any health problems or pesky things like 'thinking' ever again!
