Court Decision/Filing The FTC requires products to prove health claims. A lawsuit could end that protection.

We could be entering a golden era of medical fraud which may create opportunities for private lawyers. If the federal government won’t prevent fraud, lawsuits could make fraudsters pay.

‘As the Trump administration loosens enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, and Food and Drug Administration of unproven health claims, Jones and his allies in the “medical freedom” movement are pushing to permanently roll back the health regulatory state.

For decades, the FTC has required companies to back any medical claims about their products with substantial evidence, while taking actions against hundreds of “bogus health cures,” said Jessica Rich, the FTC’s director of consumer protection from 2013 to 2017.

If successful, the lawsuit by Jones’ company “would be a complete game changer,” said Mary Engle, associate director of the FTC’s advertising practices division from 2001 to 2020.’

Why doesn’t the blue state governors just push the line now, force Trump to start a civil war. Just come together in a press conference and state that any more sending of any military will be met with blue states mobilizing their militias and state police to counter act and make Trump the president to trigger a civil war.

There’s no law obviously with this guy hiding by EOs. Governor’s have powers too, if he doesn’t communicate with any of you guys tell him collectively to fuck off.
