FDA gets 50% of its budget from the pharmaceutical companies and other industries that it regulates

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "You have all of these agencies that are captured, but I know on each of those agencies how to unravel corporate capture. For example, FDA gets 50% of its budget from the pharmaceutical companies and other industries that it regulates. We need to end that."

"NIH, scientists. and NIH itself collect royalties on drugs they develop, so they've gone from being a scientific research agency to becoming an incubator for new pharmaceutical products with a partnership with those agencies, USDA. As I said, and NIH and CDC have created foundations that's illegal for them to take corporate money."

"But they've created foundations that can collect and do collect hundreds of millions of dollars a year in corporate money and pay them off. And we need to end those. We need to end the financial entanglements. And in many of these agencies, I know the specific individuals that need to be moved out immediately. We're going to fire every nutrition scientist."
