"In this context, once and future failed gubernatorial candidate Dr. Scott Jensen came off as a relatively reasonable fella. Sure he hauled out Thalidomide as an example of regulatory failure (anything more recent?) and invoked the dreaded name 'Fauci,' and sure he discussed 'observational evidence' about Tylenol and autism.
