I keep seeing this narrative around Twitter. People hitting back against other saying the US needs to drop the embargo by saying food and medical supplies are actually allowed.
Can anyone properly debunk this so I don't have to deal with it?

The US laws on the matter have allowed food and medicine from the US to go through since the 90s (I'm pretty sure it was Clinton), and the embargo is largely selectively applied. Cuba is generally self sufficient in these sectors however. The problem arises when something, say like a global pandemic, upsets supply lines in which case Cuba basically has no capacity to purchase food on the international market.
