RFK Jr: To Your Health!
He is eager to rid our food and water of toxins and our bodies of unneeded medicines or vaccines. He has prayed to God for 20 years for this chance, to save the children.
The assault against his nomination will be epic.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., just named secretary of Health & Human Services by President-elect Trump, is facing a media uproar from the same people who lied to us during the pandemic — telling us that Ivermectin would kill you but the COVID vax was safe and effective — because they prize government power more than citizen health.
The day after his nomination was announced, drug company stocks plummeted on Wall Street. Ever since, K Street’s corporate lobbyists for the entire universe of food and medicine — from hospitals to medical journals to Big Pharma to Big Ag — are sharpening their spears to stop this nomination with any smears or behind-the-scene deals for Senate votes they can find. All the senators they have bribed over the years with campaign cash and business alliance are unlikely to spine up.
He is sanguine about the coming fight.
During the campaign, the Biden White House denied RFK Jr. Secret Service protection — even though both his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and his father, Robert F. Kennedy, had been assassinated. Asked during his presidential run if he feared for his life for taking on Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Government, along with the CIA, an agency he suspects was involved in his uncle’s death, RFK Jr. said: “I’m not stupid about it, I take precautions, but I’m not preoccupied. Dying is not the worst fate. Living as slaves, watching our children lose all the freedoms that so many generations of Americans fought and died to protect, that is.”
This is his mission from Donald Trump: 1/ clean up the corruption and end conflicts of interest, 2/ return the agencies to their gold standard of evidence-based, rigorous science and 3/ end the epidemic of chronic disease among children. Trump told him he wants to see “measurable” progress on chronic disease within two years.
To Americans who worry about their health or that of their children, to medical professionals who think their job is to dispense health instead of medicine, this overhauling of our tarnished health agencies is a no-brainer.
“If we were crushing it, we would not be spending 2x every other country in the entire world and have the lowest life expectancy of any developed country. We are the sickest of the top 11 high-income countries in the world. We have the highest infant and maternal mortality rates, and our life expectancy is 10 years less than our friends in Japan and Switzerland. Americans are tired of being gaslit. We know there is (a problem). Trump has asked RFK reverse the trends of the chronic disease epidemic in two years so that we can show up for our 250th anniversary of America stronger than ever. That sounds pretty good to me.”
Once the Dems believed in science. That was before crazed left-wing gender ideology required the Far Left to declare that men — or chest feeders as they called them — could give birth, that men could become women by donning a dress and changing their pronouns, that mutilating the bodies of young teens was perfectly healthy.
Now they call RFK anti-science.
Once, the GOP was the party of Big Pharma and the Dems the party of natural eating. First Lady Michelle Obama even planted an organic garden at the White House, and, working with food companies, helped rewrite school lunch menus.
But something happened during the pandemic. Maybe we all succumbed to fear.
Suddenly there was an alliance between Biden and the drug companies, a decision by his White House and many Dem governors to go full authoritarian and require vaccine mandates on threat of being fired if you did not comply. Soldiers, health professionals, academics — all lost their jobs because of vax mandates. Denied a religious exemption, Lisa Domski was fired from her job by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. She sued. Last week a Detroit jury awarded her $12 million.
To this day, Pfizer and Moderna are still pushing the vaccine, even though many health officials — notably Florida’s Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladopa — think it dangerous for children, and ineffective for adults. After a delay, even the CDC acknowledged the vax can cause myocarditis and fatal heart attacks in young men.
During the pandemic, anyone who questioned official policy, anyone who pointed out all the COVID injuries, or the ineffectiveness of social distancing or closing schools or wearing masks, was silenced. Even the Great Barrington Declaration — written by infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, suggesting instead “focused protection” for the vulnerable — that too was quashed in a sea of censorship.
Now comes RFK Jr., who came to the cause of children’s health through autism.
In 2005, on a speaking tour for his environmental group Waterkeeper Alliance, Kennedy was approached by several moms who lobbied him to shift his focus to children’s vaccines. “Their tone was always respectful but mildly scolding. They said that if I was serious about eliminating the perils of mercury, I needed to look at thimerosal.” Vaccines, they claimed, were the biggest vector for mercury exposure in children, leading to an epidemic of childhood neurological disorders. A cause was born.
Kennedy started digging and found a tangle of corruption in government regulatory agencies. In his book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” he wrote:
“From the moment of my reluctant entrance into the vaccine debate in 2005, I was astonished to realize that the pervasive web of deep financial entanglements between Pharma and the government health agencies had put regulatory capture on steroids… High-level officials, including Dr. Fauci, receive yearly emoluments of up to $150,000 in royalty payments on products that they help develop and then usher through the approval process. The FDA receives 45% of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry, through what are euphemistically called ‘user fees.’ When I learned that extraordinary fact, the disastrous health of American people was no longer a mystery. I wondered what the environment would look like if the EPA received 45% of its budget from the coal industry!”
As HHS Secretary, he will have power over the FDA, the NIH, the CDC, and some USDA agencies, with access to the scientific data and agency histories that could rattle some of the players. One of the first things Kennedy said after being named was that Trump’s DOJ will launch RICO investigations and prosecute the collusion between medical boards, medical journals and Big Pharma.
The Bulwark called him “an anti-vax nut,” and left-wing media pundits melted down, hysterically predicting that “people would die” because of him. Piers Morgan once ended an interview with RFK after he said the vax was neither safe nor effective and had many dangerous side effects. Morgan insisted that view “is heavily disputed by a lot of top scientists who say that comparative to other vaccines, it was very safe.”
Still pushing those vaccine lies.
MSNBC’s Ari Melber says that RFK Jr cannot be HHS Secretary because he’s “not a doctor, has no health degree, and no relevant experience.” Funny, the current head of the HHS, Xavier Becerra, is a lawyer and career politician with no medical training.
But Making America Healthy Again was one of Trump’s biggest applause lines during the campaign — though the president-elect himself clearly prefers McDonald’s burgers and Coca Cola. In fact the fast food on his plane, said RFK, is “just poison.”
Judging by their memes, Americans intuitively grasp the need to get healthier, like the woman in this one who has put RFK’s photo on her refrigerator door.
For his part, RFK wants fluoride — which studies show can slow brain development in children — removed from public drinking water. He wants immunity ended for vaccine manufacturers. And he wants us to know the European Union has already banned substances — like food dyes — that are still in US processed foods.
The upcoming confirmation hearings will not be about health alone. They will be about the controversies in RFK Jr.’s life —everything from his first wife’s suicide to his decision to leave a dead bear cub in NY’s Central Park. And they will be ugly.
What RFK needs to remember, what Trump’s whole badass brigade of Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz need to channel, is Brett Kavanaugh.
After Trump nominated him to the Supreme Court, the Dems came up with a smear that led to additional hearings. Christine Blasey Ford alleged that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. Kavanaugh denied it. Ford couldn’t remember where it happened, or when, or how she got home afterward.
Kavanaugh was devastated, his reputation in tatters. But Trump never backed down, never suggested he withdraw his nomination. Later, when Kavanaugh was sworn in, Trump said, “On behalf of our nation, I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure.”
That’s our guy, right?
