Column 488 January 3, 2025
In spite of the negativity of the MSM, search engines, academics, medical professionals, Democrats, government agents and employees in the CDC, NIH, etc., politicians, and their followers—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a positive influence for most Americans. Not only does he talk common sense, present ideas that can help people live longer, fights the deep state, is a fierce defender of peer-reviewed science, but he is well known to many because of his highly footnoted book: “The Real Anthony Fauci.”1
RFK is not a vaccine denier as so many say. That’s because he is fully aware of the difference between real science and phony science. When it comes to vaccines, he demands that all of them must pass rigorous testing for safety and the highly promoted covid vaccine, that was rushed to market without proper testing, has caused serious harms while being ineffective. He is concerned that questions regarding autism have been ignored. Is there a connection between autism and too many childhood vaccines? He seeks honest, independently researched answers rather than whitewashed studies that are designed to support political and pharmaceutical agendas. He also thinks pharmaceutical companies must be liable for harms their drugs cause and that they should not advertise in the media.
He is warning Americans that many of the foods they eat are lacking in nutrition and some are often contaminated with harmful substances. He points out that in Europe many ingredients, food additives, and agricultural chemicals that are commonly used in America are outlawed. As a result, Europeans generally weigh less and are healthier. That lowers their healthcare costs even though they live longer.
Another very important factor RFK emphasizes is exercise. At 70 years of age he’s an above average example of fitness (mentally and physically) as he has willingly demonstrated. He’s the exact opposite of some of the grotesque administrators that were selected by the Biden administration. When RFK says his mission is a healthier America as in “Make American Healthy Again”—he means it and is a good example.
RFK was selected by Trump to head up of the Department of Health and Human Services. That department oversees 11 agencies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).2
“For too long, Americans have been [abused] by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump posted on social media. “Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
Then how did U.S. News and World Report cover this great announcement? They said “Kennedy, who suspended his own independent and at times bizarre campaign for the White House and endorsed Trump in August, has a history of spreading discredited theories on vaccines and other public health issues. His nomination was met with ‘dread’ and ‘uncertainty’ among public health specialists.”
As you can see, as with most leftists organizations, USNWR did not mince words in trying to make RFK look like a moron that’s out to destroy the credibility of the agencies under the Department of Health and Human Services. It did not mention that, without question, those agencies lied to the public repeatedly during the pandemic with discredited studies and political dictates that caused more harms than good. In addition, for decades the government’s unscientific nutritional guidelines have been ridiculed by independent nutritionists. For example, the “official” war on meat, animal-based foods, and animal fats versus the government’s promotion of vegetable oils, breads, cereal, and pastas is totally insane. Yet like a bunch of stooges, we the people are to believe that the medical establishment and its political backers don’t need reforming.
Even before he’s been confirmed by the Senate for the position, RFK is already inspiring Americans to pay more attention to their health and well-being. Many retail business that focus on better nutrition are seeing a pickup in business from new customers. It’s certainly not overwhelming, but it’s a noticeable improvement. Maybe it’s because some people are feeling better about the future. But without a doubt, Americans are hearing RFK talk about adopting a healthier lifestyle and that alone has had a positive impact.
I’ve written hundreds of articles on nutrition based on peer-reviewed studies. Many have told the same story that RFK tells us which is the government, pharmaceutical industry, Big Ag, and the food processing industry are the main influencers behind what we eat and how medical science will cure our ailments. Through lobbyists we hear the recommendations of marketers of drugs and convenient, processed foods but not the scientists.3
In other words, it’s like Fauci’s many lies where he said he’s the science as he was paying off scientists to write studies that over time failed to pass peer review. Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, reports that “Ed Dowd says we just added a fresh 800,000 disabled people to the four million disabled since the CV19 shots were introduced. The total amount of disabled people in the US from the CV19 vax now stands at 4.8 million.” That is the state our government is in now: totally phony and self-serving.4
Unless there is a major fiasco in selecting a Speaker of the House, in a few more weeks the hearings for Trump’s new cabinet picks will be underway. Then we’ll see just how much the leftists and RINOs hate the man that may be one of Trump’s best cabinet picks.5
To your health.
