RFK Jr. and public health

Lots of info is coming out from the nomination hearings. Some examples:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "Today, over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare at $1,500 a month. Most of these members have taken money from the manufacturer of that product, a European company called Novo Nordisk. As everyone knows, once a drug is approved for Medicare, it goes to Medicaid." "And there is a push to recommend Ozempic for Americans as young as six over a condition, obesity, that is completely preventable and barely even existed 100 years ago. Since 74% of Americans are obese, the cost of all of them, if they take their Ozempic prescriptions, will be $3 trillion a year. This is a drug that has made Novo Nordisk the biggest company in Europe." "It's a Danish company, but the Danish government does not recommend it. It recommends a change in diet to treat obesity and exercise. Virtually Novo Nordisk's entire value is based upon its projections of what Ozempic is going to sell to Americans. For half the price of Ozempic, we could purchase regeneratively raised organic agriculture, organic food for every American three meals a day and gym membership for every obese American." "Why are members of Congress doing the bidding of this Danish company instead of standing up for American farmers and children? Because Novo Nordisk is one of the largest funders of medical research, the media and politicians and the medical schools all go along with them."

The hostility @RobertKennedyJr experienced at his hearing was directly proportional to how much Pharma money each Senator received. In fact, each of them simply repeated the same attacks we just saw flood the mass media (all of which were blatant lies). 🧵

Recently, as I show here, a left wing group (created to hide pharmaceutical money) publicly announced a campaign to take RFK down, after which the lines they concocted flooded every news publication and Carolyn Kennedy quoted them as her own to the media. https://t.co/WnKylCTqbj

For example, they (and the senators) kept claiming RFK caused a deadly measles outbreak. In truth, it was due to children being killed by the vaccine, nurses covering it up, and the Samoan government banning it, and until recently no one blamed RFK. https://t.co/MywGMeFs7Z

Remarkably, since the Left wing campaign failed to stop RFK, they then recruited a Right wing dark money group (run by Pence) to help. They attacked RFK for being "too pro-choice" (to splinter Republican votes), while remarkably Democrats attacked him for being too "pro-life."

Similarly, during the hearings, the Democrats not only attacked him for being too Pro-life, but also tried to paint him as supporting abortion, climate change and Medicare for all to pressure Republicans not to confirm him. I have never seen something like this in my lifetime.

Senator Warner relentlessly attacked RFK for 17 minutes with each of the industry talking points. As it happens @MarkWarner got $654,210 from Big Pharma.

At RFK's hearing @SenWarren relentless attacked RFK and accused him of endangering America by "selfishly" making it possible to sue vaccine manufactures for producing injurious products. This is insane, until you remember she's the #2 pharmaceutical money recipient in the Senate

During RFK's hearings @SenatorHassan made a series of baseless and hysterical accusations, and like her colleagues focused on tried to brand RFK as pro-choice so Republicans would not confirm him. It turns out she's already received $467,999 from the pharmaceutical industry.

It thus should come as no surprise all of these sold out Senators concluded RFK was not fit to run the HSS—even though they received immense pushback from their constituents and donors.

That said, while most of this was immensely frustrating to watch, @BernieSanders inadvertently had one of the funniest moments in Congressional history when he became enraged RFK would not denounce antivax onsies. Turns out Sanders got $1,953,613 from Pharma.

Given all of this, it should not at all surprise you that the Senators who have gotten the most money from the pharmaceutical industry were also the Democrats who recently pushed some of the most abhorrent medical policies in history.

I can only imagine what it's been like for @RobertKennedyJr to have to fight against this corruption and people who routinely sell us out to make money.

All of this has to change and I've dedicated myself to exposing to widespread Pharma corruption, disastrous medications and life-changing therapies the medical cartel buried. If you want to support this mission please give me (@MidwesternDoc) a follow! https://t.co/7cYL4P8y28
