    RFK Jr. Targets Corporate Influence at Health Agencies, Vows To Examine Root Causes of Disease

    He's on his way.

    He's determined to Make America Healthy Again!

    [​IMG]

    'Mr. Kennedy is filling in the contours of his vision as he prepares for confirmation hearings as health and human services secretary. He plans to eliminate processed foods in school lunches and target the cozy relationship between industry players and the federal agencies that regulate them.'

    This is known "Agency Capture". By giving them cushy jobs after they serve in Federal Agencies, the industries that the agencies are supposed to regulate, illicitly capture control of the Federal Agencies.

    'Mr. Kennedy, a 70-year-old environmental lawyer, pledges to crack down on pesticides and seed-based cooking oils. He says too many Food and Drug Administration employees are worried about their next jobs instead of the public interest.'

    They need to be focused on the Public Interest.

    On vaccines, he's simply seeking data on how they are approved, which seems to have the vaccine industry collectively crapping their pants.

    'finding the root causes of childhood illness, would be long-term projects.'

    He will be the first Kennedy in a Cabinet Position since his father was AG during the RFK Administration.

    Please discuss.

    Senators Voting on RFK Jr. Raked In Millions From Pharma

    Now we'll see which Senators have sold their office to Big Pharma

    [​IMG]

    'Lawmakers on the Finance Committee will vote first on Kennedy’s nomination after raking in contributions from the pharmaceutical industry.'

    After you regulate us, we'll give you a nice cushy high salary position with our company.

    'HHS holds jurisdiction over the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), making HHS a primary recruitment ground for the pharmaceutical companies’ revolving doors of influence.'

    Don't think that that no GOP senators are sell outs to Big Pharma

    'While most Republican senators have remained largely silent on how they might vote on Kennedy’s confirmation, pharmaceutical lobbyists are almost certainly calling lawmakers after drug money lined campaign coffers of both parties.'

    Some GOP Senators are riding dirty.

    'According to a Federalist analysis of industry donations to members of the Senate Finance Committee compiled by OpenSecrets, pharmaceutical companies contributed more than $6.7 million between 2019 and 2024 to lawmakers who will determine whether Kennedy gets a full vote by the upper chamber. Republican senators took more than twice as much industry money, though five members were excluded from The Federalist’s analysis because two lost their recent races, two are retiring, and one, Sen. George Helmy of New Jersey, was appointed just a little over two months ago.'

    “Every major pillar of the U.S. health care system as a statement of economic fact,” Kennedy added, “makes money when Americans get sick.”

    RFK Jr.'s Plans For Reshaping HHS
    [​IMG]
    supporters are hopeful for far-reaching improvements to Americans’ well-being...

    He's determined to make America Healthy Again!

    'Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on X that Kennedy would be the person to “detox the place after the Fauci era,” in reference to former NIH director Dr. Anthony Fauci. Kennedy and Paul have both been outspoken critics of Fauci’s policies related to vaccines and the public health response to COVID-19.'

    'Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), a medical doctor, recently told reporters that Kennedy has “championed issues like healthy foods and the need for greater transparency in our public health infrastructure.”'

    “I look forward to learning more about his other policy positions and how they will support a conservative, pro-American agenda,” Cassidy said.

    Indeed

    'Cassidy, the ranking member of the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, is expected to chair the committee in the next Congress.'

    People go to work for HHS and later go back to work for the drug companies. RFK is on to something. I wish him luck. Fat people are an epidemic in this country due to snacks. Another good example of companies putting dollars over people is the cigarette companies.

    RFK will end the corrupt revolving door

    [​IMG]

    Trump has give RFK 3 tasks:
    1. Clean up the corruption at the agencies.
    2. Return those agencies to the gold standard of empirically based medicine.
    3. End the epidemic of chronic disease with measurable progress of improvement in childhood disease within two years.

    RFK has a big task in front of him, cleaning out the corruption and Agency Capture:

    'Between 2006 and 2019, 9 out of 10 FDA commissioners went on to work for the pharmaceutical companies they were in charge of regulating.'

    9 out of 10

    'Approximately 65% of the FDA's drug review budget comes directly from the pharmaceutical industry. Americans are the sickest people on the planet, and our health agencies are blatantly compromised. RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement will benefit Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and all people on the planet.'

    Lols! You DO realise this will probably entail

    • banning sugary drinks
    • Attacking the Macdonalds menu
    • Banning “processed foods”
    • Banning food dyes
    • Allowing sale of raw milk (hello bovine TB!!)
    • Banning seed oils (and what will be used instead?)

    But Yep! America will be healthier - funny how this is now acceptable but when Michele Obama tried to get healthier school lunches introduced…………

    He's right about this, but he should have waited to say it until after being confirmed and having the job. Too much money pushing against this message.

    Not just snacks.

    https://www.publichealth.org/public-awareness/obesity/?

    Why Donald Trump would nominate RFK jr, an environmental lawyer, to a position that requires medical and public health credentials is beyond me. The man believes vaccines cause autism which has been totally debunked.

    The man doesn’t understand that we already know the root causes of childhood diseases.

    Vaccines have all but obliterated smallpox and saved children the misery of getting measles, mumps, and rubella. It is ironic that RFK jr is against the one thing that has saved the lives of American children and keeps them healthy while at the same time preaching he is going to make America healthy again.

    A tinfoil head as minister of health. And this is not even the worst choice: Crazy that. But in only four years he cannot replace exact science by tinfoil BS, so I wish him all the best.
    And a Donald Trump who intends to strengthen a state agency, the FDA, to fight corruption, so that the pharmaceutical industries can't buy this agency to run in the direction they like: Crazy that. How could that happen?

    You made the false claim, multiple times, that RFK is anti-vax. He's not. He's fully vaxxed except for COVID, and all of his children are vaxxed.

    He is at least partially responsible for the deaths of 83 Samoans - most of whom were children

    Trump is setting up a Kakistocracy
