'Are mRNA Vaccines Safe and Effective?'
When asked at a Senate hearing whether she thinks mRNA vaccines are safe and effective, CDC Director-nominee Erica Schwartz replied, “I do believe that mRNA technology is safe and effective.”
Both the question and the answer show a serious lack of scientific understanding.
Here’s the scientifically accurate answer to the question: We don’t know the full safety profile of either of the two types of approved mRNA vaccines or the technology. First, It’s all too new. Second, we’re not even collecting the full data.

I met a gentleman from Syria tonight who said, “You know, I never knew what this autism was you all have here. We don’t have that in Syria. You never see it Where the kids are screaming and hitting.”
I then go to a different event at a restaurant where a young dad sits down with his autistic 4-5 year old son. They are here for maybe 15 minutes total. The child is screaming bloody murder and hurls every glass dish onto the floor in a crash. The dad gets the iPad out but nothing is working. They didn’t even get to order. The dad is embarrassed and I can tell doesn’t want to bother others dining. So he puts his son back into his stroller and leaves.
It is important to understand that this debilitating, non-verbal autism epidemic is increasing at alarming rates. Now 1 in 12 boys in California. We don’t have to live like this. What is happening to our kids is a travesty. Pray for families of severely autistic children and for activists who have been calling attention to this for decades. Something is happening. And it’s not genetic.
My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.
A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."
The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.
So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.
Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.
My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.
Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.
This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.
Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.
That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.
The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.
Dr. Andrew Huberman just confirmed a “wild conspiracy theory” about incandescent lights and LED bulbs.
The long wavelengths found in incandescents increase your metabolism and “charge your mitochondria.”
Conversely, the LED bulbs that most of you have in your house are “causing disruptions in mitochondrial function.”
DR. ANDREW HUBERMAN: “Your mitochondria function better, you increase ATP production, your metabolism increases in the presence of red light, long wavelength light to the skin.”
“Shine long wavelength light on somebody, watch blood glucose levels in a blood glucose test, and it’s blunted.”
“Now, the LED lights that are commonly used now… that short wavelength light, in the absence of long wavelength light, has been shown to damage the mitochondria.”
“This used to be considered crazy. This was like chemtrail crazy, right?”
“But now we’re starting to see from animal studies and human studies, from Glenn Jeffreys and others, that people’s vision gets better when they get in front of an incandescent bulb once a day.”
“If they get sunlight, which also has long-wavelength light, your vision improves because of improvements in mitochondria.”
The Biden administration quietly pushed incandescents out of the market through aggressive energy regulations.
But you can still find them online today if you look hard enough.
If that health insight stood out to you, there’s a lot more where that came from.
The redemption that's possible through God is one of the most amazing things in this life.
He has a plan for each and every one of us, and I've been lucky enough to see the most important people in my life benefit from his grace.
Medical freedom must be a legislative priority in Texas.
Texas led the country in Covid tyranny when Houston Methodist started mandates with Abbott’s blessing on 4/1/21 - five months before Biden.
Time to course correct and lead the country in medical freedom.
The best discovery of our road trip has been a musician called Ella Langley. We had never heard of her before, but after hearing her on pretty much every country radio station, we’ve become big fans. She’s basically the soundtrack of our trip.
This is a fight that affects every American - because it could happen to you. It could be your child lying there, while hospital administrators, judges & flawed doctors try to end her life. Let Annelise go to a hospital that respects sanctity of life.
@elonmusk@lapointe_t40190 There is literally nothing in the whole wide world greater than having kids.
Nothing compares. Nothing comes close.
It’s the best thing you can do as a human.
There's a 911 in Upstate New York!! Ain't that right @GovKathyHochul ?? Kathy, why do you hate Upstate farmers so much? Let's see what America has to say about this, shall we? If you stand with American Farmers, hit REPOST. Volume UP!👇
