A former CDC scientist whose work was used to tell you vaccines don’t cause autism just pleaded guilty to fraud.
A man who stole taxpayer-funded research money and forged documents helped produce research Americans were told to trust without question.
@EricLDaugh@naomirwolf Pretty impressive record on this and a lot of topics. FL will be in a better position for years to come because of his leadership.
American death rates reached a record low in 2025.
After a decade of decline, 2025 saw the highest life expectancy increase ever.
Obesity is declining for the first time in modern history.
Pharmaceutical prices saw largest decline ever.
This is the direct legacy of RFK.
@anishmoonka Sometime, not all the time, it’s a good practice to embrace the idea that we don’t know all of the answers. History has shown it over and over again. A lot of innovation has come as a result.
@ericcrawford@_EthanMoore Years ago, you wrote an article about the value of Tom Jurich’s work at UofL, if it had been in the private sector. This was around the time of Ramsey’s exit. Any chance you could share that one with me?
I’ll reply knowing that I’m not likely to changed your opinion. Not because I think you’re hard headed, but I know when we get deep rooted in a belief it’s hard to consider alternatives.
I will ask though, have you ever heard him specifically say he was against the measles vaccine? I’ve heard him say dozens and dozens of times that he isn’t. Admittedly, I have listened to him speak for literally hours at a time while he was a guest on various podcasts. I have a lot of travel time on my hands.
I’d just ask that you listen to his words in this 3 minute answer to a reporters question about the reported deaths in Lancaster, PA. Everyone won’t agree with what he says first because it may go against their politics, but he makes his position on the measles vaccine very clear. It’s the same answer I have heard him give over and over.
He is clearly someone who questions authority. If you said he isn’t convinced that all the vaccines on the childhood schedule have gone through the most rigorous testing, I’d have to agree with you. He has said that. Maybe that opinion alone makes you believe he is anti-vax. To me it is more nuanced.
RFK Jr. points out that measles has become a massive media story while more than 1 million Americans die every year from food induced illness.
He says the focus is being pulled away from what is really killing Americans.
“In 10 years there have been 3 measles deaths in America.”
“There are now about 1.2 million deaths every year from food induced illness.”
“The media and certain demagogue politicians are constantly trying to scare us about infectious disease.”
“We take the attention away from the chronic disease that is being caused by powerful entities, by Big Food and by Big Pharma.
“What I’m trying to do as HHS Secretary, one, deal with the infectious disease outbreaks, which we’re doing, but also redirect attention and resources to the thing that’s really killing Americans.”
A woman one month into a new job at the FDA was handed an application to approve a sleeping pill. It looked routine. They gave it to her because she was new and it seemed like an easy one to start on.
She read the file and something was missing. No evidence at all that the drug was safe in pregnancy, and it was being sold as a remedy for morning sickness. The drug was thalidomide, and West Germany was getting through a million doses a day.
Frances Kelsey asked for more data. The company sent representatives to her office, then telephoned her at all hours, then went over her head to her supervisors. Between them they contacted her and her boss around fifty separate times. She later said most of what they called her could not be printed. Ten million tablets were already sitting in warehouses waiting for her signature.
She said no six times. And while she held the line, doctors in Germany and Australia were piecing together what was happening to babies whose mothers had taken it. Limbs that had never formed, hands and feet attached directly at the shoulder and hip, in at least 4,000 children across Europe. The company withdrew its American application in 1962.
Seventeen cases turned up in the United States, all from free samples doctors had handed out before any approval. Without her it would have been thousands.
Congress passed a new law that same year requiring companies to prove a drug is both safe and effective, and requiring informed consent from anyone in a trial. Those rules are now used worldwide. Kennedy gave her the highest civilian award in the country and she was the second woman ever to receive it. She stayed at the FDA another 45 years and died in 2015 at 101.
Every American woman handed a pill in pregnancy is downstream of one woman refusing to sign a form six times while men shouted at her.

I just watched 2 hours of CNN.
They ran 3 stories about Trump voting by mail in the Florida primary.
Zero stories about David Morens, the Fauci right-hand-man, pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States, for destroying COVID evidence at the behest of Fauci.
David M. Morens — who worked under Anthony Fauci from 2006 to 2022 — admitted he hid government communications to skirt public records laws and thwart inquiries into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/RVd1ukSvic
No kidding - it turns out the conspirators were Fauci and friends, not the people who criticized the pandemic response - who could have imagined 🥳
What this means is that Covid was almost certainly the result of a lab leak, to be more precise of research funded by Anthony Fauci, who brazenly declared it "worth the risk", and took it to China because Obama wisely paused this dangerous research in the US.
But it also means that the entire Covid response, an intense dramatization of the actual risk, was both a way to disarm any debate about the origins ("we are in an emergency situation in which freedom of speech doesn't apply") and a way to capitalize on that dangerous research on a fast track by selling us a vaccine now presented as indispensable. Is it necessary to add that it was a way to make billions in the process?
A "dramatic" situation, I might add, that the media embraced heart and soul because what sells better than tragedy? And what doctor wouldn't enjoy being breathlessly interviewed from morning to evening, as long as they indulged in a bout of virtue signaling and wise lecturing about the new opium of the intellectuals, aka, "the vaccine"? Not to mention our rulers, who have been gushing at ever wider restrictions of public freedoms in the name of "protection." Thank you so much, dear governments.
We live in societies that embraced such a phony ploy without a blink. We have a lot of soul searching to do indeed...
PS: Oh, and please spare us the "But we didn't know!'" argument. If you supported the censorship of the people who did know and were silenced, you have no right to invoke innocence now.

After an FBI investigation with our DOJ partners, Dr. Fauci’s associate, David Morens, just pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a scheme to avoid FOIA requests and the Federal Records Act connected to COVID-19 research grants.
The FBI uncovered that Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, Co-Conspirator 2, and others conspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud the United States after the National Institutes of Health terminated Co-Conspirator 1’s grant.
NIH terminated the grant, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.
Mr. Morens and his co-conspirators then agreed in writing to intentionally hide their communications from public view by corresponding through Morens’s personal Gmail account rather than his official NIH email account.
This FBI investigation remains ongoing. No one is above the law.

In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets.
People rejected this.
We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive.
The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.
The guy did so much damage to the trust of the American medical industry. It may take generations to recover. Yet, he still has people ready to defend him and bash the people who recognized it months into the pandemic.
