Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services has sent Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax shares crashing. The Mail has more.
Moderna stock tumbled 7% following the announcement of RFK Jr. as his most senior health chief, as Pfizer’s fell 3% and Novavax saw its shares drop 5%.
The idea of one of the country’s foremost vaccine sceptics heading up health policy has many health experts in Government nervous, but he has earned praise from the Left and Right for his plans to crack down on harmful food ingredients that aren’t allowed abroad and emphasise exercise and healthy eating over taking pills.
As HHS boss, Kennedy would be in charge of America’s three healthcare agencies — the CDC, FDA and the NIH — and would have the power to bring in many of those changes and more.
Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” tapped into the frustration at the fact that the U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other country yet is among the sickest, with a lower life expectancy than peer nations like the U.K., Canada and Australia.
He claims this contradiction is being driven by corporate interests putting profits over Americans’ health when it comes to vaccines, medications and food and drink.
Kennedy has promised to purge swathes of the workforce at the country’s health agencies and stem the revolving door of staff leaving to lobby for food and drug companies.
This is how he could overhaul America’s health if his appointment is confirmed by the Senate, which is now made up of a majority Republicans:
Focus on prevention and non-pharma interventions
Kennedy wants to move the U.S. from a reactive healthcare system that treats people once they’re sick, to a preventive healthcare system that tries to stop diseases emerging in the first place.
He wants to extend Medicaid and Medicare budgets to cover visits to functional medicine doctors, which aim to treat people through nutrition and exercise rather than pharmaceuticals.
This taps into the idea promoted by Kennedy that drug companies have an interest in keeping someone unwell rather than improving their health. …
Kennedy has also suggested devoting half the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget to researching alternative healthcare, and devoting more federal funding to determining why people are getting sick.
Vaccine shake-up
Kennedy has previously claimed “no vaccine is effective” and suggested childhood vaccines could be driving rising autism rates.
He has also previously floated the idea that schools with vaccine requirements should be defunded.
He appeared to back away from that stance earlier this week, however, but left the door open to making some vaccines non-compulsory.
He told NBC News: “If vaccines are working for somebody, I am not going to take them away. People ought to have a choice, and that choice ought to be informed by the best information, so I’m going to make sure that safety studies and efficacy studies are out there and people can make individual assumptions whether that product is going to be good for them.” …
Crack down on food
Kennedy repeatedly hammers the food industry, saying it is “mass poisoning” the American public.
He has promised to ban ultraprocessed food from schools and provide families “with safe food and end the chronic disease epidemic plaguing our children”.
He also wants to ban harmful ingredients that are illegal in food abroad.
He has only explicitly mentioned Yellow 5, but similar ingredients that could be under the microscope are Red 40, Blue 1, titanium dioxide, propylparaben and potassium bromate, which are often added to sweets and baked goods. …
Eliminate fluoride in drinking water
Kennedy has vowed to remove fluoride from the public water supply if elected within his first day in office.

The whole point of the “green revolution” is to decrease land efficiency this enriching the like of Charles Windsor. If you splatter farmland in low yielding energy, two things happen. Energy prices and food prices both increase. Land owners despise the industrial revolution as it abruptly ended serfdom and resulted in lower prices. Fundamentally these ppl are disciples of the brain dead Malthus and hate humanity succeeding.
Exactly. Wealth and power is still in the hands of the Crown, Landowners and the Church plus ca change …..
If they are disciples of Malthus, that explains why a push for relaxed controls on euthanasia accompanies these policies.
I think they have been doing that on the quiet for a while now before the Lockdowns. They seem to be pushing DNR orders on anyone that is trusting enough to agree. Then we have PATHWAYS in 2020. I suggest looking on UK Column website for the video. Playing God.
Yes but Charles only owns land in this country. ——-What is the rest of the western worlds excuse?
Here’s a repeat of a note I posted earlier in News Roundup:

Fishy doing a fabulous job of destroying the country. Once Kneel gets on the scene the job will be almost finished.
Also a Labour government taking orders from the WHO with sweeping new powers should worry us all.
Not that people should worry themselves sick, that helps nobody. Reminds me of one of those dodgy criminals in the comedy Bread, one always says, “I’m only doing this so I can make enough to retire to that little cottage”…..I’m dubious about any future these days.
We are given the feeble excuse by the feeble minded planet savers that if you question any of the so called “science” of climate change then you are simply making excuses for or work for “Big Oil” or “Big Coal”. —-These feeble minded easily manipulated dreamers and all the not so feeble minded, who are either part of the political class of pretend to save the planet con artists or the business people that profit from farming all the taxpayer subsidies will tell you that the Fossil Fuel Industry “denies” climate change because they are trying to protect the profits they make from their evil industry, even though the evil industry has lifted two thirds of the world’s population out of abject poverty and given them better health and longer lifespans, a high standard of living that previous generations could only dream of and lots of leisure time. So this evil fossil fuel industry has an “agenda” ——-Incredibly though, so convinced of their own moral superiority are these people that they never even suspect for one second that the GREEN Industry has an agenda. They most certainly do. That agenda is Sustainable Development and its main means of achieving this eco socialist world—–NET ZERO. Where a multi Trillion dollar Industry can only exist if there is a climate emergency, and it matters not a jot if there is not a shred of evidence for one. So who are the con artists then? The fossil fuel Industry that has given us everything we now have so we can sit on our comfy couches in our centrally heated houses with a laptop on our knee or the Green Industry that seeks to take all of that away and have us spending huge chunks of our income on heat pumps and all manner of niche technologies that don’t do what it says on the tin and lowers our standard of living because the UN, WEF and our own complaint lackey politicians want to control the worlds wealth and resources with climate as the excuse?
Also the middle classes who are the most ardent supporters of this have the most to lose.
At the heart of the Man Made Climate Change narrative is the notion of scarcity; we are told that oil is “running out”.
Quite why the Nut Zero Brigade think that BigOil would disrupt this narrative is beyond me.
Scarcity yes, and fear if too many people and not enough resources, but also the other main aspect which is WEALTH. ——-The western world has become prosperous by using fossil fuels, which lifted us from serfdom and misery into having the Industrial Revolution, employment, electricity, freedom from back breaking labour, elimination of preventable diseases, a standard of living previous generations could never have dreamt of and longer lifespans etc etc. ——-At UN level it is deemed the “lifestyles of the affluent middle classes is too high”.
“commentators such as yours truly are merely the PR front for Big Oil…” so says Ben “B.P.” Pile…hmmm
