Good stuff here! Your list looks pretty comprehensive. I would like to know each ingredient in every vaccine available. This would include all ingredients including those considered generally recognized as safe. I say this because I believe that directly injecting anything into our bloodstream potentially hyper sensitizes a person to subsequent exposures. Peanut "allergies" are one that comes to mind as peanut oil was used as an adjuvant. Also it's all anaphylaxis. Allergies and rashes are simply mild anaphylaxis., IMHO.

Good addition! I would like to know all the ingredients too!

I suggest that you have this in the wrong order: "No one who serves on the FDA should ever be allowed to work in pharma."

Because--pharma is private business, FDA is public. I would suggest reversing the phrasing: No one who has been employed by Pharma should be eligible for a position in the federal bureaucracy.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to say that no one who has ties to pharma should serve on the FDA. But if you look at the revolving door photo in the post, you'll see that many of the FDA commissioners went to serve on pharma boards after working at the FDA. I believe this is because they did those companies favors while they served in exchange for a position afterward. So that is why I decided to state it that way.

I take your point, but since pharma is within private enterprise, what could prevent a former FDA worker from taking a job? Unless, perhaps a form of legally binding agreement—such that on accepting a post with an alphabet agency, the employee sign a promise not to engage financially with pharma for a period of xx years after leaving the government post? And maybe make that specified number of years large enough so that it spelled “retirement due to advanced age”.

I, too, want to celebrate the changing winds, hoping it doesn’t all fall into the “too good to be true” category. But vigilance is needed now more than ever. 1) I’ve read somewhere that VP-elect J.D. Vance has financial interest in mRNA. If true, we can’t afford to be naive about the influence of such powerful people on public health policy, no matter what natural health superstars are appointed elsewhere. 2) Trump’s new Chief of Staff. Her resume says she was (or is?) a partner at a major lobbying firm based out of Florida whose clients include major pharmaceutical companies. 3) I voted for Trump myself. But I have had a nagging question bothering me for the last few years — why won’t he denounce the covid vaccine? With all its blatant harms, why does he still boast about being the “father” of the vaccine and Operation Warp Speed? Are we being played?

yeah, Trump was a disaster about the vaccine. And he's never admitted that he was wrong about all that. I just hope RFK is allowed to do his thing without interference from Trump and Vance.

I think he was forced into it … he was up against a wall and he wasn’t surrounded with very nice people… just look at Faucci …and of course RFK, Jr knows about Faucci games!!!!! And sadly Trumps son was vaccine injured. And Trumps wife ..Barons mother.. and his father and his siblings .. they are very protective of their son… brother…. At least all of their family is still together throughout the traumas and turmoils that have surrounded them for the last several years. And Joel and Massie are brilliant gentlemen … including RFK, Kr .. just look at the way the other side treated him… it was a crying shame… at least Trump extended a hand and they sat down to talk about MAHA and MAGA… the other side would not even give RFK, Jr the time of day .. and I say shame on them!!!! Trumps A-Team … these guys & gals are focused and they mean business. I think they are going to be the best the A- Team ever to enter the White House… and that’s what 🇺🇸 needs right now.. that’s if the other side doesn’t interfere with the A-Teams plans. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

MAHA And our motto is to grow your own organic vegetables and herbs and Not a lawn.. and that’s what we do ..on a little barrier island .. we are surrounded by nature and state parks.. we grow all of our vegetables and herbs and fruit trees in our backyard. And we use 85% less water since water will be a precious commodity.. we use a drip irrigation system. Verti -Gro.com and I am thankful that God sent me a farmer 30 years ago!!! ❤️ 🌶️

Be patient. This was my greatest reservation about Trump. However, RFK has had good productive conversations with Trump, and he has secured Trump's approval to publish information about the harms of any and all vaccines, even if that leads to their banishment. RFK wouldn't take this position unless he had firm assurances from Trump.

I would like to see a legal mandate that every medical practitioner be required to publicly disclose all incentive programs--whether those are from "insurance" companies or government programs, from pharmaceutical companies, from medical product manufacturers, etc.

Given the amount of public money that medical practitioners receive, or shunt to their employers/colleagues, their compensation structures should be as completely daylighted as any humble little administrative assistant or janitor in a state job.

I would like to see a database for this, rather than databases of people snitching on their neighbors for cutting hair or babysitting children despite some cockamamie gubernatorial proclamation about Muh Covid (referring there to Jay Inslee's Snitch List in WA state).

I want to be optimistic. But I worry about what happens if someone starts squeezing the drug cartel. They will use any method available to defend their business.

Yes, it's scary to take on the biggest powers in the world. I hope RFK Jr doesn't succumb to the same fate as his father and uncle!

The biggest powers in the world, the swamp and half the American people. They've got their work cut out for em.. I also am hopefully optimistic, but I see members of Congress already having complete meltdowns over most of Trumps team, especially RFK. Absolutely unbelievable to watch.....

I would like to see industrial seed oils (Corn, canola, cottonseed, soybean, safflower, sunflower, rice bran, grape seed) made illegal for use in food, as they are in some countries. They are even worse than sugar.

Your list that your students and yourself came up with is a great one.. Limited government and transparency should be more than doable... A past candidate for the presidential race has said, we need to put sponsorship stickers on all the Congress men and women. We could probably put them on the officials that make decisions for the elected also... The revolving door needs to be a thing of the past...

Also, nonprofit healthcare and pharmaceutical companies only.

When I lay down in bed at night and say my prayers. Every now and again I ask Jesus, what would you do? He never once has told me anything about Trump being a racist, rapist or a narcissistic grifter.... But I also don't remember Him telling me to vote for a woman of color either... This country needs change, dramatic change... Hindsight is 20/20 and what we've been doing hasn't been the best way, I think we both agree with that. This seemed like the best path...

There is only one error in your post. You mentioned a president who is a racist, rapist, fraudulent grifter, with a 5-letter last name. Obviously you were referring to Biden.

The big pharma shills would support your post as originally written, congratulations!
