If we drop immunity for vaccine makers, the problem takes care of itself.

Sure would be interesting to see what happens when newsrooms aren't beholden to Pharma money. Why.....we might see some bombshell reporting that would perhaps drive up ratings! They might turn the story into a Netflix movie and everything!

This is as expected (from the commander) an excellent point! How would media institutions who are heavily reliant on big pharma money via advertising, deal with an absolute loss of that funding?

I believe they'd be forced to revert back to being a true 4th estate that is a balance on government and more importantly, corporate corruption. We are headed towards a hybrid corporatocracy because that is what the wealthy ruling class want and they WILL get it if enough of us don't stand up and say FU!

Also, what I wouldn't give to see ONE senator ask a question about the "embalmers' clots" and use the Committee's Big Screen to show the world pictures of some of these white, fibrous worm-like things.

Alas, we KNOW that's not going to happen - another "tell" about our New Abnormal.

BTW, RFK, Jr. had a 30-minute phone conversation with the most famous whistle-blowing embalmer, Richard Hirschman. So RFK, Jr. knows all about these clots. I wonder if Trump has looked at any of these hundreds of photos ... and, if so, what does he think about them?

Is he curious what's causing them? Could it be mRNA shots?

Or perhaps end immunity for every vaccine that got approved recently. A sort of statute of limitations, like our criminal laws, to provide time for testing and litigation if people get hurt by a novel vaccine.

In order to "drop immunity" for the vaccine makers - there are going to have to be many "rules" put in place by the elitist annulled.

Tis WAR.

Moreover - tis my humble opinion - these effing "elitist" ought be referred to as "so-called" - cause that is all they are - full of bad ideas they try to put into legal standing - but reality is they are WAY outnumbered and Mother Nature along with so many everyday citizens is PISSED off with them - they shall reap what they have sown - one at a time.

Executive Summary

This Remedial Action Plan (RAP) presents a plan for completing the final remedial actions at the E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) Brevard site (site). At this site, DuPont produced high purity silicon from 1957 to 1962 (edit - I did not know this!), and DuPont and subsequent property owners produced X-ray films from 1962 to 2002. DuPont and other property owners have been investigating and remediating the site since the 1980s under the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action Program, with oversight by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). Approximately 1,100 remedial investigation samples have been collected at the site, and DuPont submitted the Remedial Investigation Report (RIR) to NCDEQ in 2015, which marked the completion of the site’s investigation phase (Parsons

2015b). A number of remedial actions were completed during the investigation phase. Key completed remedial actions included demolition and removal activities of the former plant, removal and recycling/relocation of X-ray film waste, installation of cap/covers over former landfills/disposal areas and

similar areas, and installation of a groundwater treatment system for the DuPont State Recreational Forest (DSRF) Visitor Center water supply well.

I don't think he will go into heavy detail on vaccines. He only might reiterate what he has said about the proper safety testings of especially the childhood vaccinations. I highly doubt they will discuss the covid vaccine because we all know about what happened in the clinical trials (at least for Pfizer).

If you have faith, please pray. It could only be a miracle for RFK to overcome the billions the Vaccine Industrial Complex is funneling candidates and political parties. The level of corruption is unbelievable!

What did Bill Gates promised Trump in his last visit? Why would Trump even talk to the person murdering, maiming or infertilizing hundreds of millions, just for the sake of depopulation?

If RFK is rejected:

a) Trump could create something like DOGE but for revealing the problems with the health system and FDA approvals, let's call it MAHA committee: the recommendation could end with shutting down whole FDA departments, creating a new co-approval process/agency, etc. The head of the HHS would be commanded by Trump to obey MAHA recommendations by Executive Order.

This could give Bobby even more authority than being the head of the HHS, while circumventing the Senate, because the authority would be in fact Trump’s authority.

One of those MAHA recommended Executive Orders could be opening up all HHS databases (anonimized if necessary) and to clarify that vaccine manufactures have no immunity if their approval was based on fraud, negligence, not using a real placebo, not comparing with the unvaxxed, not following the exposure of the vaxxed to the wild pathogen, no open-science, no longterm post-market follow up, burden of proof on behalf of the manufacturer that the vaccine did not cause said side-effect, facilitating class actions in case of failing to comply with that, etc.

In parallel, Congress should be forced to debate such bills.

b) Trump could offer him another non-health position with Senate confirmation, which could indirectly impact on health or on national intelligence or law

c) Trump could offer a position not requiring Senate confirmation, which would still be impactful (especially if reaching media)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_positions_filled_by_presidential_appointment_with_Senate_confirmation

If nothing like this happens, then we'd know how compromised Trump is.

I can't see why this would be a negative on Trump. He can't control what the Senate does. Regardless of what happens, he kept his part of the bargain, gave RFK Jr. a bigger platform, and nominated him for a larger role than expected. He's supported RFK Jr. w/o qualification. So, it's not like he's tanking his nomination or something. (Also, IMO, he should have a backup plan for every nominee, like he did for Gates. At least I hope he does.)

CALL TO ACTION - PHONE CALL CAMPAIGN

Your Voice Matters. Your Help is Needed TODAY!

Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary is Wednesday, January 29th. Kennedy has the knowledge and experience to deliver on President Trump's mandate to Make America Healthy Again.

There is an extreme amount of pushback being leveled in the Halls of Washington ahead of his confirmation hearings and vote. 

We are asking YOU to make short phone calls to your Senators. Our task is simple! Increase the volume of calls to our Senator's offices for "I want Kennedy confirmed." Each call is counted as "for" or "against." We can get these numbers up!

STEP 1: For those in Alabama, call Senator Tommy Tuberville at 202-224-4124 and Senator Katie Britt at 202-224-5744. For those in other states, look-up your Senator's contact number at: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

STEP 2: Say the following script, keeping short and simple is great! (saves time and easy for us to do)

"I am one of your voting constituents, and I am calling to respectfully request the Senator to vote "YES" to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr, as the next HHS secretary.

"He has the experience to deliver on President Trump's mandate to make America Healthy Again.

"Kennedy's courage to challenge powerful corporate interests demonstrates his independence. He will deliver the essential reforms needed to fix our badly broken health agencies."

STEP 3: Ask your trusted/supportive friends and family to do the same.Each and every call is counted.

* It is important that we represent ourselves calmly, with clarity and integrity. The script above is an easy and excellent way we can all contribute to this important campaign in a productive and impactful way.

The evil vaccine/military cabal will pull out all stops. If Trump really wants to impact health and human services he won’t be able to do it with a senate vote.

Everything in politics is give and take.

Trump knows that in passing major legislation he will need 60 votes in the Senate. He can't just hammer his agenda through, so I ask, "What is Trump willing to concede to the Democrats for his highest priorities?"

That question, as of yet, has not been answered.

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

Yep. Your post gets to THE question - what are Trump's "highest priorities?" It's probably not an effort to INCREASE the number of Americans who are "vaccine hesitant."

We need hundreds of millions - billions - of more people to become "vaccine hesitant."

If people get all the pertinent and honest (and censored) info on vaccines and still want to get them (or let their kids get them), that's fine, I guess.

But this should be a voluntary decision. I'm "pro-choice" on vaccines and my choice is ... don't get another one.

The confirmation herrings are always staged. If it's a Democrat nominee then most of the Republicans are seeking ways to make the nominee look bad. If it's a Republican nominee then the Democrats do the same. What is enjoyable is the responses by the nominee from a Senator not asking serious Q's but trying to make the nominee look bad. B/C most Dems are woke fools there easier for a good nominee to catch off guard which is why most of the herrings have been enjoyable so far.

I've watched too many RFK Jr interviews to count, and he always answers the vaccine question the exact same way. Every time. He wants them to be tested the exact same way all other drugs are tested - blind placebo control study. The covid 'vaccines' went through this study but the control group was blown up, unblinded and allowed to get the vaccine rendering any data comparing the two groups useless.

I read the article you cross-posted suggesting RFK Jr has already betrayed the "medical freedom movement" by not talking about covid enough. You said "my colleagues in the “Covid contrarian” world seem to already be convinced that RFK, Jr. has “sold out” and might even be captured or controlled opposition." Did they provide supportive evidence or a motive? Did someone buy him off, threaten his family? The man cried when he announced he was suspending his campaign. He's the real deal. He's been extremely consistent. I would suggest another look at the people criticizing him and what their motives and incentives might be.

Whether or not he does get confirmed, keep in mind the other nominees - Bhatacharya at NIH and Makary at FDA. All is not lost if RFK Jr isn't confirmed. If you need another silver lining, think how terrible things would be right now if Kamala had won.

Expand full comment
glenn's avatar

Lisa, I’ve noticed the same as you. RFKjr has been completely consistent with his views in vaccines, and want them to go through proper clinical trials like “most” other drugs, specifically placebo controlled trials. The MAGA and MAHA groups are perpetually pissed RFKjr and Trump haven’t started the anticipated covid retribution hearings.

However, RFKjr’s position is very shrewd, genius even. He knows that most of these vaccines can’t pass placebo controlled trials, especially without their toxic adjuvants like aluminum and mercury. He will let the data and the FDA’s own procedures take care of getting a chunk of the vaccines off the market.

Of course, this is why they’re absolutely terrified of having RFKjr in charge of HHS. Trump may have a backup, but it isn’t Jay. Either way, RFKjr not getting confirmed will be a blow to Trump and a massive victory for the medical industrial complex.

On the questions - no he won't be confirmed.

When questioned on vaccines, he'll repeat canned talking points, like he is NOT anti-vax. He just wants adequate testing of vaccines. He'll be nuanced on questions like removing the liability shield, and effectiveness of the COVID jabs. He'll probably have to clearly state there have been a lot of injuries and deaths from COVID jabs in order to avoid losing his base. But he'll try to soften that as much as he thinks he can get away with.

Politicians all think vaccines are a "third rail", and it's political suicide to challenge them. Except for Ron Johnson. Even after COVID. He'll presume, correctly IMO, that he must cater to that to have a chance.

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

There's only two possible scenarios/outcomes here: 1) Kennedy is confirmed; 2) Kennedy is rejected.

If Kennedy's nomination is defeated, it's almost a given that any kind of "war on vaccines" or any significant voice who questions the efficacy and safety of "vaccines" won't occur.

That is, Trump's pick to replace Kennedy won't advance the same initiatives that Kennedy would/might have. (Or, if Trump appointed someone who thinks just like Kennedy, this nominee would also be rejected).

However, if Kennedy is confirmed ... at least it will be a question mark of what he'd do to "move the needle" (pun intended) on the "vaccine debate." Said differently, we might actually have some semblance of a real debate on vaccines - which would be a significant development for "our side."

I don't think the Vaccine Industrial Complex wants to take the risk of seeing what Kennedy can do or might do to thwart some of their programs.

When I say "No he won't be confirmed", that's my best guess. I am not certain. It will be interesting.

Despite Trump's apparent intransigence on COVID MRNA jabs, and even if Kennedy is rejected, I think there is hope. The most crucial difference between the Trump administration (and current mood of the country) and the Dems and the Biden years, is free speech is back, to a large extent. So long as speech, and by extension, inquiry is unfettered, eventually truth is likely to emerge more often, and in more influential quarters. And, truth is on our side. Enough people were harmed by the jabs, and enough enraged by the mandates, not only over jabs but also destructive lockdowns, that there is a sizeable constituency for a breakthrough. OTOH, I also fear the jabs were "just safe enough" they will be able to continue to marginalize truth-tellers. Pharma STILL has as much money as ever. And well over half the public still refuses to believe the truth about Pharma and vaccines. There are too many dynamics at play to address without turning a comment into a book. I'm sure you see them. It's the relative strength of each opposing force, and future unpredictable events that will decide.

Your answers jibe with my answers - or my predictions on what will happen.

If Kennedy is confirmed - which is still possible - imo the Deep State/Vaccine Industrial Complex - is not going to sleep well while he's leading the HHS. Even if he doesn't go "Tora! Tora! Tora!" on the Big Pharma Enemy, Kennedy's probably going to implement some reforms that shake up or threaten the Status Quo.

Since it's unknown how aggressive Kennedy may or may not be as HHS secretary, the "safe" move for the Powers that Be is to keep him from being confirmed.

"Since it's unknown how aggressive Kennedy may or may not be as HHS secretary, the "safe" move for the Powers that Be is to keep him from being confirmed."

Exactly. Unless they know something about Kennedy we don't. I don't trust him. He is no freedom warrior. He actually said "All of my kids are vaccinated". He actually said "We should only mandate vaccines when we are certain they are really safe and effective". That second quote is best I can remember, but essentially accurate. Jeez - THAT"S WHAT WE JUST DID. We all know who determines when we REALLY KNOW they are safe and effective. That rests in the hands of our esteemed "authorities". His stated position is actually the status quo. He thinks we can reform the system to be honest, which even if achieved is not sustainable. So, in my view he is either hopelessly naive or corrupt, or some combination. He's a full-blown authoritarian, not my type of guy.

I still hope he is confirmed. No illusions here about living in a perfect world.

In all seriousness what is the likely outcome of

a) Removing liability protection for vaccines from #BigPharma

and/or

b) banning pharmaceutical advertising

You can bet that if there is any mention of removing #BigPharmas liability protection that they will use the same threats they did in the 80's saying they would stop making vaccines period. On the flip side, after covid and what all has been exposed since, #BigPharma can no longer count on support form the public for vaccine use as they have in the past. Yes there are the truly faithful who will trust any vaccine no matter what but their numbers are shrinking.

We don't want to get rid of vaccines entirely as I believe there are a few that are useful but I'd love to see the wider public say no to vaccines and stop jabbing up their babies and toddlers with dozens of drugs. If that even looks like it might happen the rich and powerful will respond as the vaccine front on the war against the peasants (that's how they see us) , has provided them with much of what they seek; to create a society of easily manipulated and low level testosterones worker bee's; tax mules that don't speak back or complain/ask questions.

What Trump needs to do is get a primary operation going where they focus on getting as many MAGA.MAHA supporters on board as possible with primarying every single Republican who voted against Trumps nominees. These corrupt sell-outs only respect power and they are accustomed to easy wins if they play ball so we have to put an end to that by having small never before heard of every day people defeat these corrupt incumbents and send a message to the rest that the days of this BS are over.

Trump defeated Biden/Harris even though he was outs pent 2 to 1. This shows that just because you have more money to campaign with it is no longer a guarantee you will win. That is the msg these people must learn and I for suspect Trump knows this and is doing what he is to work towards that goal. That is to nominate highly popular people and watch as turncoats and sell-outs in teh Republicans' party vote no and then come re-election time show these corrupt politicians that their positions are no longer safe, no longer guaranteed.

The only thing these people fear more than blackmail is not getting re-elected so we need to politically sacrifice some (ensure they are defeated by lesser known candidates) to message the rest that they best get their arses in line with the peoples choice!
