This question is not rhetorical. A new treatment to lower harm from a minor respiratory virus in infants instead is associated with MORE baby deaths, clinical trials show. Yet no one seems to care.
Absolutely. They are showing exactly who they work for. Time for blinders to fall off. I did a lot of research with my then puppy about the consequences of spay-neuter. That’s another BS campaign that works only because of laziness aka human ‘convenience’. Rather than people taking responsibility for their pets to ensure no unwanted pregnancies and/or abandonment to shelters, pets are deprived of healthy organs and hormones, increasing rates of cancer among other issues (bone, joint, nervous system, etc) because owners don’t do their own research, finding it more convenient to listen to propagandists who only care about reducing populations, not about the health of individual, already living pets. The attitude is endemic so no surprise babies are subject to it too. Why do you think children are so unhealthy nowadays compared to my gen X kids? And guess who becomes young and then not so young, adults? This also answers the question, “Why is the world is going to crap?”
Exactly. My son found a kitten on the street over a year ago and she hasn't been to a vet once for a single shot. Perfectly healthy. My dog, on the other hand, who came to us spayed and jabbed up, has constant stomach problems, poor thing. The dog people I know, good liberals all, who were my source of information about regime propaganda during the entire "pandemic" (God, how I despise that word) actually believe the horse manure lie that if you don't castrate your dog or give it a hysterectomy, it will be MORE likely to develop cancer. No wonder they'd believe other whoppers about vaccines and "gender-affirming surgeries" and the like. The delusions run thick with these people.
I’ll have to read up on that. We tend to fix our dogs but more because they tend to be more docile and easier to train. Neutered dogs seem to have less of a tendency to mark inside the house. I am however not a fan of all the vaccinations that the vet pushes on us. We do rabies as it’s required by the county but I have considered stopping that as I don’t think we have had a reported case of rabies in years. We choose not to do the whole heart worm regimen nor do I get the kennel cough shot. The problem is if you don’t keep up on your shots they won’t kennel your pets if needed in an emergency.
I’ve found a vet who honors the rabies titer test. Guess what? The antibodies are still running high four years on. States mandating yearly rabies shots are running a sham- or is it to help vets make a profit?
My grandparents had 2 dogs and 3 cats. They rarely went to the vet, they ate leftover food, never processed food (it didn't exist, we were in Argentina) and they lived just fine until old age
But what can you do? Even the smartest of us don't have the time to sort the wheat from the chaff. That's what the doctors and regulators are supposed to do. We can't reject medicine outright and live with the medical technologies of the ancient Egyptians either.
I completely agree. But this full-time doc has taken his last vaccine. I was trained to use vaccines, was pro-vaccine, but after what we’ve seen these bastards pull the last 3 years, this guy has taken his last vax EVER. I can’t look in a vial and know what’s in it. As with Paxlovid, and the mRNA shots, everyone in government and Big Pharma has acted in bad faith. Too many of my profession went along with what we we told, from supporting idiotic masks and destructive lockdowns, to administering toxic, worthless Remdesivir. I am ashamed of my profession and would quit 5 minutes ago if I didn’t have bills to pay. People should be skeptical of the medical community in any new drug or mass recommendation. These villains are even pushing RSV vaccinations for adults - in 25 years of practice, I have never seen a single adult admitted to the hospital because of this virus. This is madness and corruption combined.
Wow. I wish more doctors had the courage to speak out. My health system only ditched the masks in the past month or two. My rebellion against that was to wear the same filthy, germ-infested mask that had been sitting in my car for the past 3 years to every appointment, laughing to myself all the way.
Same here. Unfortunately it was the only weapon I had. And my health systems (Northwell, NYU Langone, et al) also finally dropped the mask mandate within the past couple of months as well.
It really stuck in my craw. We had a bit more choice with regard to most businesses offering goods and services, but if you needed medical care, you had to play their game, no matter how ridiculous. In the early days of covid, in addition to masking, one had to stand behind a line 6 feet away from the doctor's receptionist, who was masked behind a plexiglass barrier. So that patient and receptionist had to shout back and forth to each other, thus completely destroying any chance of patient confidentiality.
just utter BS that did zero to stop the pandemic. My respect for the medical "system" is shot. Plus, why is something as personal as a doctor/patient relationship become a freakin' national system?
This is why I am done with doctors. My wife has always been big on homepathic cures, and hardly ever went to doctors for colds or flus for us or our kids. We did vaccinate both our kids with the standard schedule when they were born without a thought, now i regret even that very much. These health agencies are beyond corrupt. profits, and payoff sare all they care about.
One of the few plusses of the Covid nightmare is that large numbers of people have become aware of the corrupt nature of the medical establishment. RFK, Jr. will take full advantage.
you might be surprised. How have humans survived all these years, without the chemicals. I agree that appendicitis etc need surgery. But most meds are dangerous. There are alternatives that should be tried before you grab the poisons.
Agreed, but antibiotics showed that sometimes we do need a leg up against nature. But yeah, I avoid medication until there's no choice. Lifestyle and environment changes first, medication last.
yes, chemicals should be a last choice. My former MD used to ask me what all I had tried before I came to see him. And when he diagnosed, he would ask if I wanted something prescribed LOL. That was in Belgium though, I don't think there are docs like that in the US.
Oh, don't be so sure. In the past 10 days, I've had my primary care team and a specialist ask me whether I would be on a certain drug for the rest of my life, why I wanted certain blood tests for this drug for which the medical literature says the tests are necessary, and what dosage strength I wanted for another drug. Isn't it their JOB to know these things? I'm completely disgusted with the medical profession, even more so than I've been in the past 3 years with their covid propaganda.
One would think so. But I think they prescribe the max dose and aren't really concerned about possible adverse effects. A couple of my own experiments with drugs-
1) During my last colonoscopy, the doctor also examined the other end, and found signs of acid reflux. He prescribed esomeprazole, one tablet/day, costing me $200/mo before meeting my deductible. The generic OTC equivalent is Nexium. $25 for 20 tablets when on sale. And I don't need to take it every day to keep the reflux under control. a tablet every other day or even every 3rd day is sufficient.
2) Similar story w/ my blood pressure meds. My Valsartan is prescribed 1 tablet every day. I take it every other day, and check my BP at the pharmacy where they have the DIY blood pressure checker. It's always fine.
True. I guess it just comes down to making the time to do the research. I'm lucky in that I'm retired and can take the time. I just took myself off a drug that the doctor swears the side effects of which weren't the reason I had to go to the emergency room with a 102.6°F fever and vomiting that required IV fluids, when the side effect list as long as your arm clearly states such side effects.
Epsilon, couldn’t agree more. And no matter what our schedules, we can always make time for things that are truly important. I can’t think of too much that’s more important than good health. We blindly let others make medical decisions for us at our peril.
Perhaps Alex could do a deeper dive on this or verify but in listening to a Jordan Peterson interview with RFK, Jr., I believe that RFK mentioned that the Cochrane group is independent of pharma money and they offer some sound research. He also said a big problem is that Bill Gates is trying to get his claws into the organization which will gut it of its objectivity.
And one other thing which is interesting - at a maximum, only 18% of physicians are members of the American Medical Association. So when we see the “AMA recommends…”, I have always found that quite amusing. Big whoop.
The Cochrane Group came under enormous pressure to retract their meta study showing that there was no statistically significant benefit to mask wearing for Covid but they stuck to their guns.
I hear you, Bob the only reason I knew not to take the jab was because of a Christian radio station that advised against it. You are right we cannot research everything. You might try praying for wisdom, there is a scripture in the book of James that says, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who will give abundantly to him who asks. That may sound cheesy, but I spend a lot of time on my knees and listening to people like Alex because of this crazy world that we live in.
I have decided the research is worth the time - I have found a a group of data driven physicians & medical professionals that analyze a wide spectrum of conditions focused on looking at all sides of the issue/condition/side effect. I am always looking to add to the list as I become curious about other issues. I am spending at least an hour a day absorbing everything I can - focusing on bolstering my own health and immune system as much as I can - and learning all I can about everything that interests and may effect me. At first it was difficult and much of the more complicated concepts I had to really focus on and research to understand - but as time has gone on , I have created it as a daily habit when I work out and cook or when I'm driving. Not only has it brought me some peace and a feeling of control over my destiny, it has opened my eyes to how much control over my own life I had left up to conventional wisdom... That won't ever happen again. And it really all started with Alex:))
We can do our own research regarding preventative care, and hope to God we don't break limbs or get cancer and the like. That's about it. The medical establishment has utterly failed us.
None of it's new is it. Hopefully MANY more minds are now aware since the 2020 plandemic was intentionally orchestrated. Was the greatest CON and CRIME against humanity in the history of time, so let's HOPE the silver-lining of the obvious is MORE minds are now AWAKE to what in essence, has been going on for decades and decades with many previous so called vaccines and medications. Nothing NEW here in the least
My two youngest are twins. They were considered “preemies” by 4 days. Both were bigger than some full term babies. One of my daughters kept “forgetting” to breathe so they kept them both in the Nic U for about a week. My wife was a wreck. On Friday I told the hospital that we were taking them home. Both appeared to be healthy and they needed to be home with their family. The hospital insisted on sending monitors home that went off if either of them stopped breathing for more than a few seconds. We spent a month with our newborns (one that didn’t even have an issue ever) with them attached with wires and electrodes and the machines going off about the time we all fell asleep. It was miserable. After the 4/5th visit by a nurse that essentially said all the alarms were essentially false positives, I called the hospital and told them to come pick up their machines and I was unhooking them. They initially fought me insisting that they were “preemies” and they should be monitored. When I said they could come pick them up in one piece or gather the pieces up off the front lawn, they sent someone that day to come get them. This was about the time they started telling us that since it was “flu season”, we really should consider a series of shots that would be given once a month for 5 months. Each shot was $400/child/month. And insurance did not cover it. When I asked what this shot did, they continued to tell me it was very important and should be done. No data was ever given. I did my own research and found that the shot did not prevent the flu, but only kept it from getting severe in the case that the girls caught the flu. And even then the efficacy was minor. It reduced severe illness by something like 20-30%. When I explained that we didn’t have the money and there was little chance of the girls getting infected because it was winter and we had newborn twins, they continued to guilt us. Going so far as having a PA call us to “consider the health of your preemie twins”. I eventually hung up on her.
This was the beginning of my distrust in the medical community when it came to vaccines. Nothing has improved.
*edited because English actually is my first language.
Did they insist or give your twin girls the Hepatitis B injection when they were one day old? Just insane! How many young Mothers are pressured into giving their newborns an injection of something that they absolutely do not need. It is the beginning of the vaccine fear mongering for children and their parents.
and who would subject there newborn to this type of trial??? RSV is just another of the many different colds a child will catch while growing up. There is a segment of the population that bought the covid psyop 100% and are willing to inject there 1 month old with poison out of fear. A fake fear that has been hoisted upon them by the evil assholes that run public health and the pharma companies. Sad.
Why anyone would give their child any vaccine or “immunization” is beyond me… this corrupt, reckless regard for the well being of children’s welfare and health didn’t start with Covid vaccines and masks … if you want to be intellectually honest and legit you’ll start digging into the past too. RFK jr for president. I’m a 2 time trump voter, Conservatives for Bobby!!!
I have heard him interviewed several times now (tho I haven't heard the Rogan one yet). Most recently I saw him on a news-network-sponsored Town Hall in NH. It was the first time I'd heard his views on the border. He had actually gone there himself. He actually talked to the crossers (they are not who we think) and he talked to doctors and border patrol officers. And those interactions and his own principles (such as you cannot have a nation without a border & illegal crossings are fundamentally unfair to the people waiting 8 years to immigrate LEGALLY) formed the basis of his response. It was geniune, honest and balanced. I completely agreed with him. I live in TX and it's big deal here.
he is still a big government liberal. Thinks all the money should go to the same failed welfare programs, no talk of cutting any kind of spending. Not sure of his view on the trans issues but i'd guess hes lukewarm or against banning any of the insane hormone therapies or surgeries being performed on minors. He is 100% right on vaccines and the bullshit ukraine war. Not sure I could pull the lever for another big government liberal.
It is a quandary for me. Kennedy's big issue is corruption and the vaccine program is merely one facet of the pervasive corruption in government. It has cost our family dearly, since we have two autistic sons. I am not enthusiastic about his other political priorities. I suspect that he will get the Bernie Sanders treatment, so there will be no chance to vote for him in a general election.
Plus he just showed his hand as a racist by claiming the ending of affirmative action will mean no black will ever get into college again, since they’re all to dumb. He’s just another guilt ridden liberal with a white savior complex.
The real issue is that a review such as this belongs in the NEJM. Unfortunately they are gone - far gone. Instead they would publish an article about prostate cancer screening in trans males on Indian reservations - never admitting that trans males never had or would have a prostate . But that would wail about disparity in screening in that population.
This is frightening. How does any person, especially a parent, trust the medical field? I can't go full organic antivax, because polio and measles are real. But at the same time I can't be researching every newfangled panacea pushed by complacent doctors onto myself and my family. Am I supposed to run my own RCTs before accepting a treatment? WTaF is wrong with the regulators.
I read that the old, single measles vaccine worked way better than the multijab they give now. But you might want to read one of the books on ALL vaccines like Dissolving Illusions. It might change your mind on all of them. None is safe, and none is truly effective. Jabbed children still get measles. And in all my 65 years I have not known a person die from measles. It is also well known that some polio vaccines cause polio.
Yep, oral polio vaccine can cause polio, as many in the third world are unfortunately finding out. Measles is not particularly fatal IIRC, but it's wide array of severe complications makes it worth immunizing against.
I feel like prior to the COVID shots we had the golden middle of immunizations. A great track record of effective shots refined over time. Then the mundane vaccines turned into a profit opportunity. A mandated profit opportunity. Nothing could go wrong.
All the vaccines we’re developed with the same slight of hand and shady studies like the Covid vax. It just wasn’t in our face like this. There’s a whole lot of literature and podcasts that dives into it, with data and statistics to back it up. There are CLEAR links to worsening health outcomes with the increasing mandates of vaccines .
Another (and I think better-written) book about vaccines and vaccine safety is Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth. More comprehensive. But Dissolving Illusions is good as well.
i had an ear infection this spring 'that requires antibiotics' but I used peroxide and water to desinfect and took herbal treatment, and it recovered in 4 weeks. The chemicals might have worked quicker, but then the immune system has to recover, too!
Agreed, I am from Argentina and I had measles when I was a child. My mom put my sister purposely next to me all the time so she would get it. Of course she did and we both did just fine. Always it was the believe that if you got something, it was better that the other kids got it (when you were young and strong) so you had natural immunity
I read somewhere (or heard) that they want to use MRNA for polio and measles vaccinations as well. X#$@! First, they had this epiphany that newborns must be given certain vaccines and then they decided babies should be given their multiply vaccines together/simultaneously in one shot followed with a series and it seems over the years the number of series has increased. They also seemed to push the idea that when there was no "documented" or proof of vaccination the baby and or child should receive another full combined vax dose just to make sure they were "protected". As a grandmother who saw this very situation happen and the devastating effects it had on a perfectly healthy child I have NO trust left. 2 other children born after their military parent was in Desert Storm (he was vaxed) were born with a rare genetic defect (there were many other children of Desert Storm soldiers in England and here that were born with deformities and strange maladies as well) To make matters worse, this supposedly intelligent person (me) after researching the Covid shots, in a weak moment, took the jab. Luckily I did not take the MRNA shot however that one shot left me with neurological problems that will haunt me forever. (FYI... thank God my kids and their kids did as I said not as I did.) Oh that "perfectly healthy child developed severe autism within the first 30 days loosing their ability to talk, walk, etc. Don't get me wrong, there have been some incredible vaccines developed over the years but since the mid to late part of the last century something has gone very wrong......Very wrong. The only defense we have is to be very very aware and trust our gut.
As a highly contagious virus, polio transmits through contact with infected feces. Objects like toys that have come near infected feces can also transmit the virus.
This is why we need to support Kennedy, now more than ever. They are going to paint him as crazy because he will be their undoing! Open your eyes people! I feel sorry for new parents and the next generation.
Or DeSantis. He has a better shot and he’s already said all these agencies need to be broken up and end the regulators making money/ being funded by the regulated. It’s not just big pharma - it’s everything. Banks, public companies, EEOC, FINRA.......
If the 2024 race came down to RFK Jr vs national hero DeSantis, I'd just flip a coin to decide my vote, knowing the country is a winner either way. We can only hope for that matchup.
Alas, I fear we may instead see some tawdry spectacle of jailed Trump vs literally deceased Weekend At Bernies Biden.
Agree 😩. I don’t ever vote for war mongers and I don’t vote for people who hate kids, but darn it, I don’t want an 80 something blowhard V a worse corrupt, totalitarian, child hating, hair sniffing, 80-something blowhard....... we have better choices this time and yet 🐑 just keep voting the same crappy way. Like yes, Biden is worse, much much worse, but Trump was awful on Covid. He kept Fauci and hired Bolton. We don’t need either of these guys. Ugh....
I really believe Desantis will beat trump in the primary once it gets closer to the voting. Especially states with open primaries trump will be in trouble. The only thing that can derail desantis imo is if he doesn’t come out strongly against continuing the money laundering folly happening in Ukraine. As a Florida resident, I’ve lived with desantis and benefitted first hand from his policies during Covid, so im a big supporter. But ending support for the scumbag, tyrannical neo nazis in ukraine could be enough to sway me to RFK, who I have a big problem with as far as fiscal policy, or simply sitting it out, which I will almost def do if it’s Biden v trump.
I hope you are right. DeSantis is competent. I am actually a bit more pro-choice than him, I support a 10-week ban, but I respect his competence even when I rarely disagree. I would happily trade his competence and effectiveness in ending the geo political, energy, economic, and woke insanity for an all out abortion ban (which wouldn’t actually happen even with a Republican majority in congress). Any day, any time. And yes, I have a daughter. I just can’t believe how many people will sacrifice their own living, loved, wanted kids to ensure people can kill a 7 month old fetus for the hell of it (and yes, 98% of even late term abortions are purely elective and have nothing at all to do with the physical health of the mother or baby). My issue with RFK is his opposition to nuclear but he’s still better than the current regime of turning the Congo into a toxic waste dump to coddle the delusions of childless woke urbanites that know nothing about where anything comes from to falsely convince themselves impoverishing the world is caring about the “climate.”
Jordan Peterson's interview with him focused a lot on the issue of where Democrats are at and could Bobby Jr pull them back from the ideological brink. And I got to see it before it was banned!
It should be against the Nuremberg Code to subject anyone under 18 to an experimental “vaccine.” Who are these children? Are they wards of the state without loving parents to protect them from experimentation?
Alex still doesn't understand regulatory capture. The industries OWN the regulators and the agencies. It's true throughout our entire government. The government is owned by big corporations and those connected to them. That's who they work for. We go to war to keep defense contractors in business.
Italian style fascism was the government partnering with large corporations with the government as the managing partner. For the 21st century, the model has changed and the the large corporations are now acting as the managing partner. The power has shifted.
We must stop it. We must stand up and do what we each can individually. We’ll all be dead and gone if our plan is to wait for someone with power at the moment to be our savior. That’s not how human nature works. We save ourselves or suffer the consequences of waiting for someone to do it for us because the “someone in power” you refer to doesn’t exist. We’ve given our natural rights up to the monsters who sacrifice children and only we can take that power back.
It’s heartening to see people wake up who, probably only 5 years ago,_ would have sworn that the CDC, with its vaccine schedule, had the best interests of children at heart. They didn’t then and they don’t now.
and what's the point to give so many medications? To keep people sickly, and in need of more medication. A sick society is just a better business model. Pharma learned this a lonnng time ago
Agree. Have a friend who was taking a statin for cholesterol. After the 2nd year started having side effects . Doctor said no way the drug was causing them. She started tapering off. Cholesterol was still fine. She didn't tell the doc. Has been off them for 3 years and the doctor (who still doesn't know she's off the drugs) marvels at how great they're working.
“But once again, they seem to have forgotten that their first duty is to protect the public, not Big Pharma’s ability to sell new medicines”.
Ah, I don’t think they forgot.
Absolutely. They are showing exactly who they work for. Time for blinders to fall off. I did a lot of research with my then puppy about the consequences of spay-neuter.

I usually opt for the 3 year rabies shot.
My grandparents had 2 dogs and 3 cats. They rarely went to the vet, they ate leftover food, never processed food (it didn't exist, we were in Argentina) and they lived just fine until old age
No one should blindly trust the good will of the medical establishment ever again.
But what can you do? Even the smartest of us don't have the time to sort the wheat from the chaff. That's what the doctors and regulators are supposed to do. We can't reject medicine outright and live with the medical technologies of the ancient Egyptians either.

I'm not a doctor, but I feel exactly how you do regarding before/after covid.
They've set back "healthcare" 50 years.
I will never trust pharma again and I will never trust a doctor again until I've done a thorough "shake-out" with them.
Wow. I wish more doctors had the courage to speak out. My health system only ditched the masks in the past month or two. My rebellion against that was to wear the same filthy, germ-infested mask that had been sitting in my car for the past 3 years to every appointment, laughing to myself all the way.
I wore a mask that said “Your false sense of security.”
Love it! I'd have worn one like that if I'd ever come across it.
I ordered it from Amazon. Kinda surprised they allowed it.
Same here. Unfortunately it was the only weapon I had. And my health systems (Northwell, NYU Langone, et al) also finally dropped the mask mandate within the past couple of months as well.

So how do you become a "semi fascist"? 😁
This is why I am done with doctors. My wife has always been big on homepathic cures, and hardly ever went to doctors for colds or flus for us or our kids. We did vaccinate both our kids with the standard schedule when they were born without a thought, now i regret even that very much. These health agencies are beyond corrupt. profits, and payoff sare all they care about.
I’m with you. Covid made me an anti-vaxer!
What I’d like to understand is why the vaccine hijacked the Democrat mind. Why did it capture them so strongly? I’ve never seen that explained.
One of the few plusses of the Covid nightmare is that large numbers of people have become aware of the corrupt nature of the medical establishment. RFK, Jr. will take full advantage.
Amen brother..very well stated!

Perhaps Alex could do a deeper dive on this or verify but in listening to a Jordan Peterson interview with RFK, Jr., I believe that RFK mentioned that the Cochrane group is independent of pharma money and they offer some sound research. He also said a big problem is that Bill Gates is trying to get his claws into the organization which will gut it of its objectivity.
And one other thing which is interesting - at a maximum, only 18% of physicians are members of the American Medical Association. So when we see the “AMA recommends…”, I have always found that quite amusing. Big whoop.
The Cochrane Group came under enormous pressure to retract their meta study showing that there was no statistically significant benefit to mask wearing for Covid but they stuck to their guns.
Thank you so much for posting the website link. This is why I remain a subscriber to Alex's substack.
You are so welcome! I, too, enjoy the people on this website - a lot.
I hear you, Bob the only reason I knew not to take the jab was because of a Christian radio station that advised against it. You are right we cannot research everything. You might try praying for wisdom, there is a scripture in the book of James that says, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who will give abundantly to him who asks. That may sound cheesy, but I spend a lot of time on my knees and listening to people like Alex because of this crazy world that we live in.
Best to you and yours.
I have decided the research is worth the time - I have found a a group of data driven physicians & medical professionals that analyze a wide spectrum of conditions focused on looking at all sides of the issue/condition/side effect. I am always looking to add to the list as I become curious about other issues. I am spending at least an hour a day absorbing everything I can - focusing on bolstering my own health and immune system as much as I can - and learning all I can about everything that interests and may effect me. At first it was difficult and much of the more complicated concepts I had to really focus on and research to understand - but as time has gone on , I have created it as a daily habit when I work out and cook or when I'm driving. Not only has it brought me some peace and a feeling of control over my destiny, it has opened my eyes to how much control over my own life I had left up to conventional wisdom... That won't ever happen again. And it really all started with Alex:))
We can do our own research regarding preventative care, and hope to God we don't break limbs or get cancer and the like. That's about it. The medical establishment has utterly failed us.
None of it's new is it. Hopefully MANY more minds are now aware since the 2020 plandemic was intentionally orchestrated. Was the greatest CON and CRIME against humanity in the history of time, so let's HOPE the silver-lining of the obvious is MORE minds are now AWAKE to what in essence, has been going on for decades and decades with many previous so called vaccines and medications. Nothing NEW here in the least
The open minds are plentiful right up until the time they should open their mouths.
That's the real struggle.
I'm cautiously optimistic we MIGHT be able to hit critical mass there.
That's just a small, but absolutely necessary victory.
It has NOT been good will for a very long time -- since late 80's. All about profit.
My two youngest are twins. They were considered “preemies” by 4 days. Both were bigger than some full term babies. One of my daughters kept “forgetting” to breathe so they kept them both in the Nic U for about a week. My wife was a wreck. On Friday I told the hospital that we were taking them home. Both appeared to be healthy and they needed to be home with their family. The hospital insisted on sending monitors home that went off if either of them stopped breathing for more than a few seconds. We spent a month with our newborns (one that didn’t even have an issue ever) with them attached with wires and electrodes and the machines going off about the time we all fell asleep. It was miserable. After the 4/5th visit by a nurse that essentially said all the alarms were essentially false positives, I called the hospital and told them to come pick up their machines and I was unhooking them. They initially fought me insisting that they were “preemies” and they should be monitored. When I said they could come pick them up in one piece or gather the pieces up off the front lawn, they sent someone that day to come get them. This was about the time they started telling us that since it was “flu season”, we really should consider a series of shots that would be given once a month for 5 months. Each shot was $400/child/month. And insurance did not cover it. When I asked what this shot did, they continued to tell me it was very important and should be done. No data was ever given. I did my own research and found that the shot did not prevent the flu, but only kept it from getting severe in the case that the girls caught the flu. And even then the efficacy was minor. It reduced severe illness by something like 20-30%. When I explained that we didn’t have the money and there was little chance of the girls getting infected because it was winter and we had newborn twins, they continued to guilt us. Going so far as having a PA call us to “consider the health of your preemie twins”. I eventually hung up on her.
This was the beginning of my distrust in the medical community when it came to vaccines. Nothing has improved.
*edited because English actually is my first language.
Did they insist or give your twin girls the Hepatitis B injection when they were one day old? Just insane! How many young Mothers are pressured into giving their newborns an injection of something that they absolutely do not need. It is the beginning of the vaccine fear mongering for children and their parents.
It appears that American children have dollar signs over their heads, for pharma and the regulatory agencies.
Not to mention surgical mutilation, um, I mean gender affirming care.
Sex denying care.........
and who would subject there newborn to this type of trial??? RSV is just another of the many different colds a child will catch while growing up. There is a segment of the population that bought the covid psyop 100% and are willing to inject there 1 month old with poison out of fear. A fake fear that has been hoisted upon them by the evil assholes that run public health and the pharma companies. Sad.
Useless sucklers.
Why anyone would give their child any vaccine or “immunization” is beyond me… this corrupt, reckless regard for the well being of children’s welfare and health didn’t start with Covid vaccines and masks … if you want to be intellectually honest and legit you’ll start digging into the past too. RFK jr for president. I’m a 2 time trump voter, Conservatives for Bobby!!!
Can you trust Kennedy? He says the right things but remains a contingency lawyer and is a little too glib.
I have heard him interviewed several times now (tho I haven't heard the Rogan one yet). Most recently I saw him on a news-network-sponsored Town Hall in NH. It was the first time I'd heard his views on the border. He had actually gone there himself. He actually talked to the crossers (they are not who we think) and he talked to doctors and border patrol officers. And those interactions and his own principles (such as you cannot have a nation without a border & illegal crossings are fundamentally unfair to the people waiting 8 years to immigrate LEGALLY) formed the basis of his response. It was geniune, honest and balanced. I completely agreed with him. I live in TX and it's big deal here.
he is still a big government liberal. Thinks all the money should go to the same failed welfare programs, no talk of cutting any kind of spending. Not sure of his view on the trans issues but i'd guess hes lukewarm or against banning any of the insane hormone therapies or surgeries being performed on minors. He is 100% right on vaccines and the bullshit ukraine war. Not sure I could pull the lever for another big government liberal.
It is a quandary for me. Kennedy's big issue is corruption and the vaccine program is merely one facet of the pervasive corruption in government. It has cost our family dearly, since we have two autistic sons. I am not enthusiastic about his other political priorities. I suspect that he will get the Bernie Sanders treatment, so there will be no chance to vote for him in a general election.
Plus he just showed his hand as a racist by claiming the ending of affirmative action will mean no black will ever get into college again, since they’re all to dumb. He’s just another guilt ridden liberal with a white savior complex.
RFK Jr has my vote.
"nirsevimab" is pronounced "Billions in Cold Hard Cash", who knew?
The real issue is that a review such as this belongs in the NEJM. Unfortunately they are gone - far gone. Instead they would publish an article about prostate cancer screening in trans males on Indian reservations - never admitting that trans males never had or would have a prostate . But that would wail about disparity in screening in that population.
Thanks to Berenson , we get the truth.
Bahahaha!
This is frightening. How does any person, especially a parent, trust the medical field? I can't go full organic antivax, because polio and measles are real. But at the same time I can't be researching every newfangled panacea pushed by complacent doctors onto myself and my family. Am I supposed to run my own RCTs before accepting a treatment? WTaF is wrong with the regulators.
I read that the old, single measles vaccine worked way better than the multijab they give now. But you might want to read one of the books on ALL vaccines like Dissolving Illusions. It might change your mind on all of them. None is safe, and none is truly effective. Jabbed children still get measles. And in all my 65 years I have not known a person die from measles. It is also well known that some polio vaccines cause polio.
Yep, oral polio vaccine can cause polio, as many in the third world are unfortunately finding out. Measles is not particularly fatal IIRC, but it's wide array of severe complications makes it worth immunizing against.
I feel like prior to the COVID shots we had the golden middle of immunizations. A great track record of effective shots refined over time. Then the mundane vaccines turned into a profit opportunity. A mandated profit opportunity. Nothing could go wrong.
Yeah, and suddenly the immune system was no longer a thing that existed, or apparently ever had existed. Right down the memory hole.
All the vaccines we’re developed with the same slight of hand and shady studies like the Covid vax. It just wasn’t in our face like this. There’s a whole lot of literature and podcasts that dives into it, with data and statistics to back it up. There are CLEAR links to worsening health outcomes with the increasing mandates of vaccines .
Another (and I think better-written) book about vaccines and vaccine safety is Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth. More comprehensive. But Dissolving Illusions is good as well.
My brother had measles in the late 60’s and recovered just fine.
i had an ear infection this spring 'that requires antibiotics' but I used peroxide and water to desinfect and took herbal treatment, and it recovered in 4 weeks. The chemicals might have worked quicker, but then the immune system has to recover, too!
4 weeks is a really long time to have an ear infection. Did you have any hearing damage?
There ya go!
Agreed, I am from Argentina and I had measles when I was a child. My mom put my sister purposely next to me all the time so she would get it. Of course she did and we both did just fine. Always it was the believe that if you got something, it was better that the other kids got it (when you were young and strong) so you had natural immunity
I read somewhere (or heard) that they want to use MRNA for polio and measles vaccinations as well. X#$@! First, they had this epiphany that newborns must be given certain vaccines and then they decided babies should be given their multiply vaccines together/simultaneously in one shot followed with a series and it seems over the years the number of series has increased. They also seemed to push the idea that when there was no "documented" or proof of vaccination the baby and or child should receive another full combined vax dose just to make sure they were "protected". As a grandmother who saw this very situation happen and the devastating effects it had on a perfectly healthy child I have NO trust left. 2 other children born after their military parent was in Desert Storm (he was vaxed) were born with a rare genetic defect (there were many other children of Desert Storm soldiers in England and here that were born with deformities and strange maladies as well) To make matters worse, this supposedly intelligent person (me) after researching the Covid shots, in a weak moment, took the jab. Luckily I did not take the MRNA shot however that one shot left me with neurological problems that will haunt me forever. (FYI... thank God my kids and their kids did as I said not as I did.) Oh that "perfectly healthy child developed severe autism within the first 30 days loosing their ability to talk, walk, etc. Don't get me wrong, there have been some incredible vaccines developed over the years but since the mid to late part of the last century something has gone very wrong......Very wrong. The only defense we have is to be very very aware and trust our gut.
Read Turtles All The Way Down. It changed my mind about the polio and measles vaccines. We've all been hypnotized by pHarma propaganda.
They trust their doctors, who they don't understand are SILENCED by big pharma.
Read the book "Turtle All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth". It is an eye opener, especially about polio.
As a highly contagious virus, polio transmits through contact with infected feces. Objects like toys that have come near infected feces can also transmit the virus.
This is why we need to support Kennedy, now more than ever. They are going to paint him as crazy because he will be their undoing! Open your eyes people! I feel sorry for new parents and the next generation.
Or DeSantis. He has a better shot and he’s already said all these agencies need to be broken up and end the regulators making money/ being funded by the regulated. It’s not just big pharma - it’s everything. Banks, public companies, EEOC, FINRA.......
If the 2024 race came down to RFK Jr vs national hero DeSantis, I'd just flip a coin to decide my vote, knowing the country is a winner either way. We can only hope for that matchup.
Alas, I fear we may instead see some tawdry spectacle of jailed Trump vs literally deceased Weekend At Bernies Biden.
Agree 😩. I don’t ever vote for war mongers and I don’t vote for people who hate kids, but darn it, I don’t want an 80 something blowhard V a worse corrupt, totalitarian, child hating, hair sniffing, 80-something blowhard....... we have better choices this time and yet 🐑 just keep voting the same crappy way. Like yes, Biden is worse, much much worse, but Trump was awful on Covid. He kept Fauci and hired Bolton. We don’t need either of these guys. Ugh....
I really believe Desantis will beat trump in the primary once it gets closer to the voting. Especially states with open primaries trump will be in trouble. The only thing that can derail desantis imo is if he doesn’t come out strongly against continuing the money laundering folly happening in Ukraine. As a Florida resident, I’ve lived with desantis and benefitted first hand from his policies during Covid, so im a big supporter. But ending support for the scumbag, tyrannical neo nazis in ukraine could be enough to sway me to RFK, who I have a big problem with as far as fiscal policy, or simply sitting it out, which I will almost def do if it’s Biden v trump.
I hope you are right. DeSantis is competent. I am actually a bit more pro-choice than him, I support a 10-week ban, but I respect his competence even when I rarely disagree. I would happily trade his competence and effectiveness in ending the geo political, energy, economic, and woke insanity for an all out abortion ban (which wouldn’t actually happen even with a Republican majority in congress). Any day, any time. And yes, I have a daughter. I just can’t believe how many people will sacrifice their own living, loved, wanted kids to ensure people can kill a 7 month old fetus for the hell of it (and yes, 98% of even late term abortions are purely elective and have nothing at all to do with the physical health of the mother or baby). My issue with RFK is his opposition to nuclear but he’s still better than the current regime of turning the Congo into a toxic waste dump to coddle the delusions of childless woke urbanites that know nothing about where anything comes from to falsely convince themselves impoverishing the world is caring about the “climate.”
100%
DeSantis 24!
I'm for whoever stops the Left.
The Left has hijacked the Dem Party and they've went straight to totalitarianism.
RFK is going to have to tell it straight on that part too.
I'm not sure that's going to be so easy for him running as a Democrat.
Jordan Peterson's interview with him focused a lot on the issue of where Democrats are at and could Bobby Jr pull them back from the ideological brink. And I got to see it before it was banned!
It can still be accessed on Twitter and is worth watching.
It should be against the Nuremberg Code to subject anyone under 18 to an experimental “vaccine.” Who are these children? Are they wards of the state without loving parents to protect them from experimentation?
It already is against the Nuremberg code.
Alex still doesn't understand regulatory capture. The industries OWN the regulators and the agencies. It's true throughout our entire government. The government is owned by big corporations and those connected to them. That's who they work for. We go to war to keep defense contractors in business.
Italian style fascism was the government partnering with large corporations with the government as the managing partner. For the 21st century, the model has changed and the the large corporations are now acting as the managing partner. The power has shifted.
Our country is in such trouble. The fact that no one who has the power to stop this will, speaks volumes.
We must stop it. We must stand up and do what we each can individually. We’ll all be dead and gone if our plan is to wait for someone with power at the moment to be our savior. That’s not how human nature works. We save ourselves or suffer the consequences of waiting for someone to do it for us because the “someone in power” you refer to doesn’t exist. We’ve given our natural rights up to the monsters who sacrifice children and only we can take that power back.
AMEN.
Go Kennedy!
Nor your next door neighbor.
That's a big part of the problem.
It’s heartening to see people wake up who, probably only 5 years ago,_ would have sworn that the CDC, with its vaccine schedule, had the best interests of children at heart. They didn’t then and they don’t now.
I hope there is a hell.. that is all I am saying.. 🥲
Trust me, there is and it’s forever, just google “scriptures on hell in the Bible”
Best advice I have received in last ten years came from a retired orthopedic surgeon. Ed said, "stay away from doctors".
"What's the point of developing new drugs?"
Why, to make money, you silly goose.
and what's the point to give so many medications? To keep people sickly, and in need of more medication. A sick society is just a better business model. Pharma learned this a lonnng time ago
Agree. Have a friend who was taking a statin for cholesterol. After the 2nd year started having side effects . Doctor said no way the drug was causing them. She started tapering off. Cholesterol was still fine. She didn't tell the doc. Has been off them for 3 years and the doctor (who still doesn't know she's off the drugs) marvels at how great they're working.
Why is she still seeing this doctor?
