The encounter began Thursday afternoon when the woman identified as Patricia Schuh allegedly shined a blinding light in the face of HHS aide Sara Kennedy and yelled “Free Palestine,” chasing her across a lobby and into a bathroom while screaming “slut,” the New York Post reported.

In his resignation-by-tweet from the CDC, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Monkeypox Czar and LGBTQ+ advocate Demetre Daskalakis, made a telling comment: “Public health is not merely about the health of the individual, but it is about the health of the community, the nation, the world.”His words paralleled the words of fictional scientist Dr. Mann from the film Interstellar who, just seconds before his own recklessness sent him into the vacuum of space, declared: “This isn’t about my life, or Cooper’s life, this is about all mankind.”And President Biden made an eerily similar statement...

The agency needs to be strengthened, not torn downHis long record of fomenting distrust of vaccinesopens in a new tab or window and purveying false and misleadingopens in a new tab or window health information -- and now even stoking animusopens in a new tab or window against career scientists -- is shaping national policy. The consequences are reverberating across America's most venerable scientific institutions like the FDA and NIH. But there is no agency where the damage is so palpable and enduring than the CDC, America's frontline agency against health threats. Kennedy's campaign -- including his recent declaration that...

If you, by chance, believed that congressional committees were helmed by elected officials who did their homework and were trying to do more than get face time on the evening news, you certainly learned this week what a farce these hearings can be. Here’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., testifying before the Senate Finance Committee, members of which are richly financed by the pharmaceutical companies that have made mountains of money on vaccines: [video at link] If you didn’t realize before this that the CDC needs a thorough housekeeping after it mandated -- with no scientific basis -- six-foot distances and...

Last week the newly-confirmed head of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Susan Monarez, was abruptly fired by President Trump, barely a month after receiving her Senate confirmation in July. Although Monarez was new to CDC as of the second Trump term, her career in high-level government positions runs back to through the Biden, Trump I, and Obama administrations. Upon announcement of Monarez’s firing, the press was immediately filled with reports of “turmoil” at the agency. At least four high-ranking officials resigned in protest (even as Monarez tried to hang on). In addition, large numbers of staffers came forward (anonymously)...

President Trump on Friday expressed support for mandatory vaccines for school-aged children, amid Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to end unnecessary vaccination. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats sought to grill him about his personnel and vaccine guidance shake-up at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Per the Hill, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for those under 18. Kennedy, meanwhile, has fired all 17 sitting members of CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and also moved to oust...

Dr Aseem Malhotra, who has been invited to speak by Nigel Farage, believes deaths caused by mRNA jab are in the millions ----------------------------- One of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s health advisers will tell Reform members that Covid vaccines cause cancer at the party’s conference on Saturday. Dr Aseem Malhotra, a British doctor who works on the US health secretary’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, is a prominent sceptic of mRNA vaccines and has been invited to the conference by Nigel Farage.

The COVID vaccine debate sparks anew in Senate hearing.WASHINGTON — As he sat in the hot seat during a Senate hearing Thursday morning, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recognized that he was in the center of a religious debate — on vaccines.On one side were finance committee Democrats and a couple of Republicans who are staunchly pro-vaccine. (I support COVID vaccines too. I just think the health care establishment ought to be a little more humble.)On the other side were Republicans who loved Kennedy for resisting the establishment orthodoxy — or what Democrats refer to with...

In fiery Senate testimony this week, US Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr once again set his sights on the nation's top public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). His appearance came days after he suddenly fired the new CDC director, Susan Monarez, provoking a group of senior staff to resign in protest. At the hearing, when asked for an explanation, Kennedy claimed he had asked Ms Monarez if she was a "trustworthy person" and she had replied "no", to some disbelief from his opponents in the room. He then admitted he had once described the CDC...

In an unhinged statement, former Congressman Joe Kennedy III attacked his cousin and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, claiming he has chosen to “dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.” “Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American,” the statement read. Joe Kennedy further called for RFK’s resignation from the agency. The comments come one day after RFK’s explosive Senate Finance Committee hearing, where he held his own against the relentless Democrats on the committee. Full statement below: [Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and...

Summary Official: the two speak regularly, don't share same passion Trump had played down likelihood Kennedy would make radical change Data shows COVID-19 vaccines saved lives WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is standing by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary who is upending the U.S. healthcare system, despite congressional pressure, public health concerns and the political risks of changing vaccine policies nationwide. Since becoming the top U.S. health official, Kennedy has slashed funding for vaccine research, limited access for COVID-19 shots and ousted the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which makes U.S....

BREAKING: Whistleblowers Inside HHS and CDC have just sent me critical information on an ACTIVE sabotage operation taking place within the Federal Health Departments. Left-wing career bureaucrats are in total panic over RFK Jr. shutting down their Big Pharma grift and are trying Mostrar más. This plot sees to curb Kennedy's ambitious reforms to distinguish the influence of Big Pharma and prioritize public health under the slogan "Make America Healthy Again." The manual, distributed to CDC employees, promotes tactics such as delaying orders, drafting confusing documents, and fostering uncooperative behavior to create administrative chaos.

"We are the sickest country in the world. That's why we have to fire people at the CDC ... They did not do their job! This was their job to keep us healthy!" —Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. What a gruesome spectacle it was to see HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. take on a conclave of vicious grifters on the Senate Finance Committee straining to warp reality in defense of their mighty patron, the nation-wrecking pharmaceutical companies. Do you understand how deep, convoluted, and grave the political sickness is? Over the years, the public health agencies and “big pharma” had...

There is a lot on chest thumping and harrumphing going on right now about what RFK Jr is doing at HHS. He testified before a Senate committee yesterday and handily whacked the opposition, bringing up some truly valid points. We've been lied to repeatedly: First, RFK Jr. broke down the TRUTH about Pharma’s Covid-19 coverup: “We were lied to about everything.” Democrats accused him of “politicizing” HHS—but he exposed that EVERYTHING about Pharma’s Covid narrative was a lie. “The whole process was politicized.” “We were lied to about natural immunity.” “We were told again and again the vaccines would prevent...

By some strange coincidence, no sooner did I write yesterday’s post about the thoroughly corrupt CDC and its recently-fired Director, Susan Monarez, than there turns up in today’s Wall Street Journal an op-ed by the same Ms. Monarez trying to justify herself and the agency with regard to HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. The headline is “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC and Me.” The sub-headline (online edition only) is “I was fired after 29 days because I held the line and insisted on rigorous scientific review.” The article is behind the Journal’s paywall, so I will provide some substantial quotes....

VIDEOHow many of us are desperate to be worthy of earning a Starfish pin? As we all know it is the highest honor, above that of even the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that can be bestowed upon a civilian. So when Senator Ben Ray Lujan (D)umb New Mexico refused to give his Starfish pin to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during the recent Senate Hearing it completely devastated him as you can see by the look of total grief on RFK's face in reaction to the sad news.

He told the Senate Finance Committee that Susan Monarez told him she was not ‘trustworthy.’Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he fired Susan Monarez from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because she told him she was not “trustworthy.”Kennedy’s comments came in response to questions from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during a Thursday hearing before the Senate Finance Committee about the agency’s plans. Warren had asked the secretary why he decided earlier this month to abruptly fire Monarez, then the CDC’s director, who was confirmed by the Senate in late July.“I told her she had to resign because...

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Center for Health Equity Dr. Chris T. Pernell shouted down conservative podcaster Ben Ferguson on Wednesday during a panel discussion about COVID-19. The House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released its report in December 2024 detailing how the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) allowed the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to interfere with school reopening guidance and parrot false statements about masking and vaccines. As Ferguson pointed out the CDC’s errors after “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip claimed Florida’s end to vaccine mandates would “pull the rug” from...

See video. Sen. John Kennedy who states: "We need to restore confidence and so far I don't see where Secretary Kennedy has done that. All I see over there is at the moment is a multiple vehicle pileup.” See comments. Sen. Kennedy just took a swim in the swamp sewer. Why would he do this to himself? I had a lot of respect for his common sense and he just destroyed is Rep in my book. It will be a long long time before I stop listening askance to anything this swamp rat says. He clearly lacks common sense. It's...
