John Stossel: " If your kids were young now, would you give them the measles, the mumps vaccine?"

RFK Jr.: "No. I got measles, mumps when I was a kid..."

John Stossel: "Lots of people die from them used to die from those diseases."

RFK Jr.: "You know what, they died in the nineteen hundreds or early nineteen hundreds. There were about ten thousand Americans a year died. In 1964, there was about three or four hundred who died, and they were almost all, severely malnourished kids, mainly from the Mississippi Delta."

"This is before the poverty program, so there was was a lot of starving children in our country. It's it's very, very hard to kill a healthy child with any infectious disease, but particularly with measles. And the World Health Organization now says vitamin A is a absolute cure for measles, which we didn't know about back then."

"Back then, you know, we were treated with chicken soup, and and it was, you know, a a week at home watching Leave It to Beaver, and every kid caught it. Every single kid got it. And I had 11 brothers and sisters, and we all got it, and we were all fine."

"And there are lots and lots of studies out there now that show that kids who get measles as a child are much healthier when they grow up, that they're much more resistant to cancers, to atopic diseases, to allergies, and to, and to heart disease."

atopic diseases

Seem to be inflammations of the skin, like eczema.

He's got the stats down pat. The vax 'guilt trip' doesn't work on him. Curses!

Newly confirmed HHS Secretary Kennedy explicitly declared his first war— a war on the nation’s chronic disease problem. “Nothing, he said, “is going to be off limits,” even though “some of the possible factors we will investigate were formerly taboo.” The former lawyer and author emphasized, “I’m willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science.”

Neither Politico nor any other corporate media article about his remarkable announcement quoted the most important part, where Kennedy listed examples of “formerly taboo” health areas where research was forbidden. The list is getting remarkably lengthy.

Kennedy said, “We will study the causes of the drastic rise in chronic disease … the childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra-processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFA’s, PFOA’s — nothing is going to be off limits.” ...

Like the other Trump initiatives, Kennedy is going all out. His list of “formerly taboo” topics was also an implicit declaration of war against the entire modern public health-industrial complex—vaccines, Big Ag, Big Pharma, telecom, and chemical manufacturers all in one fell swoop. No wonder Politico and the rest of corporate media carefully avoided quoting it. They don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.

RFK’s “nothing is off limits” approach is exactly what public health should have been always doing (damn their bespectacled eyes!) but from avarice, or cowardice, or both, hasn’t. Too many powerful interests profit from chronic disease. The system was designed to manage illness, not prevent it.

Note RFK's comment that the processed food industry moved scientists who worked for the tobacco industry to make cigarettes more addictive into the processed food industry to make processed food more addictive. The more brightly colored and cartoonish the packaging, the more addictive and poisonous. Good nutrition is 'inconvenient'?

Know your rancher. That's what I've been doing for 15 years - 100% grass fed beef from family farms. Can't beat the flavor and nutrition.

After I eat real beef, I have to nap - my body compels me to process this food immediately. This doesn't happen with factory farm meat.

How much per pound for such meat?

@Patrick

It's local to NYS, so they can't ship to you. I'll list a place when I was in TX and the one I buy from now in PRNY:

Ground beef 80% lean - $9.60 for 36+ pounds. Steak cuts are really expensive ($20+ per pound) so we just get stew meat or fajita meat for <$20/lb.

If you find a local farmer of grass-fed beef - get the flap steak. Marinate it for a few hours using Goya Moho Criollo, then grill on high until 140 degrees internal temperature. It's so fucking awesomely beefy - served with an olive oil/garlic/cilantro seasoning, and grilled veggies and possibly refired beans.

My son has been eating this shit since he was born - he's got a size 12 shoe and weighs more than me even though he's lean. Food makes the man.

Scores of U.S. food suppliers have stepped up and pledged to remove petroleum-based dyes from their products. We’re excited to partner with them to get this done! Thanks to @cvpayne for having @DrOzCMS and me on.

Why Vinay Prasad was fired from FDA

-> Sarepta spends years making drug
-> drug is really awful, no benefit
-> studies are so cooked and terrible FDA regulators are horrified and say studies are so bad
-> regulators overruled
-> drug gets approved
-> $3.2 million/injection
-> patient advocacy groups criticize drug
-> Sarepta threatens them with lawsuit
-> drug explodes livers
-> drug kills someone every other month
-> Sarepta hides third death from investors
-> FDA's Vinay Prasad strikes with ban hammer
-> Sarepta stock falls to all-time low, down 88%
-> Sarepta burning $1B/yr, about to go bankrupt
-> Sarepta to FDA: f*ck you, we are going to keep selling the drug
-> Sarepta panics privately, hires top former Trump strategist
-> strategist goes to Laura Loomer
-> Laura Loomer smears Prasad, who loves Trump and hates Fauci
-> digs up 5-yo Prasad posts saying he hates Trump and loves Fauci
-> Loomer writes pharma lobby talking points about rare diseases using words she doesn't understand
-> Sarepta pretends to comply with FDA while Loomer works
-> top PhRMA lobbyist copies the smears in Real Clear Health, cites Sarepta
-> online pharma-run sock puppet accounts, probably run by strategist, start smearing Prasad
-> WSJ copies the smears, cites Sarepta
-> RFK Jr. praises Prasad privately
-> FDA commissioner Marty Makary praises Prasad publicly, calls him impeccable scientist
-> strategist gives video to Loomer of Prasad making fun of Trump Derangement Syndrome
-> strategist/Loomer edits the video to make it look like Prasad is the one with Trump Derangement Syndrome
-> Rick Santorum spam dials Trump, screams about innovation and children
-> Ron Johnson spam dials Trump, same thing
-> Trump says why do I have to deal with this sh*t my god why is Indian guy in FDA causing so much trouble
-> Trump asks: does he really have a voodoo doll of me that he stabs?
-> Bill Cassidy: wow this guy hates Trump, I saw the edited video from 5 years ago, that proves it
-> Trump, wanting to be left alone, fires Prasad
-> Democrats in FDA post petulant things on FDA office walls celebrating Prasad's firing
-> Republicans: "innovation is saved"
-> Sarepta stock price doubles
-> FDA regulators now terrified of drug companies, will approve anything they want
-> victory for pharma, defeat for America
-> banana Republic sh*t

OK for the first time in probably 20 years, I actually had a loaf of bread turn green in a week or less.

I don't know if MAGA and RFK Jr. has anything to do with it. Also the bread last week seemed softer and more like the gluten from before. Rather than the spray foam we've been eating for 20 years.
The Winn Dixie Italian bread I bought on Saturday was unlike any I have gotten from any grocery store bakery in a while.
The shelf bread that turned green on my counter was Nature's Own Whole Wheat.

For those of you puzzled by this post. For at least 20 years, you could buy a loaf of bread and it will keep on your counter for weeks and weeks, and still feel like a sofa cushion. Eventually it will get some white powdery mold on the bottom. But you might attribute that to flour from the baker.
Who knows what we've been eating.
