The Dangerous Prospect of RFK Jr.'s Influence on Global Health

The guy is a walking contradiction, though that might be the fault of the dead worm.

 

He injects steroids whose ingredients are sourced from poorly or non-regulated Chinese labs, but eschews FDA-approved vaccines.

 

I think a better alternative career for him would be doing a remake of the Chipmunks Sing Christmas Carols, as that voice is rather unique, just like Alvin.

Buckle up America.

Covid denier in chief, you know, the one who suggested imbibing disinfectant to cure the disease (which he thought was just like a cold) has appointed an anti vaccine looney to the Health portfolio.

This post mentions Big Pharma a lot but an equally worrying prospect is the climate change denier in chief's obsession with support for Big Oil.

I think COVID is just like a cold, it certainly felt like a cold the 2x I had it (both pre and post vaccine).

America has a huge obese problem! They also have a Food Industry that barely has limits to what it can put in peoples food to make them addicted to their products! I say it is time that someone cleaned up that mess! It is really what America need! The same goes for the Medical sector charging sick prices for their meds. I say it is all a good thing.

Simply a hit piece on the upstanding RFK jnr, from a anti-nature angle.

I hear you on this.

 

Kennedy is not going to say; ''The germ theory is a fraud. The terrain is everything.'' Although he might like to. And he ain't gonna enlist Dr Tom Cowan as his right hand man. Although he should do.

 

But, what he will do, is publicly take down the Medical fraudsters and the Big Pharma pimps. The revolving doors will stop. The medical establishments that rely on Big Pharma, and government dosh, will be scrutinised more fully.

 

Will the vax manufaxrurers/suppliers be made to be liable for their products? Will doctor training take a new course? Will the kids of America not see 72 jabs before their teen years?

 

Long way to go. A lot to do. Is he the man?

Sodium fluoride , 99.9% pure, is dosed into water supply. Talk of it as a waste product is arrant nonsense.

 

In 1966, the Governor of Hawaii ended fluoridation of the water supply.

 

In 2024, Hawaii is the worst state in the USA in terms of dental cavities.

 

Hawaii has the highest rate of tooth decay in the United States for third graders, with 71% affected. In addition, 22% of third graders in Hawaii have untreated tooth decay, and 7% need urgent dental care

 

Give me a break indeed. From people who are blind to facts staring them in the face.

Can you provide a source? 

 

Grenada, Camdodia, Ecuador, Gabon, and Mauritius, are the top 5 countries with the worst dental score, Yet most of SEA, Central and latin america where they also don't use flouride in the water are not on the list. Can  you explain that or are you just going to continue to spew Democrat talking points that are not based on facts?

So you are right and I am wrong? I'm fully aware of what food does to the body.

 

Never mind about me. What about Kennedy? What about all the 'independent' researchers. Are they wrong?

 

Don't be fooled by vested interests, and compromised view-points. Do some research for yourself. Too much MSM I reckon.

The fact is,

I believe people should be able to choose to have dental cavities or not ..... it's up to them.

And you believe you have the right to choose, as a liberal, what's best for everyone else.

Meanwhile most of the western world buy bottled water to avoid the fluoride.

Shouldn't you be attacking Perrier/Mountain Dew (et al) for selling water without fluoride?

 

Totally off topic,

does Hawaii not have shops selling toothpaste with fluoride?

Maybe someone could bottle fluoridated water and sell it to them.

One huge area not even mentioned in the beat up is that RFK intends to reform packaged food, which is largely responsible for alarming obesity and climbing diabetes, worldwide. Well overdue.

Big pharma needs a big stick taken to them and I do disagree with taking fluoride from the water supply, let's see if that comes about.

The shrill emanating from the hypocritical Left and the complicit media is breathtaking and will take years for the average voter to put aside. But that tide is turning and Trump and Republicans just gave it a major shove 🤗

Meanwhile, in parts of Northern Thailand, there's waaaaaaay too much fluoride in water from some wells.

 

"This study was carried out in 2021-2022. The subjects (n=537) were all the school children in aged 6–12 years that high fluoride areas in Chiangmai, Lamphun, Lampang and Phayao provinces. Samples of drinking water were collected and their fluoride concentration determined using the standard method. The results showed that 77.7% of the subjects consume bottled water and 13.6% from piped water. Unsafe water was drunk by 27.9% of the subjects. The village waterworks at Muang district, Lamphun province had the highest fluoride concentration of 14.0 mg/l. The prevalence of dental fluorosis (moderate-severe) in the children was 11.3% also in Lamphun province".

Liberals seem to be the more unhealthy than conservatives from what I have seen, and rather than doing what they need to do to stay healthy (diet + exercise) they would rather take a pill or an injection….and force you to do the same.

 

It would be interesting to see studies on who’s lining up for Ozempic….liberals bs conservative.

 

But as you say, people should be free to choose.  I’m all for peoples freedom to choose to be fat diabetics with correlating insurance premiums.

OK, here is the personal evidence:

 

Both myself and my ex-wife are pre-fluoridation. We have both made dentists rich with fillings, caps, crowns, bridges and implants.

 

Our son is now 51. We fed him fluoride drops from the time he went to solid food, because we were on tank water, not mains supply.

 

He is a bigger sweet tooth than I am, and has had two cavities in his 51 years. Genetically, all the cards were marked against him.

 

Anti-fluoride activists are like climate deniers, Determined to be ignoramuses, in the face of overwhelming evidence.

I don't disagree too much fluoride is toxic. After all, drinking too much water results in hyponatremia. As Paracelsus said, the dose makes the poison.

 

0.5 ppm of fluoride in drinking water is perfectly safe. However, the anti-fluoriders seize on the kind of data you are posting to say all fluoride is bad. Some of them may even be smoking like chimneys, and drinking like fish, when they make the claim.

Covid is not a disease. There was no pandemic. IMO.

As I remember Singapore was developing a nasal spray. Big pharma moved in and made sure any competition went away. As for covid most evidence points towards it being a gain of function virus made in the Wuhan lab so no it's not a disease. As for a pandemic that it was. It spread around the world rapidly thanks to China and the WHO.

I believe public health measures are for the public good.

 

Tell me, if you want freedom of choice, are you willing to fund the cost of repair of your teeth?

 

Or if you are an anti-vaxxer, refusing polio and COVID shots, will you pay for an iron lung or ICU out of your own pocket?

 

Or will you want to use the public health system?

 

Fluoridated toothpaste is a topical application. Ingestion of fluoride is necessary to strengthen teeth inside and out.

I was under the impression fluoride in the stomach was poison, and it only did good while washing past the teeth.

You're supposed to spit out fluoride toothpaste .... According to the instructions.

https://www.cooldental.ca/blog/why-you-shouldnt-swallow-toothpaste#:~:text=If you swallow a small,to appear on their teeth.

 

One of the problems is no source can be trusted!

 

As for polio, it's gone, no need for everyone to be vaccinated against a disease that's gone.

 

And COVID, I caught it right at the start before the vaccine, and it was just like a normal cold, so I don't believe I needed the vaccine.

 

Obviously you only believe my body my choice when it involves killing babies.

Drug advertising

Kennedy’s distrust of the pharma industry is also evident in his opposition to direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising

 

9 hours ago, Hakuna Matata said:

Like political leaders on both sides of the aisle, Kennedy has supported measures to lower drug costs.

 

Putting aside his stupid, sectarian opposition to vaccines and medical science for a moment, RFK seems fully in line with the social democratic practices that have been going on in Europe since the dawn of time.

 

In Europe, prescription drugs are treated like tobacco: advertising to consumers is not allowed under any circumstance.

And in Europe pharmaceutical products prices are negotiated and strictly controlled by government agencies, rather than based on “how much the patient would be willing to pay at most to treat his or her ailment.”

 

The result is that drugs are much cheaper in Europe than in the US (often by a factor of 1 to 10 or 1 to 20) and yet pharmaceutical companies make healthy profits by selling them.

The losers are all the middlemen positioned between big-pharma and consumers: distributors, promoters, pharmacies, doctors, clinics and hospitals and insurance companies. Their big fat profits are kept incheck.
