Dr. Richard Bresser's response to RFK's firing of vaccination experts.

Whatever you may think about RFK, this is long overdue. California led the way in 2023, other states have followed suit. Now we'll see if the states rights crowd will get behind this "overreach" by the "Federal government". There will be push back. Shall we poison our children for better profits?

China is not a contractor to be stiffed on a bill. They cannot be bullied into settling. Trump cannot win this game with Xi. China's history from the warlords to Mao to today should tell us they play the long game and are willing to absorb economic and social pain that America is not.

This is what's wrong with America. Great article. "A pastor in Texas stood before his congregation and proudly announced that their school had the lowest vaccination rate in the state. With balloons and celebratory T-shirts, he praised their community for what he called “freedom of health.”"

Despite spending more on health care than every other high-income country, the US had comparably higher avoidable mortality, which includes deaths that can be avoided through timely prevention and access to high-quality health care. Data from WHO, no wonder Trump wants to cut ties.

Show this to Trump supporters. "America’s 25 richest individuals found that they collectively paid an effective tax rate of just 3.4 percent on their total wealth gain from 2014 to 2018. Musk paid 3.3 percent, Jeff Bezos 1 percent, and Buffett just 0.1 percent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I have never witnessed anything so brutal. Zelensky had to sit there while two incompetent hacks, with no understanding of world politics, a failed businessman and an author, told him he had no cards. War as a poker game. Hopefully the world will be forgiving when this is over, if we all survive.
