Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

Bill Cassidy was performing the role of a soap opera doctor at the RFK Jr. hearings. He is, in fact, a doctor. But he was performing. How do I know this? Because he voted to confirm RFK Jr. Naturally Cassidy is now spinning like a top as the RFK backfire has already begun.

“I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm". Sen Bill Cassidy swore this under oath, then voted to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of HHS. Now critical meetings about vaccines are being cancelled. Cassidy is corrupt fraud who pretended to be concerned and then screwed over the US.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
