I watched the entire Senate hearing with RFK Jr.

I need to set the record straight.

And I have a message for the Senators who have presided over the mass poisoning of our children.

I’m about to expose how Pharma bought out Congress, transformed the FDA, NIH, and CDC into corrupt profit centers, and mass poisoned our children.

🧵

Congress passed the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980.

That converted the NIH and the CDC into profit centers—not public health agencies.

The people who develop products can patent them, meaning that they are now beholden to their own profits rather than to the American people.

Then, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act in 1986.

They said they were creating a system to make it easier for parents whose children had been injured by these shots.

But here’s what really happened:

The pharmaceutical industry got a blank check to make more and more of these shots.

The CDC’s recommended schedule then TRIPLED.

Then, the CDC utterly abdicated its responsibility to oversee the program.

That law required the CDC to deliver reports every two years on how they were making the program safer—but they’ve done exactly zero reports since 1986.

In 1992, Congress passed the Prescription Drug User Fee Act.

This converted the FDA into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.

It allowed the pharmaceutical industry to pay the FDA user fees in order to fast-track their drugs.

Roughly 65% of the drug approvers salaries at FDA come directly from the user fees paid by the pharmaceutical industry.

This is not in the benefit of American people or our children—it’s to line their pockets and do the bidding of the pharmaceutical industry.

What’s most glaring of all is this:

During this entire time, American children have gotten sicker and sicker and sicker.

Congress has presided over this—and hasn’t said a word about it.

There’s no alarm being raised that 1 in 11 or 12 kids have asthma.

No alarm that 1 in 5 or 6 kids have learning disabilities, speech delays, neurodevelopmental problems.

No alarm about skyrocketing rates of obesity, allergies, or cancer.

Now, Senators desperately trying to fight the only person who has ever tried to EXPOSE it—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I have a message for these Senators:

We see who you are.

We see that you are literally shills for the pharmaceutical industry.

We see you for the traitors that you are to the American public.

And we are not going to forget.
