🔥 Dr. Jay Bhattacharya held NOTHING back in his Senate confirmation hearing.
Covid vaccine-injured Americans will finally have a champion at NIH.
The truth about skyrocketing rates of autism will be EXPOSED.
Dissident scientists will finally be heard.
🧵THREAD
Dr. Bhattacharya pledged “five concrete goals” for NIH in his opening statement.
“Dissent is the very essence of science.”
1. “NIH research should focus on research that solves the American chronic disease crisis. American health is going backwards.”
“Life expectancy flatlined between 2012 and 2019, plummeted during the pandemic, and still has not bounced back.”
“The chronic disease crisis is severe, with hundreds of millions of Americans, children and adults, suffering from obesity, heart disease, cancer and more.”
2. “NIH-supported science should be replicable, reproducible, and generalizable. Unfortunately, much bought modern biomedical science fails this basic test.”
“The NIH itself just last year faced a research integrity scandal involving research on Alzheimer's disease that throws into question hundreds of research papers.”
“It is no stretch to think that the slow progress on Alzheimer's disease is linked to this problem. The NIH can and must solve the crisis of scientific data reliability.”
3. “If confirmed, I will establish a culture of respect for free speech in science and scientific dissent at the NIH.”
“Over the last few years, top NIH officials oversaw a culture of cover up, obfuscation, and a lack of tolerance for ideas that differ from theirs.”
4. “The NIH must recommit to its mission to fund the most innovative biomedical research agenda possible to improve American health.”
5. “The NIH must embrace, and vigorously regulate, risky research that has the possibility of causing a pandemic.”
“We must regulate risky research that has the possibility of causing a pandemic. It should embrace transparency in all its operations.”
“If confirmed, I'll carry out President Trump's agenda of making the public science institutions of this country worthy of trust and serve to Make America Healthy Again.”
Dr. Bhattacharya pledged to expose the truth about skyrocketing rates of autism.
“We have had a sharp rise in autism rates in this country.”
“I would support a broad scientific agenda to get an answer to that.”
“If I’m confirmed as NIH Director, the one level I will have is to give people good data.”
In response to Dr. Bhattacharya’s pledge to find the truth about the prevalence of autism …
Senator Bill Cassidy compared the belief that there is a link between vaccines and autism the belief that the world is flat and Elvis is still alive.
“There's people who disagree that the world is round—and I say that not to minimize these people’s concerns—but people still think Elvis is alive.”
“Just because somebody is upset about something, do we have the opportunity cost of devoting resources at something which has already been pretty well examined?”
President Trump, RFK Jr. and Dr. Bhattacharya will lead the most transparent Administration in American history.
Dr. Bhattacharya: “You can't have trust unless you are transparent.”
“If I'm confirmed as NIH Director, I fully commit to making sure that the American people can see all of the activities of the NIH openly.”
Dr. Bhattacharya called out NIH funding for dangerous gain-of-function research.
“I don’t think the NIH should be doing any research that has the potential to cause a pandemic.”
Senator Rand Paul SLAMMED the insanity of funding bioweapons labs in Ukraine despite the war and conflict that has plagued the country since 2014.
“I was personally subject to censorship by the Biden Administration during the pandemic.”
Dr. Bhattacharya pledged his support to free speech and dissident scientists as NIH Director.
“It was so refreshing to be able to speak my scientific views in Florida during the pandemic.”
“The root problem was that people who had alternative ideas were suppressed.”
RFK Jr. pledged the same transparency for HHS.
“Nothing is gonna be off-limits.”
“The childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFAS, PFOAs, microplastics.”
“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formally taboo or insufficiently scrutinized.”
“That is gonna be our template: unbiased science.”
“Let's all depoliticize these issues and reestablish a common ground or action and renew the search for existential truth with no political impediments and no preconceptions.”
Americans injured by Covid-19 vaccines will FINALLY have a champion at NIH in Dr. Bhattacharya.
Senator Andy Kim: “Are there any vaccines that you are concerned about?”
Dr. Bhattacharya: “I was concerned about the Covid vaccines for young men causing myocarditis in 2021.”
Dr. Bhattacharya SLAMMED the totalitarian approach to science during the pandemic.
“Science should be an engine for knowledge and freedom, not something that stands on top of society and says you must do this or else.”
“It shouldn’t be pushing Covid vaccines.”
“The proper role of scientists in a pandemic is to answer basic questions that policy makers have about what the right policy should be.”
“The role of scientists shouldn’t be to say you can’t send your kids to school for two years.”
“If science is a force for freedom and knowledge, it will have universal support.”

Over the weekend, RFK Jr. gave two EXPLOSIVE interviews covering all things MAHA.
Food, vaccines, prayer, budget cuts—you name it.
MAHA isn’t just shaking things up in the U.S. anymore.
It’s changing the world.

RFK Jr. sat down with Brazilian reporter André Marinho for a wide-ranging MAHA interview.
Marinho asked if Trump’s order to tie U.S. drug prices to global lows could raise prices abroad.
RFK Jr. said it’s time the rest of the world stops freeloading off American taxpayers.
Marinho: “Many Brazilians, and I would guess citizens of the whole world, are kind of worried that this could push drug companies to raise prices abroad.”
RFK Jr: “The United States basically pays for global pharmaceutical research.”
“We account for about 70% of the profits for the pharmaceutical industry and we’re only 4.2% of the world's population.”
“The reason for that is that other countries simply won't pay for it.”
“What we've now told the drug companies is whatever the lowest price that you're charging in any other nation, that's what you're gonna charge here.”
“The other countries have kind of gotten a free ride on The United States because they're getting the benefit of all of our research in there.”
“They ought to be paying their fair share.”
“We spend about 8% of our GDP on drugs, and in Europe they spend 3%.”
“We'd like to see them bring that up to maybe like 6%.”
Sen. Ron Johnson held one of the most gut-wrenching Senate hearings ever, titled Voices of the Vaccine Injured.
Families who lost loved ones—or suffered devastating injuries—were finally given a voice.
Their stories were raw, painful, and long overdue.
Thread🧵
Senator Ron Johnson opened the hearing by stating its purpose.
To give a platform to the vaccine injured—and to families whose loved ones paid the ultimate price.
“The purpose of today's hearing is to give a platform to those individuals and families who have been abandoned, their injuries and suffering dismissed and forgotten.”
The hearing was filled with countless heartbreaking testimonies.
One came from Children’s Health Defense’s Polly Tommey, who spoke about the devastating stories she’s heard again and again from families of the vaccine injured.
“We took a bus, and we traveled around America listening to parents and what had happened to them when they vaccinated their children.”
“What we saw was utterly horrific.”
“We saw so much death following baby vaccines.”
“These parents would vaccinate their perfectly healthy child, and then their child would die.”
“I've interviewed so many parents, and one comes to mind.”
“At four months old, Ms. Bundy pleaded with the doctor, ‘Should I vaccinate my child, he's premature?’”
“‘Oh, yes’, said the pediatrician, ‘If you don't vaccinate your baby, he could die of whooping cough.’”
“She vaccinated that baby, and he was dead in his crib.”
“That is the same story we hear over and over again.”
“These childhood vaccinations, the people of America are telling us, they are not safe and effective.”
