This 45-second clip with Dr. Peter Hotez is difficult to watch.

A mom from Texas desperately asks him why she keeps getting “really bad” COVID.

She got three COVID shots, took multiple rounds of Paxlovid, but she keeps “getting COVID often.”

Dr. Hotez tells the woman that her repeated COVID infections are basically her fault for skipping boosters.

WOMAN: “I’m getting COVID often. I took Paxlovid the third time, and then a few weeks later I got it again. COVID was really bad on me.”

HOTEZ: “After you had your first two immunizations way back in 2021, did you get boosters regularly?”

WOMAN: “I got one booster, and then after that I stopped getting them.”

HOTEZ: “Yeah. So that’s the reason why you keep up with the boosters.”

The saddest part about this interaction is that the woman was so convinced by Hotez that getting COVID was her fault that she was eager to get another booster shot after the show.

This is an extreme case of medical gaslighting that is easy to spot.

But what about when it’s not?

What about the times you did everything your doctor recommended—only to find yourself worse off than when you started? 🧵

Something seismic has happened to public health in America—and most people haven’t fully processed its scale.

A 2025 JAMA study surveying pregnant mothers and parents of young children found that only 37% fully trusted the CDC vaccine schedule and planned to follow it completely.

Five years ago, a number that low would have been unimaginable.

So what’s causing the drop? And what does it mean?

To understand the big picture and why it matters, you need the baseline.

In 2000, only 19% of parents had concerns about vaccines. By 2009, that number was 50%. And by 2013, 9% had declined all immunizations, while 32% had safety concerns.

The medical establishment found those numbers alarming. But what we’re looking at today is in a different category entirely.

In the 1930s to the early 60s, Americans were convinced smoking was healthy.

Doctors proudly appeared in cigarette ads. “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.”

The public was given a clear message: If physicians smoked themselves, how dangerous could it possibly be?

At its peak, more than 42% of American adults smoked, with rates among men climbing as high as 57%.

Business was booming. But behind the scenes, tobacco companies already knew smoking was linked to deadly disease.

Internal research pointed to the dangers early, yet the industry spent years funding doubt, attacking critics, and delaying public awareness long enough to keep the machine running.

Then came January 11, 1964.

The U.S. Surgeon General released the report that changed everything: smoking causes lung cancer and other deadly illnesses.

Almost overnight, one of the most trusted health narratives in America began to collapse.

And it wasn’t the only one.

In the 1940s and 1950s, lobotomies were celebrated as a revolutionary treatment for mental illness. Walter Freeman traveled the country performing thousands of “ice-pick” procedures, sometimes in minutes, sometimes on children.

The technique even earned a Nobel Prize.

Years later, it was widely condemned as barbaric, after leaving countless patients permanently damaged.

Today, we look back at both eras with disbelief and wonder how entire generations came to trust ideas that later proved so catastrophically wrong.

But the more uncomfortable question is harder to escape:

How many medical “certainties” we trust today will future generations one day look back on the same way? 🧵

We hold thousands of assumptions we never question.

Most of them are fine. The dangerous ones are the unquestioned assumptions that aren’t.

This is about what it actually looks like to prioritize truth over being right.

Including when that means publicly correcting something you’ve believed for decades.

Let’s start with a story.

For decades, a widely repeated narrative has appeared in critiques of Western medicine:

That 19th century surgeon James Marion Sims performed experimental gynecological surgeries on enslaved black women without anesthesia—using them as test subjects before performing the same procedures on white women, with anesthesia.

It felt obviously, viscerally wrong. Most people never questioned it.

They just react to it.

As it turns out, what the historical record actually shows is considerably different.

The condition Sims treated—vesicovaginal fistula—was devastating and had no cure at the time. Suffering women were desperate for relief and willingly consented to the procedures.

Ether was brand new, highly controversial, and carried real risks. Sims and other surgeons of the era didn’t believe the pain of these specific operations justified those risks—and applied the same standard regardless of the patient’s race.

The women he worked with helped each other through their recoveries, assisted in surgeries, and pushed him to continue when he wanted to stop. He acknowledged his debt to them publicly. He operated at his own expense.

The narrative most people know about James Marion Sims had been assembled to support a political argument, not drawn from the historical record. And in 2018, after significant protest, his statue in New York City was removed.

REPORT: Across America, farmers are reporting scenes straight out of a nightmare, mysterious boxes of ticks appearing on rural properties while infestations explode at levels many say they’ve never witnessed before.

Now those reports are colliding with documented Bill Gates-funded research into genetically modified ticks, growing fears over Alpha-Gal Syndrome, and scientific papers openly arguing it could be “morally good” to spread meat allergies through engineered tick populations.

Social media is flooding with horrifying footage of animals overwhelmed by massive tick swarms while officials wave the crisis away as “climate change.” Meanwhile, more than 450,000 Americans are already suffering from Alpha-Gal Syndrome after tick bites, a condition with no cure that can trigger severe allergic reactions to red meat.

Even more alarming, Russian biologists are now warning about so-called “mutant ticks” reportedly resistant to conventional methods and behaving far more aggressively toward humans and animals.

So why is nobody in authority seriously investigating the reports, the research, or where these infestations may really be coming from?

@zeeemedia's new report uncovers the disturbing connections raising alarm bells across rural America.

There are two financial systems—one for the connected, and one for everyone else.

While most people struggle to grow their savings, the wealthy have been quietly multiplying theirs through crypto.

Now, that advantage can be yours.

Meanwhile, young Americans are openly revolting against the billionaire-led AI agenda.

At graduation ceremonies across the country, students are now booing the people telling them “the AI revolution” will reshape society, while quietly threatening the careers they spent years and thousands of dollars preparing for.

In back-to-back commencement speeches, executives took the stage expecting applause for their vision of an AI-dominated future. Instead, they were met with visible disgust from young people completely fed up with the tech elites already reshaping modern life around surveillance, automation, and dependency.

These students don’t sound inspired anymore. They sound betrayed.

See the moment the crowd turns on the AI sales pitch in @zeeemedia's explosive report.

David and Brenda McDowell got their triplets vaccinated with the pneumococcal shot, only for all three children to “shut off on the SAME DAY.”

The first child to get jabbed was their daughter Claire, who “never really stopped screaming after that.” Within hours post-vax, Claire “shut completely off.”

By 2 p.m., Claire’s brother Richie “shut off,” too. And his raspberry-blowing and furniture walking suddenly disappeared.

“Robbie looked like he was hit by a bus. Robbie, from that moment on, had a stunned look on his face. If you asked or said his name, he still acted deaf and acted like he couldn’t hear.”

All three were later diagnosed with severe autism. Only one, Robbie, showed partial recovery after years of therapy.

These injuries aren’t random. They happen when multiple core systems in the body fail at the same time.

Vaccine injuries make that breakdown visible, pointing to a root cause of disease almost no one is taught to look for. 🧵

Most chronic diseases aren’t mysterious. They’re misunderstood.

When symptoms don’t fit neatly into a known diagnosis, doctors are taught to rule things out, not step back, ask what systems might be failing, and find out why.

When nothing obvious shows up on a scan or lab test, the explanation often shifts toward stress, anxiety, or something “psychological.”

Vaccine injuries quietly expose this flaw, because they don’t damage one system at a time. They disrupt multiple systems at once, making the real problem impossible to ignore.

And when it happens to infant triplets at the exact same time, it couldn’t be more obvious.

Complex illness rarely looks the same from person to person. After all, we’re all pretty different. Different bodies, different medical histories, different environments—so many different variables.

So it should come as no surprise that one person develops fatigue and pain, another develops neurological symptoms, and another experiences mood changes or cognitive decline.

Medicine tends to treat these symptoms as separate diseases. But what if the symptoms stem from the same internal breakdown?

That’s why conditions like autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, long COVID, and post-vaccine syndromes overlap so much.

Different symptoms don’t always mean different causes. They simply reflect different parts of the body struggling under the same underlying stress.

And unfortunately, one-size-fits all medicine isn’t able to see it.

If you thought “Ozempic face” was bad, wait till you hear what it’s doing inside the body.

A massive study involving 16 million people found GLP-1 users had a 9.09 times greater risk of pancreatitis, 4.22 times greater risk of bowel obstruction, and a 3.67 times greater risk of stomach paralysis.

And if you’ve ever had pancreatitis, it is “quite a painful experience.”

What you’re hearing on the news about Ozempic is still too little, too late.

Here’s the story you’re not getting about Ozempic, the business model behind it, and why a growing number of researchers believe another pharmaceutical disaster is already unfolding in real time. 🧵

In early 2023, JP Morgan hosted its annual healthcare conference—a private, invitation-only event it describes as “the industry’s biggest gathering.”

The keynote speakers included the chairman of JPMorgan Chase, the CEO of Eli Lilly, and several managing directors of major healthcare venture capital firms.

The fourth keynote was Dr. Robert Califf.

His day job at the time: Commissioner of Food and Drugs for the United States Food and Drug Administration.

Hmm…

This wasn’t a public health symposium. It wasn’t an academic conference.

It was specifically designed for large investors, and its explicit purpose was to set the pharmaceutical industry’s financial priorities for the year ahead.

A pharmaceutical safety advocate named Kim Witczak obtained what she could from the conference’s public-facing website.

But what was being said behind closed doors?

The world’s second most published critical care doctor says they’ve been lying to you about the sun for decades.

Dr. Paul Marik says there’s no reason to fear the sun; you should embrace it.

Because when you get adequate levels of vitamin D, your risk of cancer goes down, depression symptoms alleviate, and your immune system functions far better.

What about sunscreens? Dr. Marik advises against it because “it defeats the purpose.”

“There’s some data that sunscreens increase your risk of melanoma — paradoxically.”

Similar to how Big Pharma doesn’t like the “I drug” (Ivermectin) for treating COVID-19, Dr. Marik explained they also don’t like Vitamin D for general health and well-being.

Why? Because if you are in good health and devoid of chronic disease, there’s less money to be made.

Big Pharma played us. They propagandized the masses into fearing an essential component of human life.

Here’s what they don’t want you to know about the sun vs. artificial light—and what happens when your body is cut off from natural light. 🧵

The further north humans migrated away from the equator—and away from the sun—the lighter their skin became.

That’s not cosmetic. It’s a survival adaptation.

The human body, recognizing it wasn’t capturing enough light, made itself more transparent to capture whatever remained.

We evolved to need light the way we need food.

But in our modern lives, we commute in sealed cars, work 8 hour shifts under fluorescent lights, and go home to screens in the comfort of our artificially lit homes.

And we wonder why we’re sick.

In a 20-year study following 29,518 women, researchers found that those who avoided the sun were 60% more likely to die—with heart disease showing the greatest mortality difference.

A separate large study found that high solar UVB exposure halved one’s risk of both breast and prostate cancer.

The data is there. And it’s been available for decades. But almost no one talks about it.

Why? Because no one profits from sunlight.
