Here’s what I wrote elsewhere about the Trump video on children and pharma:

I’ve listened to the video twice. He calls out big pHarma, yes, but he does not explicitly call this a vaccine safety commission.

It’s all too easy to blame contaminated food, water, and air - all of which are indeed critically important and are contributing to our ill health. In kids and adults. However, the very biggest contributor are the childhood vaccines. A commission not specifically tasked to look at those is not likely to find them as a problem.

If he does not directly address the vaccines, the vaccine issue will be kept under the rug. Disease will be blamed on inequities, climate change, and other socialist diversions. Perhaps the role of food and water (glyphosate, arsenic, nutrient depletion) and air will be acknowledged. And this would be helpful. But it will neatly sidestep the vaccines.

People will be told that the problem is them. If they just “lived healthier lifestyles,” they would need fewer of the unfortunately necessary but sometimes bearing side effects pharmaceuticals. We already see this with heart disease. People are blamed for not exercising enough or eating correctly, and thus, lamentably, needing cholesterol meds and high blood pressure meds. Rarely are people told that the current dietary guidelines actually MAKE THEM INSULIN RESISTANT AND HYPERTENSIVE, leading them to the heart disease that The Guidelines are supposedly protecting them from.

It’s nice, I guess, that he is dipping his pinky toe in the water. But he has not yet explicitly said or alleged that vaccines are the problem. At some point, especially in light of his prior reneging on the earlier vaccine commission, he needs to step in boldly like RFKJ and like, to some extent, DeSantis is doing. Keep up the pressure.

“Still, something feels off to me. The story is too perfect. It’s so neatly wrapped up, right from the jump. “

Yep. Just like Covid, and just like Ukraine.
