Authored by Debra Heine via American Greatness, In his first address to staffers at the Department of Health and Human Services, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. promised that “nothing is going to be off limits” in his pursuit to reduce the chronic disease epidemic.
“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formerly taboo or insufficiently scrutinized,” Kennedy told HHS staff, Tuesday morning. “I’m willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science.”
Some of these previously taboo concerns, he said, include “the childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFAS, PFOAs, microplastics.”
RFK Jr. reminded HHS staff that an “overwhelming majority” of our Founding Fathers were “citizen scientists,” including “Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush, a physician, Julian Bartlett, a physician, Matthew Thornton, a physician, and Oliver Wolcott, a physician.”

Antidepressants and SSRIs are hardly “taboo.” Wonder how many people are aware German regulators didn’t initially approve Prozac (the mother of SSRI’s) for two reasons?
1) efficacy questioned
2) risk of suicide
Eventually they did approve with recommendation to be given with a tranquilizer. 🤔

THIS IS THE MOST RADICAL CHANGE IN HHS IN HISTORY. ANY DEMOCRAT RUNNING IN 2028 WILL HAVE TO PLEDGE TO KEEP HIM AT HHS.
