Francesca and Wajahat unpack RFK’s latest comments on vaccines and autism. Plus, the Conspirituality podcast’s Derek Beres breaks down the motivations of the MAHA movement.
I really try to be an understanding and empathetic person, and elite universities acting, well, elitist, the spreading of rampant and deadly vaccination mis- and disinformation, and RFK, Jr. saying absolutely anything greatly tries my better nature. And now RFK, Jr., head of the HHS, is establishing registries, ala the Nazis, to better identify those with autism who apparently can't play baseball, don't wear sweaters, are not good dancers, and don't play drums. WTAF?!
In this inflationary time for Americans with a deteriorating purchasing power of the fiat dollar(witness the rise in gold price which reflects this loss) due to the massive quantitative easing done by the Fed over decades, financial struggles for average Americans will come into sharp focus
The largest credit bubble in world history has been popped prompted by the Strongman and the equity markets are reflecting this With 3 straight days of greater 1600+ points/day this will not play out well and will tank the American and global economy
The country needs to go back on a gold standard that a Republican Nixon took us off which allowed egregious spending on both sides Bonds are going to be problematic when foreign investors stop buying our debt With China now alienated and the largest purchaser of our debt there will be a true currency crisis
This makes the Nazi attempt at decimating Social Security even more dangerous for Americans trying to make ends meet Fortunately the Orange Cheeto's admin is incompetent
Believe trump when he says it, even if it is unconstitutional, does not mean he will not try. If we allow this to happen? It will be our fault and our making, vote according to what you see, know and understand what we are up against. Instead of focusing on 2028, let’s focus on NOW, how our democratic system is being gutted, stolen and destroyed by manipulating our sensing. Don’t fall for trumps’ Okie-Doke. Expose trump and his cronies corruption and criminal acts. Judges do your job, people resist and don’t forget your voice, vote and dollars matters.
I'm 86. I had measles at 19 going on 20 in late 1950s, was vilely ill. Needed glasses right away, began losing hearing in one ear, which went silent about 15 years ago. There was no vaccine back then. It's a very serious disease, very serious. RFK jr, Ugh. And his trashing of people with autism, deliberately misdescribing them with contempt as in his apparent view unable to do anything. Hateful, vile.
In response to your invitation about what to cover, I would suggest sex/gender diversity (trans identities and expressions). Recently, John Oliver did a bang up show on athletes, and there are many provocative and timely discussions to have about things most persons never talk about beyond pink and blue. I might suggest inviting Riki Ann Wilchins, Susan Stryker or Kate Bornstein as towering figures in our communities from days past when they challenged the exclusionary policies of the Michigan Womyns Music Festival ("no penises in the land") and protested the Nebraska authorities' response to the murder of Brandon Teena (Hilary Swank won the Oscar for best actor (actress?) for the film version in 1999. Over my 30+ years of social/political activism and psychotherapy practice in Nevada, I have found over and over and over how fundamental talking about sex/gender diversity is in calling out hate in many contexts.

I urge you to look at the autism timeline posted today on RFK's Children's Health Defense website. It's factual and contains links to papers showing the urgent need for a full study on autism. This study can only be done by compiling statistics, and that is why a registry is so important. The most recent study of 47,000 9-year-olds from Medicaid stats shows an alarming association between number of vaccines received and rates of many neurodevelopmental disorders, including ASD. Compiling information on who has autism, who doesn't, and what other factors may be involved is a crucial first step in pin-pointing the cause or causes of autism. Link below:

Thanks for the show and highlighting the HHS incompetence at the hands of RFK Jr. and the trump administration. Will we ever come back from this?
