An important podcast that takes on the massive false propaganda campaign getting underway now that Trump 2.0 is on the way. Particularly threatened is "establishment medicine" and our health agencies that have been mired in ineffectiveness and corruption. This podcast includes reporting from Sharyl when she interviewed HHS Secretary-nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CDC Director-nominee Dr. Dave Weldon about vaccines and autism. It also exposes the campaign by D and R party leaders in Congress to bully and threaten members who pursue oversight on vaccine safety and the dangers of prescription drugs.
