Trump’s picks to run all the federal health agencies guarantees major change is coming
Trump defiant
Fight! Fight! Fight! The announcement late yesterday that president-elect Donald Trump has picked Jay Bhattacharya, the director of Stanford University’s Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging, to head the National Institutes of Health (NIH) underlined quite forcefully the certainty that the outsider nature of all of Trump’s picks to head all the health-related agencies in the federal government will led to major changes in how those agencies operate.
Bhattacharya had been blacklisted for his very vocal opposition to the government’s lockdown and mandate policies during the COVID epidemic. He along with Martin Kulldorff, one of the world’s foremost experts on vaccines and who was also blacklisted during the epidemic, co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration that strongly criticized the policies of imposed by these health agencies, calling instead for a return to the standard response to infectious diseases that had been followed successfully for more than a century.
Putting Bhattacharya in charge of NIH is incredibly ironic. When he along with Kulldorff had come out opposed to the lockdown and jab mandates advocated by Francis Collins, then-head of the NIH, Collins in league with Anthony Fauci, then head of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), put together a back-room campaign to have Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, and many others blacklisted across social media. This campaign also had Kulldorf removed as a member of the CDC’s vaccine safety advisory committee.
Two years later, Collins is now gone, is being sued for his actions, and Bhattacharya has replaced him.
Trump’s defiant choice of Bhattacharya however is only one of many similar decisions, beginning last month with the choice of Robert Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services.
On Tuesday the president-elect also nominated Jim O’Neill – a former federal health official and close ally of conservative donor Peter Thiel – as deputy secretary of the health department. … Trump has also picked Marty Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon who opposed the Covid-19 vaccine mandate, to run the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dave Weldon, a physician and former Republican congressman who has also cast doubt on vaccine safety, was picked to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Kennedy and O’Neill’s department of health would oversee the agencies run by Makary, Weldon and Bhattacharya, but all five need to be confirmed by the Senate.
Last week Trump also nominated TV personality Dr Mehmet Oz to be the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator.
All have to be confirmed by the Senate, but we should not expect that to be a problem. Not only is the Senate controlled by Republicans, the public is firmly in favor of Trump’s actions here. It is unlikely the opposition in the Senate will be strong enough to block their approval.
More important, every single one of these picks were very vocal opponents of the disastrous and scientifically wrong policies imposed by these agencies during the epidemic. Every single one of them will now be in a position to force major change at these agencies, and they will be able to do so in tandem, working together to fight off any resistance by the bureaucrats below them.
Making the government once again use the Truth booth
Expect major changes to come fast and furious in the government health community. Expect significant cuts in staffing, and a major change in how grants are issued, and to whom. Above all, expect a radical change in the health advice these agencies issue to the public. No longer will the COVID jab be promoted blindly. No longer will mask and social distancing be advocated, since neither accomplish anything, and the former can actually increase the chances you will get sick.
Instead, these new appointees will simply go back to the standard advice given for decades before the COVID panic made people lose their minds. Wash your hands, quarantine the sick only, and let new respiratory illnesses spread quickly through the rest of the population in order to bring about herd immunity as fast as possible and thus best protect the elderly and chronically ill from such diseases.
Or to put it another way, the government will no longer be using fear to justify a grab for power. It will instead be following what is known and issuing advice based on that actual knowledge.
What a concept!

Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

It used to be libertarian/conservatives who attacked “protectionism” in favor of free trade.
My how the worm has turned.
Such good news, a rarity in these times. It’s enough to give a person hope.
https://theblogginghounds.com/2024/11/23/big-pharma-panic-sets-in/
We’re starting to see the results of a big pharmaceuticals emergency meeting on how to fight back against truth, sanity, and the breaking of the illusion that they are here to help us.
An NPR guest of the official vaccine Doctor spokesman /pharmaceutical representative declared that the world would come to an end without their vaccines, that JFK is the worst thing to happen since Hitler, Pol Pot, Genghis Khan. He went on and on about the destruction of everything the pharmaceuticals built and how Trump and JFK must be stopped!
JFK has won repeatedly in court proving his case. No vaccine has had a double blind study. How can they? When they’re working on this year‘s vaccine for last year‘s flu?
When Congress (Hillary Clinton) gave the pharmaceuticals immunity, they set up a congressional committee to oversight the vaccines to prevent any that may have caused harm. (it made everyone feel good) by law the congressional committee must meet once a year to go over the data… That was nearly 30 years ago and they still haven’t met once! (but we feel good?) The right to try may give people hope, but it resulted in every new drug bypassing animal trials because they’re allowed to test on humans. I went to a funeral last week of my daughters mother-in-law who is taking a new drug to shrink her two year old brain tumors… The same ones that showed up after taking her third Covid shot… And it worked, unfortunately it destroyed her liver in just a few weeks and she died. How many others are dying?
After the EPA lost in court in California! Florida has taken the first step improving everyone’s health that drinks water. Robert Kennedy Junior‘s website;
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/florida-surgeon-general-urges-end-water-fluoridation/
All the health benefits the government has been promoting for 50 years have turned out to be completely falsified… Who would’ve thunk it that you can’t trust your government. They give you poison and they tell you it’s a vitamin. Fluoride is more toxic and harmful than lead.
In Utah they said; “we needed to be just like all the other states”. They started adding fluoride to the water even though there is natural fluoride throughout the great basin and most drinking water exceeds the national limit naturally. Instead of removing half the fluoride to be like everyone else, they put more fluoride in the water because “it’s the law” resulting in poor health, Low IQ, hyper activity, stunted growth, fluorosis of the teeth and bones. Hardening of ligaments causing muscles to detach from the bones… All in the name of public health. Dentists make a killing here removing all those small, chipping misshapen teeth. Then they offer fluoride treatments… Insanity!
Unfortunately the government is stepping up it’s “campaign of fear” about Bird flu, killing millions of chickens/turkeys and soon cows.
https://ag.utah.gov/poultry-hpai/
(Disease isn’t killing the chickens, it’s the government)
https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/spotlights/h5n1-response-11152024.html
(They test and test and test until they get a positive result)
Although they admit that no one has been hospitalized, and they’re having trouble isolating the virus, they’re spending millions to get farmworkers to wear masks and protective clothing as if each cow is a walking timebomb. (The cdc advertisement announcement at the bottom of that article) they learned that from Pfizer, how to buy off the local media to tell only their side. All first amendment rights have been pre-purchased by the bio defense department. You’re right “to remain silent” will be enforced.
As one farmer mentioned in a radio interview, they come out here and give my cows Vaccines flu/Covid shots and the cows get sick, then they come back out and test positive for bird flu? Then they offer me money for compensation when they destroy my herd that was more than if I took them to the market. I have every financial incentive in destroying my herd every year from now on. Just like the farmers paid not to raise crops.
They’re going after raw milk in California saying that it’s not safe because it’s not pasteurized… (Virus is not alive and pasteurization “cooking” only destroys the milk nutritional value while increasing it’s shelf life).
I would be more worried about McDonald hamburgers, sausage meat/devils ham, and vegetables grown in human raw sewage fertilizer in Mexico.
Meanwhile, Bill Gates has the cure, looking for an illness.

He’s under threat of death in most African countries. Caused polio in half a million children in India. He’s under indictment in the European Union. Japan just announced there also indicting him as a purveyor of genocide in producing a product that causes mass death. Even his flying syringe (mosquitoes) are causing the death rate to soar everywhere they are released. Ivermectin is more popular than ever. it’s even curing cancer.
Oh, not related;
Walmart is dropping all DEI… The private public partnership established during Covid, letting only some large corporations provide commerce, has backfired as the public will no longer tolerate what they are force-feeding us. (Crickets and mill worms? Yuck!) The election of Trump has them all scared as he announces he’s removing all transgenders from the military.
(“Don’t ask, don’t tell” doesn’t work… when your commanding DEI officer is wearing lipstick)
Not to be outdone, Putin outlaws hormone blockers used on children… Will not allow any adoptions in countries who allow this barbaric practice.

Jay at NIH might well be the best appointment yet by Trump. A sweet vindication for all the crap he went through in 2020-2022.
Well, as regards trade, it has turned multiple times!
What is a “conservative” in America, in this context? Well, in the South, which relied mostly on cash crops to sustain its economy, the conservative plantocracy favored low tariffs, because this reduced the risk of retaliatory tariffs by major buyers like Great Britain. In the North, the conservative impulse preferred higher tariffs, because they were increasingly building the Northern economy on manufactured goods. When the North won the Civil War, not surprisingly, high tariffs came in for good (and became Republican Party orthodoxy in particular), and more or less stayed in place until the end of WW2, when the U.S. basically took over most of the world economic systems via GATT and Bretton Woods, and could dictate the new terms of economic intercourse to an industrialized world that was basically large piles of bankrupt rubble.
In Britain, the picture was more complicated, with trade policy cutting across party lines. Manchester liberals (a key antecedent to modern libertarians) favored lowered tariffs, and their signature moment was the 1860 Cobden-Chevalier Treaty, which deeply cut key tariffs with France. Set against this was an imperial preference contingent which espoused high tariff barriers with most countries outside the Empire. These battles first helped break apart the Liberals, and then the Tories.
Republicans today seem to be reverting (to a degree) to what one might call the old paleoconservative pre-war outlook, but for a somewhat different set of motivations. The GOP of 1865-1945 was dominated by business interests, and viewed protectionist policy as important to sustain their emerging industries against foreign competition. Today’s GOP is increasingly built on working class voters, and these voters increasingly favor protectionist policies as a response to the massive deindustrialization they have witnessed over the past five decades, based more particularly on the perception that the People’s Republic of China has especially gamed the system to enable a lot of that off-shoring. Ross Perot was the first clear sign of this emerging reaction; today, almost all Perot voters (and their sons and grandsons) are Trump voters.
I think Trump himself is more complicated on this question than he initially appears. He likes to say that “tariff” is the most beautiful word in the English language, but he sometimes employs tariffs as a transactional threat to forces changes in behavior of an adversary regime. We’re seeing that just this week with Canada and Mexico.
Max, You do mean RFK jr, not JFK
I’m a libertarian-conservative-republican; generally, in that order.
Always supported “free trade,” in the abstract, but our trading-partners don’t engage in free-trade. They manipulate their currencies, subsidize domestic-production, and some utilize slave-labor. Most of them also live under our defense umbrella and spend little on their own military.
And these “multi-national corporations” aren’t genuinely “American,” nor are they really “capitalist,” while many were started here, they are globalist in nature and utilize government power to control markets & labor.

I think the medical community is in cahoots with Greens in telling us how to live.
Don C., you are right. It appears I made the mistake twice. I didn’t even catch it when I spelled out his name next to his website. JFK was assassinated… RFK jr. is his nephew.
I do not agree with some his politics, the extreme woke agenda… but you can’t disagree with results like environmentally cleaning up rivers of toxins and mercury… which is how he got his start with vaccinations, when a mother camped out on his doorstep and wouldn’t leave until he reviewed how much mercury (Thimerosal) in the flu shots and the childhood vaccinations. Many times the legal limit that’s placed on mercury in fish. And that’s in “every shot” delivered directly to the bloodstream, a known neurotoxin.
To quote a scientific article, I looked up the details;
“not all manufacturers used the preservative, but the CBER scientists calculated that a minority of infants could receive as much as 187.5 mg of ethylmercury during the first 6 months of life. Lacking any standard for ethylmercury, the CBER team compared this exposure to standards for methylmercury and discovered that it exceeded that set by the Environmental Protection Agency.”
Babies do not develop immune system enough to make antibodies untell between the ages of one and two.
The manufacturers of thimerosal insist it is safe… As long as you “never ever go into the sunlight” it causes a photo chemical reaction delivering a massive amount of metallic mercury at one time resulting in a sudden illness that night.
So what is the amount considered toxic? (Keep in mind it’s a “heavy metal” that doesn’t metabolize but is chelated from the body)
“advisory recommendations on methylmercury that emerged in the 1990s. Agencies differed with respect to directing recommendations at adults or pregnant women, balancing the conflicting data for the Seychelles and Faroes, and determining how much of an uncertainty factor to take into account the extent to which individuals may metabolize mercury differently. As of 1999, the FDA continued to set its acceptable daily intake at 0.4 μg per kg of body weight per day, the standard proposed for adults in the 1970s. It noted that this figure should probably be set lower for pregnant women. By contrast, the Environmental Protection Agency in 1994 lowered its reference dose for methylmercury exposure to 0.1 μg per kg of body weight per day on the basis of the Iraqi data on women and children. To make the situation still more confusing, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry lowered its minimal risk level to 0.1 μg per kg of body weight per day in 1994, only to raise it back to 0.3 μg per kg of body weight per day in 1999, prioritizing the Seychelles over the Faroes studies.“
See why Kennedy is getting involved? Health risks are being determined by politics, not science. Even though for a short time they removed thimerosal from the vaccines… It is used extensively as the best preservative for most vaccines today. There are a whole new list of vaccines doubling mandatory vaccine requirements raising the autism rate from one out of 200 when I was a kid to one child out of 25 now. It is the largest healthcare costs to face in this nation as it is a lifetime commitment.
Personally I believe “the methods” are at fault. To get immune system to recognize disease for immunity you must put the disease in the body. Won’t work unless the contagion vector is intact, but must be deactivated not infectious. they do this with electrolysis coating metallic ions over the contagion giving it a suit of armor. Even so, the disease still finds its way to the receptor sites causing children to have fevers. When the body can’t break it down, (it has a suit of armor) it tries to encapsulate it or reject the organ that accepts the disease and foreign materials. Encephalitis occurs with high fevers resulting in permanent brain damage from the child’s immune system attacking the brain as a foreign substance. Nowadays they can prevent this by using immune suppressors given to organ transplant patients to those with bad reactions to shots. Far better to avoid the poison injection.
RFK will quote studies how communities like the Amish that don’t get vaccinations will have six children in 100 with a health issue, virtually no autism. As compared to the rest of the country whose children average 66 out of 100 with health issues. Some states with the highest vaccination rates also boast the most autism and health problems.
Sum will say that correlation is not causation… It’s also too much to be just a coincidence.
In our 20s, we were told that our children could not go to school without their vaccinations.
My Second child, with 104° temperature nightly, was given a 50-50 chance of permanent brain damage. (I remember well those panicked moments in the emergency room) My oldest child was rejecting her natural kidneys having blood in her urine for 20 years before she didn’t have to take the anti-rejection drugs anymore.
I tell you this so you understand my passion for the subject matter.
I’m hearing that many of Trump’s choices for leadership roles are receiving death threats. Apparently, this is what the Democrats consider a peaceful transfer of power. After Biden had spoken so proudly of his peaceful transfer, it turns out that it is not so peaceful after all.
It is also amazing how difficult these computer counters have become. It took California three weeks to count votes, and other states took almost as long. California, for one, allows ballot harvesters a week to turn in the ballots that they have harvested, so what took the other two weeks? Apparently it took that long for the Democrats to create the necessary ballots to turn Republican House seats into Democrat seats, because those were the results that took so long in California. I miss the good old days, when all it took was “finding” a ballot box in someone’s trunk in order to get Minnesota’s Al Franken into the Senate. Now, that was a peaceful transfer of power.
Max–
Look up “immunologic adjuvant,” as it relates to vaccines.
The short-cut is to use toxics like mercury to cause a dramatic response from the body’s immune system.
Wayne;
Here’s a list of current adjuvant’s, and the Vaccines they are used in. This rabbit hole is not current even though they list “spike proteins” and antifreeze like MiraLAX used in the MNRA shots, others that are currently being trialed like snake venom is left off the list.
“As shown by the table, the vast majority of vaccines currently licensed by EMA and FDA for human use include aluminum salts as an adjuvant. This is important to highlight, given that these adjuvants are the oldest used in vaccine formulations and the need to increase the number of new adjuvants appears absolutely necessary in order to improve vaccine safety and efficacy.”
“Therefore, aluminium salts are the adjuvants that have been used for the longest period of time and the most frequently included in vaccines, with about one-third of currently licensed vaccines containing aluminium [24]. As a result, aluminium salts are the most tested in terms of safety among the vaccine adjuvants“
“For many years, scientists have been debating the possible role of aluminium neurotoxicity as a cause of neurodegenerative disease“
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9147349/
Since it’s discovery in 1920, it’s considered grandfathered in, so despite the recent studies showing the link with neurological problems, renal failure, and present in many tumors (most notably in breast cancer), and the inability to remove it from the body, has not prevented its use.
You’ll see from the list that it includes experimentation with dead viruses, dead bacteria, toxic metals, nearly anything that will cause an immune response including bacteria from rusty nails, snake venom, gila monster venom, poison plants, anything that will cause an immune response that they can patent.
I would advise anyone who’s thinking about getting a experimental product injected directly into their bloodstream (that they never can get rid of…) Think seriously on the lifetime ramifications that will most likely end up with your death. I have yet to see a vaccine that does what they claim it does, without side effects, that the “cure” has not been worse than the disease. at one time just was not true, but the wrong people are in charge of our health industry and they’ve lied to us consistently without remorse or conscience. You only have to look at how many children are dying of heart attacks to know something is seriously wrong.
Edward;
In many states where it is permissible, they are still counting votes. Somehow they’re fighting hundreds of thousands of Democrat votes to add to the totals and doing many elections that have already been called for the Republicans. Last time I looked, the Republicans have a majority in Congress by one vote. Which may change by Monday.
In Utah, the former head of the Democrat party, who pretends to be a Republican to get elected, has won Mitt Romney‘s seat (whom is the third senator from Massachusetts because he never lived in Utah) The former congressman hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and he has already joined the rhinos against “everything Trump”!
This Chris Stewart has made millions from insider trading and wants to keep the money train rolling…. for him and all his Democrat friends.
