original proposal (updated as of 03-10-2025):
Healing America starts here. This policy provides Health Help funding for EVERYONE, equitably, in a uniquely American, permanent, way, requiring no new taxes, ever. It creates a Health Help Trust Fund to serve the fundamental life needs of the American population on into the foreseeable future. The biggest problem with our healthcare system is how we are paying too much for it in the face of massively declining public health, especially among our children. The biggest problem with our social welfare programs (governmental and non) is they are beset with fraud, by both participants and enablers/administrators; and they are effectively bankrupt due to diversionary theft by Congress, at this point in time, in the face of our national debt and deficit. What is being done with the money weâre throwing at health in this country clearly is not working despite ongoing mass marketing efforts attempting to convince everyone it is.
With healthcare now costing roughly a fifth of the GDP, American life-expectancy is going down, chronic illness is epidemic (Case, Anne and Angus Deaton. Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism. Princeton University Press, 2020), and, because of corporate capture (Kennedy, Robert F. The Real Anthony Fauci-Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. Skyhorse Publishing, 2021), the People cannot trust federal agencies which were supposed to monitor and regulate to prevent this human rights catastrophe born of:
-greed
-massive miseducation of the American public via the media marketing machine
-highly improper LEGAL intervention into American MEDICAL matters
With a much-needed, simple change to campaign finance law, and a small change in federal business tax code for advertising expenses, this country can have fully-funded permanently, high-quality health help for everyone paid for by our politics and the excess profits of our most successful businesses, NOT OUR TAXES.
I urge every American to think about this as the new âAmerican Dream.â Health before Wealth. Itâs the only way American wealth can do anyone any good.
This is an equitable plan that treats every individual equally, from conception to grave, as provided for in the ârightâ to Life in our founding documents and, unlike the current system, does not discriminate, often egregiously, based on economic or employment status, age, gender, race, state or territory of residency, locale (i.e. urban/suburban/rural) within that state or territory, zip code, marital status, family lineage, perceived or assumed financial wherewithal, bigotry and/or prejudice=reverse prejudice targeting, level of incarceration, or any other usual and/or peculiarly American biometric or financial qualifier.
This national policy gets fundamental needs money OUT of the hands of lobbyists and spending-addicted Washington, permanently, returning possession of it, as well as responsibility for it, to âthe People,â in perpetuity, so it cannot be stolen from future generations by turning it into war machine, and other reckless, irrational, and irresponsible debt. Simultaneously, all Americans, are gently reminded on a regular basis that health is, first and foremost, an individual, personal and private, priority and responsibility. The overarching program is guarded and protected by the intervening fifty States, providing for a point of âchecks and balancesâ between the federal government and The People, every time, before votes are cast.
Meanwhile, this Peopleâs Mandate stabilizes the overall economy by having the state banking system, only, hold money intended to provide for fundamental needs including medical care, if and when needed, on behalf of The People. These holdings, earning interest as accumulated, are kept temporarily, for no longer than one year in state banks under a National Health Savings Account (NHSA) at the end of which year there is equitable distribution into individual Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) secured under the private control of The People. HSAs will earn significant interest until such funds are used to pay for (or retain) things such as the work of, and materials used by the actual hands-on professionals and support staff who provide health help to people who need to become patients, periodic upgrade of health help infrastructure, part of basic expenses for food, housing, water, electricity and heat during times of unemployment, and the same and help toward additional burdens in the face of disaster circumstances.
Fundamental need resources will never again be depleted by upper level corporate greed, âshareholderâ payout profits, or endless and ever-expanding fraud. The Health Help Trust Fund will never be robbed, such as is done now to nearly all medical and relief money, routinely, by claiming such theft to be simply âbusiness as usual.â We, the People, will prevent this by:
-Having the Justice Department help US make the unnecessary, always health-interfering, so-called health insurance system go away. It is an easy argument âhealthâ is not an insurable commodity, economically, scientifically, medically, or legally. Therefore, it is an equally easy argument purveyors of âhealth insuranceâ are conducting fraud, and have been for a very long time.
-making sure, with Justice Department and Treasury back-up, politicians with no medical education, scientific qualifications, social knowledge or common sense cannot pander for votes by re-directing other peoplesâ health dollars,
-eliminating other corporate leeches on health money via individual control over where it is spent/who receives it, and demanding that truthful education about health (so education devoid of profit motive) is offered to every American from childhood onward by way of a complete revamping of educational priorities for this nation.
State banks with a proven track record of responsible lending and consistent depositor yields, only, will handle that amount of money set aside for health needs (as noted, currently roughly a fifth of GDP) every year, so the federally-chartered banking system cannot squander it in bad loans, including many health-leveraged ones, while VPs directing or making most of those bad (often also based on criminal fraud, and in conspiracy with corrupt bureaucrats and/or elected officials) loans are never disciplined or fired as they steal most of whatever is left for themselves, and then go running to Washington for yet another âbail-out.â
This system is also COMPLETELY NON-PARTISAN, and so, stable, not subject to massive distortion and changes in prioritization every four to eight years (something that should NEVER happen to something so critical as health help) in the face of ridiculous, and often corrupt, political party haggling and destructiveness (what has become our ongoing, never-ending, Second Civil War).
Here are the baseline details of the plan:
The Peopleâs Mandate demands $0.50 of every dollar donated to any political campaign or purpose (including PACs, Direct party donations, local mayoral races, etc. any money directed to buy political influence of any kind), anywhere in the USA be immediately diverted to a National Health Savings account, held under the auspices of state banks, only, where it accumulates interest.
On a designated day in late November of each year (the Wednesday before Thanksgiving would be ideal) this money is re-distributed to the individual health savings accounts of all Americans. The individual accounts can only be debited by a health help provider designated by the individual patient who holds the account to pay medical bills, or preferably, a monthly retainer established between the doctor and hospital, or other provider, patients intend to use when they need medical care. The retainer system stabilizes operating expenses for medical providers while it means patients will never be burdened (sometimes lethally) with after-the-fact, enormous financial obligations due to a health crisis.
The Washington 2.0, giant, so-called âhealth insuranceâ greed corporations, which provide absolutely no medical services whatsoever, and steal in the form of premiums, more than $0.50 of every healthcare dollar to serve themselves and their non-patient shareholders, while interfering with almost everyoneâs ability to get the care, tests and procedures they need, are phased out and go away, permanently. Their assets will be immediately liquidated and disbursed by paying shareholders off at 50% of current value as an endpointâthe stocks become worthless after that, and there will no longer be Wall Street trading in other peopleâs health and lives, ever. The remainder will be distributed to state banks on a per capita basis to become the first distribution to the national health savings account.
Going forward, if employers want to contribute to employee health help, or provide for possible future unemployment situations for their workers, they do it by contributing directly to individual employeesâ health savings accounts. This could be negotiated directly, as part of compensation, when a person is hired. Both are a tax-deductible, for the employer, expense. Employers save enormously by no longer purchasing a corporate health insurance policy (which further enriches those who are not sick or injured) because those no longer exist. Employers who can provide consistent work are relieved from having to pay for the seasonal employment and other inconsistencies offered by different types of businesses, while those running businesses which are inevitably seasonal, etc. are not out-competed for good workers.
Many people want to do the kind of work required by employers with a less-consistent workload but canât afford to because of the consistent, albeit often low, wages offered by steady employment (that they know are further vastly reduced to unlivable by going on unemployment), or that willing worker cannot ignore all the fringe benefits, healthcare, and better severance and retirement packages, currently offered by wealthier employers. If all the âperksâ were under employee control via their HSA, the better flexibility and often greater respect toward employee personal time offered by smaller employers whose businesses sometimes experience down time would be far more attractive for many people. The increased personal control over individual time, circumstances, destiny, and access to health help when needed, would go a very long way toward alleviating much of the chronic sickness problem afflicting this country.
By making contributions by the employer to individual HSAs a business expense, all employers can provide for employeesâ future help directly, without the state intervening as a ânationalizingâ influence on private business, i.e. working people would no longer be treated (such as they are now) like they are the slave property of the state, who, upon losing a job through no fault of their own, are required to go to work for the next overseer (some other business that has a job to fill, period, never mind itâs not the kind of work the employee wants/is qualified to do) who wants them, in order for that slave/employee to receive an ongoing, for a time, subsistence stipend from the âplantation ownerâ government while in between jobs. That âsubsistence stipendâ and all the salaries and infrastructure required to administer it, it should be noted, is yet another hidden tax employers would no longer be burdened with by the overreaching bureaucracy of the nanny state.
Political money is well tracked and not tax-deductible. It is a huge vat of funding never before considered to be partially utilized to secure national health help. It should be. Given the inordinate amount of money spent on American politics, which increases constantly, and the fact healthcare has been at or near the top of the list of voter concerns constantly for more than thirty years, itâs pathetic, and an American embarrassment, and disgrace, it isnât. If political donors have extra money they can afford to give away to buy political influence, they have money they can afford to give toward securing national health help for everyone, forever, first. *The fraud that is the ACA will soon be revealed to the working public.
Imagine, EVERY CANDIDATE IN EVERY ELECTION, AND EVERYONE WHO WORKED FOR THEM OR SUPPORTED THEM, can feel proud on election day, no matter who wins, because they have made a massive effort that benefits ALL of America, already, before anyone takes office.
This process is completely non-partisan since it comes from all monetary political participants equally. No matter what happens in any given election cycle, national health help becomes more secured, especially so every four years during a Presidential cycle. Any politician who leaves office automatically donates anything left in their âwar chestâ to the national health savings account. They canât redirect it to their replacement or back to the party. Term limits would vastly increase the national health savings account reserve and distributions.
There are other finer points* and details**, but this is the basis for a completely tax-free, uniquely American way of funding health help for all, permanently, and keeping decisions about medical care where they belong, between the patient, and his or her preferred provider(s).
*The biggest point probably being, as the Trust Fund builds, there should eventually be rules set up to allow for one-time, larger distributions from HSAs to go toward post high school education and/or independent business entrepreneurship embarked upon by the holder of the account.
**a very short, annual accounting return, due by the Wednesday after election day in November, must be submitted by the holder of an HSA to the state bank where it is held (and the IRS if they still exist), in order for the holder of an HSA to receive the current yearâs distribution from the NHSA.
First Amendment.
This is the piece that will clinch the Mandate.
There was some flack, back at the beginning, about whether or not 50% of all the money used to buy political influence in this country would be enough money to fully fund health help. It definitely wonât fully fund profit-driven medical care, because all the money in the world isnât enough to satisfy that greed monster. Weâve been proving that for many years now as Americans shovel more and more dollars, a larger and larger percentage of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) into the medical system, while LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR AMERICANS IS GOING DOWN under this most expensive healthcare system in the world.
Much of profit-driven health/medical care could, should, and would be dismantled under the Peopleâs Mandate. But unless and until that happens (this is capitalist America, after all), and since we know how power-hungry too many political people are, how much they lie and cheat and steal, and We the People are forever at risk because they also make their own rules (and break them with no accountability, e.g. âdark moneyâ) there will be one more addition to the Peopleâs Mandate.
Advertising is a flexible expenditure for businesses. Itâs not a necessity. A business can continue operating without spending a nickel on advertising. Successful businesses, though, tend to spend quite a bit on it (and they do so, in no small part, to avoid paying federal taxes on their income). So, the First Amendment to the Peopleâs Mandate is as follows:
Henceforward it will be suggested that every business in America, including so-called non-profits (most of which havenât really been non-profit for decades, e.g. corporate hospital systems, pet charities, âcausesâ of all kinds), no exceptions, will, upon the filing of their federal AND state income taxes, send proof to the IRS and state revenue authorities (a receipt from the state bank that received it) a 10% tithe of that amount deducted under Advertising (including all marketing expenses) on the businessâs tax return went to the national health savings account in order for that business to be eligible for any past, current, and future tax cuts offered to them by the federal government. (e.g. if a business buys a $10 ad, they simultaneously put a dollar in the National HSAâheld by the state bank in the businessâs jurisdiction; if they spend a thousand dollars on having a tech firm create a new website for the business, simultaneous tithe of one hundred dollars goes to their customers via the NHSA in thanks for their continuous success as a business by way of America, as in We the People, making them, the business, Greatâgot that? Remember?âthatâs how it works, not the other way around).
In other words, 10% of all the advertising (including marketing expenses) budgets for all the businesses in America, henceforward, off the top, are suggested to go toward securing individual national health (this will be introduced as a tithe, not a taxâlook up the definitions of titheâIn my Websterâs, the first part of 1: a tenth part of something paid as a voluntary contribution or⌠[my emphasis]. A tithe is not necessarily connected to religion of any kindâfor those of you who are going to start screaming First Amendmentâand it is not necessarily a tax, either. Iâd suggest businesses get in the habit of bragging about how much they tithed to the NHSA last year, in their advertising, using those bragging rights to build good will toward their very successful business, so they are even more successful this year (and will have even more to brag about on their efforts toward helping rebuild, and sustain permanently, Trust, in America, among ALL of US).
As the Health Help Trust Fund builds, it will eventually replace Social Security, reducing the cost of having and keeping employees for businesses because the FICA tax employer match is eliminated. The Health Help Trust Fund is never able to be improperly spent or redistributed by Washington while those monies designated for a âsecureâ old age remain under personal, individual control in cooperative protection under state banks, for life. Employers will have more flexibility in the realm of compensation and bonuses, including, if they wish, being able to make tax-deductible to the business contributions to individual HSAs, that are not calculated as âincomeâ on that employeeâs personal income tax return (just as the FICA âmatchâ is not considered income for employees, for tax purposes, nowâŚ-except, and itâs a HUGE âexcept,â because this is about everything that is wrong with the current Social Security system- all that money put into the new social security system on their behalf is in a bank account with their name on it, and that money can only be accessed by the one-and-only person that name identifies. Equally, employees can request employers to put a portion (Iâd suggest again, 10%) of their wages into their HSAâsimilar to the mandatory FICA deductions taken from their paychecks now, that Washington spends however its political whims dictateâ to add to their own, personal, retirement/disability/disaster âhedge savings.â
Employees will never pay any personal income tax on that money, including when they withdraw it and use it, but they need to keep in mind there are limitations on how much can be withdrawn and why, particularly pre-retirement. Employees should/must also consider, if there is any leftover when they die, it goes back to the NHSA to go on helping ALL Americans as their personal âtitheâ to US, i.e. HSA funds cannot be will-bequeathed to specific family members or other persons or entities, ever. This is not a personal savings account in the traditional sense. This is a United America savings account.
Just like the 50% of all political budgets, this 10% of advertising budget/expenses money tithed by businesses to the NHSA because the business has been made âGreatâ by the USA and its People, will be held in trust in the state bank of the businessâs particular jurisdiction, to be distributed to individual health savings accounts (HSAs) of all Americans on that designated day in late November of each year.
This is totally do-able. All it takes is the will of the People to do it.

01-21-25 the day after Inauguration Day
Dear Mr. Kennedy, and if you will, it would be wonderful if President Trump could join US for this one,
Hello sirs, on this first full day of the new Trump Administration. I look forward to Mr. Kennedyâs confirmation to be our next Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
I watched some of the celebrations last night expressing so many high hopes for our return to âGreatnessâ as a nation. At the second inaugural ball, I heard President Trump declare, âOur People are our Greatest asset.â I contend to you, Mr. Kennedy, and to you, President Trump, the single most important thing this country can do to âMake America Great Againâ is to implement a permanent federal policy of âHealth before Wealth.â Described below is a Peopleâs Mandate. This proposal has been written, specifically, to help protect our âGreatest asset,â especially our children, in perpetuity.
One of the most corrupted, i.e. habitually wealth before health, factions of American medicine is the cancer industry. This, as the priority of an entire, large branch of specifically American medicine is due in no small part to the efforts at fundraising which go on in the name of cancer in this countryâbecause we are a nation which, unlike just about every other sovereignty on this planet, regardless of political ideology, provides NO integrated and cooperative, equitably available and accessible, nationalized health help to its citizens.
So many lives are lost to cancer. Rich/poor; young/old/everyone in between; urban/rural/suburban; female/male; challenged/gifted/those under most of the Bell curve; and people of every skin shadeâno demographics are exempt. It is a disease that affects everyone, sooner or later, one way or another.
Cancer treatment in America has become enshrined to the point of being nothing short of a belief system about cancer, much of which is inaccurate. Many of the inaccuracies have been perpetuated, expanded and exploited to then justify the lengthy courses of expensive drugs, radical surgeries, and other toxic modalities used to treat cancerâŚwhile the truth about where cancer comes from, how it starts, and what is the best approach to early intervention is ignored. Weâve lost the proper focus on prevention because the people âfightingâ cancer, in âthe war on cancerâ we declared decades ago, are making a whole lot of money doing so by way of our equally mis-focused, profit-driven healthcare system. There is an inherent conflict-of-interest in having those who are making enormous amounts of money from having others engage in war, often being heralded as âheroesâ as they do so, also be the ones in charge of ending war.
As an American-born woman, who has spent her continuously-working, graduate school-educated adult life at or below the peculiarity that is the modern America poverty line, I need to make both of you aware of an underlying resentment in this country on the part of much of the lower ~97% economically that is critical to this discussion. A muttering I hear often, much more frequently from women than from men, is, âThey donât want a cure for cancer.â
And while begging both your pardon, I feel it is essential to add, the number one cancer theyâeven in 2025, most of the âtheyâ still being men*â***donât ever want to âcure,â is breast cancer. Weâre using a decades old, medical early detection model that, besides being quite costly but only somewhat effective, might also be driving the development of breast tumors in a significant number of women who undergo the usual second step of that detection system. This is unacceptable given that breast cancer is the number one most common cancer of all, and it affects women at least a hundred times more frequently, and more often at a younger age (before 50) than men. I request that both of you keep this in mind, always, throughout the entirety of the rest of my discussion of concerns we have, as a country, about human health, and the best things we can do as a UNITED America to provide health help to those who need it.
You will recall Mr. Kennedy I have significant experience with criminal investigations, in particular with fraud cases, in addition to being a veterinary medical doctor and a life-long student of biological science. I can tell you with no uncertainty, sir, this mystique, this âreligionâ if you will, that has been built up around an increasing segment of what is claimed to be âlife-savingâ medical care aimed at âcuring cancerâ is largely unfounded and grossly misguided medically, financially, scientifically, and morally.
This starts with how, too many 21st century doctors are being taught to identify potential cancer patients, and the economic incentives they have to conclude a cancer diagnosis quickly, and initiate treatment. And, unfortunately, it ends with a carefully cultivated set of beliefs, too often established by lawyers and other people with very limited (and/or distorted) medical knowledge âpresent company excepted, Mr. Kennedy. There is a lot of passion, and there are strong opinions coming out of this questionable bank of knowledge. We combine them with a very American mindset on the part of almost everyone that more, and stronger, is always better; that doing something, immediately, is always better than remaining mindful and watchful while waiting, patiently; that engaging disease in an attempt to be rid of it always needs to be a âfightâ; and that when treatment fails, and someone dies, someone involved in the treatment probably didnât do it soon enough, or give the âright,â or the âbest,â treatmentâŚwhich, to someone with such a mindset, is almost always the newest, strongest, and most expensive kind of treatment.
In the words of the late, great Johnny Carson, âWrongo buffalo breath,â on nearly every point.
Until next time, sirs, I bid you Peace.
Sincerely, Lise Lund VMD
01-24-25 (delayed in posting until 02-05-25 because of the subcommittee confirmation hearings for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services)
Dear Mr. Kennedy, (and President Trump, I hope? -as I am certain the Peopleâs Mandate will become both your greatest legacy),
This is probably a good point to pause in my discussion of the concerns I have about excess and inappropriate prescription of anti-cancer medications, other treatments, questionable diagnostics, and multiple levels of financial interference with people receiving the best possible medical help. There is a need to state categorically, I am in no way attempting to imply cancer is not a very real, serious, ugly, and often deadly disease, because it absolutely is.
But what has become state-of-the-art and often âroutineâ cancer treatment in this country is also serious, ugly, and often deadly. We must return to a reasonable standard of assessing risk vs. benefit, for the afflicted individual, on an individual basis, when considering any treatment modality. This must be considered when the treatment has the potential to inflict at least as much (or more) present and future harm, and loss of life, or the stripping of any reasonable quality of life, as the diagnosed disease. We also have to approach something so serious as potential cancer with due diligence, and be honest about the quality and reliability of that diagnosis.
The patient is owed being made fully and truthfully aware of all known potential side-effects and after-effects of any treatment as opposed to the likely outcome of their diagnosed disease if left untreated. In the case of alternative treatment(s) being available, the patient should be advised of it/them, and the legitimate risk versus benefit of the alternative(s) must be made known to the patient. *(please see 1 below). Finally, doctors need to be adequately trained in what they do not know, and be able to discuss this in a forthright manner with the patient.
This is the basis of âinformed consentâ not just in America, but internationally. Full and truthful disclosure about individual patient intervention has been a standard of medical practice ever since at least the end of WWII, when the atrocities of abuse and outright torture, claiming to be âscientific studyâ and âmedical treatment,â that had taken place in the Nazi death camps, were revealed to the general public at the trials in Nuremburg.
There is no medical, scientific, financial, or moral justification for doing otherwise, or offering anything less than fully informed consent with regard to intervention on the sovereign territory that is any unique individual human beingâs body.
Two letters ago, I took you through the peculiar circumstances of my referral to a hematologist/oncologist for long-standing symptoms I felt strongly needed to be seen by an orthopedic or neurological specialist. I went on to describe what I can view only as the unconscionable attempt on the part of a Dr. Khan at Geisinger, Danville, PA to scare me into requesting chemotherapy, immediately, for a bone marrow cancer he claimed I had a â1% chanceâ of developing.
I walked out of that appointment in disbelief, a little bit terrified, and a little bit enraged. The terror part of possibly having cancer, most people can understand. I write about the anger part, for the sake of every human being in this country. As a practicing medical doctor, albeit of a different sort, I could not imagine anyone practicing medicine in the 21st century being cavalier about administering the highly toxic, severe and immediate illness-inducing, body and mind destructive class of pharmaceuticals known generally as chemotherapy, without being absolutely sure a patient was legitimately suffering from the disease purported to be targeted by such treatment. Yet, all indications were that was what Dr. Khan intended to do to me, with the further insult he had been attempting to scare me, based on the flimsiest of diagnostic evidence, into requesting such treatment. Part of the fraud game was to get me to tell him what I wanted in an effort to save my own life*.* Such a request, recorded in a medical record, would relieve him (and his malpractice insurance carrier) of all liability for any harm I would suffer, including death, from this nightmarish class of drugs.
I went over and over every detail of the appointment and all that had led up to it. All that had led up to it included, for me, a lifetime of studying the subject of cancer and the many ways medically-minded people (up until recently, nearly all of them men) have tried to fight and defeat it down through the ages. Therein, to me, lies problem number one. One of the things many, if not most people do not understand is, cancer is a normal biological process that has become out-of-control. âFightingâ it, in many ways, does not work because such an effort becomes a battle with oneself, an internal, âcivil warâ if you will. Yet this concept of targeting part of oneself as âthe enemyâ persists because it is the framework that has been adopted for use against diseases in general, especially in this country, since roughly the mid-twentieth century.
The American public needs to be reeducated about cancer, Mr. Kennedy. What weâve been taught by first, television dramatic efforts, and more recently major pushes with television marketing*(please see 2 below) followed by now, Google U., about medicine/medical care has become increa$ingly di$torted. Much, if not most of what is being taught about cancer these days is almost always as much in the interest of the people offering treatment for sale making a buck, and wanting to be âheroesâ who save lives, as it is about the patients being told they need this treatment to have any hope of staying alive. Too much of high drama medicine in this country is about the doctors conducting it, not the patients whom those doctors are meant to be serving.
Patients have been indoctrinated, and are often further bullied and badgered at the point of service, to believe cancer treatment systems and the hospitals offering such services are above reproach and thus never to be second-guessed or questioned. Sadly, this is often just plain wrong on multiple levels.
Lesson number one in the re-education course: Cancer is not a disease you âcatchâ from someone else, like a cold, or the flu, or Covid, or strep, or a dozen other known, infectious, often airborne in transmission, diseases. Cancer almost never comes from a single error in eating something contaminated such as Salmonella in the chicken salad at a picnic, or by drinking water containing the Giardia protozoan, or getting cut accidentally by something sharp that has had contact with the soil where tetanus bacteria reside, or even being bitten by an animal that is, itself, infected with rabies. The vomiting, diarrhea, fever, weakness, sweats, disorientation, chills, cramping, headache, and other traumaâŚor even death, that can come from all of these disease agents, -WHICH IS OFTEN PREVENTABLE, OR POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE, WITH A VACCINE-, and many more like them, largely have nothing to do with this âdiseaseâ called cancer.
Even other, âbattle with oneselfâ symptoms like the itch from touching poison ivy, or the sneezing and tearing and asthma spawned by hay fever and allergies, or the GI tract discomfort of Crohnâs disease or ulcerative colitis donât signal cancer, because cancer, as a normal process turned abnormal, as a different kind of auto-immune problem, is silent, at the start.
Cancer is stealth in its approach because a cancer cell, at first, is indistinguishable from the other cells around it. A cancerous cellâs behavior is the only thing that eventually gives cancer away as being âdifferentâ to someone trying to make a diagnosis.
It doesnât matter which body system has been affected by cancer, if a doctor or pathologist identifies cells growing out of the limits of what is determined to be normal, growing âout of control,â if you will, the tissues containing those cells will be labeled as diseased, and possibly/potentially cancerous. Once I came to understand the science behind this, Iâd thought often about it as being a disservice to use the big, scary, âCâ-word to describe what are effectively dozens of different diseases, with very different prognoses, depending on where, in the body, the abnormal behavior is taking place.
Instead, because of the fear-mongering of profit-driven, instead of patient-focused, medicine, the word, âCancer,â has become singularly synonymous in most peopleâs minds with âa death sentence.â*(please see 3 below
People are being led by the cancer industry to believe that if they have cancer anywhere, they are in need of immediate, aggressive and powerful treatmentâŚagainst themselves. This need simply isnât true in far too many cases, most notably when cancer, or at least a few stealth cells acting abnormally, is identified at that very early stage. Using this fear to manipulate and scare people into requesting treatment, because of the toxicity of most cancer treatments, is fraught with the potential for far more harm to come from treating than might have happened if nothing had been done. Such a situation should, instead, be monitored closely +/- adding a far less toxic, alternative treatment in adjunct. I tend to think of this as approaching the conflict with the Peace Treaty in hand, negating the need to ever have things break to the point of all-out war.
A âwait and see,â with vigilance, approach, however, has become grounds for malpractice lawsuits in this country because of insurance companies who donât want to pay for âdo-nothingâ check-ups and non-FDA-approved treatment, if any. We could do without lawyers who convince juries any doctor who doesnât jump on any hint of the big âCâ with the biggest bombs and the most bullets is incompetent. We should perhaps be looking at legislation or sanctioning to address the effective practice of medicine by persons holding a law license. Those who are well-educated in human-created law +/- the teachings of mass-media marketing, but who lack any discernable degree from a college teaching biological science, or anything related to the art of caring and help-giving whatsoever, have no business being the primary teachers of the public about all things medical. Medicine is both a science and an art; we need to be reminded of, and remember that, Mr. Kennedy.
Itâs a frightening thing to think about, Mr. Kennedy, but my own, well-informed speculation, based on my own experience with our current cancer treatment system (*in a chronically economically-depressed area of the country) has been to wonder how many of the people who have undergone chemo in this country, and become well again, i.e. the cancer treatment success percentageâhave blessedly âgotten their lives backâ in spite of their chemotherapy, not because of it. Again, forgive me if I sound like I am overstating the obvious, but I must point out how this kind of âsuccess,â is not âsaving lives,â but rather only serves to fan the flames on the more, more, more, stronger, sooner, permanently until you finally die from it, cancer treatment holocau$t.
Risk vs. benefit used to be the gold standard for the decision to proceed with medical intervention in America. It derived directly from the ancient wisdom of the Hippocratic oath which admonished doctors to, at the very least, do no harmâŚ
We need to be reminded of, and remember this, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. President. Until next time, I bid you Grace
In Peace and Health,
Lise Lund VMD

02-09-25 (delayed from 01-31-25 because of Mr. Kennedyâs confirmation hearings)
Dear Mr. Kennedy (and, on behalf of All the American People, I hope we have you listening still as well, President Trump),
As I indicated in my earlier letters, it has been over ten years now since I, as a veterinary medical doctor facing significant pressure to do so, declined to allow a human medicine, cancer industry specialist to initiate chemotherapy on me. I remain in what many people would characterize as remarkably good health for a sixty-six-year-old, wannabe but never gonnabe athletic, overweight woman with a rather colorful illness and injury history. Compliments of five major orthopedic surgeries and four artificial joints, I continue to rehabilitate my ability to walk and perform normal activities without any assistance devices and largely pain-free. (*health hint #1 for Life- swim, or do something, regularly, in water (preferably chlorinated, at least some of the time). It is doubtful I would be walking at all were it not for the East Lycoming YMCA and the Little Fishing Creek community pool. God bless and thank you to EVERYONE involved in making and keeping those facilities available to help relieve pain without drugs, regenerate the body, and allow pursuit of fitness, especially when thatâs not possible currently, under gravity.)
I have received medical miracles; but Iâve also suffered mightily, unjustly, and unnecessarily at the hands of modern American medicine and our money-worshipping culture. So, I continue on my path as a whistleblower and re-educator (including in when to say, âNOâ) against the most corrupted parts of our obscenely expensive, profit-driven instead of patient-focused, and failing US because of that, medical system.
I still have the blood anomaly Dr. Khan tried to use to convince me to request chemotherapy in 2014, presumably because I still employ an equine, intranasal veterinary vaccine to booster my non-specific, portal of entry, immune vanguards in my nasal passages. I do this routinely to help prevent my contracting seasonal colds, flu, strep, and now, a man-made coronavirus unleashed on the world as a result of, in my opinion, an ego-filled, overpaid, amoral American bureaucratâs fundingâwith U.S. tax dollarsâof crude bioweapons research. [Kennedy, Robert F. Jr. The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. Skyhorse Publishing, 2021. Kennedy, Robert F. Jr. The Wuhan Cover-Up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. Skyhorse Publishing, 2023]
Iâve felt compelled to bring some of my story to your attention because, despite the scourge cancer is, that is never an excuse for overly/falsely/rush-diagnosing it, or for initiating hard-core cancer treatment as a preventive based on an increased statistical potential for a patient to develop cancer at some time in the future. Such attempts to âcaptureâ the patient for life as an inevitable cancer patient gonnabe is a huge segment of our âchronic sicknessâ problem Mr. Kennedy.
Occasional transformation of single cells to an aberrant growth pattern goes on all the time, in everyone. As such, everyone is a potential cancer patient. The important âbutâ being they will usually not become one because of the protective functions of the many different parts of their individual immune system.
These are things most people who find themselves sitting in a cancer doctorâs waiting room do not know, much less understand, in any detail. And sadly, perhaps dangerously, in my opinion, unethically as well as immorally, physicians like Dr. Khan and others (Iâve now seen a total of four oncologists about my condition) who are trained in the business of selling cancer treatment donât want everyone to know these facts about what cancer is and how it starts. It takes the focus off throwing money at âfinding the cureâ and puts it back where it belongs, on preventing cancer by making intelligent, human-focused and serving, changes in an industrialized, technologically-captured world, and on looking at less toxic, early intervention modalities regardless of their profitability.
Abnormal cell growth happens in many different bodily tissues, more so in ones that have a component that continues to grow/regenerate relatively rapidly throughout life such as gums, skin, various parts of the stomach and intestinal tract, uterus, testicles, bone marrow, hair follicles, etc., but most single-cell transformations never go on to become a tumor because the person or animalâs own immune system has special watchdog-type cells (think special ops, or snipers, or even just astute local patrol policeâknowing the signs of bad guys on their beat planning a crime) that are constantly checking, and recognize this kind of abnormal growth very early, such that the watchdog cells do something to the abnormal cell to make it go away before it becomes a gang which is out-of-control.
Lesson number two in the cancer re-education course is: Any cancer is evidence of a person or animalâs immune system failing to check and eliminate a cell somewhere in the body that has undergone so-called âoncogenic transformation.â This is a big-word way of saying some harm has been done to a cell such that the normal cell mechanisms that tell a cell to stop, or pause, from dividing and producing more cells, from growing, have become damaged and instead have the cell not only growing, but dividing and replicating at an accelerated, very abnormal rate, and forming new tissue in very abnormal, almost always destructive ways.
Disruption of normal cell division and replication is what produces tumors- massive, disorganized overgrowth of a damaged cell or small group of individual cells that started out as normal tissue. The original damage could be caused by many different environmental factors such as:
repeated, and often concentrating exposure to certain chemicals, including some found in food as a result of industrial-type agricultural practices (most notably right now the weed-killer glyphosate and adjunct chemicals used with it contaminating a vast amount of our agricultural soils, concentrating them in plants grown on the soil and in food animals eating those plants), and unnatural, i.e. not found in living things, chemicals used in food processing (this includes a lengthy list of food additives that are banned in many countries outside the USA and have been for many years.)
oncogenic transformation can come from water, due largely to all kinds of industrialization, with everyone from major factories to Harry Homeowner discharging waste products and overspills of fresh chemicals into our waterways and ground water.
airborne pollutants, from intentionally, and unintentionally inhaled smoke as well as the absolutely necessary burning of some fossil fuels in order to generate heat in living spaces for those of us residing in a temperate climate, and to a lesser extent than years ago, thankfully, from components of machine exhaust from all kinds of automobiles and other equipment, and some gaseous industrial waste discharge from all kinds of manufacturing are known to be carcinogens.
excess radiation from the sun, natural substances, or man-made sources (including diagnostic medical imaging, and medical and non-medical radiation therapies) are known to create tumorous growth. As Mr. Kennedyâs Childrenâs Health Defense has been bringing to light for some time now, with the plethora of electronic devices in use today, cell phones, tablets, and computers operating on a 5G network are perhaps moving toward the top of the list of potential chromosome damagers under this category.
and, according to some scientists, viruses that hijack and manipulate their hostâs cell replication machinery (RNA) to their own, the virusâs, endsâto reproduce more virus, sometimes end up damaging the genes (DNA) and machinery (mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA) controlling a given cellâs growth in general, and in the process, can potentially lead to a tumor.
This last one, which is likely one of the least common causes of cancer, deserves some special attention, here, because it is the one most frequently latched onto by scared (as in a large percentage of medical professionals, and women in general, who are this countryâs historical guardians of health) and/or greedy (including marketing executives and upper echelon biopharmaceutical firm directors who have very little legitimate medical knowledge) people because of the potential to create a vaccine that can prevent such a virus from being able to replicate in the body.
There have been attempts from time to time for many decades, most commonly on the part of naĂŻve and relatively inexperienced researchers, or people with even less scientific/medical acumen who have become interested in investigating cancer (often due to losing someone to the disease) to make the case that cancer, will sooner or later, be proven to be caused by a microbial infectious agent (and nothing else) such that a vaccine for prevention +/- a new antimicrobial (especially anti-virals) as treatment will finally put cancer on the list of âconqueredâ diseases.
Best evidence is again, âWrongo, buffalo breath.â âConqueringâ cancer means conquering part of oneâs self. Iâm open to anyone explaining to me how that is going to workâŚ???
As you well know due to your excellent and insightful statistical work on the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, Mr. Kennedy, this last is a highly flawed fantasy designed, again, to use fear of the âCâ word to sell vaccine product. It is not where we should be looking to address trying to lower the incidence of cancer on a mass population scale.
In my own realm of scientific/medical expertise, the evidence on how commonly a virus sets off oncogenic transformation had always been shaky enough to make me doubtful about whether a cat receiving something like feline leukemia vaccine to try to prevent that form of blood cancer, was more at risk from the virus than s/he was from the shot itself. Besides unpredictable reactions to vaccine components just as happens in people, for cats, feline vaccine-induced fibrosarcoma, a tumor which can lead to amputation or euthanasia, caused by the mechanics of giving a cat a vaccine via injection is always a latent concern.
Vaccines are designed to trigger a specific, antibody-forming and producing, immune response in the person or animal who receives it. But the immune system has many different components that âfightâ âthe enemy (or suspect)â differentlyâthink of it like the different branches of our armed forces, or even the sub-units of the police or FBI such as detectives, narcotics teams, counter-terrorism and so forth. Itâs difficult to impossible to stimulate antibody production, only. So, to be sure a vaccine is effective, vaccine manufacturers have to add something called an adjuvant, which is something noxious that the body sees as poison which triggers the whole immune system going into alert mode. Only then does a vaccine trigger the arms production factories to start producing antibodyâthe counter-troops, made specifically to go against the virus or bacteria that is supposed to be the vaccineâs main target.
Vaccines are âtraining exercisesâ for individual immune system armed protection services, but it must be kept in mind the blueprints for the antibody factories are pieces of an illness-causing microbe being injected intentionally into the patient (who is supposed to be illness-free whenever this is done), and vaccines, in order to work, contain an adjuvant, a non-biologic metal (such as mercury), or human-invented compound(s) which are not normal biologic components and so, are viewed by the immune system as foreign and dangerous âŚbecause they are, especially when the immune system fails to successfully remove, or sequester them in non-nervous system fat, and they end up in the patientâs nervous system tissues made of fat, especially the brain.
The immune police, and sometimes national guard or full-blown armed forces make an effort to identify, isolate, and attack the invader(s); kill any live component of it, if necessary; and find a way to remove all the debris left over, including dead combatants, from the individual body. Itâs the same process whether the âinvaderâ is a vaccine or a disease-causing microbeââthink of every individual as their own sovereign nation with an immune system trying to protect the homeland, Mr. President.
The American Cancer Society used to tell US, âOne in seven people will get cancer in their lifetime.â And then, twenty or so years later, to get more people to go for âearly detectionâ diagnostics like mammograms or chest x-rays (when that was in vogue) it was, âOne in three people will get cancer in their lifetime.â And the latest is, âSomeone will be diagnosed with cancer every 15 seconds.â (my emphasis). The truth is, depending on how you define âcancer,â everyone will get/has cancer all the time. Talk about the disease that goes on givingâŚdonationsâŚto the people who run the ACSâŚwho are not sick. Talk about âchronically illâ Mr. Kennedy. Cancer is the gold standard for misrepresentation of science being used in a, literally, âterrori$tâ fashion to make million$ upon million$ for profit-driven medicine.
We need to declare Peace, not âwarâ on cancer. Peace, in a health context, involves working with every individualâs âHomeland Security,â their armed forces and local law-enforcement in the form of their personal, unique, and individual immune system. Doctors and other health professionals have a single mandateâto help that individual immune system monitor for threats, train intelligently for defeating common ones an individual is likely to encounter, and to use every means possible to help the individualâs immune system defeat the enemy when disease has erupted. *Please see the PS below
The practice of poisoning and destroying the individual immune system, believing outside, âmade by people,â ma$$-produced forces can and always will do a better job and are the only way to âcure,â needs to endâŚbecause it is a lie.
Peace, Lise
PS When we get to lesson number three, Iâll talk about how it is the food industryâs responsibility to help the sovereign nation body rebuild its infrastructure after a full-blown immune system âwarâ is over. The body nation cannot rebuild properly when all the incoming new materials are either the wrong ones, or are defective because they contain components that should not be thereâŚand may set the immune system off into another âbattleâŚâ
02-14-2025 (Valentineâs Day and a fitting tribute to yesterdayâs events and what they can and should mean for Loveâs return, in this country)
Dear Mr. Kennedy,
First of all, congratulations on confirmation of your appointment to become Secretary of Health and Human Services. May I suggest one of your first actions in the effort to Make America Healthy Again, could, and should be to ask President Trump to join you in presenting a revitalized launch of the Presidentâs Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition which is now under your sphere.
It would be such a fitting honor to your late, great, uncle, President John F. Kennedy. The âPresidentâs Council on Physical Fitnessâ (as he had renamed it, then- in 1963) was the original MAHA movement, no?
That excellent educational effort came into existence when I was in kindergarten (we should keep that part of the Department of Education alive). Fortunately, the Presidentâs Council on Physical Fitness was continued (at least in my suburban Philadelphia school district) for some time beyond your uncleâs untimely, tragic death. You, and the rest of this nation should know, for this once-upon-a-time, not-very-healthy, young girl, that effort on the part of my then President of my country, has been literally, a life-saver and part of repeatedly Making Me Healthy Again for the past sixty years. I write to you now as a remarkably healthy 66yo lady, e.g. took up triathlon at 45, had a check-up three days ago indicating the same, and so on. Paraphrasing John F. Kennedyâs timeless words, I was challenged to, âAsk not what someone (or $omething) else in this country could do for my health, but what could I do for my health, first, and always.â I have to assume he inspired the same thing for a whole lot of my age-mate brothers and sisters of my generation. That challenge should be re-issued regularly.
Let US do this again, for all our kids, NOW!.. and foreverâŚ
Let US start here, and coinciding with that physical education effort, how about having the Department of Health and Human Services develop a complimentary classroom program that runs K-12 to go with it (under this policy proposal). The lessons should explain what a Health Savings Account (HSA) is to every school-age child and teenâŚbecause we all have an âequalâ âRight to Lifeâ under our most fundamental LawâŚand We, as a UNITED States of America, have finally figured out how to properly and fairly, extend and protect that Right in this 21st century.
The HSA educational program should tell the kids about how, at the moment when it was confirmed they were going to be a new, unique, one-and-only person in this world, their country had set up this bank account for them that they would have to learn how to manage carefully and protect, for the rest of their life, so they will always have the money, even when times are tough, to take care of their basic needs. Sometimes, this might include seeing a doctor or other health help specialist, in order to maintain their good health. So, co-operatives have been created between the People and providers of health help, to make sure the right people, and goods, and facilities are in place when needed by way of everyone using some of their HSA every month to pay (with no middleman or middlewoman getting in between) for those skilled people and special facilities stocked with the needed goods to be there, always.
This course should teach, from a very young age, the Truth about nutrition-including water, and educate kids and teens about their own physiology, and how the two relate, via exercise, rest, and sleep, throughout their life. This curriculum should educate about the difference between a symptom and a disease, and about the problems inherent in defining a disease as something that can be diagnosed by way of a set of symptoms, only. The kids and coming adults should be taught that the idea there is a pill (or surgery) for every problem is a lie, that life isnât about figuring out how to drug (or scalpel change) your way through it, but that the right drug (or surgery), at the right time, for the right reason can preserve your good life for a longer Time.
The young, and old should be taught how addictions of all kinds play into health, and to understand what addiction is, why we are hard wired for it, and to appreciate both the good, and bad, aspects of addiction.
And finally, this K-12 course and HHS continuing education beyond it should educate about emotion, that emotions need to grow and mature just like the body does, and why that part of everyone is a vital part of their own life, and of Life, Itself.
Let US start teaching every American child about the difference between a âwantâ and a âneed,â that you donât âneedâ everything you âwantâ (that wants are often temporary, and learning to wait can be good, while it is also a necessary part of becoming an adult).
We need to educate (or remember) why prioritizing need over want, for everyone, is the way to a better, safer, saner, healthier life, for ALL of US.
Peace,
Lise
02-27-2025
Dear Secretary Kennedy and Senator Mitch McConnell,
The re-education effort needed in this country about all things medical is massive, Secretary Kennedy, Senator McConnell.
It is necessary to pause for a moment in my discussion about the âbeliefâ system (and concurrent fear manipulation and outright fraud) our cancer treatment industry has far too often become, in this country, to address your post-vote comments Senator, after Mr. Kennedy was confirmed to head HHS two weeks ago. Those statements should not be forgotten because they illustrate, graphically and succinctly, the monumental task Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has undertaken to, yes, more than anything else, defend the American public from what amounts to no less than an insurgent, politico-medical-technocratic-media coup dâetat that has captured our central government at this point in U.S. history.
Right after your confirmation was affirmed, Secretary Kennedy, I posted the following on FaceBook:
Sen. McConnell, vaccines are not âcures.â Theyâre preventives. Also, all vax are not the same. RFK gets this even if you donât.
This was, of course, Senator, aimed at your comments as to why you had been the lone Republican to vote ânoâ on the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy to become Secretary to the Department of Health and Human Services. Since you are a childhood survivor of polio, I understand you have a special interest in the polio vaccine, Senator, but I must take exception to your ill-informed general comments about vaccines, science, and medical care, displaying, for starters, a lack of understanding about what a vaccine, any vaccine, is, and does. You do this country a great disservice. Such incorrect information only adds to the general and ongoing miseducation about many other diverse (and evermore frequently, questionable) treatment modalities. Dissemination of grossly inaccurate medical information, from advertising aimed at increasing profits, not at helping people, to the plethora coming from nefarious sources behind much of our endless political haggling, has turned seriously injurious, sometimes to the point of lethal, in millions of cases and instances across this country, gentlemen. It needs to stop.
Toward that end, I must take issue, here, with your specific statements, Senator:
"Iâm a survivor of childhood polio. In my lifetime, Iâve watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world.â Senator Mitch McConnell, public statement 02-13-25.
With all due respect, Senator, you havenât âwatchedâ this, because none of the millions of people we can confidently assume never developed polio, or diphtheria, or measles, or small pox, or a significant number of other potentially devastating and sometimes deadly infectious diseases, for that matter, which are usually preventable by way of vaccination, ever developed symptoms of those diseases. In a court of law, Senator, youâd be accused of failing to offer any proof of your assertions.
The best we can assume about the significant decrease in the incidence of polio after the development and mass distribution of the Salk and Sabin vaccines is that, in part because the personal immune system police and armed forces of many individuals underwent âtraining,â via vaccine, so their immune system was better armed and ready to defeat polio virus when an individual encountered it, there was a marked reduction in the overall total number of cases recorded than in a previous, pre-vaccination, equivalent time period. Some of those âmillions of livesâ you try to cite as proof of the efficacy of vaccines were undoubtedly exposed to the specific pathogens against which their immune system received the added training afforded by a vaccine, but it is still highly unlikely, medically, the training from a vaccine was the only health-conscious effort those people did or didnât make (or had done for them by public health efforts beyond an individualâs reach) that led to the positive outcome of not becoming sick. Maintaining good health is always multifactorial.
âI will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles." Senator Mitch McConnell, public statement 02-13-25.
Again, I offer no disrespect to your being a venerated, life-long serving, U.S. Senator, sir, but you are playing to, and in, the wrong arenas. Nothing is subject to âlitigationâ here. Microbes do not recognize nor yield to man-invented laws, be those âlawsâ legal, or scientific, in nature. Biological/medical science, unlike other realms of discovery we categorize as âscientific,â is not conducted on a standard of repeated experimentation yielding, forever and always, the same result, which is then deemed to be definitive âproofâ of a specific cure. There are no unshakable, unchanging laws in biology/medicine that function the same way as E=MC2, for example, is accepted as a âprovenâ constant in physics. Equally, you, and the âmillions of Americansâ you cite as holding the same beliefs you do about âscientific miraclesâ must begin to reeducate yourselves that this is, âscienceâ weâre talking about, not a religion and its associated dogma.
There is really no such thing as a âproven cureâ that works for a specific disease 100% of the time. As this policy title suggests, Health Help, is the best any doctor or medication is ever going to be able to offer to someone else with regard to that personâs good health or lack thereof.
Medical âmiracles,â or biological scientific achievements, come as a result of understanding the behavior that leads to disease, of both the invading microbe (if any), and of the afflicted person who becomes a patient. To protect and preserve health, the whole person has to make good choices that affect the relationship between the two. Those millions of Americans you mention may correctly credit their survival and quality of life to the scientists who undertook studying behaviors and figured out what could and should be done to change them, such that the patient either avoided, or defeated swiftly, the potentially disease-causing agent, but a person offers such credit only in light of their own behavior and experienceânot as âproofâ of the curative efficacy of a specific pharmaceutical drug. A patient is always an active participant in their own health and their own cure by way of, at the very least, deciding to comply, or not comply with whatever their doctor or other medical professional, including public health officials, advised.
Vaccines, as previously noted, are not âcuresâ nor âmiraclesâ afforded by an overarching god. They are a pharmaceutical tool, as all drugs are. Your statement conflates vaccines with a completely different class of pharmaceuticals, Senator, and adds, at this critical hour of Secretary Kennedyâs appointment, to this countryâs mass confusion about all things medical, and our attendant drug abuse problems coming out of that di$torted me$$.
Drugs such as antibiotics and antivirals can be legitimately classified as âcures,â sometimes, because they work with the individual immune system police/special ops/detectives/full battalion, etc. to help the sovereign nation body eradicate the enemy combatant. These drugs, on the other hand, have nothing to do with training the individual immune system, the way vaccines do, to induce preparedness before an encounter with a hostile intruder.
This aspect of vaccines must be emphasized. That training must be undertaken well before that immune systemâs âofficers/soldiersâ encounter the âsuspect/enemyâ or that training, that vaccine, can be concluded to have nothing to do with an individual successfully avoiding developing a full-blown case of a specific disease, of being âcuredâ despite being exposed to the pathogen, and possibly even developing some early symptoms. The military equivalent would be to try to claim a regiment duly schooled in counter-terrorism in Georgia, which was never deployed, was somehow responsible for crushing a radicalized sectâs uprising in an active war zone in the middle east. Defeating an enemy does not work that way, and you, and everyone else know this.
"Individuals, parents, and families have a right to push for a healthier nation and demand the best possible scientific guidance on preventing and treating illness.â Senator Mitch McConnell, public statement 02-13-25.
This is exactly what Secretary Kennedy has stated repeatedly he wants to accomplish with HHS, Senator. Have you actually listened to him? Or, have you relied on the seriously misleading and poorly interpreted information offered about him by the Democratic Senators, along with politically, and money-motivated, mainstream media?
I have listened to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on medical matters for quite a few years, Senator, from the perspective of a life-long biologist with a specialty focus in immunology, a practicing medical doctor, a researcher, an investigator, a once-upon-a-time quite unhealthy child, an experienced and intelligent woman who has always worked for a living, and a human being and citizen of this country who has lived her entire adult lifetime, a third of it in considerable pain, below the poverty line in no small part because of the fraud, corruption, crime, greed, and leveraged financial rape that has infiltrated our once-upon-a-time excellent, patient-focused medical care, changing it into the profit-driven disaster that, despite still employing millions of dedicated and caring, health help-devoted professionals, has been the central feature of a shortening American lifespan and a diminishing quality of life for Americans for the past quarter century.
Since you are none of those things, Senator, and have had the luxury of having had your healthcare paid for by myself and other American taxpayers your entire life, allow me to tell you what I have observed, and learned about Secretary Kennedy:
-I can tell you Robert F. Kennedyâs understanding of vaccines, especially of various, specific vaccines, and even various formulations of a single, specific vaccine product, as distinct and different âdrugsâ that all deserve the same level of regulatory scrutiny and required safety testing as any other pharmaceutical is quite advanced.
-I can tell you Secretary Kennedyâs occasional comments about improved public sanitation and food handling/nutritional choices, and reducing the incidence of environmental toxins, of all kinds, playing a role in the prevention of contagious diseases are cogent to the entire discussion of public health, Senator McConnell, every bit as much as the vaccine schedules are.
-I can tell you, equally, so are any statements Secretary Kennedy has made about personal responsibility for personal health, including the election to not partake of a specific vaccine/pharmaceutical/OTC or otherwise legal drug (that free choice supposedly being a matter of international law, among other human rights).
-I can tell you his understanding of what he terms to be âcorporate captureâ in our regulatory agencies, and that huge financial/legal/political problem being a central feature of declining American health is accurate, in depth, and fully documented. That he has been censored, persecuted, libeled, slandered, and threatened by the perpetrators of these violations of public trust is beyond question. (Anyone, like myself, who has followed his revelations and openly supported his candidacy for President, and now, his appointment to be Secretary of HHS, often proffering additional whistleblower information via social media platforms along the way, has experienced the same things.)
-And I can tell you Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.âs concern about the health of each child in this nation, and his willingness and commitment to do anything within his power to end many of their chronic sickness and harm, and improve health for them comes with a sincerity rarely, if ever, seen before in Washington, D.C.
I will also tell you, as a Republican Senator, if President Trump becomes belligerent about his demand that Secretary Kennedy remain hands-off with respect to environmental pollution by corporate interests, and those influences on human health, Secretary Kennedy, despite passionate and total commitment, will not be able to do his job.
I will also allow I do have one concerning criticism of Secretary Kennedy in his expressed ideas about how to approach the monumental task heâs undertaken. I, personally and professionally, take some exception to Mr. Kennedyâs (and those of Ms. Shanahan in some of their work together) hopes, and even assertions, that AI will be a central feature of this process of Making America Healthy Again. I will continue to question deriving public health policy for living, breathing, feeling beings, from the kind of âresearchâ computers, even highly sophisticated ones, can do. Computers, programmed and taught to self-educate by mathematically, not biologically-minded and trained men would seem to be likely to look for, and at, E=MC2-type answers (and experimentation leading to same). I must reiterate, these kinds of single-solution âanswers,â and same-seeking experimentation, are rarely relevant to the advancement of medical care. There will always be different âanswersâ for certain subsets of unique individuals.
That being said, I do not discount totally the use of some AI technology to augment understanding of multi-factorial statistical data gathered on large populations about disease and disease prevalence. As with all things biological, ongoing rebalancing while everything is in motion is the end goal, not victory. Life is a continuous dance, not a battle to the end to be won or lost.
Health for everyone will be able to be improved upon by way of truthful education about up-to-date scientific studies and analysis on all biologically/medically intervening substances-used both in the human body and in those parts of the environment which will lead to the same, e.g. the intentionally-applied agri-chemicals becoming endemic in our crop-producing soil, along with pollutants in our air and water unintended to be consumed and absorbed by living beings. The problem with AI in these areas is that AI will assume things such as it is acceptable health policy to have a minimum acceptable level of glyphosate (the herbicide known commercially as Round-up) in our foods. Itâs not, but AI has not been educated truthfully in this regard any more than the average American consumer has, so any conclusions AI makes based on this false background premise will serve the intere$t$ of big Ag and big Chemicals, not the American People, including our chronically ill and getting sicker, children.
AI assistance by way of examining the history of adverse events and unexpected consequences in previous patients/consumers(/victims) would seem to be a no-brainer, except we know those data bases to be also highly incomplete, and thus untruthful.
And finally, about your conclusion, Senator:
âBut a record of trafficking in dangerous conspiracy theories and eroding trust in public health institutions does not entitle Mr. Kennedy to lead these important efforts." Senator Mitch McConnell, public statement 02-13-25
A ârecordâ documented where, Senator? Dangerous, according to whom, Senator? Conspiratorial with whom, Senator? Trafficking how, Senator? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been conducting desperately-needed whistleblowing against those institutions, Senator. Unlike the cat-clawing, gossip-media detractors of Mr. Kennedy filling your head with such things, Senator, Mr. Kennedy has documented thoroughly his information and reasoning in two recent book publications, The Real Anthony Fauci, and The Wuhan Cover-up [Kennedy, Robert F. Jr. The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. Skyhorse Publishing, 2021. Kennedy, Robert F. Jr. The Wuhan Cover-Up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. Skyhorse Publishing, 2023]. You would do well to read both and inform yourself properly about the threats your constituency faces from the most critically corrupted parts of this current federal government of the United States of America.
This is a libelous statement, Senator, unbecoming of your position and office, and totally inappropriately presented to the American public as if these untruths are based on your, personal, insider knowledge about the Secretary, instead of derived from the fear-mongering toward a desired political, and powerful financially end for both parties and the deep state backers.
You should be ashamed of yourself. A ânoâ vote without comment would have been acceptable; this, was not. Itâs sad for this to become ultimately, one of your final full-public moments.
