Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has demonstrated in recent years that we are relatively immune to groupthink, especially the strains that infected health care facilities during the pandemic.
The conservative Christian virologist and HIV researcher was murdered for rejecting the zoonotic origin story overseen by Anthony Fauci and embraced by prominent figures in American medicine. received a threat. However, these did not ensure his silence, and Redfield's theory Since then, the explanation for the virus, its laboratory origins, and the timeline of its outbreak has been widely accepted as the best explanation.
The respected virologist seemed to have found another theory to dispel, and claimed the opposite. claim Since it was written by so-called health experts, President Donald Trump has a good chance of making America healthy again with the help of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“President Trump has promised, if elected, to work with Kennedy to establish a top panel of experts to investigate the causes of decades of chronic health problems and increases in childhood diseases,” Redfield said. . noticed In an editorial on Tuesday. “He specifically mentioned autoimmune diseases, autism, obesity, and infertility. In 2019, when we took steps to address the chronic disease epidemic, we saw diabetes, heart disease, High blood pressure, kidney disease, and more.
More than 40% of school-age children and adolescents have at least one chronic disease.
“I believe in him, and I think President Trump will give him strength,” Redfield said, emphasizing President Kennedy's determination to begin dramatically reducing the burden of chronic disease within two years. I support their noble efforts to heal children.”
Redfield emphasized that America has become a “sick nation.”
- Caused by chronic illness 75% or more Of the nation's $4.5 trillion in annual health care spending.
- More than 40% of school-age children and adolescents at least one Chronic health conditions. and
- childhood obesity skyrocketed From about 4% since the mid-1960s 20% this year.
Dr. Redfield pointed out that highly processed foods are the main cause of childhood obesity, which affects 15 million young people between the ages of 2 and 19.
A large-scale peer-reviewed study published in the British Medical Association's prestigious journal BMJ earlier this year found that “increased exposure to ultra-processed foods is associated with lower all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease-related mortality and They found evidence of a direct association between “increased mortality rates”. outcomes of mental disorders, overweight and obesity, and type 2 diabetes. ”
Exposure to ultra-processed foods was consistently associated with 32 adverse health outcomes, including all-cause mortality. Cancer-related deaths. Cardiovascular disease-related deaths. Heart disease related deaths. Breast cancer; central nervous system tumors. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Colorectal cancer. Pancreatic cancer; prostate cancer. Sleep-related adverse outcomes. Anxiety; a common mental disorder outcome. Depression; asthma; wheezing; Crohn's disease; ulcerative colitis; obesity; hypertension; and type 2 diabetes.
“Private industry uses political influence to control regulatory decision-making.”
Dr. Redfield points out that highly processed foods are part of a larger problem that also includes pesticides, which are “proven risk factors for children's neurodevelopment, leading to diseases such as ADHD. ” he pointed out.
Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology published research A report released by the Environmental Working Group earlier this year found that among the pesticides most Americans have been exposed to is chlormequat, a pesticide that has been shown to be harmful in animal studies. Inhibition of fetal growth, Damage to the reproductive systemdelayed puberty, and decreased fertility.
EWG researchers found that “detectable levels of chlormequat were found in all but two of 25 conventional oat-based products” in food samples purchased in 2022 and 2023. Ta. Quaker oats and Cheerios were also said to be among the grains affected.
Redfield emphasized that a major issue that Kennedy will have to work with a future Trump administration to address is “the growing influence of special interests and corporations on federal agencies.”
“Through more than a century of cozy courtship, federal regulators have all but married those they regulate, especially in the medical field. Today, private industry is using its political influence to influence regulators, law enforcement agencies, and Congress. “We control decision-making,” he said. Virologist.
Redfield said Kennedy was right to accuse the Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health and CDC of agency capture.
All three major health organizations are suffering from institutional capture. Most of the FDA's budget is provided by drug companies. NIH is friendly with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies, and NIH scientists are allowed to collect royalties on drugs that NIH licenses to drug companies. And as a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I know that the center can be influenced by special interests.
While these three agencies are clearly among the worst offenders, Redfield suggested that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is similarly “captive of industry.”
“To cure our children, we must reevaluate our food choices and basic practices in the agricultural sector. We must prioritize healthy and nutritious food. ” Redfield wrote.
This is made even more difficult by deceptive marketing claims. Blaze News recently featured the results of a study by researchers at Australia's George Institute for Global Health, who analyzed 651 foods sold to infants and young children in 10 U.S. supermarket chains.
According to a study published in a peer-reviewed journal, nutrients60% of food did not meet international nutritional standards. More than 99% of baby foods analyzed had misleading marketing claims on the label, in some cases lying that they were free of artificial colors and flavors, and in others containing BPA. There was a lie that it wasn't included. make a profita ubiquitous and potentially dangerous endocrine disruptor, but the FDA still claims it is safe.
Redfield concludes his article by saying, “The exorbitant costs, unnecessary suffering and death of our children's health can be ended with the Kennedy Commission on Chronic Diseases of Childhood. We can end the huge burden of chronic disease that currently demoralizes and bankrupts us.” A nation may disappear. The key is to see the possibilities and lead our country to action. ”
“If he has any role, we're in big trouble.”
President Kennedy revealed on August 23 that an important factor behind his decision to support President Donald Trump was the opportunity to help.make america healthy again“In a future Trump administration.
“Don't you want healthy children?” Kennedy said. “And don't you want to eliminate chemicals from our food? And don't you want regulators to be free from corporate corruption? And that's what President Trump wants? told me.”
Kennedy and Trump's joint promise of a healthy America did not appeal to everyone in the medical community, who make most of their revenue treating chronic diseases.
Robert Murphy, professor of infectious diseases at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said The Hill, “From a health perspective, this is nothing but a mess.''
“He has no background in science and has proven to be a dangerous fanatic who does not believe in science,” Murphy continued. “If he's in any role or leadership position in a lot of things, especially health-related, we're going to be in a lot of trouble.”
“The idea that RFK Jr. would have a say in who gets selected is… [to be part of Trump’s administration] For me and many of my colleagues in public health, this is deeply concerning. ”
“Many of us are old enough to remember what happened before the polio vaccine and the measles vaccine… Millions of children lost their lives because they had no protection from these types of diseases. were adversely affected,” Lipkin added.
To be fair to Redfield, Lipkin may have a shoulder injury.
After all, unlike Redfield, who was probably right about the Wuhan lab leak, Lipkin was a prominent zoonotic origins theorist. In fact, he was the author of “.scientifically unsoundThe “Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” paper used by Fauci multiple opportunity This is to signal to the American public that the new coronavirus is not a lab leak, but rather an animal virus that infected humans.
Lipkin, along with Christian Andersen, Edward Holmes, and Robert Garry, concluded that “we do not believe that any kind of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”
Prominent scientists then demanded that Nature Medicine retract the paper “because of multiple ethical violations.”
