RFK Jr on vaccinations in his own words
Historically, independent candidates running in US Presidential elections barely make a dent on the campaign. The independents aren’t just fighting for votes, they’re fighting for any attention from the media and chattering classes they can muster. As they inevitably flame out, they’ll try desperately to make the world pay attention to the one or two issues that drove them to take on the campaign in the first place.
Seemingly, this is where we are today with RFK Jr. On August 23, Robert Kennedy ponders the end of his campaign. In the final hours before he announces his decision, when his campaign arguably has the most attention, RFK decided to use the spotlight to bring attention to the issue he presumably cares about more than anything else.. the pharmaceutical industry.
Anyone paying attention will have heard over and over again that RFK is an “anti-vaxer”. Anti-Vaxer is a slang used by media and opponents to tarnish anyone who doesn’t endorse vaccines entirely. The amount of opposition, their reasons for it, are not important. A broad spectrum of people who range from those slightly suspicious of one or two vaccines, all the way to those who don’t trust any vaccines in the least (are there really any people like this?).. all painted with the same brush. All pushed into a group they likely have little affiliation with.
With the maximum attention focused on the RFK Jr campaign for a few hours, Kennedy took the opportunity to set the record straight regarding his position on all vaccines.
Why should we care? Well it’s being assumed that RFK will drop out of the race and support Donald Trump for President. If Trump wins, he’ll be indebted to RFK for his support and will very likely offer him a role in his cabinet. That role will very likely put RFK Jr in a position to do something about the pharmaceutical industry.
It’s likely any major changes in the way the industry is regulated in the US will have ripple effects around the world.
What might we expect? That will become clearer from watching Kennedy explain exactly what he things of the vaccine industry.
Today I’m going to set the record straight by explaining my exact posture, point-by-point, on what is probably the most controversial issue of my campaign—a medical safety issue that impacts every one of us. If you take a few minutes to listen, I think you might be surprised to… pic.twitter.com/FJucMmUexF

Leslyn Lewis urges Canadians to fight WHO pandemic treaty before it’s legally binding
From LifeSiteNews
Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis is urging Canadians to demand a parliamentary debate on the WHO Pandemic Agreement, highlighting risks to national sovereignty.
Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Leslyn Lewis called on Canadians to petition against the World Health Organization’s (WHO) pandemic treaty before it becomes legally binding.
In an October 23 post on X, Lewis encouraged Canadians to demand that politicians debate the WHO Pandemic Agreement before it becomes law after warnings that the treaty could undermine national freedom and lead to global surveillance.
“I have raised red flags about its implications on Canada’s health sovereignty and the federal government’s willingness to enter a legally binding treaty of this weight without any input from Parliament,” she declared.
In May, Canada, under Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, adopted the treaty despite warnings that the agreement gives the globalist entity increased power in the event of another “pandemic.”
However, Lewis revealed that since the agreement has yet to be officially signed, Canada is not bound to it and can still make amendments.
“We are now in a critical window of opportunity to ask tough questions and debate the treaty before it is signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and binds our nation,” she explained.
Lewis encouraged Canadians to sign a petition calling for a debate of the agreement as well as contacting their local MPs to request a parliamentary review of the treaty.
Lewis revealed that Canadians’ persistent opposition to the treaty has already resulted in some of the more dangerous clauses, including restricting free speech, freedom of movement, and government surveillance, being removed from the final agreement.
“Thanks to the engagement of countless Canadians and concerned citizens around the world, the most extreme provisions in the WHO Pandemic Treaty were removed — these measures would have undermined national healthcare sovereignty and given international bureaucrats sweeping powers,” Lewis declared.
“The removal of provisions on vaccine mandates, misinformation and disinformation, censorship requirements, travel restrictions, global surveillance, and mandatory health measures happened because people paid attention and spoke up,” she continued.
Among the most criticized parts of the agreement is the affirmation that “the World Health Organization is the directing and coordinating authority on international health work, including on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”
While the agreement claims to uphold “the principle of the sovereignty of States in addressing public health matters,” it also calls for a globally unified response in the event of a pandemic, stating plainly that “(t)he Parties shall promote a One Health approach for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”

Bill Gates walks away from the climate cult
Billionaire Bill Gates — long one of the loudest voices warning of climate catastrophe — now says the world has bigger problems to worry about. In a 17-page memo released Tuesday, the Microsoft co-founder called for a “strategic pivot” away from the obsessive focus on reducing global temperatures, urging leaders instead to prioritize fighting poverty and eradicating disease in the developing world. “Climate change is a serious problem, but it’s not the end of humanity,” Gates wrote.
Gates, 70, argued that global leaders have lost perspective by treating climate change as an existential crisis while millions continue to suffer from preventable diseases like malaria. “If I had to choose between eradicating malaria and preventing a tenth of a degree of warming, I’d let the temperature go up 0.1 degree,” he told reporters ahead of next month’s U.N. climate conference in Brazil. “People don’t understand the suffering that exists today.”
For decades, Gates has positioned himself as a leading advocate for global climate initiatives, investing billions in green energy projects and warning of the dangers of rising emissions. Yet his latest comments mark a striking reversal — and a rare admission that the world’s climate panic may have gone too far. “If you think climate is not important, you won’t agree with the memo,” Gates told journalists. “If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won’t agree with the memo. It’s a pragmatic view from someone trying to maximize the money and innovation that helps poor countries.”
The billionaire’s change in tone is sure to raise eyebrows ahead of the U.N. conference, where climate activists plan to push for new emissions targets and wealth transfers from developed nations. Critics have long accused Gates and other elites of hypocrisy for lecturing the public about fossil fuels while traveling the globe on private jets. Now, Gates himself appears to be distancing from the doomsday rhetoric he once helped spread, effectively admitting that humanity faces more immediate moral imperatives than the weather.
