Poor Steve. That was yesterday. Today he says he didn’t know Israel was bombing bridges. Sad: we know that working for Russia Today rots both brain cells and moral sense, but if no idea it was so quick.

A few days ago a judge decided he knows more about children's health than Robert Kennedy Jr. and every member of the ACIP committee... And everyone at HHS, the CDC, and other.. This is a judge with no medical degree, no pediatric expertise, and a lifetime appointment... and with one ruling, he erased the most meaningful attempt to protect American children this government has ever made. Reuters called it "upending Kennedy's overhaul of childhood vaccine policies." Here's what actually happened. RFK Jr. looked at peer nations (like Denmark and Germany) with healthy kids and functioning societies, and said let's see if there's a smarter schedule. What he found was that we give 54 shots of 72 vaccine doses. Denmark gives roughly half that. And Denmark has not seen measles come back, or polio come back, or smallpox come back. None of the fear porn the American Academy of Pediatrics has been selling you has actually happened. Meanwhile we went from 12% of American children with chronic disease in the 1980s to nearly 50% today. In 48 years, we have seen the greatest collapse of children's health in the history of this country, happening in perfect parallel with a vaccine schedule that grew from 12 vaccines to 54 shots. You cannot look at the health of American children and call that program a success. You simply cannot. So what did the judge do? He said RFK Jr. didn't run it by ACIP, the advisory committee that by everyone's understanding has always been advisory only. No binding authority, just an opinion, not a mandate. At least that's what they always told us when the committee was captured... And then when Kennedy moved to satisfy that requirement, the judge said he didn't recognize the current ACIP either. There is no committee he recognizes. According to him there are no changes allowed in either direction, no new vaccines can be added, there can be no modifications for any reason, including a bioweapon attack. One judge has put the entire country in limbo to protect a rubber-stamp committee that has never once had a genuine skeptic in the room. A committee where members like Paul Offit voted to add rotavirus vaccines to the childhood schedule while personally developing a rotavirus vaccine and didn't recuse himself. That's the balance they're defending. The American Academy of Pediatrics, a trade organization funded by the pharmaceutical industry, went to court to make sure your doctor has no say in your child's vaccine schedule. They don't want pediatricians in the conversation. They want the government to decide. This is what happens when you try to clean the swamp. The swamp has judges. This case is not over. It's an injunction, not a final ruling. The Trump administration will appeal. And we will keep fighting. Because the children of this country deserve better than what 40 years of this program has given them.

To be clear: Kossoff passed away at age 25 and whoever has control of his wiki writes: "Kossoff used drugs from age 15. Simon Kirke has said "he clearly had a predisposition". He used Mandrax among other drugs. Paul Rodgers has said Kossoff was healthy and playing well in 1973 although this is disputed, but that he wonders about the company that Kossoff kept, and felt that "Koss was just too sensitive for this world."[15][16]" "Kossoff's drug use made him unreliable in the latter stages of Free.[6] Andy Fraser noted "he felt intimidated by those other guitarists, and when people began speaking of him in terms of Clapton and so on, it frightened him. Drugs were a defence, his excuse" On 19 March 1976 he died from a pulmonary embolism after a blood clot in his leg moved to his lung, while touring America with Back Street Crawler.

March 19th 1976 - Remembering Former Free guitarist, 26 year old Paul Kossoff, died of heart failure while on a flight across the US. He had been troubled with heart disease most of his life. At age nine, Kossoff started classical guitar lessons with Blanche Monroe. His classical guitar training continued until he was fifteen. In December 1965, he saw Eric Clapton with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at The Refectory, Golders Green, North West London. This encounter inspired him to purchase a Gibson Les Paul guitar. During 1966, Kossoff worked as a junior salesman at Selmer's Music Shop in Charing Cross Road. He received lessons from session guitarist Colin Falconer, who worked in the guitar department at Selmer's.

I was born in the UK in the 1950s and I can say with total confidence that over my lifetime my country has never been in as dark a place as it is today. Its society, economy, culture, credibility, spirit, sensibility and freedoms have been totally wrecked by agenda-driven idiots.
