Why The Government Has Never Had An Interest In Your Health
Most of the recent news suggests that fringe health cults, like the anti-vaccine crowd and certain dieters, were right about Big Government.
One thing that has become abundantly clear to me over the past year
is that, now more than ever, an increasing volume of unqualified people are making decisions about the health of Americans that aren’t making us healthier.
I don’t write this to scare you, but to open your eyes to the blatant lies that are being told about how we should live our lives physically, nutritionally and even spiritually.
Foods and Additives
Let’s take RFK Jr., for example, who I feel ashamed to I’ve modestly defended in the past, promoting National Ice Cream Day and ranting about food dyes whilst our country is among the most obese in the world from indulging in things like, well, ice cream.
The grift of his campaign is not only that he is majoring in the minors of health, but that he routinely ignores the most eminent danger to our country, as Layne Norton explains here:
Is high fructose corn syrup still bad? Sure.
But America eats way too much. Put plainly, and politically incorrect, we’re too fucking fat.
But our government has no interest in taming the beast that is overindulgence. The current Commander-in-chief accepted a Qatari jet whilst eating McDonalds abroad.
Do you think anyone who supports him knows what it means to abstain from anything?
Medications and Pharmaceuticals
Long as that laundry list of problems about satiety could go, this corruption and manipulation of the health zeitgeist extends far beyond the executive branch.
Officials at the CDC — Fauci and Co. — and the FDA are culpable as well.
For the longest time, I was a proponent of the COVID vaccines. I had no reason to be, given what we know about the virus, the vaccines and how the two can lead to adverse cardiac events.
I’m someone with a family history of hypertension, but I got a second and third booster shot from Pfizer.
I had reservations because of the heart issues caused by Johnson and Johnson’s rushed-out vaccine, but got it anyway.
Still now, with the threat of COVID all but neutralized, FDA officials have been hard at work manufacturing a new vaccine from Novavax for children 12 and younger.
From The New York Times:
“Even rare vaccination-related harms, both known and unknown, now have a higher chance of outweighing potential benefits in non-high-risk populations,” he wrote in the documents overriding the staff members on the Novavax shot.
…
About 30 staff scientists at the F.D.A. signed off on giving approval to the Novavax vaccine for anyone 12 or older on March 28, according to the newly released documents. Records show that they reviewed several studies, including a clinical trial of the vaccine involving 30,000 people, and a safety database with 45,000 adults and adolescents who got the vaccine.
In the large study, there were three cases of myocarditis within two weeks of the second dose, compared with one case in the placebo group.
The review also identified more cases of atrial fibrillation in the vaccinated group than in the placebo group, which the reviewers asked Novavax to study further.
I’m not against all vaccines. When we had no idea what COVID was, who it could kill faster, and how it spread, vaccines made sense.
And while it’s a polarizing topic, it seems to me in retrospect that many of the stigmatized “anti-vaxxers” may have had a point: If you are young, healthy, and have little to no risk factors for health, vaccines kinda don’t make sense.
So when I see that another large corporate giant is rushing to push out another therapy — possibly manipulating the research to favor their results for the FDA, which is all too common — I approach that with some pause.
Sure, it might sound like I have an anti-COVID-vaccine agenda, but when we already understand the risk of a new vaccine being trialed on young, not-at-risk people…why are we risking their lives again? That seems like the worse agenda to follow.
Cult-Like Communities
If there’s one thing that matters a LOT, it’s being a part of a community. I’ve advocated for this many times on my newsletter, and frankly, I mostly don’t care where you find it.
It could be CrossFit, Hyrox, a Book Club, Orange Theory, your yoga class… just don’t let that become your entire identity, either.
One thing that the two-party system of government has done to divide our country is just that — have two parties completely divided on every issue, begging Americans to pick a side and engage in the culture war that is the debate on everything from personal liberties to gender and race.
For what it’s worth, the Epstein files might be the only thing that actually unites the party for the first time in decades, though with the house starting their summer break early to avoid the conversation, I doubt anything serious happens in that arena.
I’ll spare you my thoughts on that entire situation, but the circus of it still rings true for our government’s agenda:
Get people arguing and make them pick a side, and hope that side is ours by the time the next primary rolls around.
This is no way to live your life.
Humans were not designed for cult-like communities where they would rather die than admit they are wrong.
We weren’t designed to be stressed over whether or not our potential partner has an interest in a particular candidate, and possibly miss out on meeting our soulmate because we disagree with them about whether or not a person can get a sex change.
But our constituents certainly couldn’t give two shits about that. Find them lobby that supports a hot button issue, and they’ll be sure to get you talking about it.
The Solution
Short of “leave America,” there’s a few things you can do to make sure that you don’t get caught up in the Fuckery that is the United States government.
Consume independent media like this newsletter.
Form an opinion off of the things you read, watch and hear that is unique, takes strands of what others believe but has your own spin to it, and be willing and open to debate them with your colleagues.
Exercise daily, do your best to find whole foods, stay away from corporate giants, and find a doctor who allows you to do any blood test you want at a whim, without questioning why you’re asking for those labs.
And think twice before hopping on a medication. Seriously.
Unless your life is critically at risk, ask questions about what you’re being prescribed, you’re being prescribed it, how long you’ll be on a medication for, and what are its side effects.
Interested in going all the way with your labs and (maybe) being your doctor’s worst enemy? (kidding)
