A new commercial rail route connecting China to Iran has officially launched with the arrival of the first cargo train from the eastern Chinese city of Xian at the Aprin dry port near Tehran. Aprin's CEO highlighted the port's strategic role in lowering transport costs and reducing reliance on coastal freight hubs. Railway infrastructure connecting Iran and China allows freight trains to travel from Shanghai to Tehran in 15 days, compared to 30 days via the maritime route. On 12 May, railway officials from Iran, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Turkiye met in Tehran to advance a transcontinental rail network linking Asia to Europe, Tasnim News Agency reported on 25 May. source

What to believe? Who to believe? Summary The harms are obvious. The medical community is silent about all of these papers. They want to keep on believing the vaccines are safe. At what point does this stop? When are health authorities going to speak out?

As I understand it, Kennedy is only trying to make amecia healthy again with the tagline MAHA. So don’t be too harsh on him. RFK Jr. is perhaps the most impactful HHS Secretary we’ve ever seen—but if you read the mainstream news, you’d think his first 100 days were a disaster. While chronic disease drains trillions from Americans every year, the press can’t stop obsessing over measles. Just look at these headlines: “As measles cases rise, some parents become vaccine enthusiasts.” “US measles cases near 900, outbreaks reported in 10 states.” “Measles may be making a comeback in the U.S., Stanford Medicine experts warn.” . He argued that people who have concerns about the MMR vaccine—whether it’s due to aborted fetal debris or DNA particles—deserve access to treatment options. “And that’s what we’re developing at CDC right now,” Kennedy said, “protocols for treating measles.” Kennedy then delivered a devastating jab at the dominant measles narrative, putting everything into perspective and leaving the panel silent. “I want to say this,” Kennedy began. “We’ve had four measles deaths in this country in 20 years. We have 100,000 autism cases a year. We have 38% of our kids now are diabetic or pre-diabetic. That should be in the headlines,” he said. *Applause erupted* source

yeah...medical error, the third leading cause of death in US according to this. Now that Dr Makary is the head of FDA, maybe he can put some influence to rectify it.

Hopefully, something good will come out from this testing and researh, for the sake of children. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in a Cabinet meeting on Thursday that the government has launched a “massive testing and research effort” to determine what causes autism. He said the effort involves hundreds of scientists globally and will be completed by September. Once the environmental causes of autism are identified, “We’ll be able to eliminate those exposures,” he said. At the meeting, President Donald Trump responded, “There will be no bigger news conference than that.” He added, “If you can come up with that answer where you stop taking something, you stop eating something, or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it.” Reporting on the announcement in the mainstream media framed Kennedy as a longtime vaccine critic who has put forward the “discredited” and “debunked” theory that there is a link between vaccines and autism. In a conversation with Fox’s Martha MacCallum, who said studies have shown there is no connection between vaccines and autism, Kennedy responded: “The studies that they did were very very narrow. They did about 17 studies and the Institute of Medicine, which is part of the National Academies of Sciences, said that 14 of those studies are invalid. And the biggest weakness of those studies is that they never studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated, which is the only way that you can really make this determination. “But more importantly, none of the vaccines that are given to children within the first six months of life were ever studied.” Kennedy said the autism study, coordinated through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is not focused exclusively on vaccines. “Everything is on the table — our food system, our water, our air — we will find out what’s triggering this epidemic. We know it is an environmental toxin that is causing this cataclysm. Through research at NIH, we will find an answer to this question.” He also said that “epidemics are not caused by genes” and that although there may be a genetic vulnerability, there also must be an environmental toxin. “We’ll soon identify the root causes of the autism epidemic.” source

Newly confirmed Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he has a “generic list” of people he wants removed from his department. “I have a list in my head … we have a generic list of the kind of people that — if you’ve been involved in good science, you have got nothing to worry about,” Kennedy said during an appearance on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night. “If you care about public health, you’ve got nothing to worry about. If you’re in there working for the pharmaceutical industry, then I’d say you should move out and work for the pharmaceutical industry,” he added. Amid reports of staff bracing for potentially broad cuts affecting HHS, which employs roughly 90,000 employees across its health agencies, Kennedy pushed back on the idea of tens of thousands of cuts but signaled he would push for some removals. The new HHS head mentioned those involved in past nutrition guidelines and those he alleged were “involved in the amyloid plaque scandals that derailed Alzheimer’s treatment for 20 years” as examples of the types of individuals he would want to “move.” Kennedy, a longtime vaccine critic, is one of President Trump’s newest Cabinet secretaries after the Senate voted mostly on party lines to confirm him as the nation’s top health official Thursday. When the host asked Kennedy what he would do about abortifacient drugs, he said Trump has not made a decision about the issue yet. “What he’s asked me to do is study the safety and study the safety signals,” Kennedy said. source

For those who have not been paying attention, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his Make American Healthy Again movement have become a force to be reckoned with. One of the main reasons is the army of mothers that has assembled to support him — not only in each state, but in countries around the world. And rightfully so. For decades, mothers (and all parents) in our country felt that they did not have a true champion by their side in government to fight for the physical and mental wellbeing of their children. In newly confirmed Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy, millions of parents in our nation and around the world finally believe they have that champion. As such, they feel extremely protective of him, and have made it clear that they will mobilize at a moment’s notice to defend him, his past positions or his future proclamations. . . RFK Jr.’s “army of moms” has landed, burned their boats and are fighting their way forward on behalf of their children and themselves. They have no intention of losing. source

Good news for US children. Hopefully for children all over the world too. Hours after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gained Senate confirmation as secretary of Health and Human Services, President Donald Trump signed a new executive order establishing the President’s Commission to Make America Healthy Again. Trump made the announcement on Feb. 13 in the Oval Office, where Kennedy was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Kennedy will serve as chair of the task force, which will investigate the “root causes of America’s escalating health crisis,” including childhood chronic diseases, according to a White House fact sheet. Within 100 days, an assessment of the childhood chronic disease crisis will be released, the executive order said. The investigation will target the “over-utilization of medication” and also highlight the impact of food ingredients and chemicals along with “certain other exposures.” The impact of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), antipsychotic drugs, mood stabilizers stimulants, and weight-loss drugs will also be studied. According to the executive order, the commission will look into contributing causes to childhood chronic diseases like “the American diet, absorption of toxic material, medical treatments, lifestyle, environmental factors, government policies, food production techniques, electromagnetic radiation, and corporate influence or cronyism.” Federally funded health research should “avoid conflicts of interest” by transparency and open-source data, a White House fact sheet said. The commission will demonstrate “gold-standard research on why Americans are getting sick in all health-related research funded by the federal government,” the fact sheet said. Upon completion of the research, a strategic report based on the assessment will be released, according to the executive order. source

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) last week was publicly wrestling with his decision on whether to support Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist. Kennedy claims he is not anti-vaccine and is merely seeking more data on their safety. But Democrats — and Cassidy — said Kennedy has always fallen back on the desire to see more data, even when there is overwhelming evidence to refute his claims. Still, Cassidy said he received key pledges from Kennedy and the Trump administration, which led to him casting the deciding vote in the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday. Kennedy advanced on a party-line vote, 14-13. source

One of the items to look for as our ongoing American political realignment continues is trial lawyers abandoning Democrats and joining the MAGA coalition. Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement is part of this, and it’s one reason why the success of his nomination isn’t really all that important in the grand scheme of things. If it isn’t Kennedy, it’ll be someone else, but either way, MAHA is a key campaign promise of Donald Trump’s, and Kennedy’s successor as HHS nominee will be on board with it as well, should one be needed. Given that it’s the federal regulatory state that has created our current reality of bad diet, overmedication, and poor health, deregulation by bureaucrats and a reemphasis on using the courts to balance economic activity and harm would seem to make sense in the promotion of an American revival. So given that apparent shift in direction, which transcends the identity of the HHS nominee, what’s the point of screeching at Kennedy like Warren did? Is this the plaintive wail of the bureaucratic “expert” class through their anointed savior from Harvard by way of the teepee? Or is it Pharma’s paid shill desperately trying to throw obstacles in the way of someone who would break down the current regime of corruption, regulatory capture, graft, and lousy results? You can decide this for yourself. I think you probably already know where your author comes down on this question. source

The recent Senate confirmation hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. presented a striking scene that would confuse a time traveler from 10 years ago. Democratic lawmakers took turns excoriating a man who once embodied their ideals. Sen. Bernie Sanders, seemingly grasping for gotchas, was reduced to questioning Kennedy about baby clothing merchandise. In another era, Democrats might have championed Kennedy's nomination to lead Health and Human Services. His platform reads like a wish list for reformers: cracking down on toxic food additives, confronting corporate regulatory capture, and reducing drug prices. Most of all, Kennedy pledges a renewed look at the causes of cancer and other serious ailments — not simply the management of disease. These are positions Sanders himself previously advocated. The Republican Party has now embraced these reformers. The battle lines on Capitol Hill have also turned upside down. Kennedy appeared surrounded by GOP allies and by his "Make America Healthy Again" movement, a grassroots group led by everyday moms. Meanwhile, a phalanx of industry groups and nonprofits funded by the drug and processed food industry lead the attacks on his nomination. Kennedy's populist instincts once placed him in the good graces of the progressive left. He spearheaded the cleanup of the Hudson River and litigated numerous cases against chemical and oil companies on behalf of disadvantaged communities. Congressional Democrats previously called him in as a star witness to testify on the hazards of mercury in America’s waterways. In 2008, Barack Obama considered him on the shortlist to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Yet the left's prior embrace has turned to vitriol. Media outlets that once lauded Kennedy now paint him as a conspiracy theorist unfit for office. Vanity Fair, which previously profiled Kennedy with a cover story as "one of the most respected environmental advocates in the country,” now writes that he could be “one of the greatest villains in American history.” This reversal is less about Kennedy than most news journalists and Democratic insiders would like to admit. It's more of a reflection of a groupthink psychology and the party’s drift away from its corporate accountability ethos. The most intense hatred is often reserved not for outsiders but for apostates. Having challenged Joe Biden in the Democratic primary before endorsing Donald Trump, Kennedy embodies the turncoat that institutional forces find most threatening. source

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has called Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) out to his face for “accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.” During a heated line of questioning at his Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, Kennedy accused Sanders and other senators of a conflict of interest regarding pharmaceutical companies. Kennedy made the remarks while testifying before the Senate Committee on Health. During the hearing, RFK Jr. called out senators on the panel for criticizing him while at the same time taking donations from pharmaceutical companies. Sanders, among them, has spent much of his career advocating to improve the healthcare industry. “Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry and protecting their interests,” Kennedy told Sanders. “All the people here who are defending this current system and defending these pharmaceutical industry profits, many of whom are taking huge amounts of money from the pharmaceutical industry, millions of dollars. … “This is not making our country healthier. “We need good science, and we need good leadership that’s able to stand up to these big industries and not bend over for them.” Kennedy and some senators, including Sanders, do see eye to eye on some healthcare reforms. However, many of them took the opportunity to instead berate the nominee and label him as a “dangerous” anti-vax activist. “By the way, Bernie, the problem of corruption is not just at the federal agencies,” Kennedy said. “It’s in Congress, too. “Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry and protecting their interests.” “In 2020, you were the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money,” Kennedy told Sanders. “$1.5 million!” “Yeah, out of $200 million,” Sanders replied. source
