Biden's DOJ greenlit Big Pharma bailouts. Will Trump do the same?



Throughout former President Joe Biden's administration, the Department of Justice repeatedly bailed out and subsidized pharmaceutical companies like Moderna through various agencies, establishing a sort of "corporate welfare of the worst kind."

But in the dawn of President Donald Trump's new administration, some are hopeful that this objectionable precedent will be uprooted by a new Cabinet and a Congress of change agents.

'I've long opposed Big Pharma's entrenched power and cozy relationships with the government.'

On the Hill, there is certainly an expressed appetite for reform. Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas have been at the forefront of countering the Biden administration's "cronyism" and combatting corruption.

"Joe Biden's Justice Department wanted to put hardworking American families on the hook for Moderna's patent violations," Lee told Blaze News. "For the sake of America's taxpayers and entrepreneurs, the Trump administration should reject his predecessor's cronyism and let Big Pharma pay for its own mistakes."

Like Lee, Cruz shared concerns about the pharmaceutical industry's "cozy relationships" with the government and pointed to various pieces of legislation he has worked on to prevent further corruption.

"I've long opposed Big Pharma's entrenched power and cozy relationships with the government," Cruz told Blaze News. "I was an original co-sponsor of the Right to Try legislation signed by President Trump, and I have long advanced the Results Act, which requires the FDA to grant expedited review if another developed country has approved medicine."

Cruz also expressed optimism about Trump's incoming Cabinet, specifically pointing to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was nominated to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Notably, the Senate advanced Kennedy's nomination on Wednesday, teeing him up for a confirmation vote later this week.

"When RFK comes in as HHS secretary, I look forward to his leadership to combat corruption, expand consumer choice, and increase transparency."

Both Cruz and Lee sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would likely address bipartisan concerns about Big Pharma bailouts in the future.

"I wouldn't be surprised if this issue came up in front of the Judiciary Committee," a senior Republican aide told Blaze News. "There are both Democrats and Republicans in Congress concerned with the implications of this case."

EPIC RANT: Dr. Fauci pardon is A DISGRACE



Former President Joe Biden issued a pre-emptive pardon to Dr. Anthony Fauci before handing the Oval Office over to Trump, leaving millions of Americans wondering why someone who apparently did nothing wrong would need one.

Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein” — who tragically lost his mother during the pandemic due to improper medical care from America’s so-called trustworthy medical system — is one of them.

“For me, what was so frustrating is that Joe Biden gave a pre-emptive pardon to Dr. Fauci,” Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein” says. “In theory, you’re thinking, ‘Oh well, he’s just trying to protect him from the political persecution that could come from Donald Trump.’”

However, why would someone who did nothing wrong need legal protection?


“But if he didn’t do anything illegal, he wouldn’t need that protection. So giving him that pardon justifies every single thing we said during the pandemic,” Stein says. “What’s so frustrating when it comes to Dr. Fauci is that we know that he was lying this whole entire time, and now he’s going to be protected.”

“People like my mom were not even given proper care because what they said is, ‘There are no applications for COVID other than the vaccine.’ Because the only way they can get an emergency use authorization was if there were no other remedies whatsoever,” he explains.

“Which is not true, because we’ve had pneumonia since the beginning of time. We’ve had respiratory illnesses forever, and we’ve been able to give people medicine,” he continues. “But because they were so dead set on this vaccine and helping Moderna and helping Pfizer, they had to make it so that there were no other remedies, when there are other remedies, and because of that, people like my mom died.”

“Yes, I’m happy Donald Trump is president. But Dr. Fauci can go out there and give false information in order to give us a free vaccine, somehow that’s free, every other medical s*** costs a billion dollars, but somehow the vaccine is not only free, but you get a cheeseburger with it,” he adds.

8 Bombshell Findings In Florida’s Grand Jury Report On Big Pharma’s Covid Shots

'Hiding the details, methodology and results of scores of safety investigations from public view does not build public confidence; it undermines it.'

'Kamala was forced on us so hard you'd think she was patented by Pfizer': Comedian Whitney Cummings roasts DNC live on CNN



Stand-up comedian and writer Whitney Cummings unleashed an uncensored fury of roast jokes live on CNN's New Year's Eve show, shocking host Andy Cohen multiple times.

Along with performing at comedy roasts, Cummings is well known for creating two successful sitcoms, "Whitney" and "2 Broke Girls."

Cummings appeared on the CNN live show just after 10 p.m. ET at Times Square and delivered material new to the airwaves of the cable news network.

While discussing her new "Friends" trivia show, Cummings noted that she had recently been playing to larger theaters of about 3,000 audience members, which she noted was "about the viewership of CNN these days."

Cohen then asked where Cummings would be when midnight struck, to which she answered, "After what I'm about to do, I think I'll probably be in a huddle with a bunch of lawyers or something."

At this point, the comedian let loose and started firing shots in every direction.

Cummings said 2024 needed to be held "accountable" because that is "what white women do now" because they don't understand irony.

"We started being wistful about murderers," Cummings continued. "Remember, this was the year where we were like, 'Were the Menendez brothers so bad? Were we too hard on the Menendez brothers?'"

'The pro-choice party didn't give their voters one ...'

Cummings went on, saying 2024 was a year when the number of "white supremacy groups reached record highs. It got so bad, Ariana Grande became white again."

"2024 totally broke our brains. ... We started watching the WNBA. Was that — what happened?" she asked.

The 2024 election "fried our brains," Cummings then told CNN viewers, before delivering her biggest laughs of the night.

"The Democrats couldn't hold a primary because they were too busy holding a body upright," she said about President Joe Biden.

"Are we still rolling?" she asked. "It was amazing that the pro-choice party didn't give their voters one when it came to the presidential candidate. Kamala was forced on us so hard you'd think she was patented by Pfizer or Moderna."

The comedian then checked with her co-host and said he was giving her a "very scary look" because of her jokes.

'I can't believe you guys are still letting me go.'

Other hits included Cummings calling cryptocurrency "astrology for men" and claiming the government "totally knows what the drones are and aren't telling us." She then dedicated her last minute on the air to listing news stories she thought establishment media will never cover:

"Okay. Ready? Go! Trump's shooter didn't have any silverware in his house. No one thought that was weird. Are we still rolling?"

"Crown prince of Saudi Arabia put money into Disney, so just know there won't be any girl characters in the next 'Cars' movie."

"The wife of so many presidents' chefs died. Weird. Boy Scouts of America, they renamed itself Scouting America. You know who else changed their name? Sean Combs. Just saying."

Cummings was shocked by the end of the broadcast that her feed wasn't cut, calling it "amazing" that CNN wasn't censoring her.

"I can't believe you guys are still letting me go. ... No censorship on CNN. Thank you. Love you guys."

Before the segment ended, CNN's Anderson Cooper — who remained stone-faced for the majority of the jokes — revealed that he didn't understand most of Cummings' pop-culture references.

COVID 2.0? New RSV shots are already harming babies



I might not be a doctor, but as early as January 2022 — 16 months before the approval of the first RSV vaccine — I warned that these shots could make children sicker from the virus. For decades, the industry failed to produce an RSV vaccine after an attempt in 1967 was terminated because it caused antibody-dependent disease enhancement.

Now, amid ongoing problems with the first RSV vaccines from Pfizer and GSK, the FDA is acknowledging that Moderna’s mRNA version is causing severe RSV cases in children. It’s time for the incoming Department of Health and Human Services, along with state officials, to pull the plug on both RSV shots and mRNA vaccines of all kinds.

We have simply too much public information to sustain this deception any longer. The time for action on this long-standing failure is January 20, not a day later.

The FDA reported last week at least five cases of severe or very severe RSV in infants who received Moderna’s new mRNA vaccine during a clinical trial. The Biden administration had already approved Pfizer's and GSK’s senior RSV vaccines, Pfizer’s infant vaccine, and a monoclonal antibody treatment for young children — all of which have documented safety concerns. Earlier this year, the administration approved Moderna’s mRNA version (mRESVIA) for seniors.

However, the FDA has now revealed that enrollment of young children in clinical trials is “on hold for all clinical studies of RSV vaccine candidates” under U.S. investigational new drug protocols.

The clinical trial showed shocking results: “Severe illness was 26.3% in the vaccine groups compared with 8.3% in the placebo.” Talk about “the more you inject, the more you infect”! If there are so many problems with infants, why are we giving this shot to anyone — especially seniors, who are not at significant risk for RSV the way they are for flu or COVID?

Moderna used two versions of the vaccine in the clinical trial, and one of them, mRNA-1345 (mRESVIA), induced severe RSV in an infant. This same vaccine is now being administered to seniors.

Given the 60-year concern about enhanced disease, why are we continuing to push any RSV shots? Why are we continuing to approve mRNA vaccines after the documented issues with COVID shots? Why approve Pfizer’s RSV shot for pregnant women when GSK’s nearly identical version was pulled from clinical trials after causing death and injury?

Finally, why are we promoting vaccines for respiratory viruses at all? COVID and flu have shown that respiratory viruses do not respond well to blood-based antibodies and often cause immune imprinting, leading to a higher risk of infection in the long run.

These are straightforward questions any layman can understand, yet our medical experts remain stuck in ignorance — and greed.

Greater risk for babies

Pfizer's and Moderna’s clinical trials for the COVID vaccine in toddlers revealed that leaky respiratory viral vaccines tend to increase, not decrease, the risk of respiratory viruses. In Moderna’s trial of babies ages 6 to 23 months, researchers found a statistically significant increase in respiratory viruses within 28 days of vaccination.

For croup, 1.3% of mRNA-1273 recipients were infected, compared to just 0.3% of placebo recipients. For RSV, the infection rate was 0.8% for mRNA-1273 recipients and 0.5% for the placebo group. For pneumonia, 0.2% of mRNA-1273 recipients were affected, while no cases occurred in the placebo group.

In Moderna’s trial for children ages 2 to 5 years, 0.3% of participants developed pneumonia compared to none of the placebo recipients. For RSV, the rates were 0.4% for vaccinated children and less than 0.1% for the placebo group. In other words, young children in the vaccine group were four times more likely to contract RSV within four weeks of the shot than those in the placebo group.

This trend persisted even among 6- to 11-year-olds, who are less susceptible to RSV. In that group, 0.3% of vaccine recipients experienced the illness compared to zero cases in the placebo group.

Pfizer’s children’s vaccine clinical trial for toddlers (see page 51) also recorded serious adverse events, including RSV bronchiolitis (five participants), pneumonia (two participants), gastroenteritis (two participants), and lower respiratory tract infections (two participants).

Clearly, respiratory viral vaccines make individuals more vulnerable to RSV. Many people now avoid these vaccines, but the industry has adopted a clever marketing tactic: offering a monoclonal antibody as a prophylactic measure against RSV, alongside the GSK, Pfizer, and Moderna shots. Originally developed by AstraZeneca and now distributed by Sanofi, Beyfortus (nirsevimab) has been administered to newborns since last October. New mothers are convinced their babies could suddenly die from RSV, which may have originated in the 1950s through polio vaccine research. According to the CDC, 40.5% of babies in America received Beyfortus during the last RSV season.

The FDA’s briefing document on Moderna’s clinical trial reported that the Moderna shot not only worsened the disease but also “blunted” Beyfortus’ efficacy in babies who received both. But what the report fails to disclose is that Beyfortus is as problematic as Moderna’s mRESVIA.

After hundreds of thousands of French babies received Beyfortus in 2023, Dr. Helen Banoun identified a shocking and unexplained increase in infant deaths linked to the vaccine’s uptake. Banoun also highlighted the FDA’s own data, which shows — clearly and alarmingly — a much higher rate of deaths in the Beyfortus treatment group compared to the placebo. This data appears on page 70 of the Biologics License Application for Beyfortus, but it seems the manufacturers rely on no one reading it.

Other literature cited in the Banoun paper shows that children were getting sicker with respiratory illnesses, signaling immune imprinting and disease enhancement — negative efficacy against the very illness the vaccines are supposed to treat.

According to VAERS reports, a baby boy died immediately after receiving the injection, and a baby girl was found unresponsive seven hours later. “Sudden infant death syndrome,” indeed.

What Trump can do

Moreover, the problem extends beyond the individuals receiving the vaccine. Dr. Peter McCullough has documented growing evidence that these products may be creating super-resistant strains of RSV.

We cannot continue like this as a civilization. Continuing mass vaccination without immediate restrictions and research violates the principles of the pro-life movement, based on the available data. It also violates the Nuremberg Code on human experimentation.

To that end, Trump’s next HHS secretary would do well to implement the following policies regarding vaccines:

  • No shot should be marketed as a vaccine in any way if it is not proven to stop infection.
  • No shot should be approved without a full placebo group that is kept permanently to study long-term differences with the trial group.
  • No shot should be approved unless it shows an all-cause mortality benefit over time and most certainly cannot show more deaths in the trial group.
  • No shot should be approved for one age group when there are clear safety signals in other age groups, unless it can be proven that those safety issues do not apply to the targeted cohort. For example, even after the FDA admitted that RSV shots caused Guillain-Barré syndrome and walked back its approval for people over 60, the agency still recommends the shots for people over 75.
  • No mRNA shots whatsoever.
  • No shot should be approved without oncogenicity, genotoxicity, or long-term safety studies, none of which were conducted with any of the RSV shots.

This issue is no longer just about COVID or Operation Warp Speed. The RSV vaccine approvals were conducted openly, despite known problems with these shots from day one — just like in 1967. They didn’t even need to rely on emergency use authorization.

We have simply too much public information to sustain this deception any longer. The time for action on this long-standing failure is January 20, not a day later.

Make America Healthy Again: Senator Rand Paul on why the liberal reign of lies is OVER



“Make America Healthy Again” was a winning message for Trump’s campaign, especially considering the government appears to have been making America as unhealthy as possible over the past four years.

“There’s been such a groundswell across political categories of Americans who, just looking around, they can tell that people are spiritually and physically unwell, that there’s a pandemic of sorts of just real unfitness in America, and they’re suspicious of their food, they’re suspicious of vaccines,” James Poulos of “Zero Hour” tells Senator Rand Paul.

Paul agrees, telling Poulos that “the government needs to turn over a new leaf and try being honest.”

“Because of their vast dishonesty, people are hesitant. People don’t believe the government any more, and I’ll give you an example of why they probably shouldn’t,” he adds, before citing the COVID response as the primary reason.


“The vaccine committees that came forward to approve a booster vaccine for COVID, they really recommended only for over 65, or those who are at risk for COVID. The Biden administration, though, came forward and said, ‘No, your 6-month-old should take it. Everybody from 6 months of age and up should take this COVID vaccine,’” he continues.

“Well, when you do the investigation, you find that the vaccine is actually of greater risk to a young person, to a child, a toddler, adolescent, teenager, young adult, than the disease,” he adds.

But why wouldn’t they warn the American people that the cure may be more dangerous than the disease? Because that’s not how the pharmaceutical companies, who worked with the federal government to make the vaccines, make their money.

“It appears as if the government perhaps is more concerned with the profit of Pfizer and Moderna than they are actually with the truth,” Paul says, adding, “People are suspecting everything the government tells them, because we’ve had such a spate of dishonesty.”

Court: Doctors Threatened For Questioning The Covid Regime Can Sue Tyrannical Credentialing Boards

US surgeon general declares new BOGUS public health crisis



The left loves to slap the term “public health crisis” on things like climate change because it paves the way for government overreach and the erosion of our freedoms.

Yesterday, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy formally declared gun violence as a public health crisis and called for a ban on assault weapons and civilian use of large capacity magazines.

EVERYTHING Is A Public Health Crisis Now! This Time It's Guns!youtu.be

Murthy also attests that “gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and adolescents ages one to nineteen,” which is simply “not true,” says Sara Gonzales.

“That in itself should disqualify anything that he's going to say on the subject because that is a lie,” adds Rippaverse Comics’ Eric July. “The fact that people keep pedaling that stuff and it goes unchecked blows my freaking mind.”

According to July, this gun violence public health crisis nonsense means one thing: “What they’re gonna do is punish free people ... people who have used no aggression on anybody and have not committed any actual crimes.”

Sara agrees and makes a fantastic point: “If they were actually serious about gun violence, they would do something to clean up the streets of Chicago," "they wouldn’t be releasing violent criminals into the streets,” and they “would probably do something about the cartels coming in and out of our country.”

But the point, of course, isn’t protecting Americans from gun violence. The point is control.

Jaco Booyens points to New York City as a prime example — Currently in NYC, if someone commits a “sexual offense ... to a disabled person,” they will “walk the same day.”

“Don’t come to me with your want to fight violence,” Booyens says. “This is about taking power away from good American citizens to silence them into submission so Big Daddy Government can rule and rob your life from you.”
