Podcasts about human services secretary

Before Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. were prominent members of the Trump Administration (FBI Director, FBI Deputy Director and Health and Human Services Secretary, respectively), they were conspiracy theorists. But now that these men hold positions of power in the government, the various conspiracies they pushed are coming back to haunt them. Because their longtime supporters want them to act on all the wild claims they made. Will Sommer, a senior writer at The Bulwark and author of the 'False Flag' newsletter, talks about the tension within the online community that propelled these men to power.And in headlines: President Donald Trump issued a bunch of pardons for tax cheats, Elon Musk said the GOP's 'Big Beautiful Bill' undermines the work he did at DOGE, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller reportedly wants more deportations.Show Notes:Check out Will's newsletter – www.thebulwark.com/s/false-flagSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Much like the popularity of methylene blue, the building popularity of nicotine pouches has produced a sort of health sub-culture within the larger context of a generally unhealthy population. Whereas methylene blue is relatively new to the public, nicotine has been around, and much more popular, for a lot longer. Sure, methylene blue has certain medical benefits, namely as a supplement for those with methemoglobinemia, though too much of the substance can cause the same condition. Though it goes with anything - quantity, quality, long term use, additional additives, and health context matter. The same goes for nicotine pouches. Nicotine, especially the non-smoked kind, can benefit cognition, memory, and concentration to a small degree, though delivery mechanisms and quality matter greatly.  Could it be that these recent health potions are nothing more than a commodifying and monetizing not only of health but of the healthcare revolution?The bottom line is this: Big Tobacco lied, obfuscated and killed for decades. By the 1980s and 1990s, studies, high profile cases, and lawsuits put some final nails in their coffin. It was around this time that these companies began to diversify heavily. Phillip Morris purchased General Foods, Kraft, and Miller Brewing in the 80s, and a little later Nabisco in 2000. R.J. Reynolds had purchased the same company in the 80s. They also had control of Pacific Hawaiian products since the 60s. These acquisitions allowed tobacco companies to apply cigarette marketing tactics, like targeting children and minorities, and to develop "hyper-palatable" foods high in fat, sugar, and sodium, influencing the U.S. food system for decades.Vaping was then introduced in the early 2000s and within a few years Big Tobacco was diversifying again. In 2014 MarkTen e-cigarettes were introduced by Altria (Phillip Morris) and Vuse was introduced by R.J. Reynolds (BAT). Soon after Altria introduced ON!, British American Tobacco (R.J. Reynolds) launched VELO, and Phillip Morris acquired ZYN. When vaping began to develop a bad reputation for some, the industry convinced many that cigarettes were the safer choice, while others kept vaping for the same reason.Although these companies had marketed nicotine gum and patches for decades, the market grew rapidly as people tried to stop smoking in general. But what about the market for non-smokers? Well, that's where ON!, ZYN, and VELO come in. Instead of chewing tobacco, cigarettes, patches or gum, pouches were for all non-smokers and promoted as having health benefits. By the time these pouches were largely under the control of Big Tobacco there began a campaign of promotion on social media, primarily TikTok, for flavored nicotine pouches - as with flavored cigarettes and vapes. Now they have been picked up by conservatives and those leaning in the direction of MAHA. It all makes sense, too, when considering what the HHS and NIH have done so far under RFK Jr. Although certain vaccines are longer advised for healthy kids and pregnant women, the HHS and NIH are investing millions, maybe billions, in “universal influenza and coronavirus vaccines.” With Project Stargate there is further investment in personalized medicine and vaccines, followed up in May, 2025, with three other interesting developments. May 5 saw the White House strip regulations for domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing and May 12 saw the White House authorize that “the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) shall facilitate direct-to-consumer purchasing programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell their products to American patients at the most-favored-nation price." On May 19 the HHS posted about RFK Jr meeting with technocrats “creating wearable devices, AI tools, and personalized apps that empower Americans to take control of their health.” What all of this really does is allow for the mass collection of personal health data so that even more accurate health models can be created in order to personalized marketing and products that can be sold directly to the public with no middle party, while also empowering insurance companies to take advantage of knowing who can be charged more for private decisions. This isn't revolution, it's commodification and monetization. And at the very least, anyone advocating for methylene blue, itself a “fetotoxic agent,” or nicotine pouches without first examining all the free ways we can be healthier, or without noting that the first is a dye and the second is sold by a famously corrupt and evil industry, is either untrustworthy, ignorant, or a sell out. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma e Biotech world.At a recent U.S. Senate hearing, Health and Human Services Secretary was questioned about cuts being made to the department and his stance on endorsing the measles vaccine during a growing outbreak. The hearing was tense at times, with RFK Jr. firm on supporting the cuts but wavering on his stance on the MMR vaccine. AbbVie's ADC received accelerated approval for lung cancer treatment, FDA delays decision on Biohaven's application, and chaos ensues at the FDA's advisory committee planning office after workforce cuts. Sino Biological offers solutions for autoimmune disease research, with reagents for nearly 50 diseases. Novo Nordisk has invested $2.4 billion in a new oral obesity drug through a deal with Septerna, aiming to catch up with competitors in the oral weight loss space. AbbVie has committed $335 million upfront in a partnership with Adarx Pharmaceuticals for siRNA research, while GSK has abandoned a TIGIT therapy and instead acquired rights to a liver drug from Boston Pharmaceuticals for potential $2 billion deal. This news highlights the ongoing developments and investments in the pharmaceutical industry.

The May 12, 2025, EO from the President is supposed to lower prescription drug prices, some say up to 80%. The EO, however, which is not a law, magical wand, or price control, simply directs the Security of HHS, RFK Jr., to negotiate better prices. The May 5, 2025, White House directive titled "Reduce Regulatory Barriers to Domestic Pharmaceutical Manufacturing," tells more of the story. The goal is to reduce costs and make more drugs in the US. Section four of the May 12 order states: "To the extent consistent with law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) shall facilitate direct-to-consumer purchasing programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell their products to American patients at the most-favored-nation price." In other words, more factories, more drugs, less regulations, and direct manufacture to consumer deals. This EO does NOT MAGA or MAHA, it greatly increases the manufacture, distribution, and usage of substances that do that opposite. As does the introduction of funding for universal covid-vaccines.A few key details are left out of the political assumptions and pandering: 1. why do Americans need these drugs to begin with? As the sickest developed nation in the world, that spends the most money on healthcare, it should be obvious the pharmaceutical industry is not helping us - in fact, the opposite seems to be true. 2. even with lower negotiated prices the overall cost can still be exceedingly higher than the price tag of development, marketing, and the earning of honest profit. 3. if, as the order says, America is the "largest purchaser of pharmaceuticals," and "Americans should get the best deal," then we are missing the point; the largest purchaser would indicate higher demand which would mean higher prices; getting the best deal doesn't mean becoming healthier - it means continuing to pay money for things that don't contribute to our health.-*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Chlorinated Chicken and Pig Hair Pizza. It's Dinnertime in America.     Robert F. Kennedy Jr has stirred up controversy since being named Health and Human Services Secretary.   But can we all agree that the disgusting ingredients we're feeding our families should be banned in America, just as they are banned overseas?

We'll get reaction to the incendiary comments made about people with autism by Robert Kennedy, Jr., the US Health and Human Services Secretary. (We know, we still can't believe it either.)

Measles is an extremely contagious disease. It's also extremely preventable. There's a vaccine. It's highly effective. For decades it has made measles outbreaks in the U.S. relatively rare, and measles deaths rarer still. But the U.S. has now seen more than 700 measles cases this year, and 3 deaths so far with active outbreaks across six states.The federal response is under scrutiny because Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has made a career spreading false information about vaccines.What are this administration's views on vaccines, and what do they mean for what is already one of the worst U.S. measles outbreaks this century. Kennedy publicly promised he would support vaccines. Dr. Peter Marks, who was forced out as the nation's top vaccine regulator says his department isn't doing enough.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What exactly happened in the last presidential election? Does it make sense that Trump won?  Why is it not okay to entertain the notion that something may have been done improperly? We welcome Nathan Taylor. He is the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance. Their mission is to investigate and litigate potential election manipulation, interference, and irregularities in election results.  With the worst flu season in recent memory underway and a death from measles in the serious outbreak in Texas, RFK Jr. is canceling vaccine talks. It's the second federal vaccine panel meeting that has been nixed since RFK Jr. became the Health and Human Services Secretary. There are lawsuits-a-plenty against the Trump administration and Elon Musk. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz,  will swing by the show to unravel it all. 

Last week the U.S. Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a noted vaccine skeptic, as Health and Human Services Secretary. This comes as a measles outbreak in Texas widens to 58 people and as Louisiana's top health official says the state will no longer promote mass vaccination. We talk to pediatrician and infectious disease specialist Adam Ratner about his concerns about the nation's vaccination program under Kennedy and Trump, the impact of misinformation on public health, and why measles is a harbinger for other public health crises. Ratner's new book is “Booster Shots: The History and Future of Measles Vaccines.” Guests: Adam Ratner MD, infectious disease specialist and pediatrician https://www.adamratnermd.com/

You don't have to be part of the dairy sector to see how important whole milk is for children, best-selling author Nina Teicholz, Ph.D., said in the latest Dairy Defined Podcast.That's because nutrition science makes a compelling case for full-fat milk, underscoring the importance of getting whole milk back in schools, the goal of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, she said. Children who drink whole milk tend to be healthier, she said. “You need the fat in the milk to digest the vitamins that are in the milk, those are fat soluble vitamins. “I'm not a dairy advocate, but it turns out that the science supports the position of those of people in the industry who would prefer to see whole milk back in schools.”Teicholz, author of “The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet,” also discussed how food policy might be shaken up by Robert F. Kennedy Jr's. confirmation as Health and Human Services Secretary. NMPF has a call to action supporting the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act for listeners who want to get involved on the advocacy page of our website, nmpf.org/take-action

In the five years since the COVID pandemic began, trust in public health institutions and vaccines has plummeted. According to a new opinion poll, just over half of the public now says they trust the Food and Drug Administration to make the right recommendations on health issues at least “a fair amount,” down from nearly two-thirds (65%) in June 2023. About 1 in 4 Republicans parents now say they've akipped or delayed some children's vaccines."Why Should I Trust You?" is a new podcast about why so many Americans have lost trust in science and public health. We hear from two of the show's co-hosts, journalists Brinda Adhikari and Tom Johnson. They speak about what they've learned from a remarkably broad range of skeptics, scientists and doctors who have different opinions about vaccines and public policy on healthcare. "How Do We Fix It?" reports on the people, projects and ideas of Braver Angels, America's volunteer-led cross-partisan movement working to bring people together across rigid lines of partisan division. Braver Angels' Truth and Trust Project was featured on episode 414 of "How Do We Fix It?". This work aims to bridge divides among people with different views on official responses to the pandemic. Braver Angels helped Brinda and Tom as they launched their podcast.Tom Johnson is an award winning producer with experience in documentary series, digital, cable and network news. Brinda Adhikari is the former executive producer of The Problem with John Stewart.This episode also looks at the changing public comments from Robert F Kennedy Jr., who may be the most powerful voice in US public health today. As we release this episode he's set to become President Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary. Kennedy's Senate nomination hearings have been highly contentious. To critics he's a destructive vaccine skeptic and spreader of conspiracy theories. Many Trump supporters see Kennedy as a hero and a fighter, willing to take on a broken healthcare system. We also learn more about the remarkable contrast between the high level of distrust over the introduction of vaccines against COVID, and what happened during the 1950's after the polio vaccine was introduced. Then there was a huge amount of acceptance. Some thought the vaccine was almost a gift from God. The vaccine reduced fear and increased trust of doctors and public health officials. Thank you to Braver Angels for help with making this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Introduction: Pink Sheet Executive Editor Derrick Gingery, Senior Writer Sarah Karlin-Smith, Senior Editor Sue Sutter and Editor-in-Chief Nielsen Hobbs discuss the many commitments Robert F.
