Eating crickets and meat grown in a lab with cancer-like cells - WHO APPROVED THAT?! Scott Tips, president of the National Health Federation (NHF) and internationally recognized health freedom attorney, joins host, Jamie Belz, to help us understand the deeper mechanisms of Codex Alimentarius, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the global regulatory web that threatens access to nutrient-dense food, natural health remedies, and therapeutic supplements. As the only health-freedom organization with official INGO (International Non-Governmental Organization) status at Codex, NHF is uniquely positioned to stand up for the public's right to safe, informed, and autonomous healthcare choices on the global stage. Over the last 70 years, NHF has defended medical choice and challenged the federal government's overreach into nutrition, supplementation, and holistic healing. Some quick topics/snippets from this episode: Codex creates international food law—affecting everything from vitamin dosage limits to whether or not your meat contains drug residues. Most people don't even know Codex exists. And yet, decisions made there determine what shows up in your grocery cart, your supplement bottle, and your child's plate. The U.S. can now force genetically modified foods into countries that don't want them — not through diplomacy, but through international tribunals using Codex standards as their weapon. Ractopamine is a drug with zero therapeutic value. It makes animals fatter, faster — but it's banned in the EU, China, and Russia. In the U.S., you're probably eating it. When you hear ‘scientific consensus,' be cautious. The phrase is used to bulldoze public concern. You can be banned for calling out corruption at Codex. At CODEX, NHF is the only one defending your right to natural health freedom. The EU, Russia, even Iran — they've stood up for consumer safety at Codex more than the U.S. delegates have. The scary thing isn't just what the FDA is doing. It's how many people still trust them, blindly — even when their actions have harmed more people than every U.S. war combined. We need advocacy from the ground up. Most parents feeding their kids toxic food don't even know it — because the truth has been buried. “Frankenmeat”, insect protein, and natural flavoring cover-ups, all of which bypass transparent labeling laws while being quietly introduced into the food supply. They're trying to outlaw homeopathy—while promoting lab-grown meat and insect protein as sustainable alternatives. We don't want to be right. We want to get it right. “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship… To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic.” - Dr. Benjamin Rush, Declaration of Independence signator and Surgeon General of the Continental Army "If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls of those who live under tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson TAKE ACTION: Join the National Health Federation for only $45/year to support international advocacy at Codex and receive the quarterly NHF magazine.

PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, May 1: The Spanish papers continue to wonder what – or who – was responsible for the Great Blackout that plunged Spain and Portugal into darkness this week. Is renewable energy to blame? Also: US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr alarms medical experts over his plans to impose placebo testing of vaccines. Plus: Steven Spielberg reveals what he thinks is the greatest film of all time. There is lots of scrutiny around renewable energies after the shock nationwide power outage that hit Spain and Portugal earlier this week. Spanish daily La Vanguardia asks that very question on the front page of its website: Who is to Blame for the Great Blackout? Was it a photovoltaic plant that shut down, a French disconnection, a poorly designed IT system or overconfidence in the system's infallibility? We still don't know what caused the blackout, but many have been quick to blame renewable energy for the system's failure. But in the same edition, La Vanguardia interviews the head of an energy research group, Jose Luis Dominguez, who says that Spain needs to continue investing in renewable energy. He concedes, though, that the blackout highlights the need for adjustments in regulation and oversight of companies. And that the low inertia of solar and wind energy requires more investment and innovation in reacting to unforeseen circumstances. That's the message echoed in an article from Reuters entitled "Don't blame renewables for Spain's power outage". Instead, the news agency says, Monday's blackout should be a warning to governments that investment in power storage and grid upgrades are just as important as expanding renewable energy projects.The US department of health is planning to change the way vaccines are tested and critics say the move could undermine public trust in immunisation. The Washington Post reports that Robert F. Kennedy Jnr wants to impose placebo testing in all new vaccines, in which people receive either the vaccine or an inert substance like a saline shot. Placebo testing is commonplace for new pathogens but not for well-researched diseases like measles and polio. Medical experts say this could be unethical because the placebo group would not receive a known effective intervention to a potentially deadly disease. The Post says the health department wants to increase transparency. Since Kennedy Jnr's appointment as head of health, the US top vaccine regulator Peter Marks has resigned under pressure, while Kennedy Jnr has continued to express his scepticism around vaccines amid an ongoing deadly measles outbreak in the US.The investigative journalism nonprofit collective Forbidden Stories has released a new report detailing the shocking treatment of Ukrainians in a Russian prison. Forbidden Stories is a collective which aims to continue the investigative reporting of journalists who have been silenced. Their Victoriia Project is named for Ukrainian journalist Victoriia Roshchyna's efforts to document the war in Ukraine. On her fourth trip in 2023, however, she never came back. Earlier this year, what has been identified as her body was delivered to Ukraine. Forbidden Stories details the treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of wars and in some cases, civilians at the notorious Taganrog prison. This is where Victoriia ended up. The articles describes the prison as "synonymous with the most violent types of treatment imaginable, reminiscent of the worst Soviet gulags". According to former inmates, beatings, unimaginable torture and food deprivation were routine occurrences at the prison. They also faced punishment for speaking Ukrainian and some inmates ended up committing suicide as a result of the torture. In cinema news, Steven Spielberg has revealed what he thinks is the greatest film of all time. Screen Rant reports that the legendary director sys Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film "The Godfather" was the greatest movie of all time. In fact, it was so good that it shook his confidence as a director and almost made him not want to become one, according to Spielberg. A few years later though, "Jaws" came out and Spielberg's career took off. He, like Coppola, is part of the New Hollywood group of directors who brought filmmaking into the modern era.Finally, a pair of tennis fans have got engaged in the stands before Alex de Minaur and Lorenzo Musetti's Round of 16 match in the Madrid Open.

On this week's episode, Eric Schmidt, Brad Loncar, Yaron Werber, Paul Matteis, and Nina Kjellson discuss impact of tariffs on biopharma relative to other sectors, FDA updates and bright spots, data, and fundraising. The episode opens with a conversation on tariffs and the upheaval and shifts at the FDA, including the departure of Peter Marks, former director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, which has the group concerned over loss of institutional memory, history, and the ability to meet deadlines. The conversation shifts to the measles outbreak, noting concerns about public health and future regulation due to HHS reorganization plans and perceived industry inaction. The group then discusses data, including Vaxcyte's underwhelming Phase 2b data, and hopes to avoid negative vaccine sentiment. Additionally, Eli Lilly's Phase 2 data for its siRNA-based therapeutic to lower lipoprotein(a) showed promising results and Amgen and Novartis are conducting their own Phase 3 trials for Lp(a). The episode concludes with a discussion on Isomorphic Labs, which raised over $600 million, with the group praising the investment in early-stage discovery science and expressed hope that it will facilitate the company's transformation of technology into drugs. *This episode aired on April 4, 2025.

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

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is raising alarms in the scientific community. Kennedy declared during a recent cabinet meeting with President Trump that by September — just five months away — the federal government will determine the cause of autism and begin eliminating exposures he claims are to blame. Trump echoed the tone of Kennedy's remarks, stating, "There's gotta be something artificial out there that's doing this." But here's the problem: the science doesn't agree. While the root causes of autism remain complex, researchers widely agree it's influenced by a combination of genetics and environmental factors such as parental age and prenatal exposures — not vaccines. That vaccine-autism link has been repeatedly debunked by decades of peer-reviewed studies. Still, under Kennedy's leadership, the CDC has been ordered to reinvestigate vaccines and autism. Meanwhile, top FDA vaccine official Dr. Peter Marks resigned, accusing Kennedy of pushing misinformation and lies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, April 8: There's defiance, anger and determination from the Chinese press, which react to Donald Trump's threats to impose up to 104 percent tariffs on Chinese goods. Opinions say China has the upper hand in this war of words. Also: Trump's Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is forced to endorse the measles vaccine after the death of a second child in Texas. Plus: scientists say they've created a version of the dire wolf – a canine that went extinct 9,000 years ago! The trade war of words continues to dominate the press, especially in China. In response to Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff hikes last week, China has said it will impose duties of 34 percent on US goods. In retaliation to China's retaliation, Trump has promised fresh tariff hikes, which would bring these to a total 104 percent on Chinese goods. There's no word yet on whether China will react once again, but the game of one-upping is putting the world economy through the grater, as we see in a China Daily illustration by Song Chen.There are also some stern words in the China Daily. One opinion writer argues that Washington must learn that arrogance does not pay, adding: "What is unfolding in the United States today is the sad story that the country has become increasingly authoritarian, and more and more like a centrally planned economy. Private enterprises are now at the behest of the all-powerful president."There is also lots of talk about Black Monday. Markets tumbled across the board amid news of Trump's fresh tariffs. The Global Times, the Chinese government's official paper, quotes the foreign ministry spokesperson as accusing the US of economic bullying, unilateralism and protectionism. There are stern warnings from the Global Times' editor that China is not one to be messed with. The paper tries to take the moral high ground, defending its countermeasures as necessary not just for China but to actively "uphold a fair and free world trading system."The opinion pages also appear to feel that China is prepared for this trade war. The Global Times quotes Bloomberg as saying that China has already "trade war-proofed" its economy. Meanwhile, The Sydney Morning Herald notes that China could emerge the winner from this trade war. Under Biden, it says, the US and its allies were united against China. Now, those allies have no choice but to turn towards China and the result will be an isolated and poor US and a new world order with China at the helm. The editors of The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, have an unorthodox suggestion to those countries affected by Trump's tariffs: call his bluff and offer zero tariffs on all bilateral goods and services. A long shot, no doubt, it admits!Staying in the US, there's a flurry of contradicting statements from the man in charge of health, Robert Kennedy Jr. As The Washington Post reports, it comes in the wake of a measles outbreak in Texas. A second child died there this weekend, bringing to the total death toll to three. The Washington Post reports that some unvaccinated children hospitalised in late March with measles had signs of vitamin A deficiency. This then led to a surge in demand for vitamin A-rich supplements like cod liver oil, which Kennedy touted last month as a potential remedy for measles. Neoscope, a science and tech website, reports that Kennedy has now been forced to endorse the measles vaccine as being most effective against what the website calls a "dire and entirely preventable situation".In an interview with the Associated Press, Dr Peter Marks, a former vaccine chief of the Food and Drug Administration, speaks of an extraordinary struggle with Kennedy's team. He agreed to grant access to Kennedy's associates to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, containing reports of potential vaccine-related issues. But he refused to let them edit the data because "frankly we don't trust them". Marks then resigned, or rather was forced to resign.We end on some positive news for science: the return of an extinct wolf! The company Colossal Biosciences says its team have brought back a version of a dire wolf – a canine that roamed the Americas during the Late Pleistocene era and went extinct 9,500 years ago. Time Magazine was able to meet the three pups born at the end of last year and early this year. It explains that scientists deciphered the dire wolf genome, rewrote the genetic code of the common grey wolf to match it and used domestic dogs as surrogate mothers to bring into the world Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi. It's certainly a feat for genetic engineering – Gizmodo notes that the company also successfully genetically engineered the woolly mouse recently. Its ultimate project: resurrecting the woolly mammoth!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.
It’s been a whirlwind week in public health. In this episode, host Steven Newmark breaks down a string of major developments coming out of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). From mass layoffs across HHS, including at the FDA, to the resignation of the country’s top vaccine regulator, these changes raise serious concerns—especially amid a rising measles outbreak. Tune in to hear what this means for patients, public health efforts, and the fight against vaccine hesitancy. Among the highlights in this episode: 00:50: Steven Newmark, Chief of Policy at GHLF, discusses HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement of 10,000 staff layoffs, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) being the most impacted 01:31: Steven reflects on RFK Jr.'s earlier warning to FDA workers to "pack their bags" and discusses concerns about maintaining service levels with a 25% workforce cut 02:08: Quoting Robert Califf, Steven shares the demoralization felt by former and current HHS staff, calling out the treatment of hardworking public health employees 02:38: Steven shares concerns from Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) head, particularly around the likely impact of layoffs on already underfunded nursing home inspections 03:20: Steven reports the forced resignation of Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, and the alarming response from the public health community 04:06: Steven details Dr. Marks’ warnings about leadership skepticism toward vaccines, especially in light of the growing measles outbreak 04:34: Steven gives an update on the measles outbreak in Texas and other states, citing more than 500 cases nationwide and highlighting RFK Jr.'s unscientific treatment suggestions like vitamin A and cod liver oil 05:16: Steven discusses how HHS cuts are hampering efforts to track infectious diseases and fund vaccine research, even as the outbreak fuels a shift toward pro-vaccine sentiment in affected areas 05:49: Steven urges listeners to get vaccinated and ensure those around them—especially children—are protected with the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine Contact Our Host Steven Newmark, Chief of Policy at GHLF: snewmark@ghlf.org A podcast episode produced by Ben Blanc, Director, Digital Production and Engagement at GHLF.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world.Pharmaceutical companies are pushing back against Trump's tariffs, requesting staggered tariffs as Trump plans for a more aggressive set of tariffs on April 2. Democrats are criticizing Trump's health cuts and policies, with lawsuits being filed and Senator Cory Booker speaking out against the administration. The FDA is facing turnover and layoffs, with concerns about the "revolving door" of talent between the agency and biopharma companies. Denali is making progress in crossing the blood-brain barrier for neuroscience treatments. In the midst of these developments, the biotech industry is seeing growth in cell and gene therapy investments. Despite these challenges, companies like Trilink are offering solutions for accelerating therapy discoveries with custom guide RNAs for CRISPR workflows.In other news, Peter Marks, head of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was forced out after clashing with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over transparency issues. Marks, known for his work on innovative therapies like cell and gene therapy, resigned due to the lack of desired truth and transparency from Kennedy. This event has caused turmoil in the biopharma industry, leading to a drop in biotech shares. Additionally, massive layoffs are expanding across HHS as part of Kennedy's plan to remove up to 10,000 staff members. The departure of Marks has raised concerns about the future of the FDA and the industry as a whole. Experts fear that the agency is losing institutional knowledge and experienced leaders, which could have negative implications for drug development and safety. Calls for Kennedy's dismissal have been made by analysts following Marks' resignation. The industry is now facing uncertainty and instability in the wake of these events.
America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Vaughn & Dr. Tankersley – Dr. Peter Marks, longtime FDA vaccine chief, is out—sparking scrutiny over his role in pushing COVID shots despite safety concerns.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world. Former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf has spoken out as layoffs continue at the FDA, with the latest cuts affecting the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The layoffs are part of a larger reduction of 10,000 jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, biopharma markets are in chaos following the departure of Peter Marks from the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).Carisma Therapeutics has laid off most of its staff and is considering selling off assets and winding down fully. Analysts are calling for President Donald Trump to reconsider his appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The departure of Peter Marks from the FDA has caused shares in the biopharma markets to tumble.Trilink offers custom guide RNAs (grRNAs) for CRISPR-based therapy discoveries. Despite market challenges, the cell and gene therapy sector has seen a 30% investment surge. Companies like Tenaya are cutting their workforce to fund development of gene therapies.Overall, the biopharma industry is facing uncertainty and instability as layoffs continue and key figures depart from regulatory agencies.
Biopharma's reaction to the forced resignation of venerable CBER director Peter Marks has been swift and furious, with former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf saying on LinkedIn that “the FDA as we've known it is finished.” Analysts, meanwhile, called Marks' exit “arguably biotech investors' greatest fear,” as company shares across the industry tumbled. Marks' announcement added insult to injury for the agency, which was already reeling from the announced cuts of 10,000 employees across the Department of Health and Human Services, including 3,500 FDA staffers. Those layoffs began to roll out on Tuesday as some employees showed up to work only to discover they no longer had a job. Amid all this chaos, Cantor Fitzgerald analysts called for Kennedy himself to get the axe, saying in part that he was “undermining the trusted leadership of health care in this country.” Despite the turmoil, drug development continues in the obesity space, with Novo Nordisk presenting mixed data from its semaglutide franchise at the American College of Cardiology's annual conference last weekend. While an oral version of the blockbuster drug showed cardiovascular benefits for some patients, it failed to change the trajectory of other major adverse cardiovascular events. Meanwhile, Novo continues its battle against compounding pharmacies manufacturing copycat versions of semaglutide—as multiple players scramble for a piece of this massive pie. On the Alzheimer's front, Eli Lilly's Kisunla failed last week to win the recommendation of the EU's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. This decision is consistent with CHMP's recent stance on anti-amyloid antibodies, as Biogen and Eisai have also struggled to get Leqembi approved in Europe. On a positive note, pharma R&D returns grew again in 2024, but Deloitte warned that this progress is “fragile.” The firm urged companies to be bold and embrace cutting edge technology like gene therapy and AI. These returns can't help everyone, however, as the past week has seen an uptick in layoffs across biopharma, including at Carisma Therapeutics, Organon and Tenaya Therapeutics. Finally, as April kicks off cancer conference season, BioSpace took a deep dive into the recent action in the always-hot in radiopharmaceuticals space.

Peter Marks' resignation from the FDA, pushed by RFK Jr., is a win for those who believe in accountability and transparency in government agencies. Marks played a key role in the rushed approval of COVID-19 vaccines, prioritizing Big Pharma’s interests over the American people's right to informed consent and medical freedom. His departure signals a much-needed shake-up in the bureaucratic machine that has long operated without oversight, rubber-stamping experimental treatments while silencing dissent. This is a victory against government overreach and corporate collusion, proving that public pressure can still hold unelected officials accountable. The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny. It's why it has developed a series of prescription drug medical emergency kits that prescribed directly to you and delivered to your door to use incase of an emergency. You will have on hand much needed antibiotics, antivirals and antiparasitics, including Ivermectin. Please visit TWC.Health/Grant and use the promo code "Grant" for 10% off.

Job opportunities within the biopharma industry were also highlighted for those interested.Thank you for tuning in to Pharma and Biotech daily - keeping you updated on all the latest news in the world of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
The FDA removed its chief tobacco regulator, Brian King, amid significant cuts across the agency. King, disappointed by his placement on administrative leave, saw multiple employees in the FDA's tobacco center also receive termination notices. His tenure included actions against flavored e-cigarettes, contributing to a decline in teen vaping rates. This leadership change follows the ousting of vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks, with plans to eliminate 3,500 FDA positions targeting scrutiny of childhood vaccines and ultra-processed foods. Incoming commissioner Marty Makary will face challenges managing an agency that has lost many experts. Tobacco-related diseases remain a major public health concern despite lower smoking rates. Criticism of the FDA's tobacco center has heightened from lawmakers and public health advocates, while the tobacco industry pushes for faster approvals of e-cigarettes. Under King's leadership, several flavored e-cigarette applications faced rejection, resulting in legal challenges against the FDA.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

In their most urgent and emotionally charged episode yet, Dr. Jonathan Howard and science journalist Wendy Orent confront the accelerating unraveling of public health institutions in the United States under the RFK Jr. administration. They open with a flood of disturbing headlines: Peter Marks, the nation's top vaccine expert, has been ousted. Measles is surging in Texas, and children are arriving at hospitals with liver failure after being treated with toxic vitamin A overdoses—recommended by RFK-aligned influencers. The CDC and NIH are being gutted: funding pulled, scientists fired, and research into vaccine hesitancy and mRNA technology halted. David Geier, a disgraced figure with a history of chemically castrating autistic children, has been tapped to lead a new federal vaccine safety study. Howard and Orent don't hold back. They rip into this dystopian reversal of public health, where disinformation peddlers are now calling the shots. They highlight the sheer absurdity and danger of putting figures like Jay Bhattacharya, Scott Atlas, and Geier in positions of power—people who have spent years sowing distrust in vaccines, downplaying COVID, and demonizing public health measures. The episode draws a brutal contrast between the lived reality of frontline doctors and essential workers—many of whom died in early pandemic waves—and the self-styled martyrs of the anti-lockdown movement, who now paint themselves as victims. One particularly enraging example: Bhattacharya's claim that he felt “unsafe” on Stanford's campus after a flyer was posted with his own quote alongside Florida's Delta wave death tolls. This, while over 20,000 Floridians died in that wave, many unvaccinated due to the policies he championed. A major target of their critique is the book In COVID's Wake, which they say rewrites history by glorifying the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration and ignoring the real human toll of their misinformation. Orent and Howard dismantle the book's central claim—that these anti-lockdown figures were treated unfairly—pointing out that many of them became media darlings, got promoted, or were appointed to powerful roles. Meanwhile, real scientists and doctors who fought on the frontlines were ignored, censured, or worse. They also expose the cynical “woke-washing” by these same figures—claiming to champion the poor and marginalized while promoting policies that left essential workers unprotected. Their concern for “equity,” Howard and Orent argue, was nothing more than rhetorical cover for libertarian, laissez-faire ideology. As the episode barrels toward its conclusion, one message becomes chillingly clear: We are watching the active dismantling of public health—science silenced, disinformation rewarded, and truth replaced by ideology. And as Dr. Howard puts it: “If we had predicted these headlines six months ago, we would've sounded insane. But now, they're reality.” This episode is a searing call to action. For scientists. For journalists. For anyone who still believes in truth, public health, and protecting the vulnerable. Because as Orent warns: “The wild horses of the plague apocalypse are descending... and the party's just beginning.” Connect with us further on https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/author/jonathanhoward/ The Fine Print The content presented in the "We Want Them Infected" Podcast and associated book is intended for informational and educational purposes only.

The FDA’s top vaccine official has resigned. On Friday, Dr. Peter Marks wrote that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” That follows this week’s announcement that the Department of Health and Human Services would fire around 10,000 of its workers. Ali Rogin speaks with two former HHS leaders about what this means for the country. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
