See if you can add 2+2.
1) Drug companies spend $100's of millions on TeeVee advertising.
2) TeeVee drums up DOOM DOOM DOOM reports on measles (it was CoVid a few years ago.)
Get the picture?
A young girl in Texas died from pneumonia which was not treated correctly. She also happened to have measles a week prior to her death. Similarly, a man died after crashing his motorcycle into a tree. He happened to have CoVid at the time. So the TeeVee (guided, no doubt, by a certain Moneyed Interest) told us that "measles" and "CoVid" (respectively) were to blame.
Not that long ago, millions of kids got measles in any given year. They also got mumps. Millions of them survived. That was the '40's, '50's, and early '60's. Ask me how I know.....
Then a certain Moneyed Interest developed a vaccine (MMR) which prevented those not-very-dreaded diseases and--somehow--persuaded the Feds that those MMR's were absolutely necessary for the continuation of Western Civilization or sumpin'sumpin'. So the Feds put them on a "Must Have" list, which made the Moneyed Interests a lot more Moneyed.
And perhaps caused autism and serious allergies, too, like earlier vaccines caused Guillan-Barre.
But who cares about that? Share prices and bonuses went up, and more TeeeVeee ads were purchased.
Get the picture yet?

Stolen from Covid & Coffee:
Secretary Kennedy has obviously been a very busy boy. And he’s clearly no sentimentalist. Astonishingly, NPR ran yesterday’s most accurate HHS headline.
To wit: “The Trump administration restructures federal health agencies, cuts 20,000 jobs.” Boom.
Let’s pause a moment. I’d like to speak directly to all the people who, like me, fumed during the pandemic’s deadly bureaucratic excesses. We passionately longed for mass firings at the public health agencies. We wished upon a star that thousands would get pink slips for what they did. But we never allowed ourselves to hope, not really, because it was too much to hope for. Because, honestly, when has anyone in government ever been accountable for anything?
Welp, be of great cheer. Today is our day. It’s finally here! Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., strode into the Department of Health and Human Services like a multi-armed spanking robot set on ‘high.’ Yesterday, HHS announced a total downsizing of 20,000 jobs, reducing headcount from 82,000 to 62,000.
Not only that, but Kennedy is slashing the total number of divisions within HHS practically in half, evaporating the health behemoth to 15 divisions from 28 (it had been happily shooting for 30).
