#388 Robert F. Kennedy Jr: CIA, Power, Corruption, War, Freedom, and Meaning

The 4 biggest vaccine makers—Sanofi, Merck, Pfizer, Glaxo—4 companies that make all of the 72 vaccines that are now... effectively mandated for American children, collectively those companies have paid $35 billion in criminal penalties and damages in the last decade.

Almost 50% of [the] FDA's budget comes from pharmaceutical companies ... Their salaries are coming from pharma—half their salaries. They know who their bosses are.

America is unsafer and poorer than it's ever been.

NIH itself collects royalties; they have margin rights for the patents on all the drugs that they work on. So, with the Moderna vaccine, which they promoted incessantly and aggressively, NIH owned 50% of that vaccine [and] is making billions and billions of dollars on it.

I'm on an anti-aging protocol from my doctor that includes testosterone replacement, but I don't take any steroids.

I was already at a mindset where I would have done anything I could do to improve my chances of never having to take drugs again by even 1%. And if believing in God was going to help me... I was going to do that.

Freedom does not mean chaos, and it does not mean anarchy ... It means the capacity for human beings to exercise and to fulfill their creative energies unrestrained as much as possible by government.

I think we have ought to have a foreign policy that restores our moral authority around the world... and as a purveyor of peace rather than a war-like nation.

We've spent 8 trillion dollars on the Iraq War and it's aftermath—the wars in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan. And what do we get for that? We got nothing.

I think some of the live virus vaccines are probably averting more problems than they're causing. There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.

I do intermittent fasting ... I start my first meal at around noon, and then I try to stop eating at 6 or 7.

When we first launched our democracy in 1780, we were the only democracy on Earth ... Today, there's probably 190, and all of them in one way or another are modeled on the American experience.
