A seismic shift in American health was revealed in a recent Senate hearing, and Secretary RFK Jr. delivered a stunning indictment of the institutions that have failed the public trust.
He presented the catastrophic numbers: chronic disease in America has exploded from 3% in 1950 to a staggering 76.4% today. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a national security and generational crisis. A direct consequence is that 8 out of 10 young Americans are now unfit for military service.
Who is accountable?
RFK Jr. laid the blame squarely at the feet of the CDC, stating, “We have to fire people at CDC. They did not do their job.” His mission is a fundamental overhaul, removing those who presided over this decline.
This commitment to reform was exemplified in his interaction with the former CDC head. When he asked her if she was a trustworthy person and she answered “no,” he requested her resignation. As he posed to the committee, “If you had an employee who told you they weren’t trustworthy, would you ask them to resign?”
When confronted with opposition from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which warned of politicization, RFK Jr. exposed what he sees as the root of the problem: systemic corruption. He labeled the AAP as “gravely conflicted,” citing its financial dependence on the largest vaccine makers.
He forcefully argued that his actions are not about politicization, but depoliticization. For 23 years, Congress has investigated the committee for conflicts of interest. His solution? “We got rid of the conflicts of interest and we depoliticized it and put great scientists on it.”
One of those new scientists, Dr. Levi, has written that “evidence is mounting and indisputable that mRNA vaccines cause serious harm, including death, especially among young people.” When asked if he agreed, RFK Jr.’s response was unequivocal: “I wasn’t aware he said it, but I think I agree with it.”
The final challenge was to the sitting Senators themselves: “You’ve sat in that chair for how long, 20, 25 years while the chronic disease in our children went up to 76 percent, and you said nothing.”
This is not a partisan issue. It is a health catastrophe decades in the making. For the first time in 20 years, infant mortality is rising. The status quo has failed.
The era of oversight and accountability has begun.
