https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u_Ok!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F369296f7-f4bb-4101-b156-c16147151ef8_2444x1570.png

✍️ The article discusses the possibility of a major announcement related to children's health, with speculation that the US government may roll out a new childhood vaccine schedule aligned with other Western nations.

👉 The US government may roll out a new childhood vaccine schedule aligned with other Western nations 👉 The ACIP is not involved in the decision-making process, as the President's directive was to HHS and its Secretary 👉 The new schedule could potentially include more vaccines and fewer doses by age 18 👉 The vaccine industry liability shield could drop for vaccines no longer included in the CDC childhood vaccine schedule 👉 This could lead to liability lawsuits against manufacturers, including Hepatitis A/B, Rotavirus, Varicella, influenza, and COVID vaccines

URGENT: PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST ORDERED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RELAX RULES ON CANNABIS

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!23kg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faf299ebb-bdf7-49bd-bb3a-c9e4134e908f_882x499.png

✍️ President Trump has signed an order to reschedule cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, despite concerns over its lack of medicinal value and potential harm to users, particularly teens and young adults.

👉 Cannabis is not a medicine, as it is not rigorously tested in clinical trials to treat specific diseases. 👉 The decision to reschedule cannabis is seen as a disappointment by many, as it fails to address the concerns over its medicinal value and potential harm. 👉 The industry's focus is on profit over public health, and the rescheduling will only benefit the industry and increase its access to capital and the banking system. 👉 Cannabis use can have severe psychiatric harms, including psychosis, addiction, and increased risk of heart attacks and car accidents.
