Democrat Critics of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the Big Pharma, Healthcare Dole for Millions of Dollars

Sean Moran 29 Jan 2025

During Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Senate Democrats criticized the healthcare nominee for chasing money and influence, while they have received millions of dollars from the healthcare industry.

Sen. Ron Wyden said that Kennedy, who Trump nominated to be his Health and Human Services Department Secretary, is “someone who chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if that may mean the tragic death of children and other vulnerable people.”

Although Wyden attacked Kennedy for allegedly chasing “money and influence,” it appears that Wyden has raised significant sums from the healthcare industry, which has a vested stake in the potential confirmation of Kennedy.

In the five years between 2019 and 2024, Wyden, has received sums to his campaign committee and his leadership PAC. They include:

    $749,316 from health professionals
    $539,242 from health services and health maintenance organizations (HMOs)
    $502,063 from pharmaceutical companies
    $375, 951 from hospitals and nursing homes

“You’re asking me to not sue drug companies, and I’m not gonna agree to that subject,” Kennedy said in response to Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) questioning.

Doctors’ ‘Committee’ Opposing RFK Is Bill Gates-Backed Astroturf with Fake Names

Joel B. Pollak  |  27 Jan 2025

A “committee” widely cited in the media as opposing the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services turns out to be a Bill Gates-backed “Astroturf” organization that accepts fake signatories.

The “Committee to Protect Health Care,” cited by NBC News and others, published an open letter declaring that doctors are “appalled by Donald Trump’s reckless decision” to appoint Kennedy. Thousands are said to have signed.

However, there is no verification process for signatories. (Breitbart News was able to sign up as Dr. Donald Duck, OG, of Disney World, FL, specializing in podiatry.) The anti-Kennedy petition simply accepts any signature from anyone.  .  .  .

These are the Senators pushing back against RFK Jr. Here’s how much they’ve taken from Big Pharma:

- Ron Wyden: $1.5M
- Michael Bennet: $1.5M
- Catherine Cortez Masto: $421K
- Maggie Hassan: $90K

No wonder they’re fighting so hard.

Reminder, this same bunch of clowns in Congress confirmed a mentally ill child psychiatrist who believes he's a female as assistant secretary for health and admiral in charge of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

Republicans would be insane to not support RFK. He is knowledgeable, passionate, and brings a new perspective to health programs and medicines.

In addition, the youth vote that was a big help to Trump love this guy.

If the 'science' is valid, it can withstand scrutiny. It pays to reexamine it from time to time, as the knowledge base changes, we develop new methods of diagnosis, and learn more (as long as we are not totally dogmatic). Science is never settled, but science well done persists.

It is high time we take another look at both sides of the medical coin and assess whether "First do no harm" is still being done, and whether the cures are worse than the diseases.

Explosive moment RFK Jr brutally attacks Bernie Sanders over his Big Pharma donors

Daily Mail
By ALEXA LARDIERI
30 January 2025

Robert F Kennedy Jr and Sen Bernie Sanders had an explosive clash over the senator's links to Big Pharma as Trump's health nominee came out swinging in the second day of his confirmation hearing.

The spat started when RFK Jr, who has been tapped to be head of the Health and Human Services (HHS), promised he would 'make America healthier than other countries in the world.'

Sen Sanders questioned how RFK Jr could do so without guaranteeing free healthcare to every American, which appeared to set the nominee off.

Referring to an earlier point in the hearing about corruption in the healthcare system, RFK Jr said: 'By the way Bernie, the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies — it's in Congress too.

'Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry and protecting their interests.'

Applause was heard from the gallery before Sen Sanders, his face visibly flushed, responded furiously with denials.

He said: 'I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions - they did not come from the executives, not one nickel of PAC [political action committee] money from the pharmaceutical [industry executives]. They came from workers.'

However, RFK Jr refuted, and said in his 2020 presidential election bid, Sen Sanders was 'the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money' and accepted $1.5million.

We used to love common sense.

@MidwesternDoc
Over the last few days the public has become aware @SenSanders took 1.5 million from Big Pharma and others like @SenWarren took over a million. This is incorrect. The Dems attacking RFK are actually getting 7 times what's being reported.

This is the complete chart which covers each type of payment they received (e.g., from health insurance, hospitals, medical devices, pharmaceutical manufacturing, physician lobbyists).

I apologize for not sharing it earlier; I went with the simplified chart because there was too much to read in this one and it hence could not go viral (whereas the last one was seen by over 30 million people).
