He is fully captured by the vaccine industry. He is a great big fraud. And he knows it.

"And he knows it."

They all KNOW they are lying and they are all terrified of any kind of public debate.

If I could ask him three questions, I'd ask him: Are the embalmers clots real? If they are, are they safe?

If the vaccines didn't cause these clots, what did?

Clearly, Senator Cassidy is a obstructionist to the goals of RFK Jr to transition the US sickcare system to a true healthcare system. His physician's license should be revoked on the grounds that he does not believe in the Hippocratic Oath. "Do No Harm". The fact that he controls the oversight board that monitors HHS speaks volumes of why he should be dismissed.

This is one of your best substacks ever - and you write phenomenal work, regularly.

My guess is - not one of your readers has the access or proximity to the psychopathic liar Bill Cassidy - as you do - in your immediate circle ( Dr McCullough, RFK Jr). Can I recommend you collaborate with other substackers who are truth tellers ( Stephen Bannon, Naomi Wolfe, Dr Michael Yeadon) to get this to Cassidy himself (Hint: HIS STAFFERS WILL NEVER SHARE THIS WITH HIM). And - he probably wouldn't read it after a few paragraphs - his ego could not handle it (narcissists are always in denial. And he's psychopathically power hungry as well)

Biggest Impact Play:

You and Peter could challenge Bill to a public debate.

Charge a nominal fee to broadcast the video on Rumble - and donate that money to a health charity. If he says NO - you reveal him even more.

If he says YES?

You crush him in public.

In my state, for about 14 months our state's largest news organization (al.com) hosted a weekly Covid podcast. The host routinely asked readers/viewers for suggestions for future episodes and segments.

I emailed this "journalist" at least three times telling him he and his news organization should host/produce at least one segment where people who were skeptical of the claims of the "experts" got to make their points - and identify all of the truisms that were false or dubious.

I volunteered to present these views of the skeptics and said I'd be happy to debate himself or any public health expert he could produce.

You know, he never responded to my suggestion. So much for "presenting both sides" or letting skeptics have a voice.

The Alabama Media Group, which runs AL.com and also owns The Birmingham News and other prominent Alabama newspapers, reported an estimated revenue of $32.9 million in 2024. Gee. I wonder if any of that income came from pharma...

Great info. I can use this in a story. The adph has spent $19 million on vaccine advertising? That’s my tax dollars. Big pharma and this public health agency are clearly the biggest ad producer for this “news” company.

Also, from Grok:

"From 2019 to 2024, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) spent over $18.6 million on vaccine advertising, with Advance Local Holdings Corp (the parent of Alabama Media Group) receiving just over $3 million, making it the largest recipient among various advertising agencies. This suggests that at least $3 million of Alabama Media Group's revenue over those five years came from vaccine-related ads alone, averaging about $600,000 annually from this specific source.

Nationally, pharmaceutical advertising is a significant revenue driver for media companies. In 2024, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spent around $10.8 billion on direct-to-consumer advertising, with $5.15 billion on linear TV alone, accounting for 11.6% of total ad dollars in that sector. Digital ad spending in the healthcare and pharma sector was also substantial, with estimates of $24.4 billion in 2024, growing toward $34.3 billion by 2033. Given AL.com’s position as Alabama’s largest news site, reaching 11 million monthly users, it’s reasonable to assume it captures a portion of this digital ad spend, particularly from pharma, which heavily targets direct-to-consumer markets in the U.S.

However, local media like AL.com likely relies on a mix of industries for ad revenue, including retail, automotive, and real estate, alongside pharma. Without precise breakdowns, we can hypothesize based on industry trends. If we assume pharma ads (including vaccines) follow national trends and constitute 10-15% of digital ad revenue for local media, and considering AL.com’s digital focus, a rough estimate might place pharma’s contribution to their 2024 revenue at around 10-20% of the $32.9 million. This translates to approximately $3.3 million to $6.6 million. The $600,000 from ADPH vaccine ads supports the lower end of this range, but additional private-sector pharma ads (e.g., from companies like Pfizer or Novartis) could push it higher.

This is a rough guess, as exact figures depend on AL.com’s ad contracts, audience targeting, and competition from other local advertisers. For a precise number, you’d need internal financial data from Alabama Media Group, which isn’t publicly available."

Wrong. I'd say that "90%" only THINK they want that bigger bubble. They've been brainwashed to think that way by PhRMA advertising $$$ spent on fake news media propaganda.

One of the greatest "triumphs" in history is the roll-out of a product that caused the greatest mass-death event in medical history.

With a background that includes being a years long registered Democrat, supporting Dukakis, Kathleen Blanco, and Mary Landrieu, it is no surprise that, despite being an educated man (for some value of educated, considering the medical field in which he was schooled), he would proclaim the merits and benefits of Warpspeed. From my years long acquaintance with his political positions, he has always seemed to be rigid and unyielding in his support of policies that imo, define him as much more of the left than the right. Deep state also. He is quite self-important, just ask him.

Senator Cassidy shows his total ignorance...opening his mouth to speak without knowing all the facts. I am not into Medicine...I am into Health. For 64 years i have been doing research and have come to the conclusion that ingesting or injecting toxic matter into the bloodstream will destroy the internal organs, glands and cells...not protect them. For 30 years I did nutritional consultations - 28 years Creator-guided nutritional consultations. I learned how biochemically unique every person was based on genetics...because of what their ancestors adapted to eating over thousands of generations...and also the state of their organs was most important.. The Standard American diet has deteriorated the internal organs. In addition, the vaccines have damaged every recipient harming both the body and the brain. In studying Health...the only healthy people in the world were those who didn't eat processed food; and didn't take drugs or vaccines.

Great article once again! Anyone who stopped practicing medicine 2 decades ago should not have a platform to decry anecdotal evidence that showed real harm in people who got the shot. Stating the science is settled is ridiculous! A scientist should know that. Every research project calls for next steps and replication.

I'll get slammed for my take on "Warp Speed."

I see it (and 45s actions) as a logistics challenge. He's NOT a MD. He was TOLD that respirators, masks and a vax were ESSENTIAL and would save lives, by some of the supposedly best MDs in the world. So he got it done. He also moved the two hospital ships into dense population areas, suggested alternative drugs, set up hospital tents in large cities, and had companies making needed supplies. All of this in record time. This is all LOGISTICS.

Note he NEVER ordered anyone to be forced to do or take anything. He also fought several times to reopen things after the initial shutdown. He was bullied by the "we know best" crowd... he thought they did know best and gave in. I seriously doubt he'd EVER do that again.

So, I suspect from a builders viewpoint it was a success. On hindsight most of us realize it wasn't a good thing for the drugs to be marketed (released) and forced on people. I also bet he k ows that all too well now. It's probably one of the reasons he put RFK in his position.

The ventilators were almost guaranteed death. Remdesivir earned its nickname "Run Death is Near." They kept loved ones from monitoring the treatment of their hospitalized loved ones. They dramatically cut back on the use of antibiotics and steroids. They went crazy prescribing powerful sedatives and pain killers. They put "Do Not Resusciate messages" on patients' medical charts. They got paid more money the more "Covid patients" they had, the more ventilators they used and the more remdesivir they prescribed.

They created mass panic, which made patients rush to the hospital and think they were getting ready to die when they weren't (This produced the Nocebo Effect, the opposite of the Placebo Effect).

Nurses and doctors were often afraid to be in the same room with "contagious" Covid patients.

They vaccinated tens of millions of pregnant women and healthy children, who have a 0.000-percent chance of dying from Covid. They are still vaccinating our children and expectant mothers.

They said the old must get the shots, when they are probably the last group that needs these shots.

And now they (and Trump) are pushing for more mRNA vaccines, still pushing the worthless and dangerous flu non-vaccine ... and think these mRNA injections are one day going to be the "cure for cancer" - which has exploded to unprecedented levels thanks to the first iteration of the mRNA medical "breakthrough."

They created a diagnostic test that made people panic when they had zero medical symptoms, not even the sniffles.

I don't have space to get into the lockdowns and the collateral damage those caused.

Besides all of the above, the Medical and Scientific Response was fantastic. Everyone deserves a big bonus, promotions and a Medal of Freedom.

What part of DOCTORS and SCIENTISTS (supposedly the best in their fields INSISTED that all those things were absolutely NECESSARY to save lives. What would you have done on that situation? Would you as a NON medical person have challenged what they said? Or, would you have tried to get them whatever they insisted was needed?

You don't seem to understand... he provided the LOGISTICS based on their knowledge and training.

I agree with what a CF it turned out to be. I read a lot and listened to several talks from other doctors, in Feb/March. I decided the whole thing was probably BS and rejected the vax, masks etc. I went on with my life and never got sick. With the media and medical hysteria had 45 NOT tried to do all he could (or had challenged them), they'd have gone after him for that even worse than the other (now known to be BS) things.

Thanks for this, John Leake. May the people come up with better candidates and get them voted into office. Unfortunately, for many reasons, financial and personal, elected public office seems to be a magnet for the very sort of people one would not want representing them. For those who are worthy of the dignity of that office, the experience is often brutal. Many wise, good, and competent people observe this and refuse to run for office as a result. Or they learn the hard way and don't run again.

Edited: I would add— therefore, if you are from that state and you are wise, good, and competent, and you have the fortitude of Job, well, go for it. Please.

I really respect and admire Sen. Johnson for all he's done on Covid topics. But even he hasn't said anything about the embalmers' clots. I was told that at a recent Vaccine hearing he held that one of the invited speakers was going to show someone holding a vial of the actual clots ... but that illustration was scrubbed.

For now, we've got 535 members of Congress and 535 haven't done anything to highlight the embalmers' clots. 535-out-of-535. That's 100 percent.

I think there are about 40,00 corporate mainstream journalists in America. Of those 40,000, 40,000 haven't written a story on this subject. 40,000-out-of-40,000. Again, 100 percent pack participation on this conspiracy to ignore this issue.

I don't know how many people work at the NIH and its sub-agencies - probably 30,000 people, including RFK, Jr. 100-percent compliance.

The first year he ran for Senate in LA he struck me as a used car salesman, except more arrogant. I couldn't vote Democrat, but I couldn't vote for him either. I had already learned how dangerous RINO's are by then. They're lovers of war and debt, and they don't act as a meaningful opposition to the Democratic Party in the first place. When he wanted to veto Trump, I wasn't the least bit surprised. He is a man whose arrogance has blinded him to reality in multiple ways. Sadly, he's one of many.

I know this will sound simplistic, and as always I will get rollback - as if I cared LOL - I'm WAY WAY WAY past on what people think about my worldview - totally could care less - if you don't "agree" with my worldview, I DON'T CARE. You speak your mind - I speak my mind. But my simplistic statement of the day is as follows: Stop taking vaccines and everything that John just wrote about becomes irrelevant. Oh I know what's coming "it's more complex than that" - ugh NO IT'S NOT. Quit taking bullshit vaccines and we can spend time writing about other stuff. I do NOT give a shit "how" the mrna hurts you, or how it causes this and causes that. Stop taking ALL vaccines and the vaccines can't harm you. Duhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! YES the solution really is that simple. STOP TAKING VACCINES. If you take vaccines, BAD stuff will happen to you. Also if humanity quits taking vaccines, then these evil companies go out of business.
