#Trump to invoke #wartime #Alien #Enemies Act of 1798 to carry out #deportations to #Guantanamo

source: cbsnews.com/news/trump-alien-e…

Those subject to the Alien Enemies Act would not be allowed to have a court hearing or an #asylum interview since they would be processed under an emergency, wartime authority — not immigration law. Instead, they would be eligible to be detained and deported, with little to no due process, under Title 50, the section of the U.S. code housing America's war and defense #laws.

Except for medical emergencies, the law effectively makes abortions illegal in the state after about five to six weeks’ gestation.

#Kennedy’s Lawyer Has Asked the F.D.A. to Revoke Approval of the #Polio #Vaccine

Does anyone remember the #movie #Idiocracy? themoviedb.org/movie/7512-idio…

In the movie, a #society is on the verge of collapse because it has regressed mentally and can no longer understand #technology, not to mention use it sensibly. Parallels to current #world events are recognizable. They want to protect unborn children but apparently not the born ones.

RFK Jr.’s Lawyer Has Asked the FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval

Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

^{Christina Jewett (The New York Times)}

Two #ethics experts who reviewed the agreement said his stake in the lawsuits appeared to be highly problematic, as the #FDA, which approves #drugs & #vaccines, would fall within #RFKJr’s purview as #health secretary. The experts said any action Kennedy took related to Merck, one of the world’s largest drugmakers, could appear to be motivated by his financial interest in a handsome settlement.

#law #USpol #PublicHealth

…Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, said #RFKJr’s finances showed “outrageous conflicts of interest that endanger #PublicHealth.”

“This disclosure shows that RFK Jr. made millions off of peddling dangerous #AntiVaccine #conspiracies,” she said in a statement. “Even worse, if he is confirmed, his finances will still be tied to the outcomes of anti-#vaccine lawsuits — even as he’d be tasked with regulating them as #health secretary.”

#law #USpol

The arrangement w/Wisner Baum, which also includes other matters, has earned #RFKJr, one of the nation’s fiercest #vaccine critics, >$2.5M in the past 2 years, acc/to records filed w/federal election ofcls for his presidential run & the agreement, approved by the Office of Govt #Ethics as part of the confirmation process. That sum is far higher than about $200,000, the latest salary figure for the #Health & Human Services secretary….

#law #USpol #PublicHealth

The #ethics doc said #RFKJr would continue to collect fees for cases in which he referred clients to Wisner Baum, a law firm suing Merck over Gardasil, a #vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus, or #HPV. The vaccine is administered to adolescents to prevent cervical & other #cancers later in life.

#law #USpol #PublicHealth

From the NYT report:

#RFKJr, #Trump’s pick to be #health secretary, is keeping his financial stake in major litigation against Merck over a widely used #vaccine given to young people, according to an #ethics agreement made public on Wednesday & court docs. That #ConflictOfInterest could raise questions for lawmakers as RFK Jr aims to run agencies that regulate the drugmaker.

“while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, #lie, & #cheat his way through life,” #Kennedy said of #RFKJr.

#CarolineKennedy has been reticent to publicly comment on her cousin’s politics, & told senators Tuesday that she only reluctantly is speaking up now.

“I have never wanted to speak publicly about my family members & their challenges,” she wrote.

#USpol #plutocracy #CultOfPersonality #PublicHealth #NationalSecurity #Trump #law #healthcare #vaccines #medicine #science #ConspiracyTheories

“I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” wrote #Kennedy. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a #predator.”

#CarolineKennedy goes on to say in her letter that through “the strength of his personality,” other family members followed #RFKJr “down the path of drug #addiction.”

In a copy of a letter…sent to lawmakers ahead of #RFKJr’s confirmation hearings to lead the Dept of #Health & #Human Services, the fmr ambassador to Australia alleges that her cousin, “addicted to #attention & #power,” has given #hypocritical advice by discouraging parents from vaccinating their children while vaccinating his own children. She alleged that his “crusade against #vaccination” has also served to enrich him.
