Kennedy said many of these schemes are operating out of countries like Cuba or Russia.</p><p>He then pointed to another staggering example: Los Angeles has more hospice providers than the entire rest of the country <strong>COMBINED</strong>.</p><p>How is that possible?

But the crime companies would then &#8220;<strong>collect all the money</strong>.&#8221;</p><p>The scheme, he said, grew to a massive scale.</p><p>In Minneapolis, Kennedy said he expected the autism program to cost about $3 million a year.</p><p>Instead, over a three-year period, it exploded to<strong> $400 million annually</strong>.</p><p>It was almost &#8220;all fraudulent,&#8221; Kennedy said.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;da73d324-b97c-4f08-8e9c-db820cc424f1&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Kennedy added that this fraud accelerated under the Biden administration, where he says officials ended the program integrity office and told staff, &#8220;<strong>We don&#8217;t want to do program integrity anymore</strong>.

I am of sound mind as I write this, January 1st, 2026. If you wonder about any of my choices for my estate, or anything else, please know I am free of any coercion or inappropriate influence of any sort. I promise.</p><p>Next, many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go. I&#8217;m not a believer, but I have to admit the risk-reward calculation for doing so looks attractive. So, here I go:</p><p>I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won&#8217;t need any more convincing than that. And I hope I am still qualified for entry.</p><p>With your permission, I&#8217;d like to explain something about my life.</p><div><hr></div><p>For the first part of my life, I was focused on making myself a worthy husband and parent, as a way to find meaning. That worked. But marriages don&#8217;t always last forever, and mine eventually ended, in a highly amicable way. I&#8217;m grateful for those years and for the people I came to call my family.</p><p>Once the marriage unwound, I needed a new focus. A new meaning. And so I donated myself to &#8220;the world,&#8221; literally speaking the words out loud in my otherwise silent home. From that point on, I looked for ways I could add the most to people&#8217;s lives, one way or another.</p><p>That marked the start of my evolution from Dilbert cartoonist to an author of &#8211; what I hoped would be &#8211; useful books. By then, I believed I had amassed enough life lessons that I could start passing them on. I continued making Dilbert comics, of course.</p><p>As luck would have it, I&#8217;m a good writer. My first book in the &#8220;useful&#8221; genre was <em>How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big</em>. That book turned out to be a huge success, often imitated, and influencing a wide variety of people. I still hear every day how much that book changed lives. My plan to be useful was working.</p><div><hr></div><p>I followed up with my book <em>Win Bigly</em>, that trained an army of citizens how to be more persuasive, which they correctly saw as a minor super power. I know that book changed lives because I hear it often.</p><p>You&#8217;ll probably never know the impact the book had on the world, but I know, and it pleases me while giving me a sense of meaning that is impossible to describe.</p><p>My next book, <em>Loserthink</em>, tried to teach people how to think better, especially if they were displaying their thinking on social media. That one didn&#8217;t put much of a dent in the universe, but I tried.</p><p>Finally, my book <em>Reframe Your Brain</em> taught readers how to program their own thoughts to make their personal and professional lives better. I was surprised and delighted at how much positive impact that book is having.</p><p>I also started podcasting a live show called <em>Coffee With Scott Adams</em>, dedicated to helping people think about the world, and their lives, in a more productive way. I didn&#8217;t plan it this way, but it ended up helping lots of lonely people find a community that made them feel less lonely. Again, that had great meaning for me.</p><div><hr></div><p>I had an amazing life. I gave it everything I had. If you got any benefits from my work, I&#8217;m asking you to pay it forward as best you can. That is the legacy I want.</p><p><strong>Be useful.</strong></p><p>And please know I loved you all to the end.</p><p>Scott Adams</p></blockquote><p class="button-wrapper"

I see the whole administration speaking out in unison about how great the &#8220;most powerful woman in the world&#8221; is. How much of that is self-preservation? Anyone near the administration knows how Wiles does business, and it isn&#8217;t gentle.<br><br>I broke much of the info on Wiles being a managing partner at a lobbying firm that represented Pfizer, Alibaba, Gilead, and many other nefarious places. I said at the time I wished I was wrong and still do, but the facts are the facts, and Wiles wouldn&#8217;t even chat about them. You don&#8217;t hide things unless you have things to hide, and her loyalty to the Bush world is 180 degrees out of line with MAGA.<br><br>You can&#8217;t serve two masters, and it looks like many in the administration are starting to see which master controls&#8212;and it doesn&#8217;t look like it&#8217;s MAGA.

CDC&#8217;s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, just voted <strong>8&#8211;3</strong> to end the universal Hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation and move instead to shared decision-making for infants born to hepatitis-B&#8211;negative mothers.</p><p>For the first time since 1991, <strong>parents</strong> (not a blanket federal recommendation) will decide whether their newborn receives this shot in the first hours or days of life.</p><p><strong>Voting YES</strong> to end the universal mandate: Retsef Levi and seven other members.</p><p><strong>Voting NO:</strong> Dr. H. Cody Meissner, Dr. Joseph R. Hibbeln, and Dr. Raymond Pollak. Two of the three issued grave warnings, insisting the decision to end the universal hepatitis B recommendation will &#8220;cause harm&#8221; and that the panel will have to &#8220;accept this responsibility when this harm is caused.&#8221;</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;96656896-38ce-4ef3-9a2a-2cf8b5104d26&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>The decision to end the universal hepatitis B vaccination recommendation is a huge deal because the three-shot series is required for public school attendance in nearly every state, and most states base their mandates directly on ACIP recommendations. <strong>Today&#8217;s decision instantly places the decades-old school requirement on unstable ground.</strong></p><p>The debate leading up to the vote centered around a single primary question: why is every newborn vaccinated against a virus primarily transmitted through sexual contact, needle sharing, or from an infected mother during birth?</p><p>Every pregnant woman in the United States is screened for hepatitis B. Only <strong>0.5%</strong> of births involve a mother who tests positive. Newborns do not engage in behaviors that spread the virus. And yet, for 34 years, every child in America has been expected to receive a Hepatitis B shot on the first day of life.</p><p>During yesterday&#8217;s meeting, CDC contractor <strong><a href="https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/cdc-contractor-exposes-what-really">Dr. Cynthia Nevison</a></strong> presented evidence that the universal birth-dose never meaningfully altered population-level Hepatitis B trends. Acute Hepatitis B cases were already plummeting years before the vaccine recommendation took effect in 1991.</p><p>As she showed, the sharp decline in cases during the 1980s and early 1990s was overwhelmingly due to other factors: improved blood screening, widespread adoption of safe-sex practices during the AIDS crisis, needle-exchange programs, and targeted (not universal) vaccination of infants actually at risk.</p><p>Her conclusion was blunt: &#8220;<strong>universal birth dose contribution to acute [Hepatitis B] case decline is likely very small.</strong>&#8221;</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;d04cc02a-e3c3-4460-aa94-201501db85e8&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>For decades, parents have questioned why a vaccine for a bloodborne, sexually transmitted virus is pushed on healthy newborns within hours of birth. Today&#8217;s vote shows those concerns are no longer being dismissed.</p><p>This vote does not end the Hepatitis B vaccine. It restores parental choice. And after three decades of unquestioned policy, that alone is historic.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/long-awaited-vaccine-reversal-finally/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/long-awaited-vaccine-reversal-finally/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>Thanks for reading.

If ACIP votes to end the universal birth-dose recommendation and limit it only to infants born to mothers who test positive for hepatitis B, that long-standing school mandate <strong>could be displaced to uncertain ground</strong>,<em> </em>since most states base their school requirements on ACIP recommendations.</p><p>Hepatitis B is a viral infection primarily transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, most commonly through sexual contact, needle sharing, or exposure during birth. Mothers are routinely tested during pregnancy to determine whether they are hepatitis B positive and at risk of transmitting the virus to their baby. And with only about <strong>0.5% of births involving a mother who tests positive</strong>, it continues to raise questions about why the vaccine is recommended for every child on the first day of life.</p><p>Also, because newborns don&#8217;t engage in sexual activity or needle sharing, the universal vaccination recommendation has puzzled many parents for decades, who wonder why a sexually transmitted or bloodborne illness requires immunization at birth.</p><p>Many questions about the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine have been raised by figures such as Robert Kennedy Jr., Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Dr. Casey Means, and countless concerned parents.</p><p>But one CDC contractor, <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/cynthia-nevison">Dr. Cynthia Nevison</a>, walked into the ACIP meeting and raised another critical question: has universal Hepatitis B vaccination, after 34 long years, even lowered Hepatitis B cases on a population level? Dr. Nevison&#8217;s answer to that question might surprise you.</p><p>And if not the vaccine, why did Hepatitis B cases plummet after 1991? Dr. Nevison addressed that question, too.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;48624e04-a91b-4e5a-bda1-946beaa012a3&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.vigilantfox.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.vigilantfox.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>The first slide Dr. Nevison presented showed acute Hepatitis B cases over time.

very small.</strong>&#8221;</p><p>Instead of vaccination, Dr. Nevison gave credit to other factors for the sharp decline in acute Hepatitis B:</p><p>&#8226; &#8220;There was better blood screening for the hepatitis B surface antigen, which led to sharp declines in hepatitis B transmitted through transfusion and also through dialysis.&#8221;</p><p>&#8226; &#8220;And then this was the 1980s, with concern about AIDS.

question the legitimacy of hepatitis B shots for newborns on the first day of life.</p><p>As we noted, only <strong>0.5%</strong> of infants are actually at risk of contracting hepatitis B from the mother, and <strong>88%</strong> of mothers are screened. Increasing screening compliance rather than universal vaccination makes far more sense because once you rule out mother-to-baby transmission, the likelihood of a child contracting hepatitis B through sexual contact or needle exposure is <strong>virtually zero</strong>.</p><p>And when you consider that there has never been a true placebo-controlled trial comparing long-term outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children for this shot (or any childhood vaccine, for that matter), it becomes difficult to justify why this vaccination is given universally.</p><p>With the leaked FDA memo where Dr. Vinay Prasad wrote that <a href="https://brownstone.org/articles/the-fda-memo-that-shakes-the-world/">at least 10 children died from the COVID shots</a>, perhaps voting members will come to their senses and recognize that overconfidence in vaccines can have deadly consequences, and that this universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation makes no sense.

John Fetterman took issue with that on NewsNation, spelling out what &#8220;leverage&#8221; really means. And he even confronted the &#8220;democratic socialists&#8221; looking to take over his party.</p><p><strong>Cuomo asked Fetterman: </strong>&#8220;What do you make of the argument that this was your only leverage, and without this, you&#8217;re at the mercy of the Republicans, and they don&#8217;t want to cut costs?&#8221;</p><p>Fetterman&#8217;s response exposed the real cost of using a government shutdown as &#8220;leverage.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;No. I refuse to use American citizens, [make] food insecure, not pay our military &#8212; <strong>they are NOT my leverage</strong>,&#8221; he responded firmly.</p><p>&#8220;<strong>Those are fellow citizens. Those are the ones that I defend; those ones that I fight for. </strong>Some of them are the most vulnerable ones. I refuse to put them in the middle.

And part of those ideas pushed our party over the cliff. And that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re in this situation right now. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re firmly in the minority, and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve lost control of the White House.&#8221;</p><p>Fetterman kept going, drawing a clear line between what wins and what loses.</p><p>&#8220;If you think [socialism] is a solution, that&#8217;s fine, but it&#8217;s going to be a competition of ideas, and <strong>we know that&#8217;s not going to prevail</strong>,&#8221; Fetterman said.</p><p>&#8220;What&#8217;s going to prevail is common sense. What&#8217;s going to prevail is choosing this country over the extreme in our party. What&#8217;s going to prevail is common sense,&#8221; he stressed.</p><p>&#8220;And I do believe&#8230; we should respond [to Trump] with order and logic and patriotism and not shutting down our government right now,&#8221; Fetterman argued.</p><p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m at.

do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism and how we use social media in ways that reaffirm facts and separate facts from opinion. We want diversity of opinion. <strong>We don&#8217;t want diversity of facts</strong>. That, I think, is one of the big tasks of social media. By the way, <strong>it will require some government regulatory constraints&#8230;</strong>&#8221; Obama said.</p><p>He added that this should be done in a way &#8220;that&#8217;s consistent&#8221; with the First Amendment, while paradoxically arguing that platforms should crack down on speech &#8220;in the sense of inciting violence,&#8221; something already not protected under the First Amendment.</p><p>&#8220;There is a difference between letting all voices be heard versus a business model that elevates<strong> the most hateful voices or the most polarizing voices</strong> or the most dangerous, in the sense of inciting violence, voices,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That I think is going to be a big challenge for all of us to undertake.&#8221;</p><p>Cyber expert and former Trump official Mike Benz reacted to Obama&#8217;s remarks, <strong><a href="https://x.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1983419244151968009">saying</a></strong>: &#8220;F*ck this guy. His whole apparatus is set up to end the First Amendment. <strong>He&#8217;s coordinating with foreign governments to end free speech in America</strong>.

And at 81 years old, that&#8217;s not entirely unexpected. You can imagine why people got so worried.&#8221;</p><p><strong>KJP: </strong>&#8220;No one is saying that he didn&#8217;t age. I&#8217;m talking about did he have&#8230; the mental acuity, was he able to govern? And the man that I saw nearly every day was someone who was engaging, understood policy, and was always putting the American people first.&#8221;</p><p><strong>COLBERT:</strong> &#8220;I don&#8217;t think anybody questioned his heart or his policies. But it takes more than that to be the President of the United States. And in a moment of great pressure on stage, we saw someone shock us and worry us, and nothing could assuage that worry. So I don&#8217;t think it was necessarily a betrayal of Joe Biden as other people saying, &#8216;We don&#8217;t think we were shown the Joe Biden that you saw.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p><strong>KJP:</strong> &#8220;I saw every day a really ugly assault on someone who had 50-plus years of experience and who, again, objectively had done a good job as President of the United States. And it was heartbreaking to see that type of behavior.&#8221;</p><p><strong>COLBERT:</strong> &#8220;What happened was the debate performance. Everything is downstream of that.&#8221;</p><p><strong>KJP:</strong> &#8220;And no one is saying that the debate performance wasn&#8217;t shocking, wasn&#8217;t a disappointment. No one is saying that.&#8221;</p><p><strong>COLBERT:</strong> &#8220;Disappointment is such a light term.&#8221;</p><p><strong>KJP:</strong> &#8220;I use your words.&#8221;</p><p><strong>COLBERT:</strong> &#8220;It was harrowing <em><strong>(sarcasm)</strong></em>. Look, listen, we&#8217;re never going to agree on this.&#8221;</p><p><strong>KJP: </strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re not.&#8221;</p><p><strong>COLBERT: </strong>&#8220;Other than the fact that I&#8217;m glad that you came here tonight, and I&#8217;m telling you to wrap over there.

Just over a month ago, the world watched in horror as <strong><a href="https://www.tpusa.com">Charlie Kirk</a></strong> was brutally murdered in broad daylight. Just a year earlier, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had two assassination attempts on his life.</p><p>And so, as rising political tensions increasingly spill into violence, Fetterman did something few in Washington have even attempted &#8212; <strong>he tried to turn the temperature down</strong>.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.vigilantfox.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.vigilantfox.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Fetterman shared how he grew up in a family of Republican voters, giving him a unique perspective that prompted this much-needed message: &#8220;I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. <strong>They are NOT fascists, they&#8217;re NOT Nazis, they&#8217;re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution.</strong>&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;<strong>I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody &#8212; anybody to Hitler,</strong>&#8221; Fetterman continued.</p><p>He then offered a plea for empathy over partisanship: &#8220;Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is <strong>let people grieve</strong> &#8212; give people the space. I&#8217;m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like, my God, he&#8217;s a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet. And now people have forgotten: President Trump was in my state &#8212; <strong>was shot in the head</strong>. Could you imagine where our nation would be if he were<strong> hit in the same way as Kirk?</strong> We really got to turn the temperature down,&#8221; Fetterman pleaded.</p><p>To close out his message, Fetterman reflected on how the parties are so divided that they can&#8217;t even agree to keep the government open, saying he &#8220;<strong>just can&#8217;t take it.</strong>&#8221;</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;d3a1a5b1-d00f-47dc-931d-785382a94d01&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Popular X account <strong><a href="https://x.com/mazemoore">@mazemoore</a></strong> responded to Fetterman&#8217;s words, saying, &#8220;Good for him.

The film focused on a study so damning that it&#8217;s been buried for five years because the lead author feared it would destroy his career.</p><p>That fear was caught on hidden camera, as Dr. Marcus Zervos, the study&#8217;s lead author, openly confessed why he refused to publish the results, saying, &#8220;<strong>Publishing something like that, I might as well retire.

It stated: &#8220;[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an <strong>overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a

safety.</p><p>One striking example came from Dr. Peter Aaby. Once a vaccine believer, Dr. Aaby became a skeptic after discovering that the DTP vaccine he helped promote for African children led to <strong>2.3 times higher mortality</strong> among the vaccinated.</p><p>Decades after launching the DTP program in Guinea-Bissau, Dr. Aaby realized only half the children there had received the shot &#8212; giving him a perfect comparative study between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.</p><p>The DTP vaccine did protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, but there was also more than a twofold <strong>increase in overall mortality</strong>. The results stunned Aaby, who now speaks openly about what he discovered.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important to recognize that no routine vaccine was tested for overall effect on mortality in randomized trials before being introduced.

Months later, the study was retracted.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;0afd3d14-02d5-469a-8b39-045f6f8a84c2&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>This set the stage for the recurring problem behind the vax vs. unvax dilemma: these studies weren&#8217;t rejected for weak data &#8212; they were rejected because the data was unwelcome. Time and again, the findings were dismissed simply because they didn&#8217;t come from top-tier institutions or appear in major medical journals.</p><p>That reality led Bigtree to recruit Dr. Marcus Zervos to run such a study. Dr. Zervos was one of the leading infectious disease doctors in the country, and Henry Ford Health was a respected medical center with one of the nation&#8217;s largest patient databases.</p><p>Bigtree saw Dr. Zervos as the perfect candidate to conduct a large-scale vax vs. unvax study that could track children over time. He told Dr. Zervos this was his opportunity to prove the anti-vaxxers wrong &#8212; an angle that convinced him to take on the study.</p><p>Dr. Zervos agreed, and the study was completed in 2020. As Bigtree anticipated, the results were devastating for the vaccinated &#8212; but there was one major problem: Dr. Zervos chose not to publish the study.</p><p>In 2022, Bigtree convinced Dr. Zervos to sit down and explain why. Knowing the importance of the moment, he recorded the conversation on hidden camera.</p><p>There, Dr. Zervos openly admitted on tape why he chose not to publish the data. He said bluntly, &#8220;<strong>Publishing something like that, I might as well retire. I&#8217;d be finished</strong>.&#8221;</p><p>Here&#8217;s what the study revealed:</p><p>&#8226; Vaccinated children were <strong>4.29 times more likely</strong> to have asthma.</p><p>&#8226; <strong>Three times higher risk</strong> for atopic diseases (like eczema).</p><p>&#8226; <strong>Nearly six times higher risk</strong> for autoimmune disorders &#8212; a category that includes over 80 different diseases.</p><p>&#8226; <strong>5.5 times higher risk</strong> for neurodevelopmental disorders.</p><p>&#8226; <strong>2.9 times more motor disabilities.</strong></p><p>&#8226; <strong>4.5 times more speech disorders.</strong></p><p>&#8226; <strong>Three times more developmental delays.</strong></p><p>&#8226; <strong>Six times more acute and chronic ear infections.</strong></p><p>&#8226; In nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were <strong>zero cases</strong> of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders.</p><p>&#8226; The study&#8217;s conclusion is devastating. It states: &#8220;[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with <strong>an overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination</strong>.&#8221;</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder"

showing 54% of American children have at least one chronic condition.</p><p>Vaccinated kids: <strong>57% chance</strong> of developing a chronic disease in the first 10 years of
