YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn a viral confession, Katy Talento — President Trump's former health advisor — revealed her role in keeping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. away from the White House, saying it was her job to "make this problem go away."
"I was a Harvard-trained infectious disease epidemiologist. I believed, religiously, that vaccines were the gold standard of public health interventions," writes Talento. "Not because I had been shown the evidence for their effectiveness and safety in public health school... but because I had been trained in the orthodoxy of public health, where it was assumed that someone had studied this and it had been demonstrated at some point - so now we could all focus on more pressing matters, like how to get vaccines in more kids’ arms around the world."
But slowly, she began to feel suspicious – and her research led her to switch sides.
"[S]omething happened in late summer of 2021 - a set of legal contortions between Big Pharma and the FDA that started to make everything painfully clear," she wrote, in a public apology to RFK for her part in keeping him away from the White House.
