Alternative Well-Being: your February issue

Dear friends,

If you follow world news, you're probably aware that among the new tenants of the White House in the United States will be a notorious vaccine skeptic, lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the famous nephew of the assassinated president. The founder of the Children's Health Defense organization and a champion of COVID-19 resistance, Kennedy, if confirmed, will now serve as Secretary of Health.

This highway dissident who worries our mainstream media is rolling out a strange plan: he wants studies without conflicts of interest to evaluate the benefit-risk balance of vaccine injections according to scientific methods as demanding as those which govern the marketing authorizations of other drugs!

No carte blanche for vaccines! They will have to have proven their safety and efficacy to be marketed. In fact, they will no longer even be mandatory across the Atlantic. All this with the goal of restoring health to Americans. He will have a lot to do.

Upon taking office, RF Kennedy Jr. denounced the "culprits," according to him, of the deterioration in the health of his contemporaries, and children in particular. The "culprits" he speaks of are not individuals, but elements of everyday American life that are also omnipresent in our country. Among them, endocrine disruptors. By chance, in our editorial program, they are a central element of this February 2025 issue of Alternative Well-Being.

Even though we know that Kennedy will encounter a lot of resistance in his plan to end the systemic corruption that reigns in the public health sector, let's not spoil our fun. This may be the first time that a political speech has gone in the same direction as us!
