CDC Tries to Tuskegee Again and Gets the Bissau Knocked Out of It

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last June fired every member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and restacked it with anti-vaccine allies. In December, his ACIP voted 8-3 to gut a 34-year-old recommendation that all American newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth — a policy that had reduced pediatric infections by 99% and prevented an estimated 90,100 childhood deaths.

The cruelty, it burns.

During deliberations, ACIP members dismissed hepatitis B victims as “largely a disease of sex workers, drug users, and immigrants.”

Two days after the CDC adopted their recommendation, the Federal Register announced a $1.6 million unsolicited, non-competitive grant to run a trial of that same vaccine on 14,000 newborns in Guinea-Bissau.

Not in Denmark, where the lead researchers live. No, that’s where the rich white kids live.

Not in the United States, where the policy was just changed. No, rich white kids there too.

In Guinea-Bissau because it has a poverty rate 60%, hepatitis B prevalence 19%, and most importantly believed to have no leverage to refuse. This study could never pass an institutional review board in America. Everyone involved knows that.

The entire point was to do it somewhere the subjects can’t fight back, then use the results to demolish vaccine policy everywhere else.

They are literally trying to cook a precedent by denying vaccines to infants, based on their race.

Mengele much?

Who Gets Experimented On

The architecture is not new. Between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service knowingly withheld antibiotics from hundreds of Black men with syphilis in Tuskegee, Alabama — not to learn something unknown, but to watch what a known disease does when you let it run. Paul Offit called the Guinea-Bissau trial “RFK Jr.’s Tuskegee Experiment.” An active CDC employee who leaked the study protocol to Inside Medicine used the same comparison.

The parallel is obvious: a U.S. government agency deliberately withholding a proven intervention from a population selected for its poverty and powerlessness, to study outcomes that are already known.

Ninety percent of babies exposed to hepatitis B at birth develop chronic infection. A quarter of those children will die of liver cancer or liver failure. The hepatitis B vaccine, given within 24 hours of delivery, prevents this. That is not a hypothesis. It is settled medicine backed by four decades of data and over 1.4 billion administered doses. The WHO recommends universal birth dosing. Guinea-Bissau was planning to implement it in 2027.

The infamously immoral Bandim researchers — Christine Stabell Benn and Peter Aaby, based at the University of Southern Denmark — called that gap between current practice and planned policy a “window of opportunity.” Their study randomizes half the babies to get the vaccine. The other half don’t. In a country where one in five people is a carrier. Without screening pregnant mothers. The WHO condemned it:

Exploiting scarcity is not ethical.

White European researchers, funded by the American government, experimenting on Black African newborns with a vaccine they would never withhold from white children at home. That is the “study”.

Like taking candy from a baby.

Rigged by Design

The trial measures mortality at 42 days and tracks “non-specific effects” — skin rashes, neurodevelopmental issues — for up to five years. But hepatitis B kills through cirrhosis and liver cancer, which take decades to develop. As Jeremy Faust noted, it’s like running a chemotherapy trial and checking if the patient is alive a week later. The study cannot detect the vaccine’s benefits. It can only detect short-term adverse events. That is the point.

The single-blind design means researchers know which babies were vaccinated — what the WHO called “a significant likelihood of substantial risk of bias.” None of the vaccines are FDA-approved. The results won’t apply to American children. Kennedy’s CDC is paying $1.6 million for a study designed to produce one specific result: no measurable benefit from the birth dose. That result will then be cited to justify the domestic policy change that was already made two days before the study was funded.

Policy first. Manufactured evidence to follow, so even more children can be harmed.

The Machine

Kennedy cited Bandim’s 2017 study — claiming the DTP vaccine killed girls in Guinea-Bissau — to slash over a billion dollars in global vaccine funding. Bandim later failed to replicate those findings. A November 2025 analysis in Vaccine found that Bandim authored roughly 35% of all published clinical research on vaccine “non-specific effects.” Stabell Benn advised the new ACIP and collaborated with Tracy Beth Hoeg, a senior FDA official who previously worked at the University of Southern Denmark. The ACIP cited Bandim research in its September 2025 presentations, then voted to gut the birth dose, then the CDC funded Bandim to produce the next round of evidence.

The CDC is paying the people who generate the data Kennedy uses to dismantle vaccine policy to generate more data Kennedy can use to dismantle vaccine policy. Using African babies as the raw material.

Offit’s suggestion was simple: take the $1.6 million and vaccinate as many newborns as you can. CIDRAP reported that amount could fund Guinea-Bissau’s birth dose for over a decade. Instead, the money buys a study whose lead researchers have documented credibility problems, awarded without competition, in a country that just had a coup, with an ethics approval that Guinea-Bissau’s own health minister says may never have actually occurred.

Guinea-Bissau suspended the study in January. Because they see what Trump is, especially in context of a coup. The WHO condemned it in February. Because they see what Trump is. Three members of Congress called it “abhorrent.” Because they see what Trump is. HHS responded in a deranged rant calling the Africa CDC a “powerless, fake organization” and insisting the trial would proceed as planned no matter what anyone says.

The Bandim team’s official response drips with unaccountable privilege:

We welcome continued discussion.

The guy with his hand in the cookie jar says keep talking while he keeps taking.

The technology changes. The architecture doesn’t. Tuskegee proved that federal science can be turned against the people it claims to serve when those running it decide certain populations are expendable. The CDC was built to prevent disease. Under Kennedy, it is manufacturing pretexts to let disease run — and choosing whose children pay the price.

Trump Attacks Belgian Jews: Labels Them Antisemitic in Attempt to Extract Loyalty

Trump’s ambassadors are antisemitic, just like Trump. And they will accuse others of it to force obedience.

The Economist/The New Yorker weren’t wrong

Three US ambassadors in Europe — Belgium, France, Poland — have been summoned or rebuked by their host governments in recent weeks. The pattern is identical in each case: deploy accusations of antisemitism or personal insults to bully sovereign nations into compliance with Trump’s pathology.

The Jewish community is being used as a prop by Trump. The diplomacy is a protection racket for antisemites.

Start with Belgium, because Belgium exposes the racket.

Ambassador Bill White demanded in ALL-CAPS on the Swastika platform X:

DROP THE RIDICULOUS AND ANTI SEMITIC ‘PROSECUTION’ NOW OF THE 3 JEWISH RELIGIOUS FIGURES (MOHELS) IN ANTWERP!

He lobbed a prototypical white nationalist phrase at Belgium’s health minister calling him “very rude,” and claimed the minister refused to shake his hand. Accusations of “rudeness” alongside “uppity,” “insolent,” “impudent” are all well-known signals for American white supremacists. Emmett Till was murdered over an accusation that he was “fresh” to a white woman. The entire architecture of Jim Crow enforcement rested on the premise that insufficient deference from a subordinate was an offense requiring punishment.

Then he invoked American soldiers who died liberating Belgium in two world wars. He tagged Trump, Vance, Rubio, and the State Department for a performative clown show.

And here’s why he is completely wrong.

Belgian police investigated three mohels for performing circumcisions without medical licenses. Belgian law permits ritual circumcision when performed by a qualified physician under health and safety standards.

But wait, it’s even more clear than that.

The investigation was triggered by a complaint filed by a rabbi within the Jewish community itself, concerned about mohels practicing metzitzah b’peh — oral suction on circumcision wounds — which has infected infants with herpes in New York and elsewhere.

A Jewish religious leader asked Belgian authorities to protect Jewish babies from an unsafe practice.

Read that again. The investigation was initiated by the Jewish community to protect their own, by their own rules.

Belgium investigated. And America’s ambassador, driven by a White House claiming to be 40% Nazis, jumped in to falsely allege antisemitism.

That’s not defending Jews. That’s Trump performing ritual abuse of Jews.

Trump’s Antisemitic Franchise

In France, Charles Kushner — a convicted felon pardoned by Trump, father of Trump’s son-in-law — published an open letter in the Wall Street Journal accusing Macron of failing to confront antisemitism. France summoned him. Macron called it:

Unacceptable statement for somebody who is supposed to be a diplomat.

That’s because Kushner doesn’t care about antisemitism. He’s a Jew being used by Trump to protest France’s plan to recognize Palestinian statehood. Yeah, 147 UN member states already recognize it. “Anti-Zionism is antisemitism — plain and simple,” Kushner wrote, collapsing all criticism of Israeli government policy into bigotry against Jews.

Idiocracy.

The Trumipan framing means Belgium can’t enforce medical licensing, France can’t recognize a state, and any sovereign decision that inconveniences the indicted Netanyahu becomes hatred of Jews.

When Macron pointed out that disagreeing with Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t make him antisemitic, he was stating what should be obvious. Kushner was being used. The dictator loyalty test was dressed as moral concern.

In Poland, Ambassador Tom Rose cut ties with the speaker of parliament because the man said Trump doesn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. No antisemitism accusation so far, just raw enforcement of the rule that no one may disrespect Trump. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded: “Allies should respect, not lecture, each other.” Rose replied that he will “always defend my President without hesitation, exception or apology.”

That sentence unlocks the whole pathological operation of Trump derangement. Not “defend American interests.” Not “advance the president’s agenda.” Defend Trump.

Thin Skinned White House

Former Ambassador Daniel Fried, who served in Poland under Clinton and later as assistant secretary of state under George W. Bush, identified the mechanism precisely. These ambassadors, he said, “are responding to what they think is expected of them” from a “very thin-skinned White House.” They fear that insufficient aggression will get them attacked by someone in Trump-world.

So the ambassadors perform Trumpistan rituals. They don’t know diplomacy only Trump loyalty.

The antisemitism charge is premium ammunition because it carries moral weight that other accusations don’t, especially from a White House claiming to be 40% Nazis. Nobody wants to be called antisemitic, especially the antisemite. That’s exactly what makes the weaponization so effective and so corrosive.

Fried contrasted this with how George W. Bush handled Spain’s José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who campaigned against the Iraq War by calling Bush’s ally Aznar a puppet. After Zapatero won, Bush called to congratulate him and said he understood it was a campaign, and that they still had work to do together. Zapatero was stunned.

He reaches out to me after all I said?

Bush “had his eye on bigger prizes,” Fried said. Trump’s ambassadors have their eyes on Trump’s feed.

Trump’s Antisemitic Records

If Trump cared about antisemitism, the record would show it. His record shows the exact opposite.

In November 2022, Trump hosted Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago for dinner. Fuentes is a white supremacist identified as such by the Department of Justice, a Holocaust denier who has called Hitler “awesome” and “right.” Trump said the dinner was “quick and uneventful.” He was reportedly “impressed” by Fuentes. He never condemned Fuentes’s views, not once — despite personally attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene as a traitor, mocking Thomas Massie’s second marriage after his first wife died, and demanding Seth Meyers be fired, all in a single week. He can name enemies at will. He chose not to name this one.

In September 2024, Trump told the Israeli-American Council that Jewish voters would be “partly to blame” if he lost the election. At a separate event the same day, he said any Jewish person voting for Democrats “should have their head examined” and that Democrats have a “hold, or curse” on Jewish Americans. He said he deserved “100 percent” of the Jewish vote because of his Israel policies — treating American Jews not as citizens with independent political judgment but as an Israeli interest group whose loyalty he owns.

These are not the words of someone who cares about, let alone fights against, antisemitism.

They are the words of someone who deploys it for power, the ancient trope of dual loyalty, the implication that Jews who don’t support him are traitors to their own kind.

In November 2025, when Tucker Carlson interviewed Fuentes and the Heritage Foundation fractured over it, Trump said:

You can’t tell him who to interview.

He wouldn’t condemn a Holocaust denier with a direct line to his base, but his ambassadors will brand Belgium antisemitic for enforcing medical licensing laws at the request of a rabbi.

Trumpistan

The pattern isn’t complicated. Antisemitism accusations from Trump’s ambassadors activate in exactly one situation: when a European ally does something Trump doesn’t like.

Recognize Palestine? Antisemitic.

Enforce medical regulations? Antisemitic.

Say Trump doesn’t deserve a Nobel Prize? Well, they haven’t yet found a Jew to abuse, so they just cut ties.

Meanwhile, actual antisemites dine at Mar-a-Lago, get defended on national television, and remain un-condemned by the man whose ambassadors lecture Europe about hatred of Jews.

Belgium’s foreign minister put it cleanly:

Labeling Belgium as antisemitic is not just wrong, it’s dangerous disinformation that undermines the real fight against hatred.

He’s right. Every time antisemitism is weaponized as a diplomatic cudgel to silence legitimate policy disagreements, it becomes harder to identify and fight the real thing. That’s not a side effect. That’s the point. The accusation is designed to lose meaning through overuse — to make the word available for political deployment precisely because it has been drained of its moral content.

Jews who face actual violence on European streets are not protected by Bill White’s ALL-CAPS posts. They’re endangered by them, because the next time someone raises a genuine alarm about antisemitism, the word will carry a little less weight. It will sound a little more like what it has become in Trump’s diplomatic vocabulary: noise.

Trump doesn’t fight antisemitism. He strip-mines it.

OpenAI Management Withheld Warnings of Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooter

This news should end OpenAI. Their management officially states they not only buried danger warnings, they did so intentionally, choosing not to warn of coming mass murder.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story, “about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts.”

Some had identified the suspect’s usage of the AI tool as an indication of real world violence and encouraged leaders to alert authorities, the US outlet reported.

But, it said, leaders of the company decided not to do so.

In a statement, a spokesperson for OpenAI said: “In June 2025, we proactively identified an account associated with this individual [Jesse Van Rootselaar] via our abuse detection and enforcement efforts, which include automated tools and human investigations to identify misuses of our models in furtherance of violent activities.”

[…]

OpenAI has said it will uphold its policy of alerting authorities only in cases of imminent risk because alerting them too broadly could cause unintended harm.

On February 10, 2026, Van Rootselaar shot two people at the family home, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and killed six more people, including five children, before committing suicide. Twenty-five others were injured.

To be clear, OpenAI claims to be an intelligence product. It claims to predict accurately and wants to be a defense tool. And yet here we see exactly the opposite. Allowing children to be murdered. The shooter here is incidental. We are reading that every future flagged user gets the same cost-benefit analysis run to enable potential victims.

First, they claim their detection system works. They tout that they proactively identified the account, flagged it, had human reviewers examine it, and banned it. They present this as responsible behavior.

Second, what they say is they had concern for families, what they mean is concern only for themselves and user retention. Actually alerting anyone who could have helped prevent tragedy is being positioned as if harmful to… perception of OpenAI! The company argues that preventing mass death could be distressing for the young people and their families.

How?

This is the terrifying logic of a doctor who says they didn’t want to alarm a patient with a cancer diagnosis, so they watched preventable death as a silent show of concern.

Big Tech billionaires are exhibiting historic levels of cruelty towards society, as if to usher in increasing harms

OpenAI built a surveillance system that scans private conversations. They bank on being able to predict. Yet they claimed after mass murder that nobody was warned of a known threat, on purpose, because such warnings would change user perception of being constantly under surveillance. But, and this is a huge one, they could have quietly cooperated with RCMP and said nothing publicly.

This is canon in big tech. You warn. You save lives. I’ve built these sausage factories as Head of Trust for the largest data storage products and know from decades on the inside. OpenAI failed basic duty.

The system detected a significant threat. Employees recognized it as serious enough to debate reporting and urged disclosure. OpenAI management overruled them to protect their market value, arguing that enabling a probable mass shooter, by burying intelligence reports, outweighed protecting the eventual victims.

That’s a cruel policy choice that prioritized company power and selfish gain over public safety. Cruelty explains why now they are announcing they detected the shooter long ago, to defend their arrogant “intelligence” reputation, so they can monetize credit for detection despite NOT helping with prevention.

They are literally up-selling detection power after the fact, emphasizing OpenAI management controls public fate, while families grieve the preventable dead.

I can not emphasize enough how this should make OpenAI directly responsible, enabling mass murder. They assumed a duty by constructing the system. The legal term is “voluntary assumption of duty”: once you undertake to act, you can be liable for doing so negligently.

OpenAI goes far beyond negligence. Either they didn’t check whether authorities already knew about this person, which is already crossing the line and negligent, or they did know and still declined, which is far worse.

The people who actually suffered unintended harm were the eight dead and twenty-five wounded. OpenAI’s framing cruelly inverts the duty of care by positioning user discomfort of being reported as equivalent to or greater than the risk of mass death.

Authorities already had multiple contacts with Van Rootselaar before the shooting, had apprehended him under the Mental Health Act more than once, and had previously removed guns from the residence. A report from OpenAI would have fit within an existing file of law enforcement. There was ZERO risk of a cold call if corroborating evidence was for an active concern. OpenAI effectively is lying in their calculated framing of who is at risk and why.

OpenAI’s entire “over-enforcement” defense collapses against the fact that RCMP already had an active file. OpenAI’s entire “we knew eight months early” should be used to shut them down.

They knew, they had the power to act, they chose not to, and now they want to be rewarded for knowing. That’s the architecture of impunity for mass murder.

Related: Judges are unable to find a jury to put OpenAI co-founder Elon Musk on trial because he is so hated for being unaccountable for crimes against humanity.

I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race for Mr. Musk to be sent to prison.

ICE Executed U.S. Citizen March 2025 and Hid Report

Ruben Ray Martinez was shot to death in South Padre Island on March 15, 2025, in an almost identical procedure to the execution of Renee Good.

…HSI group supervisory special agent utilized his government-issued service weapon, discharging multiple rounds at the driver through the open driver’s side window.

The news of the execution was covered locally, yet ICE buried the report. The obvious connection to ICE procedures being videoed in Minneapolis was not made until now.

On January 7, Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old writer and mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in Minneapolis. 

Less than three weeks later, on January 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse, was shot and killed by Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis during the same enforcement deployment. 

The video of ICE publicly executing Good lays bare the methods used on U.S. citizens. An agent stands near the front of a vehicle while he and others intentionally escalate fear, threatening and agitating the driver, then they shoot through the driver side window at close range.

Got ICE?
