Health Positions of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Some Truth about Anderson Cooper and the "News" He Brings You
#44 2023 The Rowen Report
Dear Subscriber,
This (below) was just posted in Children’s Health Defense. I am reposting it here by permission according to their website policies.
I want to say that I would have answered these questions exactly as did Mr. Kennedy. Long time readers know that I’ve never said I am “against” vaccinations. I am pro personal choice, both for the individual and for the parents of school children. I am not against any drug. I am for informed choice. I am against the Pharma monopoly. But Pharma has bought out the media and politicians. Heck, I just learned that Anderson Cooper’s salary of $12 M per year is funded to $10 M by Pfizer (https://rumble.com/v2r6xgg-robert-f.-kennedy-jr-10-million-out-of-anderson-coopers-12-million-salary-i.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2). (I find it amusing that he gets $10 M per year to bring you biased information about vaccines and medicine, while I get perhaps $30 for a Premium subscription to protect you from the biased news and information. I do most humbly thank the Premium subscribers. More good information is shortly coming your way.)
Do you think Cooper can be godly in reporting about COVID, the vaccine and drugs when his salary is paid by the devil? I can tell you how honorable he is from personal experience. Sometime around 2005, a physician friend of mine was accused of causing the death of a woman with multiple sclerosis by an infusion of hydrogen peroxide 4 days before her death. The pathologist found “air” in her pulmonary capillaries and blamed the death on that. Anderson Cooper investigated this “big story” of an alternative treatment blamed for a death. He sent a reporter to me as an expert in the field, to prepare for a story to be televised on 60 Minutes.
I explained the matter as follows. The woman did fine immediately after the infusion (Tuesday) . A few days later (Friday, I believe) she became ill. The next day she went to the ER in bad shape. They had a lot of trouble accessing her veins. She did shortly succumb to a condition similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation. What was not investigated was the fact that she received her regular injection of a drug called Copaxone the day before admission. The drug has warnings of events identical to what the woman suffered. The woman had multiple failed IV attempts in the ER, possibly due to ineptness. That could definitely introduce “air” into her veins and the air would travel to her lungs.
The hydrogen peroxide infusion releases oxygen gas (not air), rapidly burned. The 25 cc of oxygen released would be rapidly taken up by venous blood and burned off. No way for it to persist 4 days later. I presented all this information to the reporter, who promised it would be delivered to “honest” Anderson for balance in the story.
The 60 Minutes Broadcast simply tore my friend apart and none of the above truth was presented, including the woman’s use of the toxic drug Copaxone just before she succumbed. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-prescription-for-death/). Incidentally, I flew, at my own expense, to testify at a medical board hearing on behalf of my friend Dr. James Shortt on the matter. After all the time and expense, the board cancelled the hearing and my evidence and testimony was never heard. Shortt was called a murderer in thenews. The real killer was the drug which induced the coagulation disorder found by the pathologist. (See toxic effect profile of Copaxone here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/glatiramer-subcutaneous-route/side-effects/drg-20064045). (Does this not “smell” like the whitewashing of child vaccine injuries?)
Pfizer has been involved with Copaxone marketing (https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer_and_synthon_enter_into_u_s_commercialization_agreement_for_potential_generic_treatment_of_multiple_sclerosis). I did not presently investigate to see if Pfizer was involved in 2005, or if Anderson Cooper was on that drug company’s payroll at that time. Nevertheless, do you think you can believe anything that comes out of that man’s mouth? Or any anchor on a news program bought and paid for by a drug company?
To Your Excellent Health,
Robert Jay Rowen, MD
PS This is NOT an endorsement of Kennedy. I don’t plan to publicly endorse any candidate, for I will otherwise be seen as biased in my journalism. I do plan and hope I have the opportunity to present the positions of any and all major candidates for public office on matters of the environment and health/medicine. That is the fair way to do it, and if his/her position resonates with you, then please go with your conscience and support that individual. I do feel it is fair to tell you if their positions are in agreement with mine. I have publicly addressed each of Kennedy’s positions below, and will again tell you that his aligns almost identically with my own. I can only hope that whoever gets in, that he/she will find some well experienced unconventional physician/healers to help guide US policy in health and related matters. I don’t want to be a politician (elected office), but certainly could go for the latter to try to save the nation from demonic Pharma (an industry which has knowingly murdered tens of thousands of Americans).

Medical Freedom Leaders Ask RFK Jr.: How Would You Fix U.S. Health Policy?
In a health policy roundtable discussion on Tuesday, leading critics of U.S. health policy asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Children’s Health Defense chairman on leave and Democratic presidential candidate, how his administration would address key issues of concern to the medical freedom movement.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday hosted a roundtable discussion with leading critics of prevailing health policy who debated topics ranging from public health agency capture to climate change.
Approximately 11,000 viewers watched live as Dr. Pierre Kory, Maureen McDonnell, Mikki Willis, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Patrick Gentempo, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Sayer Ji and Del Bigtree asked Kennedy, founder and chairman on leave from Children’s Health Defense (CHD), a series of questions about how his administration would address key issues of concern to the medical freedom movement.
“This is the moment when the collapsing center, the disintegrating center, the dysfunctional health system finally opens up and what has so long been ‘alternative’ might become a new mainstream that could transform the health of this country,” roundtable facilitator and author Charles Eisenstein said, kicking off the discussion.
McDonnell, a holistic pediatric nurse and founder of Millions Against Medical Mandates, asked Kennedy how he would transform a healthcare system from one controlled by Big Pharma “where for every ailment there’s a drug and for every infection there’s a vaccine or one in the pipeline” to one that treats the root causes of the illnesses and chronic conditions plaguing the nation.
Kennedy said Pharma’s “mercantile ambitions” have been allowed to overwhelm the healthcare system, and conflicts of interest have to be eliminated.
That includes ending advertising by Pharma, redirecting grants toward studying chronic diseases, making public health data such as the Vaccine Safety Datalink available to researchers, and having the U.S. Department of Justice hold journals accountable for “racketeering with the pharmaceutical industry to systematically lie to the public,” he said.
Kory, founder and president of Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, asked Kennedy if expanding funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand oversight and data collection would help to ensure commercial and political bias stayed out of research.
Kennedy said he thought NIH didn’t need more money, it needed a new focus.
He said NIH ought to study the etiology of chronic disease rather than studying infectious diseases, which pose a lesser threat to human health, and incubating new pharmaceutical products. NIH scientists personally profit from inventing new products, which is a practice he said needs to end.
Most importantly, Kennedy said, he would “end all gain-of-function research,” which he said is just a disaster. “It’s given us no benefits. It’s given us everything from Lyme disease to COVID and many many other diseases.”
Gentempo talked about the “tyranny [that] can take hold all in the name of medicine and all in the name of science” as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. He asked what Kennedy thought could be done so it never happens again.
“We need to make it clear that the Constitution is inviolable and that even in an emergency, the most dire emergency, you can’t waive the Constitution and that you have to go through the Democratic process,” Kennedy said. To protect that, he said, Congress must change the criteria for declaring states of emergency.
Osteopath and natural health specialist Mercola talked about the suppression of dissenting ideas. “The Biden regime has been the most authoritarian administration in the United States’ history,” he said, and ideas like those being discussed in the round table were “relentlessly censored from head to toe.”
Kennedy said this censorship was a betrayal of liberal ideology, which “is about ideas … triumphing in the marketplace of ideas.”
He talked about the recent controversy over his proposed debate with Dr. Peter Hotez, where people defending Hotez’s refusal to debate did so on the grounds that he is an “expert” who should not debate non-experts.
Kennedy said:
“What they’re saying is there’s kind of a high priesthood of people who are experts, and they should not debate anybody else because they’re the high priest and they should just be trusted. …
“Now what they can say is, well, I’m a crazy person. And it, you know, and it, it just gives credence to my crazy ideas. But my … crazy ideas already have credence. …
“By the way, science is rooted in reason. It’s rooted in empiricism. And if you can’t defend science on the battlefield of reason … you’re not really a scientist, as I or any scientist is expected to defend their hypothesis in debate, in heated, fierce debate.”
Responding to Tenpenny’s question about how he would select his medical advisory team, Kennedy said he would draw from his extensive network of people with government, public health and scientific experience — people like Kory and Dr. Meryl Nass.
He added that his advisors would be dissidents who were moving away from the pharmaceutical paradigm to “center all of our objectives on actual metrics that show better health.”
Sayer Ji, the founder of alternative medicine portal GreenMedInfo, asked Kennedy where he stood on the World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic treaty and the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations, which he said could threaten U.S. sovereignty.
“Under my presidency, we’re not going to be submitting to any WHO treaty, and I’m going to be really reevaluating the U.S. relationship with the WHO on a lot of bases,” Kennedy said.
He said the WHO previously did important work, rooted in localized processes and contexts, but that today the WHO has been “hijacked by big corporations who want to promote their technologies and promote one cookie cutter technology for every problem.”
Willis, who produced the “Plandemic” documentaries, told Kennedy that as a veteran environmental activist, he was concerned with the way “the climate change narrative has been grossly exaggerated by power-hungry politicians,” and asked whether Kennedy agreed with that assessment and how he would retell the climate story.
Kennedy said he believes climate change is an existential threat. He said as an outdoorsman, he watched the climate change, and the idea that carbon traps heat has long been known.
He also said he studied the science produced as early as the 1970s by the Exxon scientists who predicted the corporation’s practices would have devastating climatic effects.
But he agreed with Willis that the “climate narrative has been hijacked” by actors such as the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates and other elites “to consolidate their power, diminish democracy, constrict civil and human rights, and to impose top-down totalitarian controls.”
Kennedy proposed a “market-based” rather than top-down approach to dealing with climate issues, where the cheapest and most efficient energy sources would be rewarded.
Those would generally be renewable sources, he said, providing examples of the environmental costs created by coal and gas exploitation that would have to be internalized in the type of system he’s advocating.
He added that people didn’t have to believe in global warming to see that coal dependency has to end.
Tenpenny said Kennedy’s position on vaccines had been mixed and asked for clarification about whether he was against vaccines.
“I’m not against vaccines any more than I’m against medicine,” Kennedy said, adding that he would support a vaccine if there was evidence it made people safer and healthier.
But, he added that he was against vaccine mandates and all medical mandates.
Finally, McDonnell brought up the challenges of building collaboration in the health freedom movement and asked Kennedy how he would deal with political divisions on all of these issues, and beyond.
He said he thought people’s anger is rooted in the fact that they are being lied to, censored and gaslighted. “The principal antidote for that is a government that is just rigorously truthful,” he said.
Documentarian and journalist Bigtree, who spoke last, said the health freedom movement is “truly a people’s movement. And it doesn’t matter what the media says about it. They will not be able to stop us.”
Vice and Rolling Stone immediately published articles criticizing the roundtable and its panelists.
The Defender on occasion posts content related to Children’s Health Defense’s nonprofit mission that features Mr. Kennedy’s views on the issues CHD and The Defender regularly cover. In keeping with Federal Election Commission rules, this content does not represent an endorsement of Mr. Kennedy, who is on leave from CHD and is seeking the Democratic nomination for president of the U.S.
I have a political science degree, I know the complexity of the political landscape.
And yet, my top 10 issues are medical freedom & stopping the global pharma cabal.
This cabal shut down the world. Their power is unbelievable, and for me everything else comes second. My academic position is STILL furloughed, believe it or not, three years and counting (I'm not waiting, I gave up hope long ago).
Not to mention, they coerced and mandated a deadly medical experiment on a near global scale. I'm losing friends and family left and right. One of my closest friends died of turbo cancer, I attended his funeral Saturday. My only sibling has turbo cancer and sudden aphasia. My aunt died of a blood clot. My uncle in law died suddenly with no explanation. I could go on and on. I care about the environment, about infrastructure, and social issues. But those take a back seat to my concerns about the cabal and deep state who can hold the world hostage unless we take their experimental medication. I'm voting for the candidate most capable of gutting the agencies who carried this out, regardless of political party.
