President-elect Donald Trump has accused Big Pharma companies of murdering US citizens and “getting away with it” for decades.  In a bold move, Donald Trump promised on Wednesday to curb pharmaceutical companies’ ability to overcharge for medicines – saying that under his presidency big changes that would benefit the public were going to happen. Rawstory.com reports: After his remarks, the Ishares Nasdaq Biotech ETF dropped 4 percent at its session low and was on track for its largest daily percentage drop since late June.

Donald Trump’s pick to head up a vaccine safety task force has promised to expose the CDCs cover-up of the dangers of vaccines.  Robert Kennedy, Jr. has vowed to not only investigate the dangers vaccines pose to public health, but to also investigate any organisation that has deliberately misled the public about them.

As the National Health Service crisis deepens, over 20 hospitals in England have been forced to declare a ‘black alert’. NHS England classifies a black alert as a “serious incident” meaning the system is such under severe pressure that it is unable to deliver certain actions and comprehensive emergency care. At least 23 hospitals have been forced to issue the warning declaring that they cannot cope with increasingly overwhelming patient numbers, meaning that patient safety can no longer be guaranteed.

American linguistics professor Noam Chomsky believes the American healthcare system to be an “international scandal” which is going to get worse under President-elect Donald Trump. Chomsky, the distinguished scholar and author of over 100 books, wonders why the American masses are not in revolt as Republicans prepare to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Donald Trump supposedly picked Robert Kennedy Jr. to head a commission on vaccines and autism, causing a good deal of anxiety among mainstream media.

Trump has since denied that any decision has been made, but Kennedy has been telling people the offer was extended and presumably accepted.
