Pfizer does not expect major vaccine policy changes under Trump in 2025 – via reuters.com

Dec 17 (Reuters) – Pfizer (PFE.N), on Tuesday said it does not expect the Trump administration to make major changes to vaccine policy next year even as the president-elect has put forward vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told analysts at an investor conference that he had met RFK Jr. and Trump for dinner, confirming earlier media reports, and had developed a good relationship with Kennedy.

“If he’s confirmed, we will work with him to make sure that we advance the right policies,” Bourla said.

I know, you, like me, are greatly relieved to hear that Pfizer will be allowed to continue to offer up toxic sludge as a way to treat, well, almost anything.  And all it took was a little dinner with Trump and RFK, Jr., to get the message from Pfizer understood.  Good stuff!

But wait….didn’t RFK, Jr. say this about Bourla a couple of years ago?

Must have been some kind of meal.

Meanwhile, in cringe land…

Cheryl Hines, famous for her role on the sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm , knows how to captivate attention. In an Instagram story promoting her Hines+Young candle line, the actress surprised her followers by featuring her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., completely naked… in the shower! In this humorous sequence, Cheryl interrupts a presentation of her “MAHA” candle to joke with her husband in the background: “Honey, you can’t take a shower right now, I’m making a video!” It was a quirky touch that quickly set social media ablaze. – via msn.com

Adorable: Trump And Musk Debut Matching Christmas Pajamas

PALM BEACH, FL — In yet another sign of their growing bond, President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk debuted a new matching set of Christmas pajamas they will wear as they celebrate the holiday together next week at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump and Musk revealed the identical outfits they would wear on Christmas morning as they gathered to exchange gifts, proving that their friendship had reached a new level.

“These are the greatest, most beautiful Christmas pajamas in history, folks,” Trump told reporters. “They’re for me and my good friend Elon. Everyone loves Elon. He’s a smart guy. Almost as smart as me. We’re going to wear these for Christmas. I don’t know what he’s getting me. Maybe a Cybertruck. A beautiful golden Cybertruck. We’ll see.”

Political pundits and Washington lawmakers who have raised red flags over what they perceived to be an unsettling amount of power being wielded by Musk pointed to the matching jammies as a clear indication of his strong influence on Trump.

“This is the most troubling sign yet,” said Senator Chuck Schumer. “We’ve seen evidence that Musk is influencing policy and legislation… now he’s wearing matching Christmas jammies with the president-elect? Why don’t they just put a desk for Elon right next to Trump’s in the Oval Office? This should inspire great fear in the heart of every American.”

At publishing time, sources from within Mar-a-Lago also reported that Trump and Musk were planning to bake Christmas cookies and write each other’s names on them with icing.
