| 0:00.0 | Good evening. And right before we dive into what RFK is up to with this vaccine compensation program total overhaul, |
| 0:07.7 | I will quickly mention that it looks like the season is starting to change. At least here in New York, |
| 0:14.3 | the wind is starting to turn into that sweet, melancholy chill of an autumn breeze. However, the last vestiges of summer are still here |
| 0:24.7 | in the form of the end of summer sale that the Epic Times is currently having on subscriptions. |
| 0:30.5 | Right now, you can subscribe for just 50 cents a week for the whole year. So basically, instead of just |
| 0:36.1 | flipping your coins back and forth, seeing which |
| 0:38.2 | one comes up heads more often than the other, you can instead give us those two quarters. |
| 0:42.8 | And in exchange, you'll get unlimited access to everything on the website, all of the infographics, |
| 0:48.6 | all the videos, all the documentaries, the articles, the analyses, everything. And so if you've been on the fence about |

| 1:17.4 | that we have set up here in America, saying that he will be working alongside Pam Bondi at the |
| 1:23.4 | DOJ to overhaul the way that the program works. Let's go through what the program is, what |
| 1:30.3 | VICP actually is, how it was set up back in the 80s, as well as the criticism that RFK has for it. |
| 1:36.7 | And I'll quickly mention, just because I feel like I have to, I don't have an opinion on this |
| 1:41.2 | subject. And I'm definitely not advocating for one side over another. |
| 1:45.0 | I'm simply reporting to you what the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the United States is saying in his official capacity without any commentary at all. |
| 1:55.5 | And so with that second caveat out of the way, let's actually dive into what RFK said in his statement. |
| 2:00.5 | And he began that |
| 2:01.4 | statement by offering a brief history of how the current system actually came to be. |
