Actually, it's more about the vaccines than the Rx medications, although both are horribly miscontrued as "health" products.  I took this excerpt from my latest online edition of Dr. Tim O'Shea (*The Doctor Within*).  Great reading.  I refuse to go through and edit this into a more readable form, you'll just have to wade through it the best you can, or subscribe to Dr. O'Shea's newsletter (it's free and only comes once a month, sometimes not even that often).

4. TRUMP AND THE POLIO VACCINE 

Having received a mandate for change from the electorate in a landslide decision, Donald Trump is the new media darling.  His old enemies are falling all over themselves now trying to gain his favor and hoping he will forget the years of insults.  Countries that have considered the US a running joke for the past 4 years are now beating a path to Mar A Lago to pay homage to the new Messiah.  Such a swing of the pendulum was inevitable. But the one unassailable Golden Calf that must remain as a permanent deity is the mythology of vaccines.  Vaccines are the underlayment for the entire global pharmaceutical religion.  So in the past even though both Trump and RFK have shown some unwillingness to worship at the altar of Edward Jenner, they both have enough political sense not to cast any direct aspersions in that direction at the present time.  This must be particularly difficult for Bobby, as the author of the definitive vaccine textbook The Real Anthony Fauci – a thousand references on the dangers and lack of science behind vaccines.  So in his new capacity as director of HHS,  Bobby avoids the topic whenever possible and when asked a direct question will point out that he and all his children are vaccinated, which satisfies the average superficially-informed fake news “reporter.”  So Bobby will focus on food contamination, since the country will never be ready for vaccine reform.  We’ll strive to Make America Healthy Again, but let’s not get carried away, right? Now Trump is no academic and never tries to be one.  So he relies on soundbytes he has memorized whenever forced to give his opinion on anything scientific.  Coupled with his absolute rhetorical mastery which will immediately change the subject, he can easily extricate himself from the stickiest of interview situations. So the soundbyte Donald has memorized to utter whenever the topic of vaccines comes up involves an invocation for the polio vaccine along with a peculiar veneration for the Salk vaccine.  Followed by an immediate subject change.  He has calculated correctly that this is sufficient endorsement to show his approval for all vaccines.  This is a master here. The irony here is that the polio vaccine was one of the worst vaccines ever invented.  The Salk vaccine in particular was so harmful that it was taken off the market in less than a year.  There is an entire chapter on polio vaccine in the final edition of Vaccination Is Not Immunization. Here are some excerpts from that chapter: “POLIOMYELITIS Polio no longer exists in the Western world in its wild state. The only cases of poliomyelitis since 1979 have been from the polio vaccine. ( Vaccine Guide p108 [246]) No cases in the US 1979 - 2023. [17] The risk of acquiring wild polio in the US is zero. A viral infection of the grey matter of the spinal cord, poliomyelitis in its natural state was never such a killer, even before vaccines came out. 90% of those who carried the polio virus never had any symptoms. (Burnet, p 93) [235] And only a fraction of 1% of cases ended up with long term paralysis. [246], p 108] The polio vaccine was not responsible for the decline of polio in the U.S. Many researchers show how that decline was taking place quite on its own. [244] (Figure 2 above (p 58) THE CUTTER INCIDENT The original Salk polio vaccine in 1955 caused “…one of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in US history” - admitted by vaccine capo Paul Offit. [349] The vaccine caused over 40,000 new cases of polio, which resulted in at least 164 cases of permanent paralysis and at least 10 deaths. The disaster, known as the Cutter Incident, was widely reported in media at the time. [348, 349] ([273], p 487) The Salk vaccine was taken off the market after only 11 months, to be replaced by the Sabin oral vaccine. Here’s what Albert Sabin, MD, the inventor of that vaccine, had to say 30 years later [286] : “Official data has shown that the large scale vaccinations undertaken in the US have failed to obtain any significant improvement of the diseases for which they were supposed to provide immunization. In essence it was and is a failure.” The sharp drop-off in polio cases reported on Alderson’s statistics chart above is due to the radical change in the way polio cases were reported rather than to the effect of the vaccine. A full explanation can be found on p.109 of Neustaedter’s The Vaccine Guide, [246] . To make a long story short, doctors over-reported polio before 1954, and under-reported it afterwards. Their assignment was to show that the vaccine worked. From Dr Herbert Shelton, ( Hygienic Care of Children)  [259] :=11.0pt  “The apparent disappearance of polio was brought about by clever juggling. Before the Salk vaccine was introduced, thousands of cases of polio were diagnosed each year in children who had no polio. “After the introduction of the vaccine, these cases were no longer diagnosed as polio. This appeared to reduce the cases to a near vanishing point.”What is certain is that polio virtually disappeared, but not because of the polio vaccine. The inventor of the vaccine, Jonas Salk himself testified in 1977 that the few cases of polio we now see in the U.S. are the result of using the polio vaccine rather than the result of the disease itself. ( Science Abstracts4 Apr 1977) [283] Even the CDC also admits that all cases of polio in the U.S. after 1979 have been caused by the vaccine, not the disease!    [243] p 568.Are parents listening? If the only cases of polio in America in the past 40 years are caused by the vaccine itself, why are we still vaccinating? With 5 shots? Wouldn’t be so bad if the vaccine were harmless. But there are two complications of this 'harmless' vaccine:

• the polio vaccine was stabilized with neurotoxins like

mercury and formaldehyde 

• the original polio vaccine contained SV-40 monkey virus

The first of these is beyond controversy. The manufacturers admitted it. ( Physicians Desk Reference [270] ) Mercury, as we all know, is a metabolic poison, damaging brain, kidneys, and bone marrow. (Widmans, p.691; Bernard [240, 222]) Formaldehyde, used in embalming, is a known carcinogen. The second of these complications, the contamination of polio vaccine with SV-40, bears elaboration. 50,000 MONKEYS were slaughtered in the 60s in order to make the Salk vaccine for polio. (James, p166) [233] Tens of thousands of rhesus monkeys had been killed to provide kidneys on which to culture the vaccine. ( PDR, 1998 p 2131)Looking at the statistics of polio during the past century (Figure 2 above), many researchers, including the inventor himself, later felt the polio vaccine was unnecessary, because by 1954 the disease was obviously winding itself down throughout our species. Herd immunity.MONKEY VIRUS A 1963 issue of Science Digest shows that in the 1950s a monkey virus named SV-40 was unwittingly put into hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of doses of Salk vaccine. (Snider) [248] And where did this happen? Africa. The favorite testing ground. (Curtis, p1259) [249]Some 98 million doses of the SV contaminated polio vaccine were given to American children between 1955 and 1963. [219] Horowitz shows why anyone who got polio vaccine prior to 1964 is probably carrying SV-40. ([273] p. 493) Later research linked SV-40 with cancer as well. In Mar 02, scientists at University of Texas and at Baylor independently found the same high correlation (43%) between SV-40 and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, the eighth most common cancer in the US. (ACS) [216] Leading scientist Michele Carbone MD: “... there are more than 70 papers from 60 different laboratories that have confirmed the association of SV-40 with human ... bone and brain tumors.” [193] DISEASE FROM VACCINE Polio vaccine is still unsafe. In the Caribbean during 2002 there were 21 cases of polio and 2 deaths caused by the oral polio vaccine. [208, 205] The vaccine itself has created a new disease, capable of spreading from patient to patient, according to the CDC. [175] A CDC scientist, Olin Kew tells us that in this case:“...the virus, originating in the vaccine ...had undergone a series of genetic mutations .., had reverted to a virulent form and caused the very disease it was meant to prevent.” [205] Even the Wall Street Journal [209] reported: “Scientists had long speculated that the virus contained in the vaccine might re-emerge ... in a virulent form. But this had never been seen until Kew analyzed the changes in the Hispaniola bug ... they saw the alarming manner in which the virus had ‘back-mutated.’ ” We should also recall the above-cited Morgensen study, from 2017, which demonstrated a much higher rate of death among African children who had received the polio vaccine, compared with those who had not. [62] BACKWATER VACCINE DUMPSHostility against US vaccine programs has become more and more evident in Third World places, who grasp the true politics of being the dumping grounds for the Gates’ drug throwaways. In Pakistan during much of 2008, fighting broke out among groups who were resisting mandatory polio shots from UNICEF [Reuters [161], seeing vaccination as a genocidal effort. [189] Difficult to justify trying to vaccinate half a million people in an area with only 32 cases of polio in all of 2007, especially with the vaccine’s track record of fatal reactions. Polio vaccine is clearly perpetuating a disease that would have disappeared completely on its own by now.”  (I feel exactly the same way about ALL vaccinations - they are totally unnecessary.  Doctors and nurses are the only ones pushing them).
