So what did Robert Kennedy junior, standing in the background looking stonefaced at the proceedings, have to say, according to Politico just a few months ago:<center>https://x.com/ArtOfTheMystic/status/1974197764700705150<br>*Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans Tuesday to cancel $500 million in vaccine development projects.<br>In a statement from his office, the longtime vaccine critic said all projects to be halted use mRNA technology.<br>"After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses,” Kennedy said in a video posted on social platform X, referring to Covid-19 and flu mRNA vaccines. The secretary has long been suspicious of the mRNA vaccine platform.* [source](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/05/hhs-plans-to-terminate-22-mrna-vaccine-projects-00494922)</center><center><b>But it is getting even better than that</b><br>still with the same [source](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/05/hhs-plans-to-terminate-22-mrna-vaccine-projects-00494922)<br><br>*The planned cancellation of contracts includes work with Emory University and Tiba Biotech. <b><u>Proposals from Pfizer</u></b>, Sanofi Pasteur, CSL Seqirus, Gritstone and others will also be rejected, according to HHS.*<br>https://x.com/SecKennedy/status/1952851097019633766<br>![RFK burning 22 mRNA deals](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GxoFHtGWMAEXPwP?format=jpg&name=900x900)</center><center><sup>[Image Source](https://x.com/NicHulscher/status/1952879081051074642)</sup></center>

<center><h4>MAHA supporters not on board with Trump’s Pfizer deal
</h4></center>*Proponents of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda are outraged over the Trump administration’s deal with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, with some saying it goes against the movement’s ethos of cutting out “Big Pharma” from the federal government.<br>Shannon Joy, an online creator who describes herself as a medical freedom advocate, decried the meeting in a video posted Thursday. Speaking on “The Shannon Joy Show,” she argued the MAHA movement was about confronting long-standing establishments.<br>“Pfizer’s stock was plummeting, which is probably why Pfizer struck a deal with Donald Trump. Naming rights and $70 billion in investment and new mRNA technologies and engaged in that circus sideshow that we saw just a couple days ago,” said Joy, lamenting that the White House had only empowered a major pharmaceutical company, noting how its stock price had jumped in the days following the announcement.*<br>[Select Quotes Source](https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/maha-supporters-not-on-board-with-trump-s-pfizer-deal/ar-AA1NNkDh)<br>

YOU TELL ME: DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE?  .......

Most of the summoners that we play with are rare. When we get them up to level 3 we can pair them with level 4 commons, level 3 rares, level 2 epics and level 2 legendary monsters.

I think these are some of the most impactful fire monsters from Conclave Arcana to start leveling up if you happen to have some level 3 rare summoners to pair them with. These upgrades will also work if you have level 2 legendary summoners, level 2 epic summoners or level 4 common summoners.

At level 4 Vicious Giraffe picks up a 5th health which means more when you it has the potential to get more dangerous each turn thanks to the painforge ability.

At level 2 Oridum Graybrow picks up the resurgence ability. It's almost as good as putting 2 copies of a solid card onto the battlefield.

Inept Healer picks up the corrupted healting ability at level 2. The more that I've had a chance to play with this ability, I think it's even stronger than self healing or tank healing.

All of the cards that I discussed in today's post are legal in modern (being from Conclave Arcana). If you start to level these cards up remember that they will revert to a lower level if you play them with a lower level summoner.

I would love to hear what some of your favorite cards are to level up. I'll keep pointing out the ones I can. Another great place to find them is the cards that you get beat by on the battlefield.

I hope this post has been helpful and informative. Thanks for reading and thanks for all the upvotes, reblogs, comments and follows. I'll see you in the game.

For any of you who might be new to making posts for the social media challenge or who had stepped away for a while. This can be a great way to get involved in the Splinterlands community. The upvotes from the Splinterlands curators can go a long ways towards keeping your collection competitive. There are some recent updates to their curation rules that are worth noting:

Word Count. There is a 600 word cutoff which is relevant for me. Several of my recent posts were right around that cutoff, some were a little over and some were a little under. One of our manual curators pointed it out for me. I was grateful for the upvote and the explanation.

Community Commitment. "To ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the Hive ecosystem, we will evaluate the long-term commitment of participants when selecting winners. Specifically, we will review past rewards earned and currently held Hive Power (HP) as part of the selection process.

Participants who demonstrate an investor mindset by holding and growing their HP are more likely to be rewarded. Those who consistently extract all rewards without reinvesting into the ecosystem may not be eligible for prizes.

This rule aims to celebrate and encourage commitment to the Hive blockchain, fostering a strong and engaged community." 
TLDR. If you're a little bit of an OG like I am who has been stacking your SPS and your hive power for a couple of years, you're still likely to get curated. If you've been cashing out all of your earnings within the ecosystem or doing stuff like farming, the curators can easily see that you only have 40 SPS staked and hive power of 3. You're not going to get curated. To say that farming is not encouraged would be an understatement. We are strictly prohibited from using multiple accounts to farm rewards in these weekly challenges.
