On today’s episode of Finding Freedom, John pulls back the curtain on several important stories and provides a personal update: He shares his own negative experience with Primo Brands and explains the unfolding class action lawsuit connected to the company. John gives an entrepreneurial update, highlighting the latest progress and challenges across his ventures. He covers the inspiring case of a 16-year-old in New York who won a major federal court victory securing medical exemptions from school vaccine mandates—an important moment in the fight for health freedom. Finally, John unpacks Donald Trump’s call for Pfizer to release vaccine data, exploring what this demand means for Operation Warp Speed, accountability, and transparency in the pharmaceutical industry.
