The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is telling the nation’s doctors that every adult 18 and older should receive a 2026-2027 COVID-19 vaccine, despite the fact that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved those same vaccines in August only for adults 65 and older and for younger people with at least one condition that puts them at high risk.
This is just one of the potentially deadly points of advice confusion that the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), a national coalition of 20,000 independent physicians, researchers and healthcare professionals, is calling on to be removed from HHS websites.
“The CDC, FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services must immediately resolve this contradiction and instead err toward patient safety,” said Dr. Joseph Varon, President and Chief Medical Officer of the Independent Medical Alliance. “The CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine pages don’t match current FDA labeling and safety warnings. Instead, outdated advice that has since proven harmful, and even deadly, to patients is still being promoted. If pending court cases are an issue, then the CDC should immediately take down the content.”
Dozens of studies since the release of the mRNA platform have demonstrated elevated cardiovascular risks associated with the shot, particularly in younger men. Other side effects include unexplained resurgence of cancers in shot recipients, warranting extreme caution on recommending any mRNA product. The IMA’s Journal of Independent Medicine is quickly becoming the nation’s leading forum on examining the impacts of mRNA therapy.
