Trump Says Youth Vaccine Mandate Rollback is a “Very Tough Position” – “They Just Pure and Simple Work… I Think Those Vaccines Should be Used”

President Trump on Friday expressed support for mandatory vaccines for school-aged children, amid Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to end unnecessary vaccination. 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats sought to grill him about his personnel and vaccine guidance shake-up at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Per the Hill, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for those under 18. Kennedy, meanwhile, has fired all 17 sitting members of CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and also moved to oust the CDC head and other top HHS experts.”

During the Senate hearing, RFK revealed that in the early 2000s, a senior CDC scientist was ordered to destroy data from an internal study that showed a staggering link between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism risk in young Black boys. The data showed that black boys, who got vaccinated before 24 months of age or 36 months of age, “had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” RFK said.

This also comes after Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced earlier this week that the Florida Department of Health is planning to remove “every last” vaccine mandate from Florida law.

“All of them. Every last one of them,” Ladapo said to loud cheers and a standing ovation.

“Who am I, as the government, or anyone else, who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body? I don’t have that right.”

FDA Official Pressures YouTube Into Removing a Channel For Posting His Own Vaccine Comments

Last week, a top official with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) apparently filed a bogus copyright claim to get a critic’s YouTube account taken down. This is an inappropriate act of censorship that, not long ago, conservatives would rightly have stood against.

“Jonathan Howard, a neurologist and psychiatrist in New York City, received an email from YouTube on Friday night, which stated that Vinay Prasad, who is the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, had demanded the removal of six videos of himself from Howard’s YouTube channel,” The Guardian reported this week. “Howard’s entire channel has now been deleted by YouTube, which cited copyright infringement.”

On his channel, Howard hosted videos of public health officials—including Prasad, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya—making statements during the COVID-19 pandemic that turned out to be untrue or overly myopic. “I had accumulated about 350 videos, almost all of which were short clips of famous doctors saying absurd things,” Howard wrote in a blog post, “that herd immunity had arrived in the spring of 2021 and that RFK Jr. was an honest broker about vaccines, for example.” Howard is also critical of Prasad’s stance on vaccines, which Prasad now has the authority to regulate.

According to an email Howard posted, YouTube “terminated” his channel after “multiple copyright strikes” against his videos, and the “removal request” came from Prasad.

“Publishing someone else’s videos without modification or commentary is a clear copyright violation,” an FDA spokesperson told The Guardian. “The mission of Johnathan Howard was not medical transparency, but personal profit by grifting and stealing someone else’s intellectual property.”

“My YouTube channel had 256 subscribers and its videos were typically seen by dozens of people,” Howard wrote. “I never promoted the channel and made no money from it.” Besides, U.S. law allows for fair use of copyrighted material, which means someone can use protected content for purposes such as “criticism, comment, news reporting,” or “research” without the creator’s permission.

Howard is the author of the book We Want Them Infected, which criticized doctors and public health officials who advocated a herd immunity strategy for dealing with COVID-19. Howard says such warnings fed into anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. His YouTube channel collected videos of people who are now in charge of public health institutions, making what he feels were irresponsible claims during the pandemic.

But whether you agree with Howard or not, it is wrong and hypocritical for Prasad to silence his critics in this way.

UK’s Health Minister Stephen Kinnock claims vaccines are 100% safe. So, here’s my challenge to him

UK Health Minister Stephen Kinnock MP claims vaccines are 100% safe.  This claim has prompted a challenge from Dr. Vernon Coleman.

Dr. Coleman challenges Stephen Kinnock to a live, national television debate on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, including the covid-19 vaccine.  “He can bring as many advisors as can be fitted into the studio.  And I will argue that he is wrong. Just by myself,” Dr. Colman says.

Britain’s Health Minister, Stephen Kinnock MP, has allegedly told the BBC that the Government was concerned about vaccine uptake and hesitancy, which he said had increased after the covid-19 “pandemic.” He said campaigns explaining “the benefit of getting vaccinated and the fact that this is 100% safe would be brought forward as the Government sought to win this battle against the conspiracy theorists.”

He said the Government was also committed to combating disinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines on social media.

“It’s our job as the government, and everybody else out there that is on the side of common sense and reason, to make this case and to win this battle against the conspiracy theorists, and misinformers and disinformers out there who need to be dealt with and need to be silenced,” Kinnock added.

Did Kinnock really say that?

Now, I’ve been studying vaccines for over 50 years and my conclusion is that to say that any vaccine is 100% safe is like saying bombs never kill people or that no one has been killed in Gaza.

I suppose it all depends on how you define “safe” but I would argue that there isn’t a vaccine in the world which is 100% safe – though this isn’t the first time that such an absurd claim has been made on the BBC. (To be clear, my dictionary defines safe as “not likely to cause or lead to harm.”)

The big question is: “How does Mr Kinnock explain why governments around the world have paid out billions of dollars to families of vaccine-damaged patients?”

And why does his government pay out huge sums of money to those who have been damaged by vaccines if vaccines are 100% safe?

And what’s all this about “silencing” people?

Howard Dean: Vaccines Likely the ‘Wedge Issue that Begins to Literally Divide the United States’

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean claimed on Thursday’s “The Beat” on MSNBC that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s stance on vaccines could be “the wedge issue that begins to literally divide the United States.”

Host Ari Melber said, “Is RFK Jr. fit for this job?”

Dean said, “No, but he never was fit for the job. He’s a crackpot. But here’s the interesting thing about this, I’ve been thinking about this during the day. This is possibly the wedge issue that begins to literally divide the United States as a result of his nuttiness, and as a result of the victims of his nuttiness, which are going to be children, lots of children. The states in the West Coast, Washington, Oregon and California have essentially put together their own CDC. I think New England is going to join them. Massachusetts has talked about it already. I wouldn’t be surprised if New York and some other places like Pennsylvania joined them. So you’re going to have essentially two authorities, the CDC, run by a crackpot, and then you’re going to have a lot of states ignoring the federal government and making their own rules about all this stuff. That is a big divide and is a big change in the way that government has been operating in the United States for the last hundred years.”

He added, “Here’s the other interesting thing about this. So yesterday, the surgeon general, backed up by the governor in Florida, said that they were going to get rid of all vaccine mandates. Now, would you take your children to Disney World if you thought they might be exposed to whooping cough? Even people who have been vaccinated can be be become troubled and can spread the disease if they’re in a huge tank of people who have no vaccination.”

RFK Jr. Says CDC Ordered Scientist to DESTROY Autism Data Linking Measles Vaccine to Black Children in 2002

During a stunning Senate hearing, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that in the early 2000s, a senior CDC scientist was ordered to destroy data from an internal study that showed a staggering link between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism risk in young Black boys.

In 2004, a CDC-backed case-control study in Atlanta compared 624 children with autism to 1,824 without, assessing whether timing of MMR vaccination (before vs. after 18 or 24 months) was linked to autism risk. It found no significant association.

While the 2004 study did not find a causal link, a later re-analysis of the same data received significant attention.

A 2014 study published in Translational Neurodegeneration re-examined the CDC’s dataset and claimed to find an increased autism risk among African American boys who received the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age.

According to the 2014 study, “The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.”

According to RFK Jr., the findings were explosive:

“The data from that study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” Kennedy testified.

“The chief scientist on that, Dr. William Thompson, the Senior Vaccine Safety Scientist at CDC, was ordered to come into a room with four other co-authors by his boss, Frank DeStefano, who’s the head of the safety press, and ordered to destroy that data. Then they published it without that fact.”

RFK Is over the Target

COVID pandemic tyrants mandated vaccination as a societal duty, lest we become disease-spreaders.  The vaccinated were supposedly protected from infection.  So how could the unvaccinated spread disease to them?

This highlights inherent deficiencies in the Germ Theory of Disease (GTOD), formulated as four postulates in the late 19th century by Robert Koch.  Koch’s postulates require the following:

  • The microorganism must be found in all individuals suffering from the disease, but not in healthy individuals.
  • The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased host and grown in pure culture.
  • The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
  • The microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host and identified as the same agent.

The third postulate doesn’t always hold.  Not everyone shows signs of disease during pandemics.  A person might be infected but asymptomatic.  This is simply a fact.  Those recognizing this are derided by the media/medical/pharmaceutical establishment as germ theory denialists.  Leftists believe that this is a sin second only to climate heresy.

COVID was a classic example of the GTOD’s deficits.  COVID was not an equal-opportunity killer of 1.2 million Americans and 7 million globally.  The young were mostly immune, whereas the elderly perished. 

Louis Pasteur helped develop the GTOD.  His nemesis, Antoine Béchamp, proposed the Microzymian theory: disease originates internally.  Béchamp asserted that disease is caused by changes in the body’s internal environment, not by external germs.  Microbes were a consequence, not a cause of disease.

A great deal of truth lies in his assertions.  Individuals’ nutritional status and immune function are key factors.  We saw evidence of this during COVID.  A direct relationship existed between Vitamin D levels and resistance to COVID’s intensity.  More nuanced efforts seek to bridge the divide between Béchamp’s concepts and the GTOD.

The medical industry envisioned dollar signs once the GTOD appeared.  An enemy had been identified.  The global war on microbes was on.  Children and pets are pumped with dozens of novel vaccines.  The childhood vaccine schedule is a tragic farce.  By age 18, children are scheduled to receive over 50 CDC-recommended injections.  Each provides profits to manufacturers and clinicians.  Seniors are urged to get nine vaccines.  According to RFK Jr., “50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”

Russia’s Vector Institute Engineers Lab-Made Bird Flu Spike Protein for ‘Needle-Free Jet Injection’: Journal ‘Vaccines’

In new a study published last week in the journal Vaccines, Russia’s Vector Institute detailed how it engineered a lab-built H5 influenza spike protein—chemically optimized for durability and mass expression—under the banner of needle-free jet injection vaccine development.

The study, titled “Immunogenic and Protective Properties of mRNA Vaccine Encoding Hemagglutinin of Avian Influenza A/H5N8 Virus, Delivered by Lipid Nanoparticles and Needle-Free Jet Injection,” confirms yet another link in the chain of international bird flu pandemic countermeasure orchestration.

Lab-Built Hemagglutinin (HA)

The authors openly admit that they deliberately cut away the natural anchor of the bird flu spike and rebuilt it to be secreted outside the cell.

“In brief, the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains were excised from the native HA sequence. For the purpose of secretion from cells, the signal peptide from the native sequence was retained,” the researchers write.

And further, they took the bird flu spike gene, inserted it into a lab plasmid, and added human RNA control elements plus a long poly(A) tail to boost expression.

“The HA gene, designed based on the native HA gene of the influenza virus A/turkey/Stavropol/320-01/2020 (H5N8) … was cloned into the pVAX-Cas1CC expression cassette … The cassette also contains the human α-globin 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions, as well as a 100-nucleotide poly (A) tail.”

They even confirm the same chemical alteration used in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 shots:

“mRNA synthesis was performed … with uridine replaced by N1-methylpseudouridine.”

Pseudouridine—the synthetic mRNA ingredient swapped in for natural uridine—has now been shown to cause ribosomal “frameshifting” that makes the body attack its own proteins in roughly one-third of recipients, and in other studies has been linked to stimulating cancer growth and metastasis.

The Covid spike protein produced by mRNA jabs can activate reservoirs of HIV in infected people, new research shows

The paper, called “SARS-CoV-2 S protein activates the HIV latent reservoir through the mTOR pathway,” was released on August 19 by eight Chinese researchers. It is a pre-print, meaning other scientists have not yet peer-reviewed it, and so far it has received little attention, with fewer than 1,000 views.

But the work appears rigorous. The scientists stimulated dormant groups of HIV-infected cells — called HIV reservoirs — with spike protein and found that they began to transcribe and replicate HIV and cause the release of HIV virions.

“This study, by constructing an HIV latent reservoir model expressing the S [spike] protein, has for the first time demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 S protein can significantly promote HIV proviral transcription and viral particle release,” the researchers wrote.

The Chinese finding is relevant to the mRNA Covid shots, because they cause people to make a version of the Covid spike protein, which the immune system then finds and attacks.

When they were introduced, the mRNA shots were supposed to degrade very quickly, but for reasons scientists do not fully understand, they appear to cause long-term production of spike protein in some people who receive them. Yale University researchers have found spike in people up to two years after they’d received the mRNAs.

“I Want The Answer”: Trump Demands Pfizer Prove mRNA Jabs Work

Late last month a CDC advisory committee launched a review into the “safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity” of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as whether mRNA remains in the body longer than advertised. 

As part of the review, they will look at gaps in existing knowledge “relating to bio distribution, pharmacokinetics, and persistence of the spike protein, mRNA, and lipid nanoparticles to inform immunization recommendations,” the document states. In other words – they’ll be looking at whether the vaccine has ever worked, as well as harms it may cause. As ZeroHedge readers know, studies have found that the spike protein and mRNA in the vaccines persist for some time. 

Days after the committee was announced, the Department of Health & Human Services announced that Susan Monarez, who championed mRNA shots for COVID-19, is “no longer director of the CDC” – after she “clashed with the secretary (Kennedy) over vaccine policy,” which ultimately led to her firing.

Meanwhile at least four other CDC officials resigned on Wednesday in a massive leadership shakeup at the agency: Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC’s chief medical officer; Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, the director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; and Dr. Jennifer Layden, director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance and Technology.

As the leadership crisis at the CDC unfolds, President Trump issued a somewhat cryptic ‘truth’ – challenging Pfizer and other vaccine makers to make public the same ‘GREAT’ claims his administration was shown in order to justify operation Warp Speed. 

“It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree!” Trump wrote. 

“I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not???” the ‘truth’ continues. “With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW.”

Taxpayer Dollars from NIH Used to Create ‘Transgender Monkeys’ to Inject with mRNA Vaccines

White Coat Waste Project (WCW), a watchdog group dedicated to ending taxpayer-funded animal experiments, has discovered that millions in taxpayer dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the State of Florida are being spent on bizarre experiments to create “transgender” monkeys by pumping male rhesus macaques full of estrogen and then injecting them with mRNA vaccines.

The research, published in Cell Reports earlier this month, says that the experiments are aimed at modeling feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) as used by transgender biological males transitioning to “female.”

According to the paper, “To investigate the immune effects of estrogen within a male biological system, we administered exogenous E2 [estrogen] to male RMs [rhesus monkeys], modeling FHT [feminizing hormone therapy] as prescribed to TGW [transgender women].” Twelve young male monkeys were divided into groups and implanted with slow-release pellets containing either estrogen or a placebo.

The results were grotesque.

“FHT [feminizing hormone therapy] induces physical changes in TGW [transgender women], such as breast development, fat and muscle redistribution, and reduction in facial hair. To determine whether exogenous E2 [estrogen] therapy triggered similar female characteristics in male RMs [rhesus monkeys], we evaluated body alterations in the E2-treated animals. We found that male RMs [rhesus monkeys] treated with E2 [estrogen], but not placebo, developed significantly enlarged nipples similar to those of non-pregnant non-lactating female macaques.”

The estrogen-treated males developed “significantly enlarged nipples similar to those of non-pregnant non-lactating female macaques.” Additionally, “skin in the [estrogen]-treated macaques’ hips and thighs also became increasingly reddish and vascularized in a manifestation that resembled sex skin.” To further disrupt their systems, the researchers “artificially disrupted immune homeostasis through LNP/mRNA vaccinations,” injecting the animals with mRNA-based vaccines.
