FDA Requires Vaccine Makers to Include Febrile Seizure Warning on Flu Shot Labels

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified six influenza vaccine manufacturers on Jan. 9, 2026 that they must add a warning about the risk of febrile (fever) seizures to their product information labels, citing newly identified postmarketing safety data. The notices, issued under the FDA’s statutory authority to mandate safety labeling changes, were sent to Sanofi, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), and CSL Seqirus.1

According to the FDA, observational analyses conducted during the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 influenza seasons identified a statistically significant increase in seizures caused by fevers occurring within one day of vaccination among children aged six months through four years, prompting the agency to conclude the findings constitute “new safety information” requiring disclosure in product labeling. In its notification letter, the FDA stated that the results of the analyses “suggest a causal relationship”—language the agency typically avoids unless compelled by evidence.2

The data suggested an “estimated attributable risk of 21.2 excess febrile seizure episodes per million standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccinations” and “an attributable risk of 44.2 excess febrile seizure episodes per million standard doses of trivalent [influenza] vaccinations.”

Risk of Febrile Seizures May Increase After Childhood Vaccinations

The Mayo Clinic website states that in some infants and young children fevers can cause convulsions (seizures). Doctors generally describe “simple” febrile seizures as associated with fevers over 100 F, short-lived and typically harmless, although “complex” febrile seizures can last longer than 15 minutes and occur more than once in a 24-hour period.3

It has been acknowledged in the medical literature that convulsions can include an increased risk of future epilepsy (uncontrolled seizure disorder).4 5 Febrile seizures have also been associated with a spectrum of brain dysfunction and rarely, severe brain injury or death.6 7

Bioengineer Brian Hooker, PhD said he disagrees with febrile seizures being characterized as harmless. He said:

Any seizure is bad, period. Mild’ febrile seizures can double a child’s chance of an epilepsy diagnosis and ‘complex’ febrile seizures—lasting more than 15 minutes —can increase that risk up to 10 times.8

On the topic of febrile seizures and childhood vaccines, Mayo Clinic states:

The risk of febrile seizures may increase after some childhood vaccinations. These include the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine and the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine. A child can develop a low-grade fever after a vaccination. The fever, not the vaccine, causes the seizure.9

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledges that some vaccines are associated with a higher risk of febrile seizures than others, particularly in infants and young children, and that the risk increases when certain vaccines—such as the influenza, pneumococcal (PCV13), and DTaP vaccines—are administered during the same visit.

The agency also notes that measles-containing vaccines, especially the MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) combination, are associated with a higher risk of febrile seizures than their single-component counterparts, and that these events tend to occur within specific post-vaccination time windows. Still, CDC guidance emphasizes that the overall risk is small, that febrile seizures are typically short-lived and without lasting harm, and that vaccination should continue according to the recommended schedule.10

Scientists want to use self-amplifying mRNA to vaccinate those who do not want to be vaccinated

Newly published research papers demonstrate that gain-of-function research designed to investigate the effects of deadly pathogens is still continuing. In the course of research, live mice are being exposed to deadly doses of laboratory-built recombinant synthetic H5N1 viruses with codon optimisation, which boosts expression in human cells and cleavage site enhancement linked to viral virulence.  Lethal doses of synthetic viral material containing artificial DNA sequences are being forced into animals using lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”) and electrical pulses. The aim of the research is to develop replicon mRNA vaccines and treatment strategies but alarmingly, the work is being partially funded by the US defence establishment and there are ties to multinational pharmaceutical companies.

A paper was published on 13 January 2026 in Nature Communications is entitled ‘Intranasal replicon vaccine establishes mucosal immunity and protects against H5N1 and H7N9 influenza’. It reports the development of a self-replicating mRNA vaccine targeted at H5N1 and H7N9 viruses – so-called avian or bird flu viruses. The vaccine is administered with an intranasal spray, which is designed to attach itself to the nasal mucosa via a nanostructured lipid carrier and then replicate itself like a virus in the human body. The research was funded by the Department of Defence of the US government. One of the stated aims of the research is to develop proof of concept for an mRNA vaccine delivery system, which will overcome vaccine hesitancy and reach whole populations rapidly.

In a parallel development, an international team of researchers from USA, Canada and the EU have used so-called gain-of-function methods to design, engineer and test synthetic versions of the H5N1 bird flu virus’s hemagglutinin protein – one of the key components that allows the virus to infect cells. Their results are reported in a Nature paper entitled ‘Electroporation and LNP-mediated delivery of plasmid DNA-encoded H5N1 influenza virus hemagglutinin support protection against highly pathogenic avian influenza’. In summary, the paper reports that researchers have produced synthetic versions of a dangerous flu component and injected them into mice. They then exposed the animals to very deadly strains of the H5N1 virus to see how well their synthetic constructs functioned. Their research was funded by a US federal vaccine-development initiative said to be designed to prepare for future influenza outbreaks using rapidly adaptable genetic platforms. 

Scientists are creating novel genetic viral pathogenic sequences and then saying we need to be protected from them. In other words, they are posing as saviours when they are the ultimate sinners.

The senior scientist involved, David B. Weiner, disclosed paid relationships with Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Inovio, Flagship and other commercial biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical companies.

These reports demonstrate how the type of dangerous research which likely created covid-19 is still being conducted in laboratories around the world. If New Zealand were to pass the Gene Technology Bill, it is likely that our laboratories will be co-opted by the lure of lucrative funding to participate in such collaborative research projects, despite the fact that the FBI, CIA, MI6, BND and other international intelligence organisations have confirmed that the covid pandemic was likely the result of laboratory-engineered pathogen manipulation.

Make your feelings known. Our voice is more powerful than we realise. Do not get distracted by the injustices of the past to the extent of ignoring the very real threats that are being developed around us. We need a better future than the one that is currently being planned, created and curated for us.

Ex-CDC Director Bashes COVID Vaccine in Explosive New Statement

He says public health officials “totally misplayed” the rollout of the shot, which was “never meant to prevent transmission.” In fact, the shot is “more like medicine” than a vaccine because “it doesn’t stop infections,” Dr. Redfield explained.

“The problem is not the science of creating the vaccine. The problem was the public policy and how to use the vaccine. The vaccine should have never been mandated. It was never meant to prevent transmission. It didn’t prevent transmission. It probably was a misnomer to call it a vaccine.

“It’s really more like a medicine. It doesn’t stop infection. Children should have never been vaccinated. People shouldn’t have been mandated to be vaccinated to go to school and work. So the policy side was totally misplayed,” Dr. Redfield said.

Texas AG Starts Investigation Into Vaccine-Related Financial Incentives

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Jan. 21 said he’s investigating incentives related to vaccinating children.

Paxton’s office said in a statement that the probe will cover pediatricians, insurers, vaccine companies, and other entities “engaged in deceptive or unlawful conduct by failing to disclose financial incentives connected to their administration of childhood vaccines.”

It noted that some pediatricians kick out families that refuse to adhere to a vaccine schedule and that doctors can receive bonuses for vaccinating.

An Epoch Times investigation found that insurers have offered bonuses as high as $400 per child as an incentive to vaccinate patients.

Paxton is issuing civil investigative demands for information to companies, including UnitedHealthcare and Pfizer.

“I will ensure that Big Pharma and Big Insurance don’t bribe medical providers to pressure parents to jab their kids with vaccines they feel aren’t safe or necessary,” Paxton said in a statement.

He said that Texans “deserve to have full faith in the recommendations of their medical providers—particularly when it involves the health of their children” and that “any provider or entity whose medical guidance is fueled by financial incentives from an insurance company, Big Pharma, or otherwise will be exposed.”

Paxton’s office did not respond to a request for more information.

UnitedHealthcare had said in a document, which was taken down after The Epoch Times’ story was published, that doctors were eligible for bonuses for patients who received vaccines against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and human papillomavirus.

The Epoch Times reached out to UnitedHealthcare and Pfizer for comment, but they did not respond by publication time.

Studies have found that vaccinations can be profitable, including a 2020 paper. Some doctors have said in surveys that they can lose money on vaccines due to certain factors, such as low reimbursements.

Texas Air-Drops Live Virus-Containing Edible Rabies Vaccines Over Cities from Aircraft—’Leaving Persons at Risk for Vaccine Exposure and Vaccine Virus Infection’: CDC

The Texas Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) has begun its annual distribution of RABORAL V-RG®, an oral rabies vaccine (ORV) bait—dropping the live laboratory-made virus from airplanes over Texas, as well as distributing it by hand.

The $2 million annual project is funded by the State of Texas and the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service/Wildlife Services.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has known for over a decade that the RABORAL edible vaccine leaves “persons at risk for vaccine exposure and vaccine virus infection.”

Yet the department still allows millions of live genetically modified virus baits to be dispersed over communities, forests, and waterways each year without public notice, informed consent, or comprehensive biosafety oversight—posing potential risks to human health, wildlife, and national biosecurity.

Americans are being involuntarily exposed to laboratory-engineered pathogens capable of infecting multiple species, with no transparent risk disclosure or opt-out mechanism.

‘Long COVID’ or COVID-19 Vaccine Injury?

The study is titled “Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients”. It’s by Alain R. Theirry et al. and was published in the Journal of Medical Virology on October 2, 2025.

To be clear, the authors of the study do not suggest that the patients’ symptoms had been caused by vaccination.

In fact, it was funded in part by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, which owns a holding company that is the majority voting shareholder in the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk and has investments in vaccine companies.

(This is documented by Dr. Brian Hooker, Dr. Jeet Varia, and me in our May 2025 paper in the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, in which we show how a Danish study by Anders Hviid et al. 2019 was effectively designed to find no association between the measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR] vaccine and autism. See the section of our paper on the authors’ conflicts of interest.)

Given that funding source, you wouldn’t expect this study’s authors to draw attention to a connection between COVID‑19 vaccines and the syndrome labelled “Long COVID”.

You can imagine how scientists wouldn’t want to risk future funding by doing such a thing. Nobody wants to destroy their own career.

Consider, for instance, how Dr. Marcus Zervos, an infectious disease specialist at Henry Ford Health in Michigan, agreed to do a study comparing rates of chronic illnesses between vaccinated and unvaccinated children on the grounds it would help put to rest widespread parental concerns about vaccine safety, but then he refused to publish the study because it found that the unvaccinated children were healthier.

You’ll be told by public vaccine policy apologists that the reason the study was never published is because it was so fatally flawed, but the arguments used to support that conclusion are wholly spurious, as I detailed in my December 8 article “Scientific Data Show Unvaccinated Children Are Healthier”. All the lame excuses for the study being suppressed are designed to deflect attention from the fact that Zervos himself said he didn’t want to publish it because it could end his career.

While Theirry et al. do not say anything explicitly about it, their study does implicate COVID‑19 vaccines as a potential cause of patients’ “Long COVID” symptoms.

For context, remember that the mRNA COVID‑19 vaccines were designed to deliver messenger RNA into human cells to cause cellular production of the spike protein of SARS‑CoV‑2. The aim was to cause the immune system to mount a protective response to this protein.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with the rest of the so-called “public health” establishment, lied that the mRNA would remain at the injection site and would be eliminated from the body within days.

Vaccine Hesitancy Reflects Appropriate Concerns

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers vaccine hesitancy one of the top ten threats to global health. If that is the case, is it always a bad thing? AlterAI assisted with this analysis.

The Lancet manuscript “Profiling vaccine attitudes and subsequent uptake in 1.1 million people in England: a nationwide cohort study” (Whitaker et al, 2026) presents one of the most exhaustive longitudinal analyses of COVID‑19 vaccine hesitancy ever conducted. Using data from the Real‑time Assessment of Community Transmission (REACT) study, the researchers tracked English adults’ views and actions surrounding vaccination between January 2021 and March 2022, linking survey responses with verified NHS vaccination records.

  • Population: Over 1.1 million adults (aged ≥ 18 years; 57% female).
  • Initial hesitancy: At the beginning of 2021, 8% were hesitant about vaccination.
  • Hesitancy decline: By early 2022, the hesitant fraction dropped to roughly 1%.
  • Behavioral outcome: Among those initially hesitant, 65% later received at least one vaccine dose.

This significant attitudinal shift demonstrates that while early-stage doubts about vaccine safety and efficacy were widespread, the majority were transient and susceptible to persuasion, propaganda, and mandates.

95% of Measles Cases Classified as ‘Unvaccinated or Unknown,’ Obscuring Actual Vaccination Status: CDC Data

New data published last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 95% of U.S. measles cases in 2026 are classified as “Unvaccinated or Unknown.”

However, the agency’s own table makes clear that this figure does not mean 95% of cases occurred in confirmed unvaccinated individuals.

Instead, the CDC combines two fundamentally different categories—“unvaccinated” and “vaccination status unknown”—into a single percentage, preventing the public from knowing how many cases actually involved confirmed unvaccinated people.

The CDC does not disclose how much of the 95% figure represents:

  • individuals confirmed to be unvaccinated, versus
  • individuals whose vaccination records were unavailable, missing, or not verified

As a result, the public cannot determine whether most measles cases occurred in unvaccinated individuals or simply in individuals whose vaccination status was never established.

Emails show Fauci, Collins plotting to circumvent ‘impressive’ data for COVID natural immunity

The Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show.

The Freedom of Information Act production to Protect the Public’s Trust, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, gives the most compelling evidence to date that federal officials knew their pending mandates were scientifically shaky yet repeatedly asserted in public – misrepresenting federal research – that natural immunity couldn’t match vaccine-acquired immunity.

The emails add heft to prior claims by a now-former Food and Drug Administration adviser, going back four years, that the feds ultimately rejected natural immunity as an exemption to vaccine mandates for bureaucratic reasons and kept pushing vaccines on all ages and conditions for the sake of simpler messaging, not science.

They also reaffirm the glaring lack of rigorous research by U.S. institutions on basic questions about SARS-CoV-2 and treatment outcomes, with many of the most important findings coming from abroad. The abnormally high risk of heart inflammation in young people post-vaccination, for example, emerged from Israeli data and institutions.

It’s just “more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning,” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told DCNF, blasting officials for trying to “bury what didn’t fit their preferred narrative” and Americans’ reliance on “Israeli research for their health information” despite billions in federal funding.

Air Force Blocks Retirement of Exemplary Officer and Discharges Her Over Lawful Objections to Vaccines

An exemplary Air Force officer is losing her retirement after a Board of Inquiry abruptly closes the door on her.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Davis Younts, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer, who now serves as Maj. Kim Bitter’s legal counsel. Upon thoroughly assessing her career, he said, “She has had an outstanding career. No issues. No misconduct. You’ll find nothing negative about her service. Her character and integrity have never been questioned.”

Rather what has been repeatedly observed is the military pretending as though First Amendment rights do not apply to service members, the very individuals who have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

During the COVID-19 era, Maj. Bitter filed a request for a medical exemption from the shot due to a preexisting health condition. Even though a doctor advised her against the shot, the military rejected her request. She also filed for a religious accommodation, but that request was denied as well. Violation of her rights, number one, but read on about the impending atrocities.

Younts said, “Major Kim Bitter was literally eight points—two drill periods— away from having 20 good years of service.” She was just one drill weekend away from being eligible to retire from the Air Force Reserve.

Maj. Bitter would be out-processed to Inactive Ready Reserve and placed in a no points, no pay status for two and a half years as punishment for opposing the shot, which has now been declared “unlawful as implemented.”

“Because of the no points, no pay status that she’s been put on,” Younts said, “she’s been prohibited from reaching 20 years [to become eligible for retirement].”

Despite being allowed to return to drill, she was again put on a no points, no pay status over her objections to the flu and typhoid vaccines, resulting her discharge from the Air Force Reserve.

This week, Maj. Bitter was sent to a Board of Inquiry (BOI) facing accusations of “dereliction of duty, unlawful drug use, and violating a lawful order to get the flu vaccine and typhoid vaccine,” Younts shared.

“What came out and was clear from the Board is no in command or in JAG channels realized that dereliction of duty is not a legally sufficient basis to discharge someone [emphasis mine].” Why wouldn’t the Board or the JAG officers be aware of this?

The accusation involved nothing more than being blamed for failing to complete a task during a power outage at Travis Air Force Base, which prevented her from accessing the systems needed to perform the work assigned to her.
