RFK Jr’s hand-picked CDC advisory panel recommends against combo vaccine for kids 

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s overhauled vaccine panel voted on Thursday to no longer recommend a combination shot protecting against chickenpox, measles, mumps and rubella for young children. 

In an 8-3 vote, with one member abstaining, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) decided against recommending the MMRV vaccine for children under the age of 4. 

The panel, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on which vaccines to recommend to the American public, said children younger than 4 should instead be immunized for varicella (the virus that causes chickenpox) separately from a combined shot for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). 

Concerns over the rare risk of fever-induced seizures related to MMRV vaccines were brought up by some members of the panel. 

Committee member Dr. Cody Meissner, who voted to continue recommending the MMRV vaccine for young children, described so-called “febrile seizures” as “a very frightening experience” for parents during the ACIP meeting.

RFK Jr. vaccine advisers to examine shots during pregnancy

A panel of federal vaccine advisers appointed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will launch a new review on the use of vaccines during pregnancy, the panel’s chair said.  

Martin Kulldorff, a statistician and former Harvard professor who chairs the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), made the announcement at the start of Thursday’s meeting, where panelists will consider recommendations related to the pediatric vaccine schedule, including hepatitis B. 

The panel is set to vote later Thursday on changing the current recommendation that infants receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth. 

Another working group will examine the vaccines given between childhood and adolescence, Kulldorff said. 

Most of the working groups consider a singular vaccine or group of related vaccines, Kulldorff noted, not broad categories or the entire concept of a vaccine schedule. 

Thursday’s meeting comes after a tense Senate hearing Wednesday where former CDC Director Susan Monarez testified she was fired after refusing to rubber-stamp the panel’s recommendations before they were made. Kennedy handpicked the panelists, many of whom are critical about vaccinations, after firing their predecessors 

In his opening remarks, Kulldorff challenged nine former heads of the CDC to a public debate on vaccination, after they accused him and the panelists of being unqualified and of spreading “dangerous and unscientific views.”  

“False accusations that we and other respectable vaccine scientists are unscientific and dangerous anti-vaxxers, that just adds legitimacy to anti-vax positions, damaging both public health and the confidence in vaccines,” Kulldorff said.  

Kulldorff said if the former directors won’t have a debate, they shouldn’t be trusted.

RFK Jr. Plans to Change Childhood Vaccine Schedule, Ousted CDC Director Says

Susan Monarez said during a Senate Health Committee hearing in Washington that Kennedy said during an Aug. 25 meeting that the childhood vaccine schedule would be changed in September.

“We got into an exchange where I had suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive, and he responded that there was no science or evidence associated with the childhood vaccine schedule,” Monarez said.

“Any potential changes to the childhood vaccine schedule will be based on the latest available science and only after the ACIP recommends it and the Acting CDC Director reviews and approves those recommendations,” a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC’s parent agency, told The Epoch Times in an email.

Monarez said, “The childhood vaccine schedule has been vetted and validated through science and evidence.”

Every vaccine on the schedule is important, she said.

Rand Paul Dismantles Ex-CDC Chief in Brutal Senate Showdown

Ex-CDC Director Dr. Susan Monarez testified today before the Senate HELP Committee in a desperate attempt to smear RFK Jr.’s name and build pressure for him to resign.

But things didn’t go according to plan. Senator Rand Paul wasn’t about to let that happen. After Monarez got a few softball questions from Bernie Sanders and others, Paul stepped in with the tough ones.

He started with the basics—asking if the COVID vaccines actually stop transmission.

PAUL: “Does the COVID vaccine prevent transmission?”

MONAREZ: “The COVID vaccine can reduce viral load in individuals who are—”

PAUL: “Does it prevent transmission?”

MONAREZ: “When you have reduced viral load… you will have reduced transmission.”

PAUL: “But in other words, it DOESN’T prevent transmission. You can still transmit the virus if you’ve had the vaccine.”

Fugitive Vaccine Researcher Behind Infamous ‘No Autism Link’ Study ARRESTED for Stealing $1 Million from CDC

Breitbart News has reported that Poul Thorsen, the Danish researcher whose work has been used for two decades to dismiss any link between vaccines and autism, has finally been arrested in Germany after more than a decade as a fugitive.

Thorsen, 64, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta in 2011 on 22 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors allege that from 2004 to 2010, he stole more than $1 million in CDC research funds—money intended to study autism, infant disabilities, genetic disorders, and fetal alcohol syndrome. According to the indictment, Thorsen funneled funds into his own accounts using fraudulent invoices on CDC letterhead.

He has been on the HHS “Most Wanted” list for over a decade. Acting on an INTERPOL red notice, German authorities finally took him into custody in June. The Department of Justice is now working with Germany to extradite him for trial in the United States.

‘PFIZERGATE’: EU Commission Forced To Admit That COVID ‘Vaccines’ Were Given to the Population Without ‘Complete Safety Data’

The COVID jabs were ineffective, untested and unsafe.

Whatever else happens in the career of the European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen, her legacy will always be tainted by the Pfizergate scandal.

It’s true that she did survive a motion of censure (or vote of no-confidence) that was brought by Romanian nationalist Gheorghe Piperea.

The author of the motion criticized the Commission’s refusal to disclose text messages between von der Leyen and the chief executive of vaccine maker Pfizer during the COVID-19 crisis.

But while the lack of transparency and suspicion of corruption are bad enough, there’s an even darker side to this story: as we all know, the mRNA shots were untested and unsafe.

Moderna’s COVID Shot Plasmid Contains Human Blood Gene Fragment Capable of Integrating Into DNA—Same System Dominating Post-Vaccine Injuries

Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine plasmid contains a human α-globin DNA fragment regulating blood and cardiovascular biology, and because plasmids are integration-competent DNA molecules, this fragment is capable of inserting into the human genome—precisely as blood and cardiovascular injuries like myocarditis and pericarditis emerge as the dominant serious adverse events following Moderna vaccination.

In plain terms, Moderna’s shot carries a piece of human blood gene code that can lodge itself into patient DNA, raising the possibility that the very blueprint of the vaccine is fueling the same heart and blood injuries now seen at the top of its safety reports.

While most public discussion blames the spike protein or lipid nanoparticles for Moderna’s adverse events, the evidence here points to something no one is talking about—the plasmid blueprint itself may be driving the blood and heart injuries dominating the safety signal.

A September 2025 peer-reviewed paper in Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids confirms that Moderna’s mRNA-1273 (Spikevax) vaccine plasmid carries a 3’ untranslated region (UTR) from the human α-globin (HBA1) gene.

  • α-globin encodes part of hemoglobin, central to red blood cell stability and oxygen transport.
  • Its regulation is directly tied to blood and cardiovascular function—mutations cause α-thalassemia, anemia, and cardiac stress.
  • By design, Moderna’s blueprint hard-codes this human blood gene regulator into the plasmid template.

The Strange Disappearance of the Word “Retarded” in the Vaccine Era

For decades, vaccines were recognized to cause brain injury and mental retardation.

So “retarded” was banned, the injuries were relabeled as autism, and autism’s ambiguity was used to hide it all.

Lived experiences were turned into word games. But the paper trail shows it was never an accident.

In this report, 

A Midwestern Doctor exposes the games that have been played to hide vaccine injuries for generations.

This information comes from the work of medical researcher A Midwestern Doctor. For all the sources and details, read the full report below.

‘Worrying’: RSV Shot Linked to Drug-Resistant Strains in Infants

A “substantial proportion” of infants immunized against the RSV virus with the monoclonal antibody shot nirsevimab — marketed by Sanofi and AstraZeneca as Beyfortus — developed a nirsevimab-resistant strain of the illness, according to a French study.

Over 12.5% of infants with breakthrough cases of RSV following immunization had variants of the illness with “intermediate to high-level resistance” to nirsevimab, including new strains of the virus not seen previously.

“The emergence of RSV-resistance described by this paper is simply incredible,” Children’s Health Defense Senior Scientist Karl Jablonowski said. He added:

“Most studies that shed light on the emergence of pathogens resistant to prophylaxis are population-wide and after many years of their use. Examples include the pertussis vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine and the meningitis vaccine.

“This paper appears to show, with a high degree of certainty, the genesis of resistance.”

The study, designed to monitor escape variants of the virus and published on The Lancet’s preprint server, was conducted by a team of researchers from hospitals and research institutions across France.

The preprint follows a peer-reviewed paper published in The Lancet earlier this year by some of the same authors showing escape variants among a smaller number of infants. However, that study concluded the emergence of mutated variants was rarer.

The RSV monoclonal antibody shots were approved by the European Union and the U.K. in November 2022 and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2023.

In September 2023, France was one of the first countries to launch a national immunization campaign with nirsevimab for newborns.

Many countries, including the U.S., followed France’s lead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added the shots to the childhood immunization schedule, recommending that either pregnant mothers get vaccinated or newborns get the monoclonal antibody shot.

Warp Speed 2.0: Trump Administration ACCELERATES Gates-funded, self-amplifying bird flu vaccines

The Trump administration has once again thrown its weight behind controversial vaccine technologies, this time by granting Fast Track designation to ARCT-2304, a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza. Developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, this vaccine is part of a broader strategy to prepare for future pandemics, but it also rekindles the contentious legacy of Operation Warp Speed. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), which played a central role in the rapid development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, is once again at the helm, raising serious questions about the safety and efficacy of these experimental technologies.

Key points:

• The Trump administration has granted Fast Track designation to ARCT-2304, a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza.

• BARDA, a key player in Operation Warp Speed, is funding and accelerating the development of this next-generation vaccine technology.

• The vaccine, developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, uses self-replicating mRNA that amplifies immune response within the body’s cells.

• The FDA’s Fast Track designation aims to expedite the review process, raising concerns about the rapid deployment of experimental technologies.

• The Gates Foundation has committed $782,543 to support the project, further entrenching the public-private partnership model.

• This fast track explains why Gates and Trump met and had a good three hour meeting after Trump was elected in 2024.

A history of hasty vaccine development

Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s flagship initiative during the early stages of the COVID-19 scandal, was lauded for its speed but criticized for its lack of transparency and the potential risks it posed to public health. The rapid development and emergency authorization of mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, while credited with saving lives, also caused significant side effects and the long-term impacts of these novel technologies. The ARCT-2304 vaccine, which uses self-replicating mRNA, is the latest in a series of fast-tracked projects that continue to push the boundaries of what is considered safe and ethical in vaccine development.

The dangers of self-amplifying mRNA technology

Self-amplifying mRNA vaccines, like ARCT-2304, are designed to replicate within the body’s cells, potentially triggering a stronger immune response at lower doses. While this may sound promising, the technology remains largely experimental, and the long-term effects are not yet fully understood. The rapid replication of mRNA within cells could lead to unintended consequences, such as overstimulation of the immune system, which might result in severe adverse reactions. Moreover, the use of self-replicating RNA raises concerns about genetic modification and the potential for unintended genetic changes in the host.
