Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leads the US Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Marty Makary heads up the Food and Drug Administration. They are reforming the drug/vaccine approval process to ensure gold-standard research is followed.
Dr. Makary, a Johns Hopkins University surgeon and researcher, practices surgical oncology and gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery.
Just recently, Dr. Makary raised doubts about all Americans needing that seventh Covid booster and questioned the “success of past clinical trials.” Makary stated better data are needed.
“We can’t just extrapolate from a clinical trial from four or five years ago,” he said. “Americans have a very low uptake and a very low confidence of the Covid boosters right now.”
Some 85% of healthcare workers didn’t take that last booster jab, Makary said, and he acknowledged that asking drug companies to change their approach to Covid jabs may mean there will not be a new booster in the fall.
The FDA also is considering whether Covid boosters should only be given primarily to high-risk groups, rather than to all people. It is expected within the next few days the FDA will come out with a statement that Covid jabs will no longer be recommended for children, teens, and pregnant women. This is a huge change.
Using risk assessment, recommendations may be made that only those older than 65 would still need at least two doses a year along with those people who have an underlying health condition that increases their risk.
To satisfy those who may be wanting to still get the seventh booster, they will still have that option.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice is expected to vote on this potentially new guidance in June. The panel’s decision will influence how the federal government supports immunizations, including how insurance companies are required to cover vaccines and how doctors talk about the shots to their patients.
In discussing changes to the approval process, Dr. Makary wants to make the rules clear and transparent. There is the expectation that the Emergency Use Authorization, which has been used for the Covid jabs since 2020, will no longer apply to future Covid jabs.
I have often wondered why that rule was still in effect, concerning the fact that then President Biden had declared the pandemic over on May 11, 2023. Why was EUA still used? Oh wait. Best course of action for Big Pharma.
Makary’s approach to Covid-19 jabs certainly is different from the FDA under Biden. During those years, the FDA routinely just rubber stamped the jab’s annual booster.
Makary said that it is his job to “upholding gold standard science and rebuilding public trust, not to save pharma companies tens of millions of dollars.”
Dr. Vinay Prasad was recently appointed director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. His background is in hematology-oncology, and he is professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco.
Prasad is currently meeting with the industry and agency staffers as he prepares to unveil a “massive framework,” that will incorporate the agency’s regulatory stance on vaccines, according to Makary.
There is a lot going on to change the vaccine approval process, to provide the public valuable information to have real informed consent, and to gain public trust. I don’t expect Big Pharma to be too happy. The gravy train is coming to a halt.
Maybe now more legal action will ensue as we learn more about what these vaccine manufacturers hid from Americans.
Mary Holland, CEO of Children’s Health Defense, has been actively “working to protect individual liberties, including the right to bodily autonomy, informed consent and parental rights.”
I am pleased to announce Mary Holland will be one of the speakers at our upcoming Alaskans 4 Personal Freedom (www.AK4PF.org) conference on Oct. 11, 2025, in Anchorage. Stay tuned for more information and save the date!

Covid 19 is a hoax.
Seek professional help. I assume you also think the earth is flat and that evolution is “just a theory.”
Ironically cman, I am with you. The Covid 19 virus was not a hoax.
The vaccines on the other hand were over-sold in their actual effectiveness in preventing disease and side effects to this day are not all that clear.
Oh almost forgot, cman the primordial soup evolutionary claim is to this day a THEORY! Just saying…..
You clearly don’t understand what a theory actually is.
I have a theory. My theory is that no matter what conservatives say — whether it be boys are boys and girls are girls, or Covid mRNA vaccines have hazards (and I call your attention to this: ‘https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/cmte_testimony/2024/fin/10_vwl0LiIsM5OIfVaDsAT3H3-NNYwfBh.pdf) — you will be Mr. Opposite. Why? Because that is your nature. My theory is well proven here on these pages: You are the official court jester now that Greg Forkner has been apparently banished for trollishness.
Sure I do. A theory is in essence an educated guess, base on some facts and suppositions. It lacks indisputable proof.
Every writing about the primordial soup has “hypothetical” “may” or other quantifying descriptors.
The real problem here:
IF inorganic compounds supposedly spontaneously formed organic material and created the vast variety of lifeforms, way back billions of years ago, WHY have we never seen a similar event in all the intervening years?
So cman the origin of life from the primordial ooze is still a THEORY!
Here Cman is again making assumptions about others.
Cman, you are so quick to put people into boxes and assign them labels. This only reveals how boxed in your own mind is.
Covid19 was not a hoax, it was an orchestrated attempt to drive people to accept social engineering under the guise of “protecting public health”. Wanna know why they used the term “herd immunity” so much? Is it because you followers of the cult are considered sheep. Baa baa mufuqer
If anyone is still taking Covid shots and/or getting their children Covid shots – I genuinely feel sorry for you.
Jeez.
Agreed. I hope you also have never and will never take a vaccine.
Why?
While your world sadly appears to be “all or nothing”, other individuals have the right and are clearly able to critically think and decide on an individual basis which vaccine has merit (and a proven track record) and which has questionable properties.
A total kook running HHS and some fellow kooks commenting here.
The irony of that statement coming from you is just too much😂
Anyone listen to dying Scott Adams on the VAXX?If not do it.
Where is Greg? He was a big covid shot supporter, 🤔 hmm
Following the science on the covid shot is horrifying.
