It’s been known for some time that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would be making changes to Covid jab recommendations .
When he announced that on May 27, the media and medical organizations went into a frenzy to decry this decision. No longer would Covid jabs be recommended to children, infants, and pregnant women. The only people who would be recommended for Covid-19 jabs are those over 65 and people with existing health problems.
In the five days since this announcement, a flurry of articles has appeared. Let’s recap.
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in a statement that the organization is “concerned about and extremely disappointed” by the new recommendations. Dr. Steven J. Fleischman, ACOC President, stated, “As ob-gyns who treat patients every day, we have seen first hand how dangerous COVID-19 infection can be during pregnancy and for newborns who depend on maternal antibodies from the vaccine for protection.”
- The American Academy of Pediatrics also was upset with this ruling and stated that removal of recommended Covid jabs from the schedule “ignores independent medical experts and leaves children at risk.” While this organization has routinely depended on the CDC for recommended childhood vaccines, it told MedPage Today that it “may have to rethink how we harmonize with the federal government.”
- The New York Times conceded there isn’t scientific evidence to support vaccination among healthy children. However, the Times felt this move by RFK Jr. of “dismantling decades of vaccine safety policies” troubling.
- The FDA announced plans to limit approvals for updated COVID-19 vaccines to people over age 65 and people with one or more health conditions that put them at high risk for the virus. Based on these criteria, the FDA said between 100-200 million Americans would still be eligible for the shots because “so many people have conditions that are considered comorbidities”.
- Others called out the process behind the decision for not following the “normal process” through the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
- ACIP met in April and discussed this issue extensively. A poll of members at that time showed 76% of the members supported changing the recommendations from all people under 65 to only high risk individuals.
- Others were concerned that if the jab were no longer routinely recommended, the insurance companies may not pay for it. The shot runs about $200.
- Daily, the MSM checked the CDC web page to see if the recommended changes were made with articles being written to say the changes had not occurred. The changes occurred on 29 May—two days after the announcement, but fell short of what RFK Jr. had hoped.
- The CDC issued new immunization schedules that changed the language on its recommendation. No longer is it routinely recommended; instead, it states that healthy children “may” still get the jab. This was the same language used for women who are pregnant. The decision to get or not get the jab should be based on “shared clinical decision-making,” between the parent(s)and the provider.
It is thought the language in the new guidance will allow parents to get their children the jab and have insurance companies pay for it.
I doubt the food fight is over. There is too much financially at stake. Big Pharma’s stocks are dropping. Those who have pushed these jabs for years aren’t willing to give up the fight.
Always follow the money. Big Pharma has been vaccinated with billions of dollars. Consequently, its resistance to change has high immunity.
RFK, Jr. and his team have an uphill battle. Yet it is for the good of the American citizen. I pray they are successful.
Linda Boyle, RN, MSN, DM, was formerly the chief nurse for the 3rd Medical Group, JBER, and was the interim director of the Alaska VA. Most recently, she served as Director for Central Alabama VA Healthcare System. She is the director of the Alaska Covid Alliance/Alaskans 4 Personal Freedom.
As a physician, I believed from the beginning that it was malpractice to give COVID-19 vaccinations to pregnant women, infants, and children. We did not have enough data at that time to demonstrate that the shots were safe and effective. Unfortunately, there is still a paucity of evidence that they are either safe or significantly effective. I don’t agree with Kennedy on everything, to be sure, but he got this one right, as far as it goes. I am not convinced that the shots should routinely be given to anyone. It is possible that they do help some people, but they definitely harm others.
Amen Brother my family’s thoughts exactly.
When the jab first came out, I read that this was intended to be effective for people over 75. It is still intended, I believe to only minimize any fatal effects of Covid for people over 75.
That’s it. Am I wrong, Doctor?
Thank you for the summary. 😐
Next is for the U.S. Government to revoke the immunity shield the COVID-19 manufacturers have enjoyed from those that have suffered side effects, injuries and loved ones deaths from the “jab”.
Be smart.
Do not see doctors that are part of the corporate medical complex.
Look for doctors, that are entrepreneurial, that have their own practices – they can still “practice medicine” versus the corporate hacks that have mandated practices and protocols for any ailment – it’s all part of mandating practices and procedures for profitability – the patient be damned.
If your doctor pushed the Covid “vaccine” on you they are a “hack” – you should never see them again.
Look for private practice homeopathic and naturopathic doctors that look at prescription drugs as the last resort, not the knee jerk response because they get a commi$$ion.
Interesting that “professionals” still believe the shots actually worked as described. They did not. Not by a long shot.
How about people fill themselves with healthy ingredients and leave the synth pharma products alone for a while?
Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Let’s celebrate RFK and his good thinking and do away with idiot persons like the worried author, Lying Mealy Mouthed Adam Crumb and radical idiots like Dr Zinke. Above all, celebrate the liberal Dunleavy’s last year in the governor’s seat. Thank goodness he will be gone! Alaska, look to finding some good thinking management people that can handle a governor position. Even if the state has to look far and wide,
I am extremely pleased at the work RFK Jr and his Directors are now engaging in.
Exposing the deeds of the Evil Empire 😈 called medicine is long overdue. Let them squeal all they want.
Medical dogma. COVID 19 shots have become part of their new religion. Remember when Alaskan physicians banded together and wrote a public letter condemning doctors who did not follow the dogma? Remember how they demanded those doctors lose their state medical licenses? I do.
And those few, very courageous and honest doctors turned out to be right! I encourage folks to start watching The High Wire, hosted by Del Bigtree, (thehighwire.com), to discover more information concerning the issues that the “dogma bucking mavericks” were (and are) right about.
I believe saw that the OBGYN Assoc. applauded the new ruling.
I strongly encourage all radical leftists to ignore HHS Secretary Kennedy and to continue taking their clot shot boosters regularly and indefinitely.
Preferably get Pfizer boosters, since Pfizer’s CEO is a veterinarian.
All the above medical institutess are squelling because they have lost?? have lost their “Money pig”..
Why the melt down?
Has the COVID jab been banned? No.
Does this change the cost to administer? No.
.
So… why the meltdown? I do not think it has anything to do with healthcare decisions. I am pretty sure it is 100% political reasons. President Trump and RFK Jr. are nasty evil double horrible Republicans (ZOMG!!! The HORRORS!) and any decisions they make are by definition wrong, harmful, and frightening to kittens. If RFK Jr. said fresh air and exercise is good, the medical community would be equally devastated.
The meltdown is because the removal from those 2 recommendations is a big step towards loss of legal immunity from liability.
not to worry smart people. you’ll get another “go” to prove your theories.
buckle up kiddos. another new variant that evades prior shots efficacy is ramping up in China this week. Xi is using effect and effective state suppression interests to suppress info, he doesn’t need murduck media.
so far no swamping of hospitals but suppressed sewage testing says ramping up fast with no know strategy to stop the spread, ie, no vaccine.
should be fun times coming soon. for those of you keeping score? the “old” covid still killing 350 people a week. one way to cut expenses and cull the low earners
