When the nation’s top health agency pulled back its Covid shot recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women this spring, it didn’t just alter medical guidance — it touched off a firestorm in the pediatric establishment.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy announced in May that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is no longer recommending healthy children and pregnant women routinely get the Covid shot. Several medical associations came unglued. They maintained such an action would lead to illness and death.
The American Academy of Pediatrics stated they would come up with their own recommendations despite CDC guidance.
Bear in mind the CDC did not say you couldn’t get the Covid shot if you wanted it. It was just not recommended for healthy children and pregnant women. Covid jabs should still be used in high risk individuals and those over 65. The guidance further stated that the decision to vax or not vax should be between the parent and the doctor. The idea of shared decision making.
Secretary Kennedy also fired the 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and brought on replacements. Most of these replacements, although well respected in their field, were viewed to be anti-vaxxers.
The ACIP changeout and the new Covid recommendations for infants and pregnant women led to a melt down by various medical groups and mainstream media. The new ACIP met in June and made recommendations on flu and respiratory syncytial virus that were similar to previous recommendations except it recommended the use of thimerosal-free (mercury-free) single-dose formulations.
In addition, Secretary Kennedy also decided to exclude medical associations such as the American Pediatric Academy, the American Medical Association and other top medical organizations from working with the advisers to establish vaccination recommendations.
In July, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, American Public Health Association, Infectious Diseases Society of America, Massachusetts Public Health Alliance, Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and a pregnant physician, filed suit in American Academy of Pediatrics v. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in the US District Court. The suit was to defend the vaccine policy as it had existed pre-Secretary Kennedy.
For the first time in 30 years, the AAP dramatically diverged from federal vaccine recommendations.
The AAP released its vaccine recommendations this week and strongly recommended Covid-19 shots for children ages 6 months to 2 years. AAP also said that if parents wanted older children vaccinated, they should be.
Dr. James Campbell, the vice chair of the AAP infectious disease committee, stated it’s going to be confusing for people with two different recommendations out there. But AAP believes it is necessary to protect our children. AAP also said in its statement that by strongly recommending the jab they hope insurance companies will cover payment.
The AAP represents 67,000 pediatricians and guess what? It gets substantial funding from Big Pharma including vaccine makers. It also received tens of millions of dollars in funding from the federal government to push vaccines and quell “misinformation.” Can you say, “conflict of interest”?
Secretary Kennedy believes the shot presents a greater risk than Covid itself for most children. There have been many studies on vaccine injuries — most notably in the area of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men. And the number of children who die from Covid infection is extremely low, with none in Alaska.
The Covid virus continues to morph, with no guarantee the “current” shot will “protect” against the current strain.
The only good thing I saw in this whole discussion is that the decision to vax or not vax needs to be made between the doctor and the parent. However, will there be true informed consent if the pediatrician is just following what its medical association tells him or her to do?
Will there be true informed consent if a physician’s bonus is dependent on the percentage of children vaccinated?
Yep. Once again follow the money.

Would all the airheads please stand up and raise your right hand to swear approval of this message!!
And Ms Boyle had a “meltdown” because thousands of doctors are outraged that the addict in charge of the nation’s health is a nitwit committed to undermining medical science 🙂
What is the impact on who pays for vaccinations when they are not recommended by CDC???
While there are still excellent physicians out there, as a whole they have become ravenous clowns. Sad really that an entire generation of med students was taught not to think.
Professional organizations are not in the business of doing good. They are in the business of business. The AMA and the others are just as corrupt as they can be, with Big Pharma leading the way. It’s worse in psychiatry, and there is little accountability. It isn’t just medical professionals, either. I gave up my membership in the AIA once I discovered it was expensive and mostly just meant getting a ton of junk email about insurance. They never solved any of the tort legislation that harms the practice, even though they claim to fight that fight. People think that putting AMA or AIA after you name proves you are a professional. It does not. It just means you pay dues to a money-making organization. I’ll trust RFK, thanks.
People, the problem is we simply refuse to accept our designated role in the USA: which is, as ‘sheep to be shorn.’ Big Business knows the role of our government is to ensure we ‘sheeple’ keep forking over our income to them, by law! So: break out your wallets, folks- big business needs you!

Fixed it for you, Suzanne.
Thanks – sd
If the K in RFK Jr didn’t stand for Kennedy he would be just another Internet troll posting anti vaccine garbage from his basement in his underpants rather than being Health Secretary.
It’s a good thing we have you and your sophisticated intelligent input here to set us all straight. And here I thought Kennedy was the name of your hero.
Sebastian, it is a pity that you are so absolutely blind to reality. Sadly you ascribe to the logical fallacy of a credentialed argument, despite the hard cold evidence in plain sight. Your wolves in white coats and their corporate masters of big pharma have betrayed you Sebastion, and yet you in perfect obedience follow, bleating nonsense like your comment above. Pathetic.
The data seems pretty clear at this point. The COVID shots are neither as safe or as effective as had been hoped. The concept of vaccinating pregnant women, infants, and children with largely untested vaccines is malpractice. Yet, the federal government, and professional organizations, strongly encouraged (even demanded) just that. There have been scientific reports showing that increasing the number of times vaccinated corresponds to increased rates of more serious infection. Now that we have a lot more data on the safety of these vaccines, I personally don’t advise anybody to get them without a really good reason.
THANK YOU, Linda for not losing steam on this vital issue! The vaccines are not effective and not safe. The data is so clear that any doctor saying otherwise should immediately have their license suspended. Without true and full informed consent, the ability to hold vaccine manufacturers liable, or eliminating the financial incentive for pushing poison on our kids, we NEED informed and transparent voices like yours to help spread truth!

That’s what the over the top support for gender reassignment surgeries and other medical intervention was all about, to keep the endless $$$ flow intact and growing for the foreseeable future. If they’re not making $$$, they don’t care. Cheers –
Wow! Here’s Secretary Kennedy’s X post saying that any recommendations that diverge from the CDC’s official list are liable and not protected: “AAP should also be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC’s official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act.”
Are pediatricians ready to take on the liability for adverse vaccinations that are not covered by the Vaccine Injury Act? Good luck.
RFKjr was asked during his confirmation hearing about the conflict of interest between his new position and his law firm, which specializes in lawsuits against vaccine mfgs. He responded that he’s resolving the conflict of interest by signing over the 10% cut of lawsuit settlements that he gets to HIS SON.
Yep, follow the money.
