Monday was a very good day for the MAHA movement. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. fired the entire 17-member vaccine advisory panel at the CDC. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was formed in 1964 under the disastrous Lyndon Johnson administration. This is the first time that the entire committee has been fired in one fell swoop. It’s about time!
Naturally, the mainstream media (brought to you by Pfizer) is claiming that this is an attack on every vaccine and RFK wants children to die. The truth is that ACIP is a corrupt federal committee that has been wholly captured by the pharmaceutical industry.
All 17 members of ACIP are former employees of the same vaccine manufacturers that they’re supposed to be regulating. It’s one of those “revolving doors” that you hear about in permanent Washington, DC all the time.
Doctors and scientists who work on vaccines at a Big Pharma company will take a seat on ACIP for a few years. They’ll approve all the vaccines being developed by their friends for a few years. Then, they’ll go right back to their job at the pharmaceutical company—while one of their friends replaces them on ACIP.
It should be obvious to everyone why these conflicts of interest lead to bad science and poor health outcomes. Everyone on ACIP in the past has been in a position to personally profit from the industry they were supposed to be regulating.
When a pharma company wants a new vaccine to be approved, they take whatever data from safety trials that they have (if any) and present it to ACIP. The committee has two options. They can endorse the vaccine or decline to endorse it. If they endorse a new shot, they take that recommendation to the CDC Director, who then adds the shot to the childhood vaccine schedule, recommends it for people traveling to certain countries, or sets other conditions on it.
ACIP has been advising the CDC on vaccines for the past 61 years. That’s a long time. It stands to reason that there would be some vaccines that companies attempted to gain approval for, but ACIP turned them down. Right?
So, how many vaccines has ACIP declined to endorse throughout its entire 61-year history?
Zero.
Despite 61 years of existence and switching out members all the time, ACIP members have never met a vaccine that they didn’t fall in love with.
You don’t even have to go back very far in history to realize just how rigorously corrupt ACIP is. In October 2022, ACIP had to decide whether to add the COVID mRNA jabs to the CDC’s childhood vaccination schedule. The shots had never been tested on any human children when Pfizer and Moderna were asking for this approval.
The ACIP board held 15 votes that month on whether to approve the COVID shots for kids. Every single vote was a unanimous 17-0 in favor.
By October 2022, we had already been reporting on the dangers of the COVID jabs for a year and a half. It’s not as if we had access to some secret information that the CDC couldn’t access. We were reporting on how the COVID jabs were causing a massive surge in myocarditis among young and healthy athletes, including teenagers.
We also warned our readers about the horrifying laundry list of potential side effects the jabs were causing: sexual sterilization, spinal cord leakage, miscarriages, blindness, sudden death, turbo cancer, and more. We reported it accurately when the jabs were killing large zoo animals, such as western lowland gorillas and giraffes.
As we sarcastically noted at the time, if the technology in the mRNAs is powerful enough to kill a 400 pound gorilla, imagine how safe it will be for your child!
ACIP ignored all that real-world evidence and unanimously voted to inject the COVID shots and as many boosters as possible into every child, including babies as young as 6 months of age.
RFK, Jr. will now reconstitute ACIP with doctors and scientists who have never worked for companies like Pfizer and Moderna. We’ll have neutral professionals who don’t have a financial stake in vaccines regulating vaccines—maybe for the first time in history.
Whether you support every decision RFK makes or not, one thing is clear: restoring integrity and public trust in our health institutions starts with removing the influence of corporate money.
