Doing what we have to do: We Just Filed a Stay Motion in the AAP v Kennedy, and Why It Matters

Comments 0 Comment

I just filed a stay motion in American Academy of Pediatrics v. Kennedy, No. 1:25-cv-11916-BEM (D. Mass.), case, asking District Judge Brian motion to stay his Preliminary Injunction order he entered on March 16. I have no idea why the Government hadn’t already filed this motion. I did it because I initially sought the relief from the First Circuit, and they sent me back to the district court to ask there first, and so I did, today. Here is the…

What HHS Should Do About Government Funded Animal Cruelty, Like NOW!

What HHS Should Do About Government Funded Animal Cruelty, Like NOW!

Comments 3 comments

Several months ago, a San Diego health care practitioner started sending me emails with reports of what NIH-funded universities are doing to dogs and cats. I’ve been tied up on other things, (as some of you may know), and I finally spent a few attention units on it. For anyone with pets, and even a lick of empathy, this is appalling and outrageous. Did you know that federal grants pay American research universities to infest beagle puppies with hundreds of…

We’ve Asked the First Circuit to Unfreeze Federal Vaccine Policy. If It Doesn’t, Perhaps the Supreme Court Will.

In my last post I said we would file an emergency motion in the First Circuit within days. It took longer than that, for reasons anyone who has ever assembled a 903-page appendix will understand. The motion is now filed. This is the third post in a series. The first explained why Murphy’s order shuts down the federal vaccine apparatus. The second announced the appeal. This one covers what we actually asked for and what to expect. The First Circuit…

We are Appealing AAP v. Kennedy. Here’s What’s Next.

We are Appealing AAP v. Kennedy. Here’s What’s Next.

Today, March 25th, I filed a notice of appeal in AAP v. Kennedy, No. 1:25-cv-11916-BEM (D. Mass.), on behalf of Children’s Health Defense, two physicians, and two mothers whose children died after receiving multiple simultaneous vaccines. We’re appealing two things. First, Judge Murphy’s February 27 denial of our motion to intervene as defendants and counterclaim plaintiffs. Murphy denied the motion in a one-sentence order with no analysis of any of the four factors under Rule 24(a)(2). No findings on timeliness,…

How a Gaggle of Vaccine Trade Groups Got a Federal Judge to Help Upsell Vaccines No State Thinks Are Necessary

How a Gaggle of Vaccine Trade Groups Got a Federal Judge to Help Upsell Vaccines No State Thinks Are Necessary

And froze the federal government’s ability to change any vaccine recommendation in the process. Something happened on March 16 that Kennedy’s people need to understand. District Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction in AAP v. Kennedy that freezes the federal childhood vaccine schedule and strips the CDC Director of the authority to change who gets which vaccines. Not for a week. Not until the next hearing. For the duration of this case, which could be years. Let…

Why We are Suing the American Academy of Pediatrics for Racketeering

Why We are Suing the American Academy of Pediatrics for Racketeering

Comments 4 comments

Today I filed a federal racketeering lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Bold? Yes. Unprecedented? No. The model: the successful RICO litigation against Big Tobacco. Government and private insurers sued cigarette manufacturers and their trade organizations for decades of fraudulent health-risk denials. Courts found liability. Tobacco created false uncertainty to manufacture doubt. AAP did the inverse: false certainty to foreclose questions. Both used the trappings of science to prevent actual science. What Happens When the System Believes Its Own…

The Denmark Schedule Hysteria Misses the Point: It’s About Shared Clinical Decision-Making

The Denmark Schedule Hysteria Misses the Point: It’s About Shared Clinical Decision-Making

Comments 2 comments

The vaccine establishment went into full panic mode last week when CNN reported that HHS was planning to align the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with Denmark’s. The headlines screamed: Denmark recommends only 11 vaccine doses targeting 10 diseases; the U.S. recommends 72 doses targeting 18 diseases. Scott Gottlieb warned we’d need to “build new pediatric hospitals.” The AAP predicted “devastating results.” Paul Offit accused HHS of wanting children to suffer. But CNN missed half the story. The next day, the…

Today, November 24, 2024, we filed for cert at the Supreme Court in Stockton v. Brown, seeking to overturn the Ninth Circuit’s refusal to declare unconstitutional the Washington Medical Commission’s enforcement policy sactioning phsyicians for alleged Covid Misinformation. This, despite the fact that the day before, the Washington Appellate court did that very thing, making the 9th’s decision DEAD ON ARRIVAL! Can state medical boards punish physicians for their public speech on matters of public concern? This shouldn’t be controvefrsial…

Finally, The CDC’s Untested Childhood Vaccine Schedule Is On Trial

Finally, The CDC’s Untested Childhood Vaccine Schedule Is On Trial

Comments 8 comments

For the first time, a federal lawsuit challenges the CDC’s 72-dose childhood vaccine schedule on the grounds that it has never been safety tested as actually administered. It may also surprise you that the government’s own outside advisors have been urging these studies for almost 25 years. On Friday August 15th, I filed Thomas v. Monarez in federal court in D.C. on behalf of Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom. The case goes to the…

The Cardenas Lawsuit is over: But What’s Next Will Be Huge

The Cardenas Lawsuit is over: But What’s Next Will Be Huge

Comments 1 comment

Earlier in the week, I filed a voluntary dismissal in Cardenas v. Monarez, which lawsuit sought two things. 1. That the CDC change the Covid shot for kids from “recommended” to “shared decision-making.” We specifically asked that this be done prior to the ACIP meeting scheduled for end of June. 2. That the Vaccine for Children Program stop requiring Medicaid pediatricians to order the Covid shot. (You might recall that Dr. Cardenas’ refusal to order the Covid shot lead to…
