Physicians for Informed Consent has just released the scientific foundation that could reshape America’s vaccine debate—and the legal battles ahead. This “Silver Booklet,” Vaccines and the Diseases They Target: An Analysis of Vaccine Safety and Epidemiology, demolishes the flimsy scientific foundation of America’s vaccine policies. This is essential reading for anyone questioning whether these policies rest on solid science and medical ethics. Here is the link: https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/silver-booklet/ Authored by physicians and scientists (including members tied to two of my free-speech…

No Decision Yet in Kory v. Bonta—But Here’s My Best Guess (or Wishful Thinking) about the What’s Coming

No Decision Yet in Kory v. Bonta—But Here’s My Best Guess (or Wishful Thinking) about the What’s Coming

Still no word from the Supreme Court on Kory v. Bonta. To recap: we filed for certiorari after the Ninth Circuit affirmed Judge Shubb’s denial of a preliminary injunction and upheld his determination—joined by two of the three appellate judges—that the plaintiffs lacked standing. After we filed the cert petition, the California Attorney General’s office waived its right to respond. However, the Court ordered a response anyway. That’s significant—it means at least one Justice thought it worth hearing how the…

Executive Power, Parental Rights, and Vaccine Mandates: The Battle for West Virginia’s Religious Exemption

Executive Power, Parental Rights, and Vaccine Mandates: The Battle for West Virginia’s Religious Exemption

Comments 0 Comment

West Virginia—long known for having one of the strictest vaccine mandates in the country—is now the latest flashpoint in a growing national conflict between medical orthodoxy and constitutional liberty. Earlier this month, Governor Patrick Morrisey issued an executive order recognizing religious exemptions to school vaccination requirements, citing the state’s 2023 Equal Protection for Religion Act (EPRA). https://apps.sos.wv.gov/adlaw/executivejournal/readpdf.aspx?DocID=97525 But almost immediately, the West Virginia Board of Education pushed back, directing schools to ignore the order and continue enforcing the statute as…

Only 13% of Kids Are Getting COVID Shots — So Why the Media Meltdown Over Change to CDC Recommendation?

Only 13% of Kids Are Getting COVID Shots — So Why the Media Meltdown Over Change to CDC Recommendation?

Comments 0 Comment

(My guest editorial in CHD’s the Defender today 6/3/2025) Last week’s change to the CDC COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for healthy children drew criticism from mainstream media. But with only 12.8% of children up to date on COVID-19 shots, it’s clear the public has already moved on — the CDC is simply catching up. Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dropped its recommendation that healthy children receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The shot technically remains on the childhood…

We should know within a few days, thumbs up or thumbs down. Any longer than that might mean some kind of decision, perhaps a dissent from whatever decision is made. It only takes four justices to accept a case. fingers crossed. Rick Jaffe, Esq.

The COVID Shot for Kids Just Got Demoted—But the Fight Isn’t Over Yet

Comments 0 Comment

Earlier this week, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – flanked by NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya and CMS Director Mehmet Oz — publicly announced—that the federal government would no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children or pregnant women. Now, hot off the press is the CDC’s updated immunization schedule reflecting that shift (sort of). here is the relevant language: “Shared clinical decision-making Ages 6 month –17 years who are NOT moderately or severely immunocompromised. Shared clinical decision-making vaccinations are…

CDC’s Pediatric COVID Shot Mandate to Physicians Faces Legal Attack: No Approval, No Proven Benefit, and now, No More Free Pass

CDC’s Pediatric COVID Shot Mandate to Physicians Faces Legal Attack: No Approval, No Proven Benefit, and now, No More Free Pass

I just filed a lawsuit on behalf of Dr. Samara Cardenas, a pediatrician who used her brain, and then lost her Medicaid practice because of it. Here is the short of it: Even after the pandemic ended, and even after Omicron turned COVID into a glorified head cold for healthy kids, the CDC is still pushing COVID shots for every Medicaid child six months and up. No risk assessment, no clinical benefit required — just line ‘em up and jab…

Things are moving quickly with our petition which was docketed at the Supreme Court on February 27th. Thereafter, the AG’s office filed a waiver of their right to respond to the petition. Shortly thereafter, the petition set for conference on March 28th, which seems very quick. However, today, apparently after review of the petition, the Court requested that the AG submit an response to be filed by April 16th. Ell, they at least think there is enough merit that they…

Hot off the Press: The Kory v. Bonta Petition at the Supremes has just been Docketed

I just received word that our petition for certiorari on Kory v Bonta has been docketed. here it is: 24-KoryPetition. I think it came out pretty good. But I am missing my former co-counsel on the case, but he’s already doing great work in his new gig. These petitions are a super long shot usually. I intend to stir things up to dramatically increase the odds. Stay Tuned for the next update tomorrow. You’ll like it. Rick Jaffe, Esq.
