Sec. Kennedy Makes Changes to Two More HHS Vaccine Committees (and Even I Had to Look One of Them Up)

Sec. Kennedy Makes Changes to Two More HHS Vaccine Committees (and Even I Had to Look One of Them Up)

Comments 2 comments

There have been a lot of federal vaccine announcements lately. I am having trouble figuring out how all the pieces fit together, and I follow this stuff fairly closely. Maybe some of you feel the same way. So, let me try to explain it to myself, out loud, and hopefully it will make sense to all of us. First, a recap of where the executive order left things I wrote about the Gold Standard executive order the President signed on…

Against the Advice of Counsel, Trump Takes the Shot

The Gold Standard Executive Order Explained, and the Hard Part That Comes Next Since roughly the turn of the year, the political operation inside this administration has been working to get vaccines off the table until after the midterms. For those of us who have spent years on the vaccine issue, this has been a very disappointing few months. Monday’s executive order ended it. The Wall Street Journal reported in late July that Trump had been pressing Kennedy privately the…

Yesterday we filed a First Amended Complaint in Children’s Health Defense v. Hegseth, No. 1:25-cv-04363-ACR, in federal court in Washington, D.C. Here it is: FACfilestamped We basically reframed based on the three service members we added to the complaint. But let me back up and explain how we got here. The Original Complaint and the Noted Problem The complaint we filed in December challenged the front door. The Department of Defense adopts the CDC childhood immunization schedule wholesale as a…

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…

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…

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

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

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

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…

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.

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…
