Last week, we lamented the fact that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is not a dictator. Everything has to go through a slow and meandering bureaucratic process to make incremental changes at the CDC and FDA. He can’t just wave a magic wand and overturn the CDC’s murderous childhood vaccine schedule. This is becoming clearer to President Donald Trump, who appointed Kennedy to get to the bottom of the autism crisis in America, and to turn it around. Trump is doing what he can to take the leash off RFK.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) took a vote last week on the Hepatitis B vaccine. You’ve probably seen the triumphant headlines by now, declaring that RFK had “ended the mandate” for HepB shots. Even President Trump has repeated this.
I’m sorry, folks, but that is a lie.
ACIP makes recommendations to the CDC Director. It’s then up to the director to either implement that recommendation or discard it. The current Acting Director at the CDC is Jim O’Neill, and we have no idea what action he’ll take (as of this writing).
Even if O’Neill does follow ACIP’s recommendation, American children in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia are still required to receive a Hepatitis B vaccine for public school attendance. How is that ending a mandate?
The only thing that ACIP recommended was that instead of vaccinating babies against HepB during their first 24 hours of life, families should wait until the baby is 2 months old. It’s still mandatory for all American children to take this unnecessary shot, which protects against a sex disease that is primarily transmitted by drug users and people from Third World countries.
Nothing has changed as far as parents are concerned.
President Trump sees the futility of this system, so now he’s taking additional action to let RFK start making some real reforms. He signed a Presidential Memorandum over the weekend, directing RFK to fast-track a comprehensive evaluation of the vaccine schedules in other countries. Trump is ordering Kennedy to bring the US vaccine schedule in line with the prevailing science.
The CDC currently requires all American children to have 18 vaccines before they can attend public school, and a total of 72 vaccines during childhood. If you look at the vaccine recommendations of “peer” nations, that’s insane.
Denmark only recommends 10 shots for kids before school rates. It’s not some disease-ridden hellhole as a result. Denmark’s average life expectancy is 81.2 years, compared to 76 in the US. The autism rate in Denmark is about 1 in 120 children, compared to 1 in 31 in the US (and 1 in 12 boys in parts of California).
Japan only recommends 14 shots for children, and all vaccines all optional until age 2. Japan now has fewer than 10 crib deaths annually, compared to 3,700 here in the US in 2022. (Denmark has about 20 crib deaths per year.) If the CDC would bother to check, they would find that all 3,700 of those American babies died within 14 days of a pediatric vaccine visit.
Why don’t our “peer” nations regularly have disease outbreaks if they don’t “trust the science” put out by our CDC? They give fewer vaccines to kids, so they should have a lot more outbreaks, right?
We’re a long way from getting public health officials to finally admit the truth, which is that vaccines are far more harmful to American children than the diseases they supposedly prevent. RFK understands that jabbing so many vaccines into a child before they’re 18 months old is the root cause of autism and crib deaths. It’s highly likely that all those vaccines are responsible for the food allergies, gluten problems, and other intestinal disorders that have been cropping up over the past 30 years.
Kennedy’s new mandate from the president will allow him to bring vaccine policy in the US in line with “best practices” that we see in peer nations. It will allow him to do this much faster than the Byzantine processes under which the CDC normally operates. This is revolutionary, although the process is still going to be much slower than parents would like.
President Trump knows that there is something seriously wrong with the vaccine schedule in America. The problem is that our public health agencies are so swampy that it takes time to implement real changes.
