It is now well-established that the AAP has deep financial relationships with vaccine makers, including Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and Sanofi Pasteur (also with the federal government). But the AAP doesn’t disclose any of these relationships in its policy statements and public safety assurances. Parents might be better able to evaluate the AAP’s advice if they knew who was funding the group.

You might recall the AAP being in the news recently, after it sued Secretary Kennedy and HHS for removing the covid jab from the childhood vaccine schedule. (The ridiculous case remains pending.)

Apart from Children’s Health Defense, the case’s other plaintiffs included bereaved parents, like those of two Idaho twins who died eight days after getting their 18-month scheduled vaccines. The parents had told their doctor about a family history of reactions to the flu vaccine, but the doctor brushed aside their concerns, citing AAP guidance “which does not generally recognize family history of vaccine reactions.”

Now the twin toddlers are both dead. They both died. Eight days after the shots.

On Thursday, Dr. Kirk Milhoan, chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices at the CDC, said on the Why Should I Trust You? podcast that possibly every shot should be optional, prioritizing individual rights over medical concerns.

Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services recommended cutting childhood vaccine recommendations from 17 to 11 after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reconstituted the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices .

Explaining his stance, Milhoan suggested the new ACIP will put individual autonomy 'to the first order' and warned Covid-19 mandates increased hesitancy
