“Federal health officials on Monday announced dramatic revisions to the slate of vaccines recommended for American children,” the story started, “reducing the number of … routine shots to 11 from 17.”
In this context, “recommended” is equivalent to “mandated,” thanks to a cascade of state and federal laws triggered by the CDC schedule.
The removed vaccines include covid, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal ACWY, meningococcal B, rotavirus, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Those jabs will now be recommended only to high-risk groups or with a doctor’s specific agreement. ...
But the three big things the Times didn’t say were the real news.
💉 Firstly, this was the biggest rollback in the ever-expanding childhood vaccine schedule since Jonas Salk accidentally stuck himself and, in a fit of mad delirium, decided everyone else should be stuck, too. Yesterday’s partial pruning of the recommended schedule reduced the total number of childhood doses from ~88 to thirty. For readers in Portland, the schedule was just pruned by fifty-five doses— around two-thirds of the total.
Second, the Times (and the other corporate media outlets) also reassured readers that the American Pediatric Association and a bunch of blue states will still mandate the shots even if the CDC has taken them off the list.
But I’m not so sure that’s going to work. There’s a fly in the vaccine serum.
The hiccup is that the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Act, which protects vaccine makers from legal liability for injuries, tracks the CDC-recommended schedule. If a shot isn’t recommended, it isn’t covered, and injured folks can sue vaccine makers directly. That is a game-changer. If there’s one thing vaccine makers hate more than accountability, it’s having to share their profits with their injured customers.
Third, in explaining the changes, HHS published a fulsome 33-page report that contained some extremely noteworthy statements. For one, it included full-throated endorsements of the long-forgotten medical values of personal autonomy, self-determination, and informed consent:
“Among the fundamental principles of public health are respect for personal autonomy and self-determination, and informed consent is a cornerstone of medical care … vaccine decisions should never involve coercion, but instead should always be the result of informed consent and with the final decision resting with the patient/parents. Coercion renders informed consent invalid and undermines this basic right.”
You might think that didn’t need to be said. But it needed to be said.
The report also —maybe for the first time in any public CDC document— confirmed the potential existence of hard-to-prove long-term vaccine injuries:
“Vaccines may cause adverse reactions that occur or are diagnosed months or years after vaccination … Scientifically valid rates of adverse events are rarely available to determine the relationship, if any, between our country’s immunization schedule and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in American children.”
And, in a sentence that must freeze medical fetishists’ veins with icy terror, it hinted at a direct assault on all remaining vaccines by way of double-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized trials:
“Given the growing distrust that the American people have in the current childhood vaccine schedule, there is a need for more and better science, including gold standard placebo-controlled randomized trials … approvals of new vaccines designed for mass uptake should be based on double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trials.”
Much has been said about this. The short version is that nobody thinks most vaccines can survive these rigorous types of trials. Pharma shills avoid them like Tim Walz avoiding a process server.
That wasn’t all, by a long shot. The otherwise dry, technical brief was thoroughly salted with the language of medical freedom, and the promise of larger changes to come.
And just like that —still within the first week of the New Year— Secretary Kennedy dropped the latest anvil on Wile E. Democrat party. The New York Times choked down the story below the headline, “RFK Jr. Overhauls Food Pyramid to Emphasize Red Meat and Dairy.” Red meat! It was basically the Democrats’ most terrifying worst-case scenario. Not so much because of what the new pyramid says, but because of what it means.
“My message is clear: Eat real food,” Secretary Kennedy said at a briefing rolling out the new guidelines. He might as well have said, eat more meat and fat. The new graphic “flips the food pyramid on its head, putting steak, cheese, and whole milk near the top,” the Times groaned. Sweets and grains now reside on the narrow bottom.
Say goodbye to our old friend the food pyramid, whose entire base could be described by the ingredients list in a box of Lucky Charms. That the old regime lasted as long as it did is a monument to bureaucratic inertia and regulatory capture.
The Times was not unaware of the ironic twist. “After years of being advised to avoid eating too much red meat and foods high in fats,” the paper admitted, “Americans are now being told to embrace them.” Surprisingly, the Times admitted the new guidelines were supported by the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics (which is separately suing the Administration over its changes to the childhood vaccine schedule), and the American Heart Association. ...
For decades, the pyramid wasn’t just advice; it was an orthodoxy with a cash-flow spigot. It shaped school lunches, hospital trays, airline meals, food labels, supermarket configurations, and dinner-table guilt— all enforced by gold-star committees and white-coated prestige. Then came pandemic whiplash —masks, closures, shots, reversals, walk-backs— and whatever residual trust remained simply burned off like chicken bouillon left too long on the stove.
If you consider why the old food pyramid survived as long as it did, you’ll instantly recognize it was because of entrenched interests— namely, Big Food. Not only does the new system —which drives vast government expenditures in the form of school lunch programs, SNAP, and a legion of food subsidies— emphasize real food, it called for zero sugar for kids up to ten years old. (The previous limit was two years.)
Since anybody who’s been paying attention has already ditched carbs for more protein, it wasn’t revolutionary news. ...
The political disruption extends far beyond Big Food. Consider just the sudden vanishing of the war on meat. What happened to that particularly pestilential WEF mantra? For years, red meat was immoral, carcinogenic, cardiac-canceling and climate-criminal. Remember how collective cow flatulence was perpetually on the brink of literally destroying the planet? Now, all of a sudden, steak and whole milk are back on top, and this time nobody seems to be chaining themselves to a Chick-fil-A.
He might as well have said, eat more meat and fat. The new graphic “flips the food pyramid on its head
Still my doc argues with me about it
