What is wrong with these people? This is unbelievable. 😔 @Madhava_Setty , thank you for a voice of reason.
I'm a Board Certified anesthesiologist and have been in practice for 24 years. I just learned that the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where I trained has launched a program to increase flu vaccine uptake among children by vaccinating them while under anesthesia. The program is called "Close your Eyes. We'll Immunize" This is stunningly irresponsible. Here's why: Anesthetists are extremely risk avoidant and endeavor to minimize patient exposure to anything which carries potential side effects. This is particularly true of pediatric patients who very often have never been exposed to anesthetic medications. We simply cannot know how an individual child will respond to these drugs for the first time. Every single medication we administer during an operation can potentially trigger untoward or allergic responses. When this occurs our primary responsibility is to stabilize the patient. Our secondary responsibility is to identify the offending agent. There is absolutely no justification of introducing another agent, in this case a flu vaccine, which carries a risk of harm and contributes nothing to the success of the operation. Some of the more common side effects of flu vaccines are fever (11-16%) and less commonly, a rash (1%). There is also an non-zero risk of severe allergic reactions and high-grade fevers which can develop over the course of minutes. What if a child under anesthesia receives a vaccine and develops a rash and/or fever? Is it from the antibiotic that the surgeon requested? Is it from the narcotic? The anxiolytic? The barbiturate? Anesthetic gases can also (rarely) trigger a life threatening response called Malignant Hyperthermia which commonly presents as a high fever. Without subsequent testing we cannot know which agent was responsible. Most commonly the testing is never done and the child’s record will forever reflect the possibility that some or all of the drugs which were used are responsible for their reaction. This makes future anesthetic care significantly more challenging and will require the use of alternatives which may not be necessary. Advocating for a flu vaccine while a child is anesthetized reflects the pervasive yet inaccurate attitude among the medical establishment that vaccines are perfectly safe. I simply cannot believe that my mentors would have ever supported this initiative when I was a resident there. Close your eyes indeed.

Wow. Now, uncensored… And, it’s not the only study. As a country, we must come together on this, consider all studies, and we must err on the side of caution. There is no downside, there should be no division. Once upon a time, in a less extreme world, just the core shots were recommended for school. The parents decided with their pediatrician when and what would be given. (The European schedule is still like that.) And, the pediatrician would respond to any red flags and/or any concerns parents might have. This is medicine, not politics, not a religion. These are liability-free drug products with real side effects for some kids. Some are serious side effects for some kids. We can do better. Denial is not a solution. All kids matter. Better safe than sorry. Please ask questions.
Ask Your Pediatrician BEFORE the Appointment, Not During It Call the front desk: is this practice open to a delayed schedule, to spacing doses, to declining some? You'll learn more from that one question than from any conversation held with a baby on your lap and a nurse waiting. Know your state's exemption law too — they differ enormously.

Well said, @RetsefL . Unbelievable.
Do you think that @AmerAcadPeds insists on pushing recommendations to vaccinate every 6 month old baby for COVID because they care about Americans, or perhaps because they care about their funders @pfizer @moderna_tx @Merck & @sanofi? Sweden and Denmark don’t offer COVID vaccines to children with rare exceptions based on careful individual medical evaluation and prescription by pediatrician! No other country recommends these vaccine to healthy babies & children and it is not authorized by @FDA!

No, that's insane. ❗❗️❗️❗️
“The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all babies get three Covid shots by the time they’re nine months old.” “26 states are following that schedule.” Dr. Mary Bowden is sounding the alarm. Millions of babies are still getting mRNA Covid shots. “The CDC schedule, it’s not on there.” “But unfortunately, I think it’s 26 states have formed their own schedule apart from the CDC.” “So they’re not following CDC.” “They’re following the American Academy of Pediatrics.” @MaryBowdenMD @jeffreytucker

Honored to have been invited to give a one hour lecture to NIH and NCI about our 20 years of work on a cancer vaccine and our collaboration with NCi. Had a great talk and great feedback..apparently over 170 people attended the talk Friday. Will send a link once I get the recording. ALC matters!

Wish every pediatrician was this thoughtful...
As a pediatrician, here’s a question I think about: If questioning a vaccine recommendation is considered dangerous, but questioning a medication, surgery, screening test, or diet recommendation is considered good medicine… why should vaccines be the one area where asking harder questions is treated differently?

If this doesn't move you, well, I don't know what to say. It's hard to believe that that actually happened in our country. 😔
DR. JOHN LITTELL: COVID PATIENTS WERE ABANDONED BY A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT DEMANDED COMPLIANCE At Sen. Ron Johnson’s roundtable on COVID-19 hospital protocols, Dr. John Littell described what doctors were being told to do during the height of the Delta wave. He cited guidance sent to 2,000 doctors at an Orlando hospital that recommended against hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, ivermectin and other treatments — while recommending the routine use of remdesivir. “This is the protocol that the doctors were following lockstep.” Littell chose a different path. “We can’t afford to be lukewarm. Our motivation needs to be advocates for those patients who are abandoned by our healthcare system.”

Common sense. Everyone, including doctors, especially doctors, should be questioning this policy. There’s plenty of time to give this shot to a child. Why mandate an unnecessary medical intervention that may be risky when a baby has just come into the world and, hopefully, is healthy and needs nothing but normal parental love and nurturing to thrive?
Welcome to God's earth. Gasp for your first beautiful breath, and now we're going to give you your first sexually transmitted disease vaccine before you're a day old. That's the hepatitis B vaccine, and I consider it one of the stupidest vaccines we give. Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted. A newborn isn't going to encounter it unless the mother was hepatitis B positive at birth, which does happen, through shared needles, through certain blood transfusions, through other rare circumstances. But here's what makes the whole thing absurd. We already blood test every mother in America before delivery. It isn't a mystery who's positive and who isn't. We don't need to inject every single newborn in the country just to protect the rare baby actually at risk. That's where this insanity begins, a vaccine given on day one of life that almost no child will ever need if they go on to live a wholesome life.

The public is exhausted by predation: media fear campaigns, coercive medical mandates, institutional gaslighting, and propaganda without end. People have had enough. Vaccines now represent far more than a medical intervention. They have become the narrative fulcrum of the entire biomedical order. Were they among history’s greatest lifesaving achievements—or have their unavoidable risks, limitations, and clear role in the chronic-disease, sudden death, and autism/neurological crises been systematically concealed? Around that unresolved question stands a vast political, commercial, and media apparatus built to marginalize, censor, deplatform, and sometimes even criminalize those who challenge the approved story. But one principle is not open to debate: Remove informed consent, and medicine becomes predation. Any politician, physician, academic, journalist, or institution that withholds material risks, manipulates fear, punishes refusal, or uses authority to deprive people of genuine choice must confront the moral nature of what it is doing. In every other realm, we understand that consent obtained through deception, intimidation, or overwhelming power is not meaningful consent. In sexual ethics, its absence marks the difference between intimacy and soul-shattering violation. Medicine does not receive an exemption from that moral law simply because the person applying pressure wears a white coat, holds public office, or invokes “the greater good.” The underlying dynamics are always recognizable: deception, coercion, asymmetrical power, and the conversion of another human being’s body into an instrument of someone else’s agenda. Medicine must return to healing rather than dominance—to transparency rather than manipulation, and partnership rather than command. Its moral authority is already near collapse. Medicine must return to healing rather than dominance—to transparency rather than manipulation, and partnership rather than command. Its moral authority is already near collapse. Whether it can be recovered will depend on one non-negotiable restoration: The human body belongs first and finally to the person who inhabits it. It is a constitutionally protected domain—and without sovereignty over our own bodies, the Republic exists only on paper.

Anti-V vs. Pro-V, what do they mean? As usual, isn't the sane position somewhere in-between? And, with medical interventions, isn't the answer patient specific, with some patients not fitting broad general recommendations? Shouldn't we err on the side of caution? Isn't informed consent for a medical intervention a human right? Are medical interventions that are monetized for profit then mandated a conflict of interest? Should medical interventions ever be mandated? Why can't we ask questions without being labeled? What can we do?

🚨 “If we’re so afraid of being an anti-vaxxer, what’s a vaxxer?” Shawn Buckley, lead counsel for the Allison Inquiry, says we’ve become so conditioned to fear the “anti-vaxxer” label that we can barely have an honest conversation about vaccines at all. Buckley asks an important question: Is a “vaxxer” someone who believes it’s acceptable to inject children with a medical product without the same minimum standard of placebo-controlled clinical trials he says would be expected for approving a drug for adults? His perspective is also deeply personal. After one of his own children suffered an anaphylactic reaction following vaccination and had to be revived, Buckley says their doctor advised the family to stop vaccinating. Now, after interviewing people living with devastating vaccine injuries for the Allison Inquiry, he says many tell him the hardest part isn’t even the injury itself, it’s being dismissed, denied treatment or treated as though their vaccine injury cannot be acknowledged.

💥NEW: Former CDC Director Robert Redfield *SWATS DOWN* C-SPAN Host's Q on whether RFK Jr. responsible for low trust in health agencies👏🇺🇸 Greta Brawner: "Is HHS Secretary RFK Jr. to blame?" Redfield: "I don’t think so! I happen to be an advocate for Secretary Kennedy ... I think he’s gonna be one of the most consequential — in a positive way — Health Secretaries we've had." "I think he’s made a lot of focus on trying to figure out how to make America healthy again." "I think it’s shocking that over 30% of our young people that are obese — and he’s making progress on that for sure." "I do not believe — and I know him pretty well — that Robert Kennedy is truly anti-vaccine. What he’s for is honesty about vaccines."

Hope "they" don't try to obstruct these common sense changes. Hope parents, regardless of their political loyalties, can be open-minded and listen to the doctors and scientists who do support these changes and to their reasons why. Hope everyone will step back and comprehend that, despite some weird defensive narratives in the media, there is no down side to the changes. Despite what they say. We are just returning to sanity - the way it was before the wheels came off in the 80's. A time before our children's health was commodified and health establishment compliance was mandated. A time when there was informed consent and medical ethics still mattered. A time when doctors, instead of corporate entities, could determine what was best for each individual patient. A better, safer, healthier, happier time. 🦋

Christopher Dreisbach's life changed after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. Today, he spends hours receiving IVIG infusions just to manage his symptoms, yet he continues to advocate for others facing similar challenges. Chris explains that the bipartisan Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act (H.R. 9672) would be a major step forward for vaccine-injured individuals. The legislation would allow eligible COVID-19 vaccine injury claims to be filed through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) while strengthening and modernizing the nation's vaccine injury compensation system. After waiting four years with a pending CICP claim, Chris continues to fight for a system that is fair, transparent, and accessible for everyone affected. Help us spread awareness by sharing this post and encouraging your U.S. Representative to support the bipartisan Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act.
