RFK Jr.’s immunization committee recommends against MMRV vaccine for toddlers

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) cited concerns about febrile seizures for children under 4.

An immunization committee whose members were selected by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is supporting a tweak to the childhood vaccination schedule.

Over the course of a two-day meeting last week, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend against the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine for children under the age of 4 due to concerns about febrile seizures.

Per the Daily Caller, the committee also voted “to recommend Hepatitis B testing for mothers but delayed an anticipated vote that would have postponed the first dose of Hepatitis B vaccine from the day of birth to one month of age. Instead, children ages 12-15 months would receive separate MMR and varicella shots.”

The committee’s continued endorsement of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, however, comes just weeks after Kennedy argued for a link between the vaccine and autism.

“In 2002, CDC did an internal study of Fulton County, Georgia, children, and looked at children who got the MMR vaccine on time and compared those to kids who got them later. The data from that study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” he explained during a Senate hearing.

mRNA pioneer Dr. Robert Malone noted on social media platform X recently argued that there needs to be better guiding principles at the CDC.

“Someone has to start enforcing higher scientific standards on the CDC. It has been operating on autopilot without an on-site director for years. I guess it is going to be up to the ACIP members to start holding the CDC personnel to more rigorous scientific standards. Tiresome. Not our job, we are unpaid volunteers, but someone has to do it,” he said.

Last month, Kennedy revoked emergency use authorization for the COVID-19 shot. In May, he removed the COVID shot from the CDC’s recommended schedule for healthy children (ages 6 months and older) and pregnant women. Relatedly, Florida’s surgeon general declared that the state would end all vaccine mandates for children.

In August, Kennedy announced he was “winding down” almost $500 million worth of mRNA vaccine projects and rejecting future exploration of the technology in favor of more conventional vaccines. He also denounced the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for recommending vaccines created by its top corporate supporters without disclosing conflicts of interest.

Secretary Kennedy’s Key Remark at Autism Press Conference

Published on

FOCAL POINTS (Courageous Discourse)

By John Leake

“Some 40% to 70% of mothers who have children with autism believe that their child was injured by a vaccine.”

Within medical freedom circles, much of the commentary on the September 22 press conference has focused on Tylenol being presented as the prime suspect for the autism epidemic.

While President Trump’s medical advisors chose to focus exclusively on Tylenol—therefore revealing that they have, to some degree, been captured by the Vaccine Cartel—HHS Secretary Kennedy managed to make what I believe to be the most important statement of the press conference.

Finally, autism is a complex disorder with multifactorial etiology. We are continuing to investigate a multiplicity of potential causes where no areas of taboo. One area that we are closely examining, as the president mentioned, is vaccines. Some 40% to 70% of mothers who have children with autism believe that their child was injured by a vaccine. President Trump believes that we should be listening to these mothers instead of gaslighting and marginalizing them, like prior administrations.

As Andy Wakefield has been saying for almost thirty years, the key to determining the cause of autism lies in the witness testimony of mothers.

In the matter of autism, mothers are the best witnesses because they “keep their attention fixed upon what lies nearest”—namely, the behavior, moods, and health of their infants.

It is an astonishing fact that almost none of the literature on autism devotes serious attention to case studies like that of Hannah Poling, documented by J.S. Poling, A.W. Zimmerman et al. in their seminal paper Developmental regression and mitochondrial dysfunction in a child with autism.

For the record, in the case of Hannah Poling, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims acknowledged—albeit in a deal it tried to keep secret—that the girl’s regression into autism had been caused by a large number of vaccines administered all at once.

As we document in our new book, Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and RealityHannah’s parents are far from being alone. Thousands of parents have told similar stories. Hannah’s father, Dr. Jon Poling, had the advantage of being a neurologist at the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, so the U.S. government found his witness testimony impossible to dismiss.

Contrast the common practice of dismissing parents’ testimony in the matter of autism with our standard methods for investigating child abductions. When a child doesn’t come home from school, a detective doesn’t start by consulting the literature on criminology and criminal psychology. No, he interviews the child’s parents and teachers to establish a timeline and to learn about the child’s activities, social circles, habits, and interests.

At the McCullough Foundation, we are forging a new path, beyond the obscurantism of the high priesthood that has controlled the discourse about autism since it waged its calumnious campaign against Dr. Andrew Wakefield twenty years ago.

We are now getting organized to conduct a major case series study on children who had normal births, achieved all developmental milestones during their first twelve to nineteen months of life, but then regressed into autism. Though we will be very thorough and searching in our questions, our inquiry will be guided by the imperative to listen to the mothers.

Medical experts urge Supreme Court to protect women’s sports from ‘transgender’ males in landmark case

Sex ‘cannot be changed,’ and girls forced to compete against gender-confused males ‘face unequal competition’ and ‘higher injury risk,’ the American College of Pediatricians warns.

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear two cases that may settle whether states are legally permitted to maintain the integrity of girls’ and women’s sports, medical experts have filed a brief urging the justices to allow states to protect female student athletes from being forced to compete with gender-confused males.

They cite the unfairness and dangers of “prioritiz[ing] gender ideology over biology.”

In the two cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., lower courts have undermined women’s sports laws and forced schools to let boys compete in female sports.

‘Transitioning’ to a different sex is biologically impossible’

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) – one of the nation’s leading science-oriented medical organizations – explains in its brief that “When males compete in female categories, girls predictably lose roster spots and scholarships, face unequal competition, and in some sports bear higher injury risk. Those are real medical and developmental harms to minors … sex-separated teams are evidence-based safeguards for fairness and equal opportunity.”

“Sex is not assigned, and it cannot be changed. It is a stable biological reality, and grounding athletic classifications in that reality is necessary to maintain fairness,” explains ACPeds.

They remind the justices that “Biological sex [is] an immutable and objectively verifiable trait” and that “‘Transitioning’ to a different sex is biologically impossible.”

‘Testosterone suppression does not eliminate male performance advantages’

Across all sports, “men outperform women by margins ranging from 10% in swimming and rowing to over 50% in baseball pitching,” the brief explains. “And hormone suppression does not close the gap: even after years of treatment, male athletes retain strength and endurance levels above those of female peers … athletic advantages that hormone suppression and surgeries cannot erase.”

“While dismissing the well-documented physiological differences between males and females, the [lower courts] embraced the unproven claim that identity and hormone [use] can erase sex-based advantages,” wrote the health professionals. “But that is false: the evidence shows these differences are in fact sex-based, not hormone level- based, and those differences amply justify sex segregated sports—and associated intimate spaces such as locker rooms.”

ACPeds is not the only group urging the Supreme Court to rule in favor of allowing states to protect girls’ sports competitions from gender-confused males.

They contend that “research shows that an increasing number of youth and adults are detransitioning, indicating harm and lack of efficacy of the interventions” to chemically and surgically transition young people.

Riley Gaines and 32 current and former college athletes have filed a brief, explaining to the nine justices that they have been “harmed by the rules of college sports governing bodies that have authorized and continue to authorize men to take women’s places and share women’s locker rooms, showers and other private spaces in college sports.”

“The transgender eligibility rules of college athletic associations and conferences have system-wide discriminatory impacts on women,” write the former college athletes, who say they “have been harmed by the college sports governing bodies imposing transgender eligibility rules.”
