RFK Jr. Weighs Removing Covid Vaccine from CDC Child Immunization List
The move would be Kennedy’s most consequential intervention in the nation’s vaccine recommendations since taking office.
It certainly has been a busy week for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
First, he orders the phase-out of petroleum-based food dyes from American food.
Now, he is actively considering removing the COVID-19 vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommended immunization schedule for children.
This move, if enacted, would mark a significant shift in American vaccination policy and would be Kennedy’s most consequential intervention in the nation’s vaccine recommendations since taking office.
The directive under consideration would remove the Covid shot from the childhood vaccine schedule maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and widely used by physicians to guide vaccine distribution, marking Kennedy’s most significant move yet to shake up the nation’s vaccination practices.
Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, has previously questioned the need for kids to get the shot, raising doubts about its safety and citing studies showing healthy children face an extremely low risk of death from Covid.
Eliminating the vaccine from the CDC schedule would not bar kids from receiving it. But the change would represent an extraordinary intervention by Kennedy to override the agency’s scientific decision-making and reverse a recommendation backed by the CDC and a slate of independent advisers just three years ago.
The removal would also likely influence vaccination procedures across the nation. Pediatricians rely on the CDC schedule to determine which vaccines they should give children and when to administer them, in order to protect against a range of common infectious diseases.
I could not agree more with this change. The mRNA vaccine is too new, and long-term effects have not been fully evaluated. Parents should be allowed to decide if their children face a significant risk from a COVID-19 infection, and have the choice to decline the vaccine if there is none.
The potential for death or significant adverse health effects for children who have COVID is extremely low. Globally, among 4.4 million COVID-19 deaths, only 0.4% (over 17,400) occurred in individuals under 20 years old, with about half of these in children aged 0–9 years.
Additionally, an extensive, multinational study of COVID-19 vaccines from companies like Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca was linked to rare occurrences of heart, brain, and blood disorders. At this point, most rational health professionals would allow an individual to decide if the risk of heart, brain, and blood disorders outweighs the risk of experiencing COVID without the vaccine in any of its mutations and variations.
Furthermore, there have been long-standing concerns about the possibility of the vaccine causing an inflammation of the heart tissue (myocarditis). These worries were not allayed when the CDC released over 100 pages of blank documents when the study focused on the matter was FOIA’d.
The CDC "released" a 148 page study on myocarditis after COVID-19 "vaccination" and every single page is completely redacted. This must be a new record. https://t.co/kIE2s7Wl2z pic.twitter.com/M6xDbRYMZx

Perhaps Kennedy was able to access and review these pages?
The HHS Secretary’s move also aligns this country with far more sensible standards practiced elsewhere.
Such a change, according to CNN, would put the U.S. more in line with international guidance. The UK, Canada and many other countries do not recommend an annual COVID-19 vaccine for healthy young people. The World Health Organization similarly recommends one dose for children and adolescents only if they have comorbidities.
…The change, if it happens, could align with recommendations from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices—an independent panel composed of medical and public health experts—which last week considered narrowing their COVID-19 vaccination guidelines. Specifically, the committee could change that to a risk-based recommendation, advising two doses of COVID-19 vaccines each year for adults over 65 and people with weakened immune function. Other groups who may be included are those at high risk of COVID-19, such as healthcare workers or children in daycare.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering whether to remove the COVID-19 vaccine from a government list of recommended immunizations for children, according to Politico.https://t.co/xE7PSHFVz7

There is nothing to weigh. Children are practically immune to the Chinese Death Pox!
I am very pro vaccine –
However, the covid vaccine is very ineffective, with children at an extremely low risk of any adverse consequense of a covid illness. The only children that died with covid already had life threatening illnesses.
The covid vax likely impedes the development of a stronger covid immunity which is just the opposite of what is needed. .
As such, removing the covid vax from the list of recommended/required vaccines is the rational thing
the covid “vaccine” is not a vaccine in that it neither stops infection or transmission
Agreed –
curious if anyone knows someone who got the covid vax that didnt later catch covid?
Ive had the Moderna vax 4 times. I’ve never had covid.
What is stated is that it reduces the severity of covid if you catch it. It doesn’t prevent it. I’m not sure any vaccine actually prevents a disease. They just prime and/or boost the immune system so it can respond faster, You can get infected but the infection is stamped out before it takes hold because your immune system is ready to go.
Well then the last three sentences aren’t a refutation, just an explanation that the operational mechanism is indirect rather than direct. Doesn’t matter, as long as the mechanism is ultimately effective, which this one is not.
,ost vaccines DO prevent disease conraction. tha is done by any of a few mechanisms that inrduce a de-activated pathogen into the system. the body then recognises that paogen as enemy, and atacks i. then the body is primed to atack that particular pathogen when later encountered with aggreive bast acting response of the immune system.
the cpvid “vaccine
does one of that. I causes the body to manufacture a toxin (the spike protein) and release it into the bloodsream, thus providing a pathogen to train the body to attack it. That pathogen, the spike protein, IS a toxin in and ofitself, and is often accepted by the body as natural and normal, thus depressing the desired immune response.
Not only that, the massive production of this spike protein, with no “off switch”,had a very high incidence of causing other abnormal diseases… any of the class “prion diseases”, heart and cns diseases, cancers, etc.
An this is allowed to be injected into humans?
Mo, dump the whole ting. The mRNA process was never capable ofrying, deerimned that process can never confer immunuty. Wring weapon.
Dr. Birx has already acknowledged it was a mistake to call for the COVID vaccination of children and infants. Kennedy’s decision should be uncontroversial.
As I’ve mentioned before, the problem was the conflation of “authorized for use in persons X years old” with “medically indicated for persons X years old.” These are not the same things. Who was responsible for this willful distortion of the authorization? That person is the criminal here.
Right.
“The move would be Kennedy’s most consequential intervention in the nation’s vaccine recommendations since taking office.”
And ought to be his easiest and lowest pushback.
It’s a low-hanging fruit that only an idiot wouldn’t grab immediately,
Vaccines are very important to give children but there was no reason to give the Covid experimental gene therapy to children or healthy adults in the first place. A lot of people got rich off of it and that was about the only reason to do it besides training Americans to do what the government says at all times.
Or equally, training actual educable Americans NOT to.
I would also go as far as to say that the vast majority of people have no need for this pointless vaccine. If you are fit and healthy you will be fine
If you are a fat kunt suffering from fat kunt illnesses then do yourself a favour and stop eating the sh1t you are eating and get out and exercise. This will have the immediate benefit of improving both your mental wellbeing as well as your physical wellbeing.
If you cant do that then its on you to keep yourself away from unwell people.
The (A) problem with the NHS is that it is often slow in mailing out tranquilizers to mental patients. At least we can be sure in this case that the mailman isn’t stealing them out of the post.
I see what you did there!
I travel a lot and during the ‘great plague of 2020’ I got the vaccine because it was that or stay home. I also got the second and third shots for the same reason. I never got CoVid and I’ve never had side effects. However I do know several people in my (okay I’ll say it: OLD) age group who did. One got scary/hospitalized ill. One permanently lost sense of smell. A couple of people got it twice and were sick but not SICK. Interestingly both of them had had all the shots they could get.
However when the panic was over and I could travel with my record of previous immunizations, I stopped despite my doctor’s urging to keep shooting up.
On two different occasions he offered two different reasons:
1. The efficacy of the vaccine wears off over time.
2. The virus mutates rending the old vaccine ineffective.
Finally to the point:
If young people don’t get CoVid (and they don’t) what is the point of giving them a vaccine that will have lost efficacy by the time they are old enough to be vulnerable or which will become ineffective because the virus has mutated in the intervening years?
The only point I can think of is “profit.”
I was 63 when in February/March 2020 I had COVID. It was so mild, I wouldn’t have known it was COVID except that it altered my sense of taste. I have not had it again I know several people who have had multiple boosters and multiple COVID infections. They rationalize this with “It could have been worse without the vaccines,” and never give a thought to the idea that multiple jabs damaged their immune systems making them more vulnerable to COVID.
I’m over 60 and got it. Sick as a dog like a very bad flue one day. Felt better the next and went back to work the third pretty much over it. Got it again and it was a day of runny nose and slight headache.
In my case I have never gotten a flu shot and have never had the flu,….I did get the covid shot (x2) and guess what,…I got covid!
The system works!
I will bet I am older than you are. I never took that shot (I understood how it was alledged to work, and knew that was a false concept and it could NOT work as advertised. I eat well, stay physically acive, went wherever I watned to (got thrown out of two grocery stores, but hopped in the car and drove up the road to another, who were hapy enough to take my money. Never put on the mug nappie(I know they cannot possibly keep a virus out… nor dan a chain link fence keep the mosquitos out, and for the same reason.
I also followed the account of theDiamond rincess cruise ship in Tokyo Harbour. The prediction was that probably 2500 of the 3000 souls aboard would die of the covid. she was owed off to lie to her hook in the nether regions of Tokyo Harbour to wait for everyone aboard to die. that was the last mainstream news report….. some weeks later I came across a tiny paragraph in some obscure news source that detailed the REAL outcome: fewer than a dozen had died, I think in single digits, actually. Some were rather sick but recovered.
If the mainstream press were HONEST (duhhhh??!!??) that would have been front page above the fold GOOD NEWS worldwide. Nope. Can;t have that.
Learning how that played out told me all I needed to know. And so I confidently continued to DO NOTHING about the whole scam.
Why would there be any question about this, at all?
No one with a brain is taking any of the COVID shots anymore – save a couple of social security’s 170 year olds.
What they should be doing is walking back the lie that the COVID shots are vaccines, save the one subunit one. Gene therapy is not vaccination. How about setting that straight?
A medical treatment is not a vaccine if it doesn’t provide immunity and prevent transmission an illness. If the vaxxes have any effect, it’s as a therapeutic.
Robert Barnes says the manufacturers should lose their immunity from claims for the damage they caused because they failed to deliver the product they were contracted to deliver – a safe and effective vaccine that prevents illness and transmission. They literally hit none of these marks, even to the delivery of a “vaccine.” (Yes, I know the definition of “vaccine” was changed to include therapeutics. But the meaning of “vaccine” was fixed in the contract by its meaning at the time the contract was adopted by the parties.)
Plus, they didn’t even deliver the vaccine that was awarded “temporary FDA approval,” only Europeans got that one. They delivered multiple untested, unapproved bathtub cocktails.
As he should. Among children, the negative incidence rate of the vaccine is greater than the risk of contracting the disease.
Children would be better served going outside and playing in the dirt than taking an untested gene therapy that no one knows what will happen with several years down the line.
Interesting reply from X ai:
By putting a vaccine on the childhood vaccine schedule, does a manufacturer get a liability immunity automatically?
Yes, in the United States, vaccines included on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule are automatically covered under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986. This law provides vaccine manufacturers with significant liability protection for injuries or adverse effects associated with those vaccines.
Under the NCVIA, individuals claiming injury from a covered vaccine must file a claim through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a no-fault compensation system. This program shields manufacturers from most lawsuits, as claimants cannot directly sue the manufacturer unless they first go through the VICP process and meet specific criteria. Even then, successful lawsuits against manufacturers are rare due to the legal protections in place.
The liability immunity applies automatically once a vaccine is added to the schedule, as long as it is administered according to the recommended guidelines. This protection is a key incentive for manufacturers to develop and distribute vaccines, as it reduces their financial risk from potential litigation. However, this immunity does not extend to cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, though such cases are exceptionally difficult to prove.
If you need more details or specific examples, let me know!
Hit submit before I was done. Sorry
I take a little issue with “… Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist,…”IMO, the mRNA shot has no efficacy proven in most kids. I think the manufacturer immunity was the reason to have this placed on the childhood schedule not a medical reason. Probably, immunosuppressed or specific diseases may indicate a need in young kids, but to generally give to all kids is like giving the hepatitis B shot to newborns as they probably won’t have sex or use dirty needles for awhile anyway. If there is a medical reason to think the mother can transmit hep B during birth, then an indication would be there
Let me TL;DR here: Are you saying that a vaccine manufacturer secures immunity from damages done TO ADULTS as long as the medication is also ON the childhood schedule?
Yes that is my understanding
I checked with X ai to make sure I understood what I thought was correct.

Sorry that was copied and pasted twice. My bad
This is the section I wanted.
Do the manufacturers of a recognized vaccine on the childhood schedule also have immunity from suits from adults as well?
Yes, in the United States, manufacturers of vaccines listed on the CDC’s Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule are generally protected from lawsuits for vaccine-related injuries under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, regardless of whether the vaccine is administered to children or adults. The liability protection provided by the NCVIA applies to vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which includes those on the childhood schedule, and extends to all recipients of these vaccines, not just children.
For example, vaccines like the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine or the tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, which are on the childhood schedule, are covered by the VICP. If an adult receives one of these vaccines and claims an injury, they must file a claim through the VICP, just as a child’s guardian would. This process shields manufacturers from direct lawsuits in most cases, as claimants are required to go through the VICP before pursuing any legal action against a manufacturer. Even after exhausting the VICP process, suing a manufacturer is extremely difficult due to the legal protections in place, except in rare cases involving gross negligence or willful misconduct.
However, the immunity does not apply to vaccines not covered by the VICP (e.g., vaccines not on the childhood schedule or certain adult-only vaccines). Additionally, the protection is specific to the vaccine’s use as recommended; off-label uses may not be covered.
If you have a specific vaccine or scenario in mind, I can dig deeper!
So my whole thought with all of these shenanigans was the manufacturers knew they had a cash cow with this from the government contracts and push by CDC, NIH etc.
Oops, the data from the clinical trials may give them problems for some of the known side effects discovered in the trials
Get the definition of a vaccine changed to cover mRNA so prevention of disease and transmission is not the standard
Get it on the childhood schedule,
Total immunity
Problems solved
It’s not a vaccine
End of story
Neither is the pneumonia “vaccine”
One could argue the “flu” vaccine is not a true vaccine either
Then there is the Shingles vaccine
The Shingles “vaccine” is one you absolutely want to get ASAP when eligible. I have known a number or people who did not get the shot and have had Shingles. You do NOT want to be one of them.
I concur. I nursed my father through shingles. He was a hardened mechanic, electrician, refrigeration, and construction worker. The only three times in my life I ever heard him groaning in pain was in rehab for torn back muscles, with a nail in his eye during a flooring installation mishap, and when the shingles would erupt late in life. You bet I got mine.
Not good enough, RFK.
IT
IS
NOT
A
VACCINE
And before Fauci changed the definition, it would not have been legally allowed to be labeled one.
Change the definition back and remove its approval, and prosecute them if they continue to label it ‘vaccine’.
Should have been the first thing he did. He should also disallow hospitals from mandating COVID vaccines for transplant eligibility. It’s insane they’re still doing this years after the pandemic ended.
Transplant patients all have compromised immune systems. As such it makes sense for them to be shot up because any infection including covid can have fatal consequences.
But that rationale can’t possibly apply to a shot that does nothing but lessen the symptoms.
children are the guinea pigs that the left wants instead of using animals
be it in the womb or the classroom
I don’t see why we can’t let our immune systems do their job. How the hell did we get here? We are so over medicated; no wonder the birth rate is down. Apparently you can’t get pregnant without multiple trips to the doctors office and you can’t live unless you have countless vaccines pumped into you, can’t get through school or work if you’re not jacked up on something.
a major factor contributing immensely to the widespread sickness in our natuon is diet. Artificial ad overprocessed “ood” is he main content of today’s diet.
Stand and watch the checkout line in a large grocery store. I cannot believe the garbage in most carts. If I ate like that I’d have been dead two decades ago. Instead I am still working, cycling, splitting firewood, and do NOT get sick. It was so long since I’d been to see my doc (more than five years, YAY!) they wanted me to come in as a new patient.. three month waiting list. They should have got me in the next day and given me a medal for keeping myself so healthy.
Had a minor eye infection. We did full lab work, everything was well within normal limits I;m convinced I will see triple digits before I check ou. BUT I watch what I eat. Mot do not, and that’s why the medical system is so overloaded.
This is a common sense approach. No need to mandate it. Make it voluntary and recommended for those with comorbidities such as compromised immune system, heart and/or lung issues, diabetes, morbid obesity, etc…
The same should hold true for adults at this point.
Note what he isn’t removing from the vaccine list.
I am always glad to be pleasantly surprised and I am glad that RFK in practice is not an anti-vaxxer when seeing the evidence for what that would actually do.
Hope the anti-vaxxers take note from it.
