The US government has removed the experimental COVID-19 vaccines from the list of recommended vaccinations for healthy pregnant women and children.

– We’re now one step closer to realizing President Trump’s promise to make America healthy again, declared Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when announcing the decision.

– I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule, RFK said in a video posted on X yesterday.

According to analysts, the decision will most likely mean that significantly fewer children and pregnant women will be vaccinated with the heavily criticized vaccines in the future – partly because this is not recommended by the authorities – but also because many insurance companies will likely no longer cover the cost.

– Last year the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children, Kennedy continued.

“Common sense and good science”

At the announcement, Kennedy was flanked by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary and National Health Service Chief Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

– It’s common sense and it’s good science, Bhattacharya said.

– There’s no evidence healthy kids need it today and most countries have stopped recommending it for children, Makary added.

Even the US Department of Health and Human Services press secretary, Vianca N. Rodriguez Feliciano, states that “HHS and the CDC remain committed to gold standard science and to ensuring the health and well-being of all Americans – especially our nation’s children”.

“A victory for all children and pregnant women”

Since the vaccines became available, the government has recommended them to almost all citizens – including children and pregnant women.

Mary Holland, CEO of Children’s Health Defense (CHD) – which early on urged the CDC not to recommend the vaccine for children and challenged the agency after the decision – welcomes the announcement.

– Hallelujah! Holland said, adding: “These dangerous, poorly tested shots have caused injuries and death to far too many children. And many of the vaccines’ long-term side effects remain unknown. This is a major step in the right direction”.

– CHD urged the CDC not to add these dangerous vaccines to the childhood schedule. When we were ignored, we fought relentlessly to get them removed. This is a victory for all children and pregnant women.

In 2022, CHD sued the US federal Food and Drug Administration for granting emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines for children and infants. The lawsuit alleged that the FDA abused its emergency use authorization power to push dangerous biological substances on minors. The organization appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court, which ultimately declined to hear the case.

“Emergency use authorized” for 5-year-olds

Even during the most panicked phases of the coronavirus crisis, experts agreed that children were at extremely low risk from COVID-19. Shortly after the vaccines were approved, side effects were reported, and peer-reviewed studies linked the vaccine to myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly in young people, in addition to several other health risks.

Despite this, public health authorities initially approved the vaccine for people aged 16 and older, and extended it to 12-year-olds in May 2021. The FDA then approved the vaccine for children aged 5 and older in October 2021, and for infants aged 6 months in June 2022.

However, the COVID-19 vaccine has never received full approval from the FDA for children under 12 – it is still only authorized for use under emergency use authorization.

Nevertheless, the CDC added COVID vaccination to its routine vaccination schedule for children and adults in February 2023, after the agency’s advisory committee unanimously recommended it. The CDC has since continued to recommend annual booster doses for children.

The federal vaccination schedule also forms the basis for the vaccination recommendations given by most doctors, and also serves as formal guidance for state and local public health authorities that determine which vaccinations are required for school attendance. Children must usually have received all vaccines on the schedule to be considered “up to date”.

Doctor testifies about vaccine injuries in US Senate hearing

The criticized covid vaccinations

The American anesthesiologist Dr. Robert Sullivan testified before the U.S. Senate in a hearing titled "Voices of the Vaccine Injured".

An anesthesiologist with 20 years of experience told US senators how he developed a life-threatening lung disease after covid-19 vaccination. Dr. Robert Sullivan was one of the witnesses in a Senate hearing on vaccine injuries held by the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee organized a hearing on July 15 titled “Voices of the Vaccine Injured” where people who claim to have been injured by covid-19 vaccines were able to share their experiences. Dr. Robert Sullivan, a licensed physician and certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of active practice in Maryland, was one of the key witnesses.

Dr. Sullivan described a dramatic change in his health condition after vaccination. The same month he received his first mRNA dose, he had been featured in the Wall Street Journal’s fitness column for his aerial circus performances.

— I was strong, healthy, and thriving. Just three weeks after my second dose, I couldn’t go up a flight of stairs without gasping for air, Sullivan told the senators.

The doctor developed constant chest pain, heart arrhythmias and overwhelming fatigue. An echocardiogram later confirmed damage to his heart and lungs.

— The diagnosis was pulmonary hypertension. I had damage and narrowing of the blood vessels in my lungs, restricting blood flow and straining the heart. This isn’t like regular high blood pressure.  Pulmonary hypertension is usually progressive and fatal even with treatment. There is no cure, Sullivan explained.

The system didn’t respond

Dr. Sullivan reported his injury to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), the US system for reporting vaccine adverse events. Despite VAERS collecting his medical records, he never heard from the US health authorities FDA or CDC.

— I believed in the system. I believed I would be heard. When I wasn’t, I channeled that disbelief into collaborating with the British Medical Journal on a report about the system’s failures. What I learned is chilling. If you are harmed, you are on your own., Sullivan said.

He explained that most doctors he knows have never heard of VAERS, and even fewer understand that there are mandatory reporting requirements. Sullivan was never taught about VAERS during his medical education and stated that it still isn’t taught.

Research predicted the problems

During his own research, Dr. Sullivan discovered that a scientist from Georgetown University had predicted exactly his type of injury in the same month the vaccines began rolling out.

— He warned that spike protein, exposure, whether from the virus or from the shot, could harm the blood vessels in the lungs and placenta, Sullivan recounted.

The doctor referenced studies showing that spike protein from the SARS-1 virus also caused vascular damage in animals, and that many hospitalized covid patients develop pulmonary hypertension.

Broad vaccination perspective despite personal injury

When Senator Johnson asked about doctors’ attitudes toward vaccines, Dr. Sullivan surprised by explaining that he is still “enthusiastic about vaccination” and that he sees covid injections as something entirely different.

— I’m not vaccine injured. I’m injured by an mRNA therapeutic. I was very careful in my testimony to use the word shot, Sullivan clarified.

He explained that training for vaccines is now limited to memorizing the schedule, but that the hidden cost of injuries is not studied or taught.

Spike protein toxicity

Senator Johnson raised the question of spike protein toxicity and criticized that many symptoms are now attributed to “long covid” instead of potential vaccine side effects.

— There are many ways to lose with this new MRI technology. There are problems with the nanoparticle. There is a separate set of problems with synthetic mRNA. It persists in some people 700 days and counting now, Dr. Sullivan responded.

He explained that when the body is instructed to manufacture a protein that is presented on the cell surface, it creates a precondition for autoimmune disorders, and that the spike protein itself is biologically active.

—  It was published in December 2020, although not widely known, that that was causing damage to placenta and to lung, Sullivan added.

Dr. Sullivan concluded his testimony with an appeal for recognition and transparent information for patients, emphasizing the importance of truly informed consent in all medical treatment.

Study: Pfizer’s covid vaccine may cause eye damage

The criticized covid vaccinations

Published 22 July 2025

According to the study, the covid vaccine may cause the cornea to thicken and reduce the number of important cells that keep vision clear.

Turkish researchers have discovered that Pfizer’s covid-19 vaccine can cause changes in the eye’s cornea that could potentially lead to vision problems. The study, which followed 64 people over three months, shows that the vaccine can make the cornea thicker and reduce the number of important cells that keep vision clear.

The researchers measured changes in the cornea’s inner layer, the endothelium, before the first vaccine dose and two months after the second dose. The results showed that both doses led to thicker corneas, fewer endothelial cells, and greater variation in cell size.

Specifically, corneal thickness increased from 528 to 542 micrometers – an increase of approximately two percent. At the same time, the number of endothelial cells decreased from 2,597 to 2,378 cells per square millimeter, a loss of about eight percent.

“The endothelium should be closely monitored in those with low endothelial cell counts or who have undergone corneal transplantation,” the researchers warn in the study published in the journal Ophthalmic Epidemiology.

Short-term impact without symptoms

In the short term, the changes suggest that Pfizer’s vaccine may temporarily weaken the endothelium, even though patients did not experience any clear vision problems during the study period. For people with healthy eyes, these small changes are unlikely to affect vision immediately.

However, if the changes persist for several years, they could lead to corneal swelling or blurred vision, particularly in people with existing eye problems or those who have undergone corneal transplantation. A thicker cornea and reduced cell density can contribute to conditions such as corneal edema or corneal decompensation, which in severe cases can cause permanent vision loss.

Need for long-term studies

The research team emphasizes the importance of long-term studies to see if the changes persist months and years after vaccination. An ophthalmologist can use special microscopy to check if someone has a low endothelial cell count.

The study adds to a growing list of concerns regarding Pfizer’s covid vaccine. In May, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) forced Pfizer and Moderna to expand warning labels about risks of heart damage, particularly for men between 16 and 25 years old.

Pharmaceutical giant’s top researcher on covid vaccine: “Nothing was safe and effective”

The criticized covid vaccinations

  • Joshua Rys, a leading regulatory researcher at pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (J&J), now confirms on hidden camera what mainstream media dismissed as "conspiracy theories".
  • "Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?" Rys asks rhetorically in the clip, among other things.
  • The slogans "safe and effective" that surrounded the mass vaccination campaign were, in his view, a direct lie from the authorities.
  • "This was just, let's test it on some lab route models, analyze and see if it works and stuff like that, and just roll it to the wind and see what happens", he adds.

Joshua Rys leads the creation and implementation of regulatory strategies for new and existing products within Johnson & Johnson in his role.

— We run the whole soup to nuts. Not only are we working on the products, but everything that has to do with the drug. We have to make sure that you understand how to use the drug, how to be able to prescribe certain pieces of information, how to communicate that to the patient, he explains his role.

In front of independent journalist James O’Keefe’s OMG hidden cameras, he confirms that Johnson & Johnson was well aware that the preparation was not safe and effective.

— Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products? You shouldn’t be surprised that this happened. It was pretty much the government kind of made a deal with pharmaceutical companies and kind of pressured the pharmaceutical companies, because we’re not going to say no to the government.

— I mean, none of that stuff was safe and effective. We didn’t do the typical test. The typical process, that’s why it takes so long to get a product on market, the typical process is all this clinical trial testing and stuff in a small population, Rys continues.

— This was just, let’s test it on some lab route models, analyze and see if it works and stuff like that, and just roll it to the wind and see what happens, he adds.

Kennedy halts US support for global vaccine alliance

The criticized covid vaccinations

Published 28 June 2025
– By Editorial Staff
According to Kennedy, Gavi has exhausted the public’s – and the US government’s – trust.

US Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced during a meeting in Brussels this week that the country is withdrawing its financial support for the global vaccine alliance Gavi.

The announcement comes as Gavi has launched a new funding round with the goal of raising at least $9 billion for the next five years.

Kennedy, who has long been highly skeptical of large-scale mass vaccination programs and experimental vaccines, sharply criticized Gavi and its collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) during the coronavirus crisis in a brief video address. He accused the alliance of systematically silencing “dissenting views” and ignoring health risks and safety issues related to the vaccines.

“In its zeal to promote universal vaccination, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance has neglected the key issue of vaccine safety”, Kennedy later wrote in a post on X, and continued:

“When vaccine safety issues have come before GAVI, it has treated them not as a patient health problem, but as a public relations problem”.

Kennedy also questioned the safety of the combined vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, claiming that research shows girls who received the vaccine are at higher risk of dying from other causes than unvaccinated children. He also expressed skepticism about WHO’s and Gavi’s recommendation to vaccinate pregnant women against COVID-19 – a recommendation he called “questionable”.

“I call on GAVI to re-earn the public trust and to justify the $8 billion dollars that America has provided in funding since 2001. Until that happens the United States won’t contribute more to GAVI. Business as usual is over”, he declared.

US promised one billion

According to Kennedy, Gavi must start “consider the best science available, even when that science contradicts established paradigms”.

In a statement on Thursday, Gavi claimed that the organization’s highest priority is children’s health and safety. They also stated that all decisions about which vaccines to procure are made according to recommendations from WHO’s expert group on vaccines.

Gavi is a global partnership between WHO, UNICEF, the Gates Foundation, the World Bank, and several governments, working to promote affordable mass vaccination programs in poor countries. The United States has long been one of the organization’s largest donors – and had, before Donald Trump’s re-election, promised support of $1 billion through 2030.
