I can’t tell you how glad I am to be released from the disgrace of Temu ACIP.

I made a commitment to watch and comment on these proceedings. Not sure I’ll do it again.

In summary, ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body.

Every U.S. state needs to decouple their vaccine policy from ACIP.

Dr. Hoeg: I would pay to see the debate between Dr. Meissner and you. Note: She is an anti-vaccine activist, and she just showed it. Not a regulator. She does not have the qualifications, not the ability, and she is just biased.

lol the ACIP committee let Aaron Siri speak for some 90 minutes and cut off CDC experts and scientists off after two minutes (sometime yelling at them to shut them up). Incredible stuff.

Attorney Siri applauds his client RFK Jr.’s change to the CDC website which now claims that vaccines may cause autism.

He is showing his cards. IMO the change was made to make it easier to file lawsuits, and I suspect it was done in collusion with Siri.

Without evidence, RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel tosses hep B vaccine recommendation There is no data supporting a delay and no evidence of harm from a birth dose.

“I will just say we have heard ‘do no harm’ is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this [recommendation],” Cody Meissner, pediatrician and voting member of ACIP said as he voted against the change.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, who cast the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr. as health and human services secretary, disapproves of what Kennedy's handpicked panel has done to limit access to hep B vaccines.

Dr. Malone thinks he's the resident expert on immunology. No evidence we need does 2 and 3 to get longterm immunity.
CDC member: fair hypothesis. No data to show it's in fact the case for hepatitis B.

Note: In the past, the #ACIP did not just make up schedules based on whether they make sense. They chose specific dates (at birth, at 2 months, etc) becuase clinical trials showed these times were the safest and most effective. The dates recommended were based on science, not conjecture

Dr. Levi still misrepresents the data and said he appreciates her "beliefs" - reminder: she's an expert in this. He is not.

Can't beat the 🩺 headlines from @arstechnica.com
Factual, and to the point

Meissner makes a motion to postpone all votes on the HBV vaccine birth dose until tomorrow because no one understands the actual text of the vote.

Seconded by Hibbeln.

"There is no significant evidence of horizontal transmission" because I can't read the article and can't evaluate the data is not, actually, a good argument, inexpert #ACIP.

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. ™ A @SenBillCassidy X.com Aaron Siri is a trial attorney who makes his living suing vaccine manufacturers. He is presenting as if an expert on childhood vaccines. The ACIP is totally discredited. They are not protecting children. cdc.gov/acip/downloads...

Chairman of Senate’s health committee with his sharpest words yet as CDC’s vaccine advisers meeting gets underway.

The question is what does Cassidy do now, beyond issue rebukes.

FDA says it won't release details of claimed Covid vaccine deaths in 'near term' Details from an investigation by CBER Director Vinay Prasad into 10 alleged child deaths related to Covid-19 vaccines won't be coming soon, an FDA spokesperson told Endpoints News on Wednesday.

Absolutely unconscionable: Dr Prasad won't share details, data, evidence, or proof of causality. We just have Dr Tracy Beth Høeg's vibes - that's the assessment.

AND:

"FDA vaccine staff disagreed with the assessment that the reported deaths were caused by vaccines"

At a time where most outlets are delicately avoiding naming things like racism, war crimes, and unconstitutional actions, huge props to Ars' @bethmariem.bsky.social for calling it like it actually is.

Meet CDC’s new lead vaccine advisor who thinks shots cause heart disease Milhoan has a history of touting unproven COVID cures while disparaging vaccines.

Martin Kulldorff gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he criticized public health responses to the crisis and co-authored an open letter advocating for letting the deadly virus spread unchecked through the population.

The destruction of the legitimacy of ACIP is so complete that the vague agenda on the left is all they have up for tomorrow’s meeting.

It looks like no CDC scientists will present. No materials are posted.

Usually ACIP posts a detailed agenda which includes materials (see example on right).

🚨The Trump administration just WITHDREW a proposed rule to make sure cosmetics products are tested for cancer-causing asbestos.

Does exposing more Americans to asbestos Make America Healthy Again??

I wrote the law that required this testing—this move is dangerous and wrong.

Weaponization of the premier public health agency in the country for personal clout and gain. The CDC website should not be trusted given the fact that it is controlled by people who will profit from spurious and false attempts to link vaccines to autism.

www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.

Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Note the language in second photo.

Welp.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:
