“unlawfully biased or unbalanced”?!!! If being biased is a crime, then everyone from the entire history of our government’s involvement in science and medicine needs to be arrested!

The judge determined that the ACiP members weren’t qualified citing Retsef Levi, an MIT PhD mathematician and Dr. Robert Malone, a vaccine expert. Apparently Levi is incapable of understanding medical data despite the fact that he’s dissected hundreds of studies. And he opined that Dr. Malone, an mRNA vaccine pioneer who holds multiple patents on the technology, isn’t qualified because he hasn’t worked on vaccines for over 30 years and some people say he’s not qualified. Apparently he never read Dr. Malone’s CV. He’s been continuously involved in vaccine and drug development for over 30 years. He has been scientific officer for pharmaceutical companies, designed and monitored several medical trials, worked for the DoD on bio defense, and advised the WHO on threats like H1N1 and Ebola as recently as 2019. The judge said he was unqualified because the AAP said he was without questioning their assertion or independently assessing his qualifications.

I disagree with Steve’s odds assessment. The stay will be overturned on appeal, if not at the Circuit Court, by SCOTUS. The SC has already spanked Judge Murphy, an eleventh hour Biden appointed, twice in the last six months for his crazy rulings. But getting his stay reversed only means the case will proceed to the trial phase where Murphy will likely rule against us again. Then more appeals and another spanking for Murphy as he gets reversed again.

The deep state is working overtime on a federal and state level to STOP Americans from being healthy again! Criminal! https://thomasabraunrph.substack.com/p/growing-cancer

Sounds totally corrupt.

Change the schedule. Just do it. Impeach the Judge. Defund his position. Enough with the BS

W/e the case ... so far the results have been no where near far enough ... 72 -> ~31 or so ... a good thing.

We likely need 72 -> 0.

What will happen here is there will be one sentence in the ruling that makes it sound like there will be change but effectively there will be no change. Phama wins.

This judge thinks ACIP is biased. That's rich. Pharma and the regulators and the HHS and its subagencies have been biased for decades. Has this NOT impartial judge read Vaccines, Amen, yet?

likely not.

The AAP bringing this lawsuit has failed to even question our dismal infant mortality rate (worse than 26 developed countries) and the soaring rates of chronic diseases. The organization no longer has any credibility.

great observation!

BTW, the current ACIP committee is impeccably credentialed.

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the States that have chosen to follow AAP rather than FDA/CDC guidance are still recommending mandatory frequent COVID-19 mRNA vaccine boosting for children and adults despite knowledge of immune damage. IgG4 class switching and tolerance.

The unintended consequences of what may have been willful ignorance of these facts have yielded the curious case of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine-driven IgG4 class switching, which has now been documented in many peer-reviewed publications investigating the immunological consequences of repeated boosting as previously recommended by the FDA and CDC.

Examples include:

For the sake of completeness, currently (2025–26), the FDA and CDC have moved toward variant-updated vaccines with guidance that focuses on risk-based, individualized decisions about additional doses rather than a blanket booster schedule for all ages.

This is another AAP policy. Hospitals can receive an award for giving the shot called “Birth Dose Honor Roll: Achieved a coverage rate of 90% or greater for administering Hepatitis B vaccine before hospital discharge to all newborns regardless of weight. The AAP (that is still recommending Covid shots for children) put out an “improving compliance” recommendation in 2017 to “bundle vaccination with early tasks such as first bath” and to “use verbal consent” (vs. written consent) to ensure a higher compliance rate prior to discharge. The nurse could simply check a box in the medical record saying verbal consent was given. Many were never asked, and none were given informed consent. All risk, no benefit in the majority of newborns.

The same AAP that acknowledged that SIDS deaths were being obfuscated, and did nothing to remedy.

“The observation that the increase in the rates of non-SIDS causes of sudden unexpected infant death could account for >90% of the drop in the SIDS rates suggests that a change in classification may be occurring.”

https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/115/5/1247/67529/Changes-in-the-Classification-of-Sudden-Unexpected?

Using different codes for essentially the same thing artificially lowers the incidence.

This ruling illustrates why we need Congress to pass the bills ending liability shield provided by the 1986 Vaccine Act and the Prep Act. Eliminate those shields and most of the vaccines will probably go away. End the Vaccine Carveout Act" (S. 3853, H.R. 9828) and "Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered (LIABLE) Act" (H.R. 1432, H.R. 7551).

The same AAP ignored this study that showed a link between neonatal HepB and autism. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21058170/

The AAP, not satisfied with 85% of newborns being vaccinated prior to discharge, issued guidance that HepB vaccine be administered to well newborns with birth weight ≥2000 grams (that’s a 4.4 lb preemie) within 24 hours after birth. They succeeded in increasing the vax rate, but did not appear to do any follow-up to assess the development of autism.

This is the same AAP that continues to recommend the Covid shots in children, even after it became clear that the risks far outweighed the benefit. The exact condition for which it was so strongly promoted (MIS-C) was known to be an adverse effect of the shots (Pfizer document dated 2/28/2021, FOIA).

The AAP should support an individualized risk assessment, not a blanket policy.
