But the PREP Act creates a liability shield for the COVID vaccines and there is no way they will EVER declare that "emergency" to end. So you can't sue for the COVID shots.
A group of school nurses testified to a rise in childhood diabetes 5 years after the introduction of Hep B vaccine. It will be interesting to see if there is a drop in the childhood diabetes rate with the vaccine being taken off the mandatory list.
A tale of two individuals trying to make a difference in the Covid World. A Pharmacist from 2020. A Plastic Surgeon more recently, before the hanging judge could act, the New Sheriff’s deputy dismissed the case. Slap on the wrists compared to the Pharmacist who got 3 years in federal prison in 2021 and a fine of $83,300 to pay restitution for the doses he tampered with.
One of the finest essays I’ve written in TCP was because of the pharmacist, a long time ago. It was entitled Debunking vs. Disproving, which I have included in today’s publication.
I then entered into a debate with Grok AI about Grok’s philosophical comparison of the two cases, which was indeed intriguing. I then set about to “educate” Grok about the differences with the two statements:
That was debunked and That was Disproven
I then confirmed with Grok that it understood the differences, and boy did I get an earful in varied topics such as Moral Culpability and Justice and Selective Application. I think you’ll enjoy, the new, expanded version of what I had tried to say simply almost 6 years ago.
Finally this question is answered! It has been nagging at me, since they are still recommended and still paid for. Thank you! It will be a tragedy if RFK misses this opportunity to take at least these off of the injury list. Unless they are removed, doctors will still push them. When there is a chance for a legal remedy, they will think twice.

on the U.S. schedule (the “non-consensus vaccines”) should be recommended for high-risk
groups and populations >>
See the chart on page 2 of that document “immunizations recommended for certain high risk groups or populations” — all populations of children.
All vaccines dropped from the “core” schedule will continue to be recommended for children by the HHS which means they will continue to get the liability shield.
the recommendation is narrow and was mentioned in this article. It may still be removed from the vaccine injury list, where it loses the liability shield. This is how I understand it.
It is a known fact that the members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not read or debate the particulars of the Legislation they vote on.
They cannot read or debate the issues because the Laws and Bills approach 500 pages each. And they do this 65 times per day.
During the 1992 Presidential campaign Ross Perot called attention to this by observing that "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy was the one specific reason that the people in America suffered".
Mr. Perot then suggested that the best and perhaps only way
to make government officials accountable was to include the citizens in the decision making process - every hour, every day.
He went on to note that this can easily be done with computers
and called the proposed mechanism
THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.
With this computer program every interested citizen can indicate
whether or not they agree or disagree with every line item of every law, policy and program on the books or that was being advanced. It can be used at every level of government and in every jurisdiction.
To prevent chaos the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights would be exempt from review.
Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available. He referred to it as the Fourth Branch of government; The Citizens Branch / The Electronic Townhall.
If the government is truly of the people, by the people and for the people then what better way is there to perfect every section of the various laws and policies that do effect each and every one of us every single day?
“Vaccines Are Unavoidably Unsafe” Don’t take my word for it. These are the words of Justice Scalia in Bruesewitz v. Wyeth, LLC in a Supreme Court decision in 2011. Unfortunately, due to the protections afforded the vaccine maker in the National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986, the Court ruled against a vaccine injured plaintiff in the case. How?
In the 1980s, children were having adverse reactions to the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine. Lots of lawsuits were being filed against docs and vaccine manufacturers. This caused the pharmaceutical industry to threaten pulling out of the vaccine market, and the alarm bells rang that the nation’s health and safety were at risk. Why were vaccine manufacturers getting ready to take their ball and go home? Because vaccines fall into a class of products considered “unavoidably unsafe.” I am not kidding you. This “unavoidable” word comes from the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act itself “products which, in the present state of human knowledge, are quite incapable of being made safe.”
In 1986, Congress decided on a way to compensate folks for these avoidable injuries and death. It is called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. From 2001 until 2011 the program has compensated about 2500 families a total of $2 billion. There has been close to $4 billion paid to date since inception. But, that represents only a small fraction of those who actually brought claims to the Vaccine Court. You see, there is a 36 month window to bring the claim. There is no “tolling” granted for minors, unlike all the Civil Courts in the U.S. Guess what? Neurological injuries may not present in infants for long after 36 months. Furthermore, who knows how many cases were never brought by attorneys on behalf of a vaccine injured child, because the statute of limitations ran out?
Don’t let anyone tell you that vaccines don’t cause injury. They have, they do and they will do so in the future. For years, Thimerosal was used as a preservative in multi-dose vials. While still proclaiming it “safe”, vaccine makers “voluntarily” removed Thimerosal. It is still present in trace amounts and in flu vaccine. Thimerosal was never approved by the FDA, as the patents predated the establishment of said regulations. Worried?
With nearly 6,000 cases pending the USCFC held the “Omnibus Autism Hearings.” They decided not to make “autism” a “table injury.” How convenient. Since there would never be enough money to pay for all who claim an “autism” injury. But, there have been many cases compensated for “encephalopathy” as a diagnosis with reference to autism. You can read it for yourself:
For the record, I am not “anti-vaccine.” Both of my children were fully vaccinated. Unfortunately for us, our son was neurologically disabled by vaccines. It is indisputable, yet the government and the vaccine makers still think that there is a “greater good” to be served.
They may be right. But, let’s not fool ourselves. Vaccines can be made safer. It is about money.
We sued numerous vaccine makers in 2002. We were railroaded by a Congress which enacted the 'Lilly Rider" literally in the middle of the night, attaching it to the Homeland Security Act. We were subsequently "dismissed" in USCFC, as it continues to deny hearings by ignoring due process, relying upon an unconstitutional limitation rule which limits claims to a 36 month window. There is no "tolling" for minors, nor for those who have been rendered "incompetent." This flies in the face of precedent and statute in both State and U.S. District Courts across the nation.
The liability shield must end and the floodgates opened to litigation by the same standards that apply to all tortuous behavior by product manufacturers. RFK can do this with the help of Congress if they repeal the NCVIA 1986 which protects Phrma.
Please read my essay of decades ago, also posted separately, if you like to grasp the history here.
Recommended suggests parents had informed consent where no one would coerce or threaten with loss of schooling ability etc. You have to do this or this is not Informed Consent and goes against the Nuremberg Code. Moving forward we must create a fully mandated informed consent policy to stop the deaths and injuries that we have seen and have been forced into silence for years regarding. Expose the real data and let people recognise that there is in fact a problem with vaccines.
This is good news. However still too many vaccines for a young immune system. As children we got one: Polio ( given at school without parental consent) And boy, did we thrive.
Has anyone done an analysis to determine the benefit of any vaccine versus getting the disease or being exposed and creating immunity the way it used to be done before vaccines? We were rarely kept at home missing school if we had measles, chicken pox, etc. In fact we and our parent were encouraged to get us exposed to create an immune reaction. I don't ever remember anyone in my grade or above dying from a childhood disease.
Why is there anything added to a vaccine to help the immune system recognize it when that never happens in nature? Our bodies don't seem to have any problem recognizing any antigen when it is presented to us in a normal environment.
Can anyone explain how someone never got a scab from the small pox vaccine scratch even having it more than once and bleeding both times but it was healed completely in 48 hours with no scab formation. I know what the answer is now after taking a course in immunology in college but I want to see if anyone else knows.
Thank you for putting to paper some if the legal language franework that VASTLY... I cannot overstate it... vastly more important than any randomized double blinded controlled blah blah blah study.
The pathway into the vaccine mandate madness was with all things legalese. Therefore the ONLY way back out is through the same legal approach. The mandates were NEVER born out of science. Rather it was an ROI protective necessity which birthed the hideous mandated schedule.
Unfortunately the CFR is legally very malleable and just like executive orders is only one administration away from being changed.
Granted this is a HUGE step in the right direction but we are treadmilling until HR5546 from 1986 is fully rescinded.
It’ll be interesting to read the vaccine makers comment letters to the proposed revision should Kennedy decide to revise the table. Has Aaron Siri addressed this issue?

Steve,
I think you missed the last sentence on page 1 of this HHS document:
https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/assessment-of-the-us-childhood-and-adolescent-immunization-schedule-compared-to-other-countries.pdf
“No vaccine should be moved to the ‘not
recommended’ category.”
Bingo! More context:
<< All other vaccines currently
on the U.S. schedule (the “non-consensus vaccines”) should be recommended for high-risk
groups and populations >>
See the chart on page 2 of that document “immunizations recommended for certain high risk groups or populations” — all populations of children.

RFK Jr., The number of Vaccines recommended for AMERICAN CHILDREN should be ZERO. That's ZERO with a Z. Fuck ups in charge...
Zero recommendation is excellent. Parents can decide if they want their children vaccinated.
We sued numerous vaccine makers in 2002. We were railroaded by a Congress which enacted the 'Lilly Rider" literally in the middle of the night, attaching it to the Homeland Security Act.

Recommended is not in fact mandated.
Recommended suggests parents had informed consent where no one would coerce or threaten with loss of schooling ability etc. You have to do this or this is not Informed Consent and goes against the Nuremberg Code.

The fact it's not liable is a red flag that it is dangerous.
or will become so.
The Liability Shield must be struck down across the board as it creates a huge conflict of interest.
Outstanding post Steve.
