As you may have heard on January 5th, 2026 The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) made some pretty major changes to the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine schedule. They removed 5 vaccines and reduced the overall number of doses, which at one time was up to 80 doses when you include annual flu and covid shots and doses during pregnancy. At the same time, Massachusetts has changed its laws, with no public input, so we no longer look to the CDC's ACIP schedule for our vaccine recommendations. According to a January 14th, 2026 press release from Governor Healey, "The state continues to recommend the full routine pediatric vaccination schedule endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), rather than adopt the recent changes issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)." This makes things more than a little confusing. We created this graphic to help decipher these changes and what they mean for you. Something very important to keep in mind is that a RECOMMENDATION is not a REQUIREMENT. There is no law requiring vaccination except as a condition for attending public or private school or licensed daycare. 👇links to download in comments @bostonbroadside @MassDailyNews @agenturban @ChildrensHD @islantstudio @mafamilyaction1 @MassSaysNO @NicHulscher @McCulloughFund @P_McCulloughMD @maryhollandnyc @TheKuhnerReport @johnfgately @JohnBeaudoinSr @CHD_NewEngland @JeffereyJaxen @ICANdecide @AaronSiriSG

In my speech in Parliament this afternoon, I argue that those who forced the COVID vaccine on our healthy population must finally be held accountable.

🔥PEDIATRICIAN TELLS ALL: ‘70 to 80% of our practice income comes from vaccines.’  For some reason, many people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that pediatricians DO MAKE MONEY from vaccinating.  Here is yet ANOTHER report from a pediatric doctor that their offices CANNOT FUNCTION without vaccinating.  “If we stop vaccinating, we basically don't have a practice anymore.” “We have a strong financial incentive to believe what we're told about the vaccine program being safe, effective, and necessary.” @CHDTVLive

In England, vaccine uptake landed around 70 percent, meaning 30 percent never took a single dose. Denmark came in the same. So did Finland. Africa was even lower. America lands in that same range, roughly 30 percent who never vaccinated. That number is worth sitting with. Under the largest coordinated propaganda campaign I’ve ever seen, every government on earth, the WHO, the WEF, the UN, all working in lockstep with a twenty four hour news cycle, 30 percent of humanity still said no. Different countries, different media systems, and the number held steady everywhere. We didn’t even know there were this many of us. People were too afraid to talk about it at work. When employers mandated vaccination to return, I told people to start talking to their coworkers. If the numbers held true in their own workplace, 30 percent of the room could have walked out together. Thirty percent changes governments. This is an international movement, and we have to keep speaking up loudly, or we lose both free speech and the most powerful chance for change we’ve had in a generation.

I'm a Board Certified anesthesiologist and have been in practice for 24 years. I just learned that the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where I trained has launched a program to increase flu vaccine uptake among children by vaccinating them while under anesthesia. The program is called "Close your Eyes. We'll Immunize" This is stunningly irresponsible. Here's why: Anesthetists are extremely risk avoidant and endeavor to minimize patient exposure to anything which carries potential side effects. This is particularly true of pediatric patients who very often have never been exposed to anesthetic medications. We simply cannot know how an individual child will respond to these drugs for the first time. Every single medication we administer during an operation can potentially trigger untoward or allergic responses. When this occurs our primary responsibility is to stabilize the patient. Our secondary responsibility is to identify the offending agent. There is absolutely no justification of introducing another agent, in this case a flu vaccine, which carries a risk of harm and contributes nothing to the success of the operation. Some of the more common side effects of flu vaccines are fever (11-16%) and less commonly, a rash (1%). There is also an non-zero risk of severe allergic reactions and high-grade fevers which can develop over the course of minutes. What if a child under anesthesia receives a vaccine and develops a rash and/or fever? Is it from the antibiotic that the surgeon requested? Is it from the narcotic? The anxiolytic? The barbiturate? Anesthetic gases can also (rarely) trigger a life threatening response called Malignant Hyperthermia which commonly presents as a high fever. Without subsequent testing we cannot know which agent was responsible. Most commonly the testing is never done and the child’s record will forever reflect the possibility that some or all of the drugs which were used are responsible for their reaction. This makes future anesthetic care significantly more challenging and will require the use of alternatives which may not be necessary. Advocating for a flu vaccine while a child is anesthetized reflects the pervasive yet inaccurate attitude among the medical establishment that vaccines are perfectly safe. I simply cannot believe that my mentors would have ever supported this initiative when I was a resident there. Close your eyes indeed.

My origin story of how I went from a “trust the science” RN to telling people to use alternative & natural medicine whenever possible. Before March 2020, I had never once seen a patient get intubated just because their oxygen number looked bad. We treated the person in front of us - if they were walking, talking, and not in distress, we didn’t sedate them and shove a tube down their throat to breathe for them. Numbers were one piece of the picture, not the whole thing. Then COVID hit and everything flipped overnight. Suddenly we were intubating people who walked into the ER on their own, could hold a conversation, and weren’t gasping for air. The doctors said their low sats meant they were about to crash. It went against everything I’d been taught- treat the patient, not the numbers. Visitors weren’t allowed, so we let them FaceTime their families right before we did it. I looked them in the eyes and told them it was temporary- we’d wake them in a few days and they’d be home in no time. Right after the tube went in, we started Remdesivir. For the first couple days it felt like we were doing something heroic. Then the patients started dying. Multi-organ failure. The same people I’d joked with and reassured hours or days earlier were gone. I kept thinking, “How is this virus killing relatively young, healthy people this fast even with the best treatment we have?” By day six I noticed something that made my stomach drop: the COVID patients who refused intubation, including elderly ones with a list of comorbidities, were doing fine. Not one of them died. I started pointing it out to every doctor and nurse I worked with. They looked at me like I was crazy. By day nine the picture got worse. Patients who refused the tube but still got Remdesivir were dying at roughly 50%. The explanation I kept hearing was “only the sickest get the drug.” But that didn’t match what I was watching, what I was trained to see. By day ten I was not so quietly telling every person I knew: if you end up in the hospital with COVID, do not consent to intubation or Remdesivir. Do not allow them to do that to your loved ones. My ER kept doing both anyway. Even after the pattern was obvious to anyone who was actually in the rooms. Later I found out hospitals were getting paid extra for COVID patients who were intubated, more if they got Remdesivir, and still more for every day spent in an ICU bed. Once you see the incentives, the refusal to change course stops looking like pure science. I still can’t fully wrap my head around how fast the rules changed and how hard it was to get anyone to look at the actual results in front of us. I went from “trust the experts” to “watch what happens to the patients and decide for yourself.” If you were on the front lines and saw something different, say so. If you weren’t, this is why a lot of us stopped automatically trusting the system and have dropped out of it. I’m the villain and the hero of my own story and it’s hard to reconcile with either.

Every surgeon general should have this level of ethical clarity and respect for rights. Thank you @FLSurgeonGen
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo just delivered a fierce defense of his decision to end vaccine mandates for Hep B, chickenpox, Hib, and pneumococcal. Bookmark this. “Parental rights … absolutely need to be protected.” “It’s not a debate.” “They’re immutable.” “We’re not having a debate over what the herd immunity thresholds are.” “We’re not having a debate over the effectiveness of these different vaccines, which vary.” “We’re not having a debate over the safety of these different vaccines, which varies.” “Herd immunity isn’t constant for different vaccines.” “Some vaccines may protect against illness, but may not protect against transmission.” “To advance the goals of public health, one of the things is that we need to respect … parental rights.” “That’s been lost, unfortunately, in the conversation about public health recently.” “We’re not actually doing anything very new.” “We’re sort of falling back to classic tenets of public health.” @FLSurgeonGen @HealthyFla

In 1994, Katie Couric @katiecouric and NBC @NBCNews were openly reporting on concerns about DTP vaccine injuries, including high-pitched, inconsolable crying in infants. Just eight years earlier, facing mounting DTP injury and death lawsuits and potential financial ruin, vaccine manufacturers pressed Washington for relief. In 1986, President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, shielding manufacturers from vaccine injury and death lawsuits and instead redirecting families into a federal vaccine injury compensation program. And here's something every parent should know: That federal program still provides just $250,000 for a vaccine-related death—the same amount established 40 years ago, without a single inflation adjustment. Is that all your child's life is worth in the eyes of the federal government? No amount of money could ever replace a child. Meanwhile, the childhood vaccination schedule has expanded dramatically, pharmaceutical advertising has become the major source of media revenue, and autism diagnoses have skyrocketed. Yet today, legitimate questions about vaccine injuries are too often met with the same response: “Safe and effective.” Conversation closed. Parents who raise concerns about possible vaccine injuries are too often dismissed, ridiculed, and made to question what they witnessed in their own children. Parents deserve to be heard, not gaslit. Their concerns deserve investigation, not dismissal. Science should welcome questions, not silence them. Parents deserve transparency. Vaccine-injured families deserve recognition, support, and accountability. And informed consent is NONNEGOTIABLE. 💜 Repeal the liability protections established by the 1986 Act. ✍️ Sign VSRF's petition and make your voice heard! vacsafety.org/petition-repea…

Did you know the death rate from measles declined by 98% before the measles vaccine was introduced? Here, Aaron Siri discusses that earlier decline and the contributions of better nutrition, sanitation and clean water. The decline had nothing to do with vaccines. Why then does the medical field have such a rigid ideological attachment to vaccines? The history helps explain it. But that history is only part of the problem. We also need to examine how vaccine safety is established, and what happens when the studies cannot answer the questions patients and their families are asking. 🧵

10/ So we should be asking Massachusetts to release them: The Welcome Family assessment instrument. Consent and privacy forms. Data dictionary. Retention rules. Data-use agreements. And a definitive answer to: Does Welcome Family collect vaccine status or access MIIS—and if so, under what circumstances?

🚨 MASSACHUSETTS IS BUILDING A PUBLIC-HEALTH NETWORK THAT BEGINS AT BIRTH Gov. Maura Healey, describing her postpartum initiative: “Everybody in the state when you have a baby you’re going to have a home visit.” But the state’s written materials say Welcome Family is voluntary. That apparent tension sent me into the underlying laws, state records, immunization system, advisory meetings, and data architecture. What I found deserves scrutiny. 🧵👇

Dr. Meryl Nass just secured a massive legal victory for Covid dissidents. She pierced the immunity of the medical board that suspended her license over Covid “disinformation.” A judge ruled she can now sue the board members personally. “Their broad immunity that they thought would protect them has been pierced.” “The judge said, ‘You can go after them for damages, even potentially including punitive damages.’” This sets a groundbreaking precedent. “There were a whole lot of doctors out there that had similar attacks.” “Somebody had to do it.” @nass_meryl @Polyface_Farms

Rep. Thomas Massie just called for the prosecution of the FDA official who laid the groundwork for Covid shot mandates. He never got a pardon. “Peter Marks.” “Prosecute that son of a …” “He made himself the vaccine approval expert.” “And he gave [Covid shots] the BLA so that then they could be mandated.” “The very next day, the military mandate came out.” “It’s corrupt as hell.” “Philip Kraus and Marion Gruber… have been at the FDA in charge of vaccines for 30 years.” “During the Biden administration, they were forced out by Peter Marks, who was their boss.” “Because they said not everybody needs a booster.” “They weren’t going to cut corners on the science, and so they got forced out.” @RepThomasMassie @Polyface_Farms

Shapiro: “Two people died from measles.” Public: “Can you prove that?” Shapiro: “That question does not serve the interests of public health and anyone who asks it is a conspiracy theorist” And they wonder why public trust is gone.
Josh Shapiro was just asked why he claimed a newborn infant who died of a spleen rupture died due to being unvaccinated for measles: "I don't think it serves the interest of public health for me to get into a back and forth about conspiracy theories showing up online." I'm pretty sure what actually doesn't serve public health is a politician lying to score political points because he wants to run for President.

This appears to be false information. For the 1st case they are pointing to an infant that died WITH measles, but not FROM it. From our coroner: “Lancaster County Coroner Steve Diamantoni said the cause of death was not from the measles. The newborn died shortly after birth from a laceration of the spleen, although measles antibodies were present in postmortem testing, he said in an interview.” The 2nd case there is zero information on. They have a responsibility to provide it. Lastly, deaths from contagious disease such as measles ARE required to be reported the county coroner.
"As a pediatrician with more than 30 years of caring for children, I have thoroughly reviewed the case investigation information and sadly can confirm that there were two recent measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County, which were reported to the CDC’s measles response team early Tuesday morning. DOH’s Epidemiology team thoroughly investigated and verified both individuals tested positive for measles. The information was not reported to the public until the results of the epidemiological investigations were confirmed. Under state law, PA DOH is not required to report deaths to coroners. Our staff have regular meetings with professional staff at the CDC, including additional meetings specifically about these cases — in fact, as recently as this afternoon. I deeply appreciate the supportive working relationship between the PA DOH and CDC professional staff. As a pediatrician, public health professional, and mother, my heart goes out to the impacted families and I have, and will continue to do, everything in my power to protect their confidentiality." - Dr. Debra Bogen, Secretary of Health

Our County Coroner who has statutory authority to determine cause and manner of death under the law says the infant did not die of measles. There is no current evidence of any second death. Your headline is false. Retract it now.
