RFK Jr.'s revenge: CDC vaccine board FIRED after years of COVID lies



Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just pulled one of his boldest moves yet under the Trump administration and fired the CDC’s vaccine advisory board after removing COVID shots from children's and pregnant women’s vaccine schedules.

“This is the first true consequence that I think we have seen,” BlazeTV host Steve Deace says on “Blaze News I The Mandate,” noting that “almost every major health care policy position” in Trump’s administration has gone to “some form of COVID scamdemic skeptic.”

“The nomination of RFK Jr. as secretary of HHS, guys, might be the closest we’re ever going to get in America to a tribunal on what happened during that period of time. And now, this is the closest thing to real consequences — people losing their jobs — that we have seen,” he continues.


The CDC vaccine advisory board in question has existed for decades and, according to Deace, has “never once found that a single vaccine was unsafe.”

“Now, just to put this in some context ... Moderna, as a company, for over a decade tried to bring a singular product to market but was never able to do it one time, until the COVID vaccine,” he explains.

“So somehow, somehow they were unable to harness this mRNA technology for over a decade to successfully bring one, not even a single product to market one time, and yet, under the gun, the pressure of a once-in-a-century pandemic, they pulled it off,” he continues.

“We’re talking about a panel that at least 25 years did not find one single shot unsafe, including the COVID vaccines. So that just kind of gives you an idea of who this panel is,” he adds.

A teacher’s choice: Fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine



When COVID hit in 2020, New York City was one of the last places you’d have wanted to be if you valued your medical freedom.

Michael Kane, a public school special education teacher with over 13 years of experience, was employed in the city — before he was fired for refusing to take the experimental shot.

“I was fired for declining the shot, I’ve been suing ever since. Thank God for Bobby Kennedy and Children’s Health Defense. They picked up my lawsuits who are still suing today in a case called Kane vs. De Blasio, as well as New Yorkers for Religious Liberty vs. the City of New York and many, many, other cases,” Kane tells Nicole Shanahan on “Back to the People.”

Kane, who founded Teachers for Choice — which is a group of educators that opposes forced medical mandates — also very publicly left the teachers' union after seeing how weaponized it became during COVID.


“We were certainly pushed out and punished for having anything that wasn’t, you know, Faucian or dogmatic. You really needed to walk that line, so there’s definitely a target on me,” Kane explains, noting that while he doesn’t believe teachers' unions shouldn’t exist, “national and now international unions are a plague.”

And a plague that’s heavily infested with political corruption.

“Randi Weingarten and the head of the American Federation of Teachers went to the Ukraine on a mission. Why is the head of the teachers' union going to Ukraine? I’ll tell you why, because she’s really good friends with Joe and Jill Biden,” Kane tells Shanahan.

“That politicization is extremely, extremely dangerous,” he says. “I respect the institution of unions, but they’ve been horribly corrupted with politics that goes way beyond their membership, and when COVID came, it was clear they were not representing their members at all.”

“It ended up being Randi Weingarten going on ‘Meet the Press’ in August of 2021 and saying, ‘It’s time to mandate our members.’ And that was it. From that moment, then-Mayor Bill De Blasio did the mandate, because the truth is, Randy Weingarten’s more powerful than him,” Kane explains.

“So at the time, when things went down with COVID, I did leave the union, I saw no other option. I saw no one supporting us, and I led kind of a movement in New York City, at least at that time, that did that. And we got fired, and then we had to fight in the courts, and we lost our jobs, and we didn’t come back, and we’re still fighting in the courts,” he continues.

A year and a half later, Kane and around 60 other fired workers, mostly teachers, went to the union Labor Day rally in New York City — where they protested Weingarten.

“We chanted, ‘End all mandates, let us work,’ and we did that a couple of times, and all the rank and file cheered. All of them,” Kane recalls. “Randi ran away from me, she wouldn’t talk to me, but it forced her into a situation where she came on my show.”

“‘Here’s this dude, Mike Kane, that’s fired, and my members are cheering for him right now. That’s an issue,’” he continues. “Even if we didn’t have all the national cameras on it, that’s an issue internally for her.”

While Kane is proud of the major steps made toward a better system in New York City, he’s not convinced what goes on behind the scenes has been rectified quite yet.

“We’ll see what happens in the internal New York City politics,” he says.

HHS scraps COVID vaccine schedule for children and pregnant women: 'It's common sense, and it's good science'



The Health and Human Services Department announced Tuesday that the COVID vaccine will be dropped from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended vaccine schedule for healthy pregnant women and children.

By amending the vaccine schedule, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is combatting the residual COVID hysteria from former President Joe Biden's administration. Kennedy made the highly anticipated announcement alongside Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Martin Makary, who serves as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

"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," Kennedy said.

'We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again.'

"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 said.

"That ends today," Bhattacharya added. "It's common sense, and it's good science."

Prior to the announcement, the CDC recommended the COVID vaccine to any person over 6 months old, particularly people over the age of 65, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and women planning to conceive.

Despite the CDC's previous recommendations, several studies and medical professionals have indicated that the COVID vaccines are not as effective or as necessary as they were originally made out to be. Some even noted a range of adverse effects on children and pregnant women.

"There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children," Makary said.

This is just the latest effort from President Donald Trump's administration to restore faith in American institutions, especially when it comes to health. Just last week, Kennedy released his highly anticipated MAHA report, which shed light on potential root causes for chronic health issues like chemical exposure, ultra-processed foods, and over-medicalization of children.

"We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again," Kennedy said.

House Judiciary Investigating Whether Pfizer Delayed Vaccine Data To Influence 2020 Election Results

'Let's just say it wasn't a coincidence'

Trump’s surgeon general nominee praised censorship; called COVID vax a ‘gift from God’



CBS News has just released a report accusing Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, surgeon general nominee, of deliberately misrepresenting the truth regarding her academic career — but Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” has other concerns about Nesheiwat.

Concerns that she believes should lead to the withdrawal of President Trump’s nomination.

“The most serious reason that senators must vote ‘no,’” Wheeler says, is that “Janette Nesheiwat called the COVID vax a ‘gift from God.’”

“She praised Facebook and other Big Tech companies for censoring what she called ‘anti-vax information,’” Wheeler continues. “And remember what these people, how these people, define ‘anti-vax information.’ Anything that discourages people from following their advice is what they consider to be anti-vax.”


“First of all, vaccines save lives, and I am so excited and I thank and I commend Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for taking action because this affects everyone. This affects our children, it affects adults. I mean, just look at the recent measles outbreak, the biggest outbreak that we’ve had in decades with measles and that’s no joke,” Nesheiwat said in an interview on Fox Business.

“And that’s no joke,” she continued. “Measles can cause brain inflammation and pneumonia and ear infections and hearing loss and death. So it’s about time that they are taking action, and I hope and pray that other social media platforms will follow suit and do the same thing.”

“As if that’s not bad enough, maybe the most polarizing, maybe, maybe, the COVID vaccine is the most polarizing part of COVID. Maybe it was the lockdowns, maybe it was the social distancing, maybe it was the masking, maybe it was closing your businesses, maybe it was masking your children in school,” Wheeler comments.

“Guess who supported masking children in school? Dr. Janette Nesheiwat,” she continues.

In October 2021, Nesheiwat posted on social media that “masks have saved thousands of lives and prevented thousands of infections.”

“No scientific evidence of this, this is a stupid opinion. Not quite as harmful as masking children in school, but stupid,” Wheeler comments.

“There’s simply no question that President Trump should withdraw the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat from surgeon general, and the senators on the HELP committee in the United States Senate should vote no, should absolutely vote no,” she adds.

Trump’s gone silent on the COVID vax — and singer John Rich knows why



President Donald Trump has faced serious criticism from the right over Operation Warp Speed, which oversaw the expedited creation of the COVID-19 vaccine to combat the pandemic.

The criticism hasn’t stopped, as Trump continued to champion his creation despite the outrage against it. However, Trump has gone eerily silent on the matter in recent months — and singer John Rich knows why.

“We’re sitting there, and everybody’s eating their food, and President Trump is not president at this time, and he’s talking to the senators and talking about really important stuff and I’m just minding my own business, going, ‘I don’t know how I got in this room,’” Rich said on the “Try That in a Small Town Podcast.”

That’s when Trump turned to Rich and asked him an important question.


“‘You play for really big crowds?’ I go, ‘I do play for really big crowds, for a long time.’ He goes, ‘Have you seen these rallies I’m doing, it’s 30,000-40,000 people.’ I said, ‘Yeah, it’s unbelievable.’ He goes, ‘So here’s the question. Why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine?’” Rich explained.

“I said, ‘Let me start off by saying this, we the American people do not trust the people that you were forced to trust at the time when this was happening,’” he continued. “And I said, ‘By the people we don’t trust, here’s who I mean: the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO, Fauci, and all the rest of them.’ I said, ‘Mr. President, we consider them to be a bunch of murderous depopulationist psychopaths.’”

“I said, ‘Now let me tell you why they’re booing you,’” he says. “‘Because every human being out in that rally, either themselves, or they know someone directly, who has been harmed by the vaccine or has even died from it, including me.’ I said, ‘I got members of my own family who were forced to take it against their will to keep their jobs, and now they’ve got all kinds of problems.’”

According to Rich, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was also sitting at the table and told Trump not to listen to “conspiracy theorists like John Rich.”

But he clearly didn’t listen to Graham, as when Rich was finished, he claims Trump said, “Well, I guess no more vaccine talk.”

Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” is impressed, not just with John Rich, but Trump’s reaction.

“One of Trump’s greatest strengths that he gets no credit for," she says, "is that he listens."

RFK Jr.’s pharma ad ban: TV’s $6.9 billion question



Whether you’re streaming shows on Hulu or turning on cable TV to catch the news, you’re bound to encounter pharmaceutical advertisements that always end with a lengthy list of side effects.

Those ads always feature smiling, happy supposed customers oblivious to the side effect voice-over that usually lists “death” as one of issues they may face.

However, you’ll only see those ads if you live in the United States or New Zealand, because they’re the only countries that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise prescription drugs on TV — a practice that the U.S. adopted after FDA rule changes in 1997 and that New Zealand regulates under its Medicines Act.


Now, Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. aims to change that.

RFK argues that these commercials fuel overmedication and Big Pharma’s influence. Taking them down could disrupt the $6.9 billion pharma TV ad market — which could also disrupt television itself.

“I hate to have broadcast entities lose money,” Jeffy tells Pat Gray and Keith Malinak on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“They’re gonna have to make up that money somewhere, and then they’ll probably raise your subscription fees and kick employees to the curb,” Malinak says.

“I mean, look, that’s why you don’t have critical stories on national news, or any news networks,” he continues, “critical of the pharmaceutical industry or the COVID vax or any kind of issue. It’s because those newscasts are funded almost exclusively through pharmaceutical TV dollars.”

VAIDS no longer a myth? Yale study unmasks dangers of the vaccine



Unfortunately, for those who took the COVID vaccine, Americans who were skeptical of the shot are now being vindicated.

A new Yale study reveals that many of those who listened to the vaccine mandate are still suffering side effects as a result. And while Big Pharma is afraid to say it, the vaccines might be giving people something called Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency.

“I was like the OG conspiracy theorist,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments. “I was only reading scientific documentation, but you were not allowed to read any scientific documentation if it was not from Anthony Fauci.”

“I got the whole BlazeTV YouTube channel demonetized for like 30 days because I literally read a study that made them look bad, not the Blaze of course, but the science,” she adds.


According to the new Yale study, when the researchers measured levels of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, they found “that some individuals with PVS, even those without evidence for infection, had higher levels of spike protein than controls.”

“Some participants with PVS had detectable levels more than 700 days after their last vaccination,” the study reported.

PVS stands for “post-vaccination syndrome.”

“Post-vaccination syndrome participants exhibited differences in immune profile including reduced circulating memory and effector CD4 T cells, so the T cells are getting exhausted,” Gonzales explains.

“That’s AIDS, basically,” Gonzales’ husband, Stephen Smith, comments.

“So it turns out that there is VAIDS,” Gonzales says. “But hold on, don’t worry, because Yale did make sure to say at the very top of their study that COVID-19 vaccines have been instrumental in reducing the impact of the pandemic, preventing severe illness and death, and they appear to protect against long COVID.”

“I mean, you might develop long COVID after you get the vaccine, but hey, still, don’t worry,” she adds.

Latest DISTURBING COVID vaccine data reveals just how much work RFK Jr. has to do



Recent reports from a team of immunologists at Yale University indicate that some COVID jab patients experienced “immune system exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production.”

What does that mean?

In the words of journalist Alex Berenson, who’s been reporting on these latest scientific findings, it means “bad news. Very bad.”

— (@)

Steve Deace dives into the latest findings.

According to the study, some patients who received the vaccine developed AIDS — acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

“The word 'acquired' there is key,” says Steve. “What the Yale study finds is that people who did not previously demonstrate these sorts of immune deficiencies began demonstrating them with prolonged exposure.”

Further, “they have no idea how long the spike protein stays in your system,” Steve explains, adding that the “experts” lied about this from the get-go when they told everyone “it stays in your arm.”

Back in 2021 when the mandates began, Steve warned his audience that taking the jab was Russian roulette. Four years later, the science agrees.

Actually, the science has agreed for the last several years, but instead of admitting that the vaccine had adverse side effects, some officials pitched “long COVID” — health problems that persist or develop after someone has COVID-19.

This Yale study, however, is “the first time that a high official study is attributing it uniquely now to the jab,” says Steve.

“RFK Jr. has got to take these shots off the market.”

“I don't know what all pomp and circumstance and I-dotting and T-crossing is required for such a thing to occur, but as soon as such a thing can occur, it needs to happen,” says Steve.
