Victory for health freedom: HHS drops COVID-19 vaccine mandates for children and pregnant women
By willowt // 2025-05-18
 
  • HHS, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is rolling back COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children, teens and pregnant women, acknowledging minimal risk to healthy kids and flawed prior mandates.
  • The CDC and FDA are retreating from aggressive vaccine pushes, admitting lack of evidence for vaccinating low-risk children, aligning with countries like the U.K. that never recommended it.
  • Over 1.6 million reported injuries (per VAERS) highlight severe side effects (e.g., myocarditis, neurological harm), prompting demands for stricter safety standards and transparency.
  • Declining booster uptake (13% of kids, 14% of pregnant women) reflects public rejection of coercion, marking a shift toward medical freedom and informed consent.
  • Despite progress, accountability is needed—fraud investigations, legal action against misinformation and bans on childhood vaccine mandates remain critical next steps.
In a monumental win against medical tyranny, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is finally rolling back its reckless, one-size-fits-all COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for children, teenagers and pregnant women—a long-overdue correction to years of fear-driven propaganda. This bold reversal, first reported by the Wall Street Journal on May 15, signals a turning point in the fight for medical freedom and informed consent, as the truth about unnecessary vaccine risks for low-risk populations can no longer be ignored. Under the leadership of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—a fearless advocate for transparency and accountability in public health—the federal government is finally acknowledging what independent scientists and medical professionals have warned about for years: COVID-19 poses minimal risk to healthy children, and the aggressive push to vaccinate them was never based on sound science, but rather on corporate profit and political coercion.

The collapse of the COVID-19 vaccine narrative

For far too long, federal agencies like the CDC and FDA ignored alarming safety signals, dismissed mounting injury reports and suppressed dissenting voices in their zeal to push experimental mRNA shots on the entire population. Now, the dam is breaking.
  • CDC backpedals: The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which once blindly rubber-stamped COVID-19 vaccines for infants as young as six months, is now quietly retreating from its extremist stance.
  • FDA admits lack of evidence: Even FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary conceded on May 15 that there is no clear benefit in forcing COVID-19 vaccines on young, healthy children—a stunning admission from an agency that once claimed these shots were "safe and effective" without long-term safety data.
  • Global shift: The U.S. is finally aligning with sensible countries like the U.K. and Australia, where routine COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children was never recommended—because the science never justified it.

The truth about vaccine injuries can no longer be hidden

With over 1.6 million reported vaccine injuries and deaths in the U.S. alone (per VAERS data), the catastrophic toll of these rushed, under-tested shots is undeniable. Myocarditis in young males, neurological disorders and reproductive harm are just a few of the devastating side effects that were downplayed or outright ignored by health authorities. Kennedy’s HHS is now demanding higher safety standards, including placebo-controlled trials and real-world evidence before approving future vaccines—a stark contrast to the corrupt "Warp Speed" debacle that prioritized Big Pharma profits over public health.

The end of medical coercion—a win for parents and freedom

This policy shift is a direct result of relentless pressure from medical freedom advocates, parents and courageous doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough, who exposed the fraudulent narrative that children needed COVID-19 vaccines. With only 13% of children and 14% of pregnant women opting for the latest booster, the American people have voted with their feet, rejecting fearmongering in favor of common sense. The era of medical authoritarianism is crumbling. No longer will parents be bullied into injecting their children with unnecessary, risky vaccines. No longer will pregnant women be guilt-tripped into accepting experimental medical products without proper long-term safety data.

What’s next? The fight for accountability

While this is a historic victory, the battle is far from over. Big Pharma and their captured regulators will not give up their power easily. The next steps must include:
  • Full investigations into fraudulent clinical trials and censorship of vaccine injuries.
  • Legal action against those who lied to the public and violated informed consent.
  • Permanent bans on childhood COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools and healthcare settings.
The tide is turning. Health freedom is winning. And this is just the beginning. Stay vigilant. Stay informed. And celebrate this hard-fought triumph over medical tyranny. Sources for this article include: TheEpochTimes.com WSJ.com CDC.gov
