The vaccine circus rolls on: Why medical groups are still pushing unnecessary shots that cause heart damage

Most people refer to the COVID pandemic in the past tense, saying things like, “During COVID…” However, the American Academy of Pediatrics continues to push COVID-19 vaccines on children, as if there is still a pandemic, and as if another round of boosters will save kids from COVID-19. This is a clown show — a tragic one, where the punchline is your child’s health. So here we are again, with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) doubling down, urging COVID-19 vaccines for infants as young as six months — despite mounting evidence that the benefits for healthy children are negligible at best, and the risks are real and devastating when they occur. Key points:
  • The AAP now recommends COVID-19 vaccines for infants as young as six months, despite minimal risk from the virus in this age group and no evidence the shots prevent transmission.
  • The organization is heavily funded by Pfizer and Moderna, raising serious questions about financial influence over medical advice.
  • The CDC, under new leadership, has scaled back its own recommendations, no longer advising COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children — a move the AAP is now undermining.
  • Flu shots for kids are also under scrutiny, with studies suggesting they may increase hospitalization risks in children with asthma, yet the AAP still pushes them universally.
  • Parents are caught in the crossfire, pressured by pediatricians to follow guidelines that may not align with independent science — or common sense.
  • Other countries, including the UK and Australia, have stopped recommending COVID-19 vaccines for most children, leaving the U.S. increasingly isolated in its approach.

When “science” is for sale, who’s really calling the shots?

The AAP’s latest recommendation — that infants as young as six months should receive a COVID-19 vaccine — lands with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The justification? A study of 2,490 hospitalized children, a sample size so small it’s statistically laughable when applied to the entire U.S. child population. Of those, most infants under two had no underlying conditions. But here’s the kicker: COVID-19 hospitalization rates in children have always been minuscule. The risk of severe outcomes for healthy kids is so low that it borders on irrelevance. So why the aggressive push? The AAP is not some neutral arbiter of child health. It’s an organization that receives direct funding from Pfizer and Moderna, the two pharmaceutical giants that manufacture the COVID-19 vaccines being recommended. This isn’t a conspiracy theory; it’s a documented conflict of interest, one that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has already flagged. Andrew Nixon, an HHS spokesman, didn’t mince words: “By bypassing the CDC’s advisory process and freelancing its own recommendations, while smearing those who demand accountability, the AAP is putting commercial interests ahead of public health and politics above America’s children.” Let that sink in. The group writing the prescriptions is also cashing checks from the companies filling them. Meanwhile, the CDC — long criticized for its own cozy relationship with vaccine manufacturers — has quietly reversed course under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As of May, the agency no longer recommends COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children or pregnant women, a stark contrast to its previous universal mandate. Dr. Marty Makary, a former FDA commissioner, put it bluntly: “There’s no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children.” So why is the AAP still beating the drum? Because if the shots aren’t “recommended,” insurance companies might stop covering them. And if insurance stops covering them, the billions in annual revenue from childhood vaccinations could dry up. And if that happens, then there would an astronomical drop in myocarditis in children, along with a host of other health issues that children suffer from due to this COVID jab program. It's these vaccine induced health issues that are propping up the entire pediatric industry. Without vaccines, the AAP and pediatricians would be shuttered, as parents generally raise healthy kids without all the recommended poisons.

Flu shots, thimerosal, and the art of moving goalposts

If the COVID-19 vaccine push and its wave of myocarditis weren’t enough, the AAP is also doubling down on flu shots for infants, starting at six months. Again, the justification is shaky. While the flu can be serious, hospitalization rates for children are exceptionally low — ranging from 7,000 to 26,000 in the 2019-2020 season, a fraction of a percent of the U.S. child population. Yet the AAP insists on annual shots, despite emerging research suggesting they may increase hospitalization risks in children with asthma. Then there’s the thimerosal problem. This mercury-based preservative, long used in flu vaccines, has been linked to neurological issues, including tics in children. The CDC, under Kennedy’s leadership, recently banned thimerosal-containing flu vaccines for kids. The AAP? Opposed the move, arguing there’s “no health concern” with the mercury levels—despite studies suggesting otherwise. This is the same playbook we’ve seen for decades: Dismiss concerns, ignore alternatives, and insist that the only “safe” path is the one that lines pharmaceutical pockets. It’s not medicine; it’s marketing disguised as public health.

Most parents have woken up to the destruction of the vaccine industry

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Most parents don’t trust these recommendations anymore. And why should they? We’ve watched as countries like the UK and Australia — hardly anti-vaccine strongholds — have dropped COVID-19 vaccine mandates for kids, citing lack of benefit. We’ve seen FDA and CDC advisers admit that the risks for healthy children outweigh the rewards. We’ve heard whistleblowers and independent scientists warn about long-term effects, from myocarditis to immune dysfunction, only to be silenced or ridiculed. And yet, the AAP marches on, gaslighting parents into believing that injecting their infants with experimental genetic therapies is “just what you do.” This isn’t about “anti-vax” hysteria. It’s about asking basic questions:
  • If the virus is mild for kids, why vaccinate them?
  • If natural immunity is robust, why ignore it?
  • If other countries have stopped, why hasn’t the U.S.?
  • If the CDC has backed off, why is the AAP still pushing?
  • If there’s no long-term safety data, how can anyone claim these shots are “safe and effective”?
The answers aren’t pretty. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about health. It’s about control, profit, and a medical-industrial complex that has lost its way. What’s a parent to do? If there’s one takeaway from this mess, it’s this: You have a choice. The AAP’s recommendations are not laws. They’re opinions — bought and paid for by an industry that profits from compliance. And that industry needs to market a forever pandemic, no matter how many people have moved on from the coercive messaging. Sources include: Zerohedge.com DocumentCloud.org Pubmed.gov Cidrap.edu
