🚨 ICAN WEIGHS IN ON THE CDC VACCINE SCHEDULE HHS asked the public whether the categories used in federal vaccine recommendations should change. ICAN submitted its answer. Our position: Every vaccine decision should be made through shared clinical decision-making, taking into account the individual patient, the available evidence, and the risks and benefits. ICAN also called for stronger clinical-trial standards, annual reviews of vaccine safety and efficacy data, and a complete overhaul of federal vaccine-safety surveillance systems. 35,000+ comments were submitted. Now the question is: What will HHS do with them? Read what ICAN told Secretary Kennedy 👇 bit.ly/CDC_schedule

🚨 70,000 unprocessed reports. That's the number CDC's own contractor was sitting on by February 2021, according to emails ICAN obtained through FOIA, less than two months into the vaccine rollout. Officials spent that same stretch telling the public VAERS was actively catching safety signals like myocarditis in real time. It couldn't have been. You can't monitor data you haven't processed.

“The evidence is overwhelming.” At the Allison Inquiry, @SenRonJohnson honored Canadians who came forward to share the devastating health challenges they say followed COVID-19 vaccination. Their voices deserve acknowledgment, answers, and accountability. @AllisonInquiry @DeanAllisonMP @Shawnbuckleylaw
“The deaths and disabilities caused by the experimental gene therapy pushed on billions of people globally are still being denied. But as you will hear over the next few days, they are real and devastating.” U.S. Senator Ron Johnson delivered powerful testimony at Canada’s Allison Inquiry, honoring those who have come forward to share the harms they say followed COVID-19 vaccination. For years, Sen. Johnson has pressed federal health agencies for answers and advocated for people he says have been ignored by the system.

The stories shared at Canada’s Allison Inquiry are heartbreaking and deserve to be heard. Canadians who say they were injured after COVID-19 vaccination are finally bringing their experiences to Parliament Hill. Read the full report from @smiddendorp22 below. @AllisonInquiry @ShawnBuckleyLaw @DeanAllisonMP
🙏A 46-year-old dentist with no pre-existing conditions developed an elevated heart rate and chest tightness within an hour of her first COVID vaccine dose. After her second, she lost vision, developed nerve damage and brain lesions, and now lives with constant electric-shock pain. She sold her practice and paid $148,000 for brain surgery in the US after Canadian specialists wouldn't take her case. "You cannot treat what you refuse to acknowledge," she said. A mother of three who ran a seed farm developed what she calls "fire in my brain," burning pain that hasn't stopped in five years. Her face dropped. Hospitals sent her home with a Bell's palsy diagnosis. She spent 17 days in the hospital with a feeding tube and now has permanent facial dysfunction and memory loss that tested as early-onset Alzheimer's. Canada's vaccine injury program accepted her claim, then denied the medications and therapies she needs. A store manager and father of seven collapsed after his shot. He developed seizures, 13 brain lesions, and violent tremors lasting hours. Emergency rooms tested him for drugs first. His compensation file has been lost twice. He's still waiting after four years. The inquiry is ongoing, and runs through Friday. Full story by @smiddendorp22 linked below 👇 bit.ly/TheAllisonInquiry

Great to join The HighWire for an important conversation. We should never be afraid to take a deeper look at the evidence behind medical decisions especially when it comes to the health of children.
Dr. Joseph Ladapo says the hepatitis B vaccine's two approved versions were cleared by the FDA on less than a week of safety data. "That is literally a fact," he says. Del recalls @FLSurgeonGen telling him years ago he hadn't yet looked deeply into childhood vaccines, focused instead on the COVID vaccine while working under Ron DeSantis. Ladapo says his understanding has shifted since, crediting @AaronSiriSG's book "Vaccines: Amen" for laying out the data behind how widely used vaccines moved from development to approval. He calls the amount of safety evidence at the time of approval "horrific," describing it as "a very rotten scientific landscape."

🚨Vaccinated people can carry and spread measles without symptoms. Vaccine-derived measles virus RNA has been found in children's respiratory tracts up to 800 days after vaccination. And modeling shows waning immunity combined with high vaccination rates can produce larger outbreaks down the road than expected. Under oath, vaccine pioneer Dr. Stanley Plotkin confirmed to @ICANdecide attorney @AaronSiriSG that each dose of MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms of cell-substrate DNA, purposefully fragmented to about 215 base pairs, from a cell line isolated from the lung tissue of a 3-month-old female embryo.

ICAN is calling out Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Department of War over broad exceptions carved into its "voluntary" flu vaccine policy, and over continued delays reinstating soldiers separated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. In April, Hegseth announced the flu vaccine would be voluntary for all active-duty troops, reservists, and civilian personnel. ICAN's attorneys wrote to Hegseth urging clear guidance protecting service members who opt out from retaliation, and DOW responded promising all soldiers would be treated with dignity and respect regardless of choice. Weeks later, DOW carved out exceptions making the flu vaccine mandatory again for new recruits in basic training and deployed forces, among others. A policy excluding broad categories of service members isn't voluntary. It has been 18 months since President Trump ordered the reinstatement of soldiers separated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. ICAN sent a second letter in August demanding DOW explain the delay and complete these reinstatements, including back pay and benefits owed. Full statement and letters linked below 👇

RFK Jr. is correct. The fact is that there are billions of fragments of human cellular debris and DNA from the cultured cell line of an aborted fetus in every injected dose of MMR, chicken pox, and Hep A vaccines. Because viruses multiply in cells, living cells are used to grow viruses for vaccine production, including the cultured cell lines of aborted fetuses. Two such cell lines are MRC-5 and WI-38, which are described by a company that sells them as follows: “The MRC-5 cell line was derived from normal lung tissue of a 14-week-old male embryo” and the “WI-38 cell line is the first human diploid cell line to be used in human vaccine preparation … [and] were isolated from the lung tissue of a 3-month-old, female, embryo.” atcc.org/products/ccl-75(per…; atcc.org/products/ccl-171(pe…. The ingredients of chickenpox, rubella, and hepatitis A vaccines each include cellular and DNA pieces from these fetal cell lines. The ingredient list for Varivax (chickenpox) includes “MRC-5 human diploid cells including DNA & protein,” for MMR-II (which includes rubella) includes “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts,” and for Havrix (hepatitis A) includes “MRC-5 cellular proteins.” web.archive.org/web/20241120…‌/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/b/excipient-table-2.pdf(perma.cc/J6KT-FASR). As for the quantity of human DNA in each vial, for Varivax, as the FDA explains: “human MRC-5 cells are the substrate upon which the Oka strain of varicella is grown. In the process of isolating virus from these cells, MRC-5 derived proteins and DNA are also obtained. The nearly 2 ug [2,000 nanograms] of unmodified mammalian DNA present in each dose of VARIVAX…” wayback.archive-it.org/7993/…. As for MMR-II, as RFK Jr. pointed out below, during Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, I asked: “Isn't it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that's probably correct, yes.” icandecide.org/plotkintransc… p. 328 (perma.cc/7WCZ-G2TC). See also soundchoice.org/wp-content/u…; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2610… (See Table 3, reflecting an average of 142 nanograms of single-stranded DNA and 35 nanograms of double-stranded DNA in the rubella vaccine component of each dose of MMR-II; and an average of 276 nanograms of single-stranded DNA and 35.74 nanograms of double-stranded DNA in each dose of Havrix). For DNA remaining in the final formulation, assuming pharma companies follow FDA’s guidance, they would fragment “the DNA size to below approximately 200 base pairs.” fda.gov/media/113760/downloa… pp.29-30. Doing the math, supposing only 100 nanograms of double-stranded DNA remain, and are broken down into 200 base pair fragments, this equals approximately 463 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vaccine dose; double that number for single-stranded DNA. technologynetworks.com/tn/to….

Replying to @RobertKennedyJr
At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is no fetal tissue in the MMR,” he told me. This is a segment from a videotaped deposition of Stanley Plotkin, the inventor of the MMR vaccine. Plotkin admits to butchering 76 aborted normally developing fetuses, all over three months old, in just one of the many studies that led to the development of his vaccine. The rubella virus used in MMR-II is grown on the cultured cell line composed of lung tissue from an aborted three-month-old female embryo and listed as “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts” in the ingredients of MMR-II as portions of these cells end up in each vial of MMR II. During Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, Attorney Aaron Siri asked: “Isn’t it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.” This equals approximately 646 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of MMR-II. In addition to the human DNA, there is also an unspecified amount of human cellular debris in each dose of MMR-II. During our phone conversation, Governor Shapiro also accused me of promoting vaccine misinformation. When I asked him for an example, he was unable to provide one, but this did not deter him from publicly repeating that accusation during his press event. As I told him, HHS does not tolerate misinformation by any employee. I offered to point to hundreds of instances of vaccine misinformation by the Biden administration about which I had never heard him complain. Governor Shapiro also faulted me for the decline in Pennsylvania vaccination rates from 97% - 93.2%. When I pushed back on this assertion, he acknowledged that most of the decline occurred during the Biden administration. It’s unfortunately true that the government lockdowns, deceptions, manipulation, and overreach during Covid severely damaged public faith in the vaccine program. Governor Shapiro’s press conference was an example of the same species of gaslighting. The Trump administration is working to restore public trust not by gaslighting or manipulating, but by being truthful, at last, with the public.

🚨 Today is the deadline to leave a public comment supporting the IACC Autism Research Plan. If you support research into causation, developmental regression, profound autism, medical complexity, treatments, communication, and lifelong support, make your voice heard. And if you believe your child experienced vaccine injury or regression following vaccination, tell IACC your story and ask them to investigate it. Deadline: TODAY at 5 PM ET 📩 IACCPublicInquiries@mail.nih.gov Don’t let opposition be the only voice they hear.
📢@ICANDecide SUPPORTS IACC AUTISM RESEARCH PLAN—BUT EXPLICITLY URGES IT TO STUDY VACCINES ICAN submitted formal comment on the federal government's new autism research strategic plan, urging the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee to study vaccines. The 336-page draft plan does not contain the word "vaccine" once. ICAN's comment points out that no study has proven the vaccines given in the first year of life, DTaP, Hep B, Hib, PCV13, and IPV, do not cause autism. After ICAN sued, the CDC conceded in a federal court order that it had no such studies. @ICANdecide supports the plan's recognition that autism arises from a combination of biological and environmental factors, and its new focus on neurodevelopmental regression as a research priority. ICAN says the committee must be brave enough to pursue every scientifically plausible avenue of autism causation, including vaccines. The public comment period closes August 20. We encourage you to make comment. Link to do so is below. bit.ly/StudyVaccines

🚨 ICAN URGES FEDERAL AUTISM COMMITTEE TO PRIORITIZE DEFINING VACCINE-INDUCED BRAIN INJURY Federal authorities already recognize encephalopathy and encephalitis as potential vaccine injuries. Yet there is still no accepted clinical guidance for distinguishing vaccine-induced encephalopathy from autism spectrum disorder. Ahead of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee’s August meeting, ICAN submitted a formal comment urging the committee to make this a research priority. ICAN is calling for objective diagnostic markers and a working group to establish clear clinical guidance, standards that could affect how injured children are diagnosed and treated, whether families can pursue compensation, and how research into the causes of autism is conducted.
