CDC To Vote On Adding COVID-19 Vaccine To Annual Childhood Immunization Schedule

According to regulations.gov, which touts themselves as “your voice in federal decision making,” and the CDC’s own website, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has a meeting scheduled for October 19th, 2022, which will be broadcast live. On the docket is a vote for whether the COVID-19 vaccine will be added to the annual schedule of childhood vaccines.

“Recommendation votes on pneumococcal, adult immunization schedule, child/adolescent immunization schedule and COVID-19 vaccines are scheduled. A Vaccines for Children (VFC) vote on COVID-19 vaccine is scheduled.”

Will it matter that the vaccines (therapeutics) have been minimally tested or that there are valid medical concerns that they may not be entirely safe for healthy young people, especially males? Will it matter that the vaccines (therapeutics) don’t stop transmission or contraction of the disease that poses almost no risk to children? Will it matter that parents across America have made it clear that they have no desire to give their kids a COVID-19 vaccine (therapeutic), because it’s been available to them for quite some time now and almost no one has taken advantage of it? Or will they once again impose their will on the nation?

Here’s something they’d rather you didn’t hear, if you’re interested. It’s a discussion with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Amesh Adalja discussing both sides of the vaccine safety debate.

An extremely important part of this discussion is liability protection for the vaccine companies. The public cannot sue the vaccine companies under the emergency use authorization. But once the vaccines are officially approved, then people could sue for vaccine injury, especially in healthy children, UNLESS that vaccine is officially recommended by the CDC as part of the annual childhood vaccine schedule. Then they are afforded liability protection. Once again, is it about public health, or is it about money?

If you’d like to leave the CDC a comment regarding this vote, you can do so here. Written comments must be received on or before October 20th. For more information regarding this upcoming meeting, visit ACIP’s meeting information page on the CDC’s website here.
