It’s incredible after decades of these crazy vaccination schedules with the policy that there are never enough vaccines that can be injected into babies and kids, they’re finally going to conduct the relevant tests they should have done to any vaccine administered before injecting any person never mind babies and kids, unbelievable! My wife received a notice at her work. Note that all nurses and staff have had the flu vaccine and most all have had their 4th covid injection.

Due to high level of influenza-like illness currently being witnessed in the New England region, as of Monday January 5/5/26, all hospital staff are required to wear a mask during direct interactions with patients in clinical locations. This includes inpatient rooms, patient bays, ambulatory exam rooms, bringing meals into patients rooms.

It’s hard to understand how the majority of the medical staff can’t understand that the vaccine policy needs to be changed and fixed. They live in this world where they watch each other get sick year after year and still think it’s good policy. I’ve watched this for decades and I just don’t get it! They are the most vaccinated and the sickest people I know.

Wearing those ineffective masks pretty well establishes their realistic evaluation of the flu jabs I bet anything they were required to take

Yes, and they also pay some of the highest group health insurance rates.

I'm intrigued by this term "shared clinical decision-making (decided individually between parents/guardians and healthcare providers".

Should this not always be the case for any medical intervention?

The elephant in the room is that for years "shared clinical decision-making" for vaccination has been effectively non-existent, as vaccination appears to have been, and still is, a rote intervention, with no pretence of ethically valid voluntary informed consent under coercion and mandates.

I've written about this to the incoming President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, see my open letter: Re: The vital medical ethical principle that was abandoned - and must now be restored: https://vaccinationispolitical.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/letter-to-the-us-aap-re-ethically-valid-consent.pdf

My open letter to the AAP president and US pediatricians is a formal ethical challenge, placed on the public record.

It forces a binary question:

- Either consent obtained under penalty is not ethically valid - in which case pediatricians should not have proceeded, and professional bodies should have said so;

- Or the profession now believes medicine can proceed without voluntary informed consent - in which case, that position must be stated openly.

Ethical medicine rests on the practitioner's refusal to proceed when consent is invalid.

This is my challenge to the AAP and pediatricians. It is now on the record.

This is especially egregious since the U.S. was part and parcel of the Nuremberg Trials and signed on to the Nuremberg Accords, which stated unequivocally that informed consent is an absolute right for all humanity. No "mandated" medical procedure can ever pretend to support informed consent.

Good letter.

There's added nocebo effect for drugs which are forcibly administered.

When a practitioner adopts this standard of practice in one area, the nocebo effect will bleed out to other parts of his or her practice to the overall detriment of patients.

No wonder there's a shortage of primary care. This will continue for a good long time.

My view is that it should include reviews of all vaccines and their research data that was submitted to the FDA for approval for marketing. They should be vetted for legitimacy and fraudulent or uncomplete submissions should immediately cancel the vaccine approval. It was done for the WHI estrogen issue which was based on fraudulent data and it should be the immediate focus of NIH for all vaccines

Senator Roger Marshall (my Senator) posted on FB a a statement praising this action saying this supports parents being able to make informed decisions. I have a niece who is also a pediatrician who commented on his post saying he was a disgrace to the medical profession. Best guess is that my niece prefers the narrative to informed consent. She has 4 children & no one is or would stop her from vaxxing all over the place &/or recommending her patients do the same unlike the reverse situation where parents had no say, had no input, had no choice. But Roger Marshall is the disgrace to the medical profession?

It seems to me that until the pharmaceutical companies stop influencing medical education, as well as continuing medical education, not much will change in terms of recommendations by pediatricians & internists, no matter what official changes are made to the childhood vaccination schedule. They also left in place the MMR vaccine - the one most closely associated with autism. Russell Blaylock, MD, a retired neurosurgeon, with a deep knowledge of biochemistry, does not recommend any vaccines. Likewise, Dr. Kevin Stillwagon, a chiropractor with a very broad & deep knowledge of the immune system, who actually taught college-level courses on the immune system. There are still too many underlying nefarious influences taking place, which need to be addressed, in order for there to be any meaningful change. Many do not even realize that one of the shingles vaccines carries a black box warning for the development of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. After what happened during covid & the poorly & insufficiently tested "vaccines", I would not trust the CDC with their stamp of approval on anything.

Yes, I would hope that there would be a continued effort to look into the safety, efficacy and long-term implications of EVERY vaccine, and that recommendations would continue to be updated.

Thank you for this excellent report and analyses of how HHS will be addressing the Childhood Vaccine matters going forward. IMO a major step in the right direction.

The CDC manning the helm of research makes sense. Given its history and recent/current staffing, the concerns described seem well justified. Might it justify an expansion of independant oversight to extend to a study designs and oversight?

I have concerns of the impact of elections on execution of planning. I hope planning and execution is able to set sufficient framework, basics and guardrails in place to withstand any untoward happenings.

In the short term, we are experiencing more of the states grouping together (the West Coast group you've been relating to and a larger east coast blue state lot) apparently to mandate (?) vaccine performance and question HHS guidance. In particular if they mandate and there is no mutually developed informed consent, will payments be jeopardized? Will state MAHA support be compromised?

As always your well reasoned and calm discussion is very helpful and much appreciated. Wishing much success with your current tour. The people in Hawaii are entitled to it.

Safe travels!

lots of us were fine w/the 50s 60s childhood handful of NECESSARY vaccines. thank goodness they've decreased to 11 from 70! . flu vax is propaganda these mrna vax aren't true vaccines. ( idk, scary world. residents who cant write.who knows how competent these people even ARE!!) 🤔🙁

Joy Metcalf's avatar

Were they really necessary? Perhaps not, but one thing is sure. Parental consent was required.

Leosmom's avatar

Thanks for all the information. Such wonderful news!

ddc's avatar

When discussing vaccines with other people, I continue to ask the following basic questions. Do you trust the government? Do you trust Big Pharma? Do you trust legacy media? Do you actually know what's in that liquid being pumped into you? You know, the "chain of custody" thing. For me, the answer to all those questions is no. Therefore, my conclusion is "just say no". Trust is gone, probably never to be regained. And I know I'm not alone.

We are in California, it is crazy out here, that the medical profession thinks its great idea to give newborns a hepatitis shot, etc.. If we who are over 30, and our grandparents made it through life into the end of their nineties without all these poisons, then one can say, all these poisons do not make a difference.

Dr. Malone, will the forced vaccine for school age children and the idiocy of physicians, offering to the parent of newborns end for California?

I read an interesting article about the chickenpox vaccine, how it was approved, not because chickenpox is serious, but because so many women are in the workplace that it's an inconvenience for women to stay home with their children. The article called chickenpox vaccine "the first economically indicated vaccination."

James Schwartz's avatar

Does this change what schools require though? If not this means nothing because schools will just add what has been changed forcing parents to jab their kids to go to pre-school or even some day cares.

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

if the school policy is tied to CDC recommendations, things will change. If not, probably not

Measles? isn't the attenuated or live measles virus in the current vaccine causing the newest outbreak of measles?

EdB's avatar

My assumption is that a few of the millions of unvaccinated illegals have transported the measles virus.

Thomas Wedge's avatar

A virus can travel many ways. We agree.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

In which case, perhaps we'll have a return to actual herd immunity. An interesting fact is that when the idea of herd immunity was first posited, the figure was something like 40-60% of the population. With the push to vaccines, the number suddenly became much higher, until it's now up to 95% required.

neli d's avatar

ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!

Julzg's avatar

Also, they pour billions of dollars for every child to get vaccinated, instead of finding the cure for healing all childhood diseases. So can we as a nation, conclude that their is something nefarious about all these lies and bullshit about vaccines?

neli d's avatar

ABSOLUTELY AGREE!

Joy Metcalf's avatar

Why do we want to find a cure for all childhood diseases? They strengthen the immune system. For example, data show that those populations with natural measles outbreaks and subsequent immunity have lower levels of cancer and heart disease. Why do we feel like we can improve on God's or evolution's (probably the same thing) design? How did the human race ever survive over the millennia!

Measles, Mumps, Rubella - MMR, Polio, Pertussis/WCough, Tetanus, Diphtheria, HIP, Pneu, HPV, Chickenpox. Thanks for this update. But Ouchy Ouch Ouch.

Looks and sounds like positive rule changes are being implemented. However, I do have a question. Some time ago,I believe you wrote that the manufacture of vaccines had to be a continuous process, that producing, shutting down and then starting back up was not a viable option, that production had to be continuous. If this is the case won't optional use of vaccines augment an overproduction of certain vaccines reducing market demand and thus requiring pharmaceutical to have to shut down lines and with limited supply drive up the costs of the vaccines?

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

There are likely to be supply chain disruptions for some companies, particularly for influenza virus vax manufacturers
