The CDC ignored the 86,799+ comments of concerned citizens to vote for pharma and their own self-interests by adding the COVID jab to the 2023 US Childhood Immunization Schedule.
With the CDC’s blessing, states can take that recommendation and use it as a means to mandate COVID-19 vaccination as a requirement for children to attend public school. Expect states like California, New York, and a handful of others to do just that.
It also means that they’ve given themselves a liability shield, per Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Once it becomes an approved vaccine, that shield – that freedom from immunity disappears, and we will be able to sue them — unless it’s a recommended vaccine for children. Because under the childhood vaccine act, any vaccine that is recommended for children automatically receives immunity from liability even when that vaccine is given to an adult.
So Pfizer knows that it cannot afford to give an approved vaccine to any American because attorneys like me will sue them and bankrupt them overnight. We will make them pay for the entire pandemic. But if they can get it approved for children, then they’ll get immunity from liability, and they will not have to deal with the consequences of their behavior.
So what can we do now?
2.) Give the voting members a phone call. I’m sure they would love to hear what you have to say.

• Dr. Nirav D. Shah 312-952-6092
3.) If your state mandates the COVID jab as a condition to attend public school — home school them. I know it’s tough, but the health of your child is far more important than any short-term inconvenience. And if 5, 10, 20% of parents in a state do just that, how do you think they are going to respond? With strong backlash come changes in policy. Make them instantly regret mandating this shot.
4.) Make sure you get out and vote this November. Do your research and vote for the candidates who value medical freedom. This is, without a doubt, one of the most pressing issues of our time. The website below is a good resource to get you started.
CDC Adds COVID Jab to Childhood Immunization Schedule
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Unlicensed COVID-19 shots will be added to the U.S. childhood, adolescent and adult vaccine schedules after a unanimous (15-0) vote by the U.S. CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
By adding the shots to the vaccine schedule, it paves the way for U.S. schools to mandate them for attendance
Pfizer and Moderna, the shots’ makers, will also be granted permanent legal indemnity, which otherwise would have disappeared once COVID-19 shots were no longer protected under emergency use authorization
Once the CDC recommends a shot for “routine administration to children or pregnant women,” it becomes liability free
Even though COVID-19 shots have been added to the childhood vaccine schedule, they haven’t been mandated for school attendance in most states — yet. In the event that they are — and even before that — it’s time for dissent and a complete overhaul of the CDC
