For years, we’ve been fed a narrative that these COVID jabs were the holy grail of public health—"safe," "effective," and essential for everyone, even our kids and expectant mothers.
Big Pharma and their pals in the government have pushed a one-size-fits-all vaccine narrative, ignoring the collateral damage.
But now, a new sheriff’s in town, and he’s not afraid to call it like it is.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that the COVID-19 vaccine has been stripped from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women.
The decision, bypassing traditional regulatory processes, marks a seismic shift in federal health policy under the Trump administration.
Kennedy, joined by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Martin Makary, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, delivered the news in a video posted on X on Tuesday morning.
Kennedy, a longtime critic of unchecked vaccine policies, emphasized the lack of evidence supporting the vaccine’s necessity for healthy children.
"I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,” Kennedy declared.
He then slammed the Biden administration’s push for repeated boosters in children,
"Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children."
Kennedy’s remarks underscored a mounting body of evidence questioning the vaccine’s efficacy and safety for younger populations.
Dr. Bhattacharya echoed Kennedy’s sentiment, adding, "That ends today. It’s common sense, and it’s good science."

The decision comes amid a growing body of peer-reviewed research and real-world data exposing serious adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly in children.
A 2022 study published in The Lancet found an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in young males following mRNA vaccination, with rates significantly higher than in unvaccinated peers.
Another study in JAMA Cardiology confirmed that myocarditis cases were disproportionately reported in adolescents and young adults post-vaccination, with symptoms ranging from chest pain to life-threatening cardiac complications.
Children’s Health Defense, a nonprofit activist group founded by Kennedy, has long challenged the inclusion of the mRNA shots on the CDC schedule.
The announcement builds on years of legal challenges by groups like CHD. In 2022, CHD filed a lawsuit against the FDA, alleging the agency misused its emergency use authorization powers to approve COVID vaccines for children and infants.
The case, which reached the U.S. Supreme Court but was declined for review in 2023, argued that the vaccines posed unnecessary risks to low-risk populations.
Mary Holland, CEO of CHD, celebrated the decision as a major victory.
"This Action is fantastic! It’s based on good science that there is no rationale for children to be getting these investigational injections," Holland tweeted following the announcement. "There is a little question that it will prevent significant injuries and deaths."

Pregnant women have also faced detrimental risks from the shots.
Doctors reported an unprecedented and precipitous uptick in stillbirths during the COVID mandates.

In 2022, at the height of the COVID mandates, the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, the federal government’s method of monitoring vaccine injuries through real-time reporting, showed a whopping 4,070% increase in miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women who received the experimental jabs.
Even during the pandemic’s peak, data showed children were at minimal risk from COVID-19.
This policy shift marks a significant departure from the CDC’s previous stance, which recommended COVID vaccines for everyone over 6 months old, including pregnant women and infants, as recently as 2024.
