Dear Fellow Citizen,We only have days to act on this. On May 27, 2025, the CDC quietly removed its recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination in healthy children and healthy pregnant women. While this is a long-overdue step, it applies to only a narrow segment of the population and fails to account for risks that may affect all age groups and health statuses.

The Mina study, while methodologically innovative and biologically informative, cannot be taken as conclusive evidence that all measles infections cause durable, system-wide immune damage, nor that the observed B-cell depletion necessarily translates into increased clinical risk without supporting evidence of infection or morbidity.

American children are not just unwell—they are the sickest generation in the nation's history. Over 40% now live with at least one chronic condition. Obesity has tripled since the 1970s. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens. Autism, once rare, is now diagnosed in one of every 31 children. Type 2 diabetes—virtually nonexistent in youth a few decades ago—is projected to rise over 600% by 2060 if nothing changes. This is not an abstract crisis. It is written into children’s bodies.

This article is not advocacy for GoF. Nor for GoF with oversight. We called for a total ban; that was replaced with “GoF with Oversight”.

One day after the FDA unveiled its updated COVID-19 vaccine approval framework—and the NEJM article by Prasad and Makary detailed the reasoning—Moderna quietly withdrew its application for its mRNA-1083 combination flu/COVID-19 shot. The timing is not coincidental. It reflects exactly what the new policy is designed to do: force evidence-based accountability before granting approvals on specific segments of the population.

If we are going to reverse the mental illness epidemic in America, we need research on mild, long-term aluminum chelation protocols funding by NIH: deferoxamine (aka desferoxamine), intranasal insulin, silicic acid, cilantro, and glutathione enhancers. And we need to stop inject aluminum into ourselves.

When the FDA released its new framework for COVID-19 vaccine policy via a “Sounding Board” article in the New England Journal of Medicine, authored by Dr. Vinay Prasad and Dr. Marty Makary, it marked a sharp pivot away from the all-ages-for-all-times universal booster doctrine that has dominated U.S. policy for the last three years. Predictably, the move was met with confusion and criticism from establishment voices, as reflected in Kristina Fiore’s recent article in MedPage Today.

Vaccination has long been heralded—by some- as one of the greatest achievements in both human and veterinary medicine. It is credited with eliminating or dramatically reducing diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Yet, for all their benefits, vaccines—like all medical interventions—carry risks.
