With CDC's ACIP halted by judge new vaccines can't be approved anymore

Featured Replies

This is interesting!

Last month Judge Brian Murphy decided that the members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee (ACIP) weren’t qualified, and he ordered them to stop meeting altogether.

His intent was to stop the CDC from removing vaccines from the Child innoculation scheme following ACIP's advice.

So the ongoing overhaul of the Child innoculation scheme was stopped, but the judge's 'victory for Big Pharma' has an unexpected consequence.

And Flu/Covid season is coming. Very soon now, all annual vaccine updates will need CDC approval and guidance for doctors and insurers. For instance, every year, both covid and flu vaccines have ‘updated’ annual formulations that must be green-lighted by the CDC, which in turn relies on recommendations from the ACIP.

Without the committee’s recommendations, the CDC can’t approve the updated jabs. Nor, without a functioning ACIP, can it approve any other new vaccines. Checkmate and chaos...

It’s really very funny how things work out sometimes. Just when you think all is lost, and you’re staring at Life’s Pink Slip, Providence turns around and hands you a bonus instead. So it was with this week’s Reuters story, headlined, “COVID shots, newer vaccines in limbo after US court halts Kennedy’s advisory panel.” Reuters didn’t mean the good kind of limbo, where you take coconut rum shots and try to dance under a pole.

Regular readers will recall last month’s bad news for MAHA, after Judge Brian Murphy decided that the members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee (ACIP) weren’t qualified, and he ordered them to stop meeting altogether. Next, the CDC published a proposed rule change to its ACIP standards to explicitly require the committee to include members across a broad range of fields —including vaccine injuries— and not just vaccine manufacturing. But that will take months of public comment before they can put the committee back together.

Blackpillers lost all hope. They focused on this one “loss,” a tiny blip among an ocean of wins. But I encouraged everybody to hang on, and wait to see what happens. Let them work. Voilá— behold the first surprising and encouraging turnaround.

Judge Murphy —to clever by half— accidentally created a Big Problem for Big Pharma. “The ruling leaves the CDC without a functioning advisory body to recommend new vaccines or updated uses of existing ones,” Reuters explained. It quoted —who else?— the CDC’s former Satanist Demetre Daskalakis, who complained, “It’s just uncharted territory.”

Ten minutes before that, Daskalakis was still high-fiving his corporate sponsors over Judge Murphy’s order pulling the ACIP’s plug. Whoops. (Don’t worry about Demetre. As of February, he is gainfully employed as ‘Chief Medical Officer’ at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, an LGBTQ-focused health center in New York City, and is quoted by trad-media in every single story about MAHA, Kennedy, the CDC or HHS.)

Here comes the twist, the “uncharted territory.”

Flu/Covid season is rushing toward us like an out-of-control cash train. Very soon now, all annual vaccine updates will need CDC approval and guidance for doctors and insurers. For instance, every year, both covid and flu vaccines have ‘updated’ annual formulations that must be green-lighted by the CDC, which in turn relies on recommendations from the ACIP.

Without the committee’s recommendations, the CDC can’t approve the updated jabs. Nor, without a functioning ACIP, can it approve any other new vaccines. Checkmate.

This is the most bureaucratic kind of chaos, which makes it even more entertaining than it sounds. Judge Murphy’s vaccine-panel war has left the CDC without a functioning advisory body. Unless something changes quickly, the fall vaccination season could arrive without approvals for annual flu and covid boosters, leaving those jabs and any new vaccines in limbo, with insurance coverage questions sliding around like loose scalpels in the back of a speeding ambulance.

This is exactly what happens when judges try to micromanage health agencies. Your move, Judge Murphy. What will you do now? Start reviewing vaccines in court?
