Thanks for speaking up on the attack on our civil liberties!
The financial fleecing and conflict of interest is but one layer of this insidious scheme.
It is a military-led operation (see Debbie Lerma) that has installed and tested infrastructure that enables a technocratic global security state (see David Hughes).
Thanks again, for using your platform in courageous truth-telling.
You can see where they are going with this then: Washington Post Reports on ‘Plan to Vaccinate All Americans, Despite RFK Jr.’
Vaccine makers, pharmacists, professional medical societies and others opposed to recent changes in vaccine policy are banding together to create their own system for recommending and purchasing vaccines in a move designed to bypass government health agencies’ recommendations, The Washington Post reported.

Vaccine makers, pharmacists, professional medical societies and others opposed to recent changes in vaccine policy are banding together to create their own system for recommending and purchasing vaccines in a move designed to bypass government health agencies’ recommendations, The Washington Post reported.
Members of the new group, all of whom profit from the vaccine industry, along with some state health officials and a “new advocacy group,” are strategizing ways to preserve the vaccine status quo under U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The anonymous group, which hopes to create “a nongovernmental vaccine system” for vaccine recommendations and purchasing, according to the Post, is engaged in a series of discussions.
Topics include ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and prioritizing recommendations from medical associations rather than from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which makes vaccine recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The move comes as Kennedy dismissed all of ACIP’s sitting committee members earlier this month due to concerns over conflicts of interest in the committee. He filled eight of the 17 committee seats a few days later.
Commenting on industry insiders’ efforts to create a new commission, research scientist James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., told The Defender:
“They want to create and lend authority to a corporation-backed, corporation-friendly committee to replace the one that was just disbanded. These moves would represent replacing the facade of regulating vaccines by a government agency with overt industry self-governance and regulation.”
The Post called the move by the unspecified group of actors “extraordinary,” but conceded that it “faces major challenges.”
For example, insurance companies typically don’t cover shots that aren’t recommended by ACIP. An ACIP recommendation is also the basis on which the federal Vaccines for Children Program pays for vaccines for minors whose families can’t afford them. That program covers vaccine costs for about half of U.S. children.
Also, in many states, pharmacists’ ability to prescribe or administer vaccines is tied to the adult and child immunization schedules recommended by ACIP. And state laws for school vaccine requirements, as well as requirements for healthcare workers, are typically tied to ACIP recommendations.
Another problem, according to the Post, is that “potential competing recommendations could sow confusion among doctors as well as patients if it becomes unclear which recommendations to follow.”
Lyons-Weiler said physicians should be wary of any recommendations coming from the nongovernmental group, especially because participating in federal programs while failing to comply with ACIP regulations could violate statutes.
“The dismissed ACIP committee members can form whatever opinion group they want, but physicians follow their recommendations over the rules and regulations of the HHS at their own peril,” he said.
In a recent article, Lyons-Weiler said calls to ignore recommendations from the new ACIP committee are largely circulated by the former ACIP members who were dismissed because of their ties to Big Pharma.
Former Merck consultant and dismissed ACIP member Dr. Helen Chu was quoted in a recent op-ed in MedPage Today as calling on physicians to “turn away” from ACIP’s vaccine recommendations. She received thousands of dollars from Merck in the year before her ACIP appointment.
Merck is the manufacturer of multiple major childhood vaccines, including the Gardasil HPV vaccine; the MMRII for measles, mumps and rubella; a chicken pox vaccine and several others.
“Undermining ACIP in favor of non-statutory organizations may represent a breach of federal compliance by physicians and healthcare institutions receiving federal funds,” Lyons-Weiler wrote. Chu should be well aware of that fact, he added.
Initiative pushes Pharma-linked medical associations to make recommendations
According to the Post, the group’s discussions are being facilitated by the “Vaccine Integrity Project,” a new initiative at the University of Minnesota, which includes “vaccine manufacturers, health insurers and medical associations.” The group is funded by iAlumbra, a nonprofit founded by Walmart heiress and billionaire philanthropist Christy Walton, known for her anti-Trump advocacy.
Former U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Margaret Hamburg and Dr. Harvey Fineberg, former president of the Institute of Medicine and current president of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, co-chair an eight-member steering committee leading the initiative.
In an op-ed published in STAT News, Hamburg and Fineberg said the project will use “the best available evidence” to “safeguard vaccine policy, information and utilization.”
When the group was launched, Michael Osterholm, Ph.D., a member of the COVID-19 Advisory Board under the Biden administration, said it was not intended to serve as a shadow or parallel version of the ACIP.
However, according to today’s report from the Post, that intention appears to have changed.
Dr. Anne Zink, member of the Vaccine Integrity Project, told the Post that having each state set its own recommendations is “not ideal” and that instead, the major medical associations should make recommendations.
Medical associations participating in the Vaccine Integrity Project talks include the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians, the American Pharmacists Association, and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, the Post reported.
In her op-ed, Chu also named the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) as a key group advising alternative vaccination policy.
Lyons-Weiler noted that AAP has received millions of dollars in grants from Merck, Sanofi and Pfizer, and that ACOG has endorsed products from its sponsors without conducting any independent review.
ACOG also took $11 million from the CDC to push the COVID-19 vaccines on pregnant women.
HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the agency and CDC “remain committed to ensuring that vaccine guidance is rigorous, independent, and truly in service to the health of the American people — not corporate interests.”
The Post reported that Nixon also called one of the new coalition’s leading organizations “a self-appointed echo chamber masquerading as oversight.”
Under Kennedy, the CDC has changed its guidance on COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women from recommended to “no guidance.”
One member of the Vaccine Integrity Project, Asa Hutchinson, former Republican governor of Arkansas, noted that beyond changes to COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, no other changes have been made to vaccine policy since Kennedy took office.
In the upcoming meeting this week, ACIP is set to vote on RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) immunization recommendations for pregnant mothers, babies and young children.
The committee will also vote on the mercury-containing flu vaccine, and will discuss but not vote on other vaccines, including COVID-19, chikungunya, anthrax and MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, varicella).

Me: Why kill the Goose which lays the Golden Vaccines Egg?
In other words, Big Pharma is going to use all of its Chemist Shops and other Commercial interests, to continue pushing their vaccines into everyone, because they can (just the same as they sell colored chalk tablets as miracle cures) and I fear it is every person for themselves, just as it always has been and nothing much will, vaccines wise, otherwise change, with Bill Gates wanting to vaccinate all of your kids under his Gavi, too.
Start with examining the leader of the Who, Tedros, whose background as a terrorist, should never have put him into the position as the Director of the WHO. Then, question the integrity of those who would elect a man like Tedros. Then look at the WHO organization which solicits donors with massive ties to pharmaceutical interests... and the promotion of money making drugs and vaccines. It's promotion of poorly tested dangerous vaccines is responsible for the major death toll during the Plandemic. It is known that nothing the WHO is doing is connected to the creation of true World health
Thank you Ian, for once again being brave enough to show us the truth. On a brighter note..how lovely today to see Donald using the F word in circumstances that were fully warranted. Maybe one day out politically correct, too afraid to speak, fairy footed politicians will also speak a language that most Australians understand.😁
"CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, is a global partnership working to accelerate the development of vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against epidemic and pandemic threats."
No mention of the above Billy Gates sponsored group?
On researching now I note that this group appears to be domiciled in Norway, and I note that Jane Halton (who was Morrisons inner 6 c'tee chairperson appears to no longer be the Chair of CEPI?
WHO is answerable to UN.
Australia has highly trained and experienced people who can and should handle medical organising etc for the Nation when required. And who can be held responsible to their fellow Australians. Professionals who reside in Australia and know it well.
Agree. But most Australian physicians are badly trained in the prevention of infectious disease. All they know is antibiotics, antivirals and vaccines. Very keen on lockdowns also.
I’m pleased to see people speaking up about this topic. The fact that governments feel entitled to over ride our health choices is appalling. Thank you professor for keeping it before us.
Is our government so incompetent that it requires a bunch of undemocratic, unelected and unaccountable psychopaths led by a human rights abuser (Tedros) to control global health and override our freedom and bodily autonomy? The WHO is a dangerous waste of space.
Where do we start? Maybe by only electing politicians who understand that health doesn't come in a syringe or a drug? Maybe by somehow making the general public aware that who they vote can impact their health if 'vaccines' are once again 'mandated'?
Amid historic foreign aid cuts, Bill Gates urges wealthy nations to invest in Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which provides lifesaving vaccines to more than half of the world’s children
SEATTLE (June 24, 2025) – The Gates Foundation today announced a commitment of US$1.6 billion over the next five years to support Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance—one of the most effective mechanisms for delivering lifesaving vaccines to children and preventing disease in the world’s most vulnerable communities.
“For the first time in decades, the number of kids dying around the world will likely go up this year instead of down because of massive cuts to foreign aid. That is a tragedy,” warned Bill Gates, chair of the Gates Foundation. “Fully funding Gavi is the single most powerful step we can take to stop it.”
The foundation’s renewed support comes amid a global crisis. International development programs have been severely impacted by declining budgets and shifting political priorities. After years of stagnation, foreign assistance plummeted this year, putting at risk the hard-won progress in child survival and public health made over the last 25 years.
“The legacy of our generation cannot be that we looked away as millions of poor children died of preventable causes,” said Gates. “The world now has affordable, effective, proven tools that save lives. Wealthy nations should fully fund Gavi and the Global Fund, the organizations created to get those products to the people who need them.”
The announcement precedes the Global Summit: Health & Prosperity through Immunisation, a pledging event for Gavi taking place on June 25 in Brussels, co-hosted by the European Union and the Gates Foundation. At the summit, Gates will join global leaders, many of whom are expected to announce new commitments to Gavi’s mission.
Early donor pledges to Gavi reflect broad support for immunization as a high-impact investment, as well as confidence in multilateral collaboration to accelerate progress on global health.
A Track Record of Impact—and an Urgent Road Ahead
Since its launch 25 years ago, with initial support from the Gates Foundation and a group of founding partners, Gavi has helped cut child mortality in half. It has vaccinated more than 1.1 billion children across 78 low-income countries, preventing nearly 19 million deaths from diseases like measles, pneumonia, and diarrhea.
Despite that progress, one in five children still lack access to essential vaccines, and outbreaks of preventable diseases—including measles and meningitis—are increasing, threatening to reverse decades of gains.
Gavi’s co-financing model emphasizes country ownership and long-term sustainability. As partner countries’ economies grow, they contribute more to their vaccine programs and eventually transition to self-financing. Since 2000, 19 countries have successfully graduated from Gavi support.
“Gavi’s model is unique in how it supports countries to build strong, self-sustaining immunization systems,” said Budi Gunadi Sadikin, minister of health, Indonesia. “Indonesia’s journey from a Gavi-supported country to a donor is a testament to what’s possible through true partnership.”
Foundation Support for a Stronger, Healthier Future
Since 2000, the Gates Foundation has committed more than US$30.6 billion to advance vaccines—investing in their discovery, development, and distribution. Of this, US$7.7 billion has been directed to Gavi, making it the foundation’s largest grantee.
Today’s renewed commitment to Gavi comes on the heels of the foundation’s 25th anniversary announcement that it will spend $200 billion over the next 20 years to accelerate its mission to help all people live healthy, productive lives. During this time, the foundation will work together with its partners to make as much progress as possible towards three primary goals:
Ending preventable deaths of mothers and babies
Preventing deadly infectious diseases in the next generation
Lifting millions out of poverty by expanding opportunities
Additional areas of focus for the foundation’s work continue to be helping U.S. students have pathways to opportunity; strengthening digital public infrastructure; applying new uses of artificial intelligence in health, education, and agriculture; and advancing gender equality to help women access education, health care, and financial services.
