Dr Naomi Wolf, and many other health actionists, have sent an open letter to American HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary on the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, which seems to be in stormy waters, if not destined for shipwreck. These concerns relate to the Covid mRNA vax, which as covered for years at this blog, is at the very least controversial because of its health risks, and at worse, outright dangerous, unsafe in general and ineffective critics argue. These concerns were made by Robert Kennedy in his best-selling books, and at one time Kennedy himself was regarded as a top promoter of misinformation because of these critical books. Yet now Kennedy has power in the Trump administration, we see that there is omission of the mRNA injections from the recently released "MAHA Report"; and the reaffirmation of the CDC's recommendations for mRNA injections. These measures were key policies of Kennedy, a hill which he would supposedly die upon he said. The letter below while polite, paints a clear picture of where the US Covid vax policies now stand, which is little improvement upon what existed under the Biden administration. As the letter notes:
"You stated the shots were removed from the CDC recommendation for pregnant women. But pregnancy remains listed as a "high risk" health category in the revised FDA policy for mRNA vaccines. It is especially troubling that the new versions of mRNA injections are recommended for all pregnant women, without this platform ever having been tested and proven safe in pregnancy. Pregnant women have not been made any safer by your wordplay."
So, nothing much has changed under Kennedy, despite lip service. This is a worry, with deep meta-political consequences, as Kennedy was thought by many of us anti-vaxxers to be sound and incorruptible, or at least steadfast in his position. Apparently not, with the cut and thrust of politics and Big Pharma's power playing its part we can assume, along with dealing with an entrenched administration. This illustrates a more general political problem of how difficult political change against the establishment is, even with power, and even starting out with good will.

"Dear HHS Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Dr. Makary,
We are writing this open letter to express deep concerns about recent policies emerging from HHS, the CDC and the FDA: specifically, the omission of the dangerous mRNA injections from the recently released "MAHA Report"; and the reaffirmation of the CDC's recommendations for mRNA injections. Removal of the mRNA platform from the market is one of the main goals of the grassroots MAHA movement.
Millions of concerned parents set aside partisan differences and identities to embrace the historic MAGA/MAHA alliance. Instead of policy action on these key issues, we, the undersigned, along with many other citizens, see a set of distractions, linguistic misdirections, and watered-down policy announcements that avoid taking serious action on the deadly mRNA injections.
Contrary to what Dr. Makary recently stated, we do not need more data to establish whether the mRNA platform should or should not be recommended. The data are in, from many credible sources, including numerous peer-reviewed publications, the analysis of the Pfizer documents released via Aaron Siri's lawsuits, VAERS and vSAFE datasets, and data produced by foreign governments. The data show catastrophic levels of deaths and serious damage from the mRNA injections, as well as reproductive damage, including high miscarriage rates.
We do not need more studies to pull the mRNA injections from the market. You do not need Congress nor another election. You do not need a new mandate from voters – your own appointments to HHS and the FDA, and the election of President Trump in the MAGA-MAHA alliance, are the mandate. Indeed, your recent wordplay about "removing" the mRNA injection from being recommended to "pregnant women" and "healthy children" appears misleading, vis-à-vis the actual policy changes published by the FDA and CDC. The published policies reserve the power to "recommend" them for every child except the "healthy".
Most US children, as you, Secretary Kennedy, have pointed out yourself, have health issues, and healthcare encounters often involve a currently sick child who may be labelled "immunocompromised." If a child has asthma or allergies, pre-diabetes or is overweight, has a damaged heart or an impaired immune system, that child is not "healthy," yet that child will now be targeted with an mRNA shot. It appears that you are going to continue to recommend the shots that now have an FDA warning for heart damage, to children with heart damage, and recommend a shot that damages the immune system, to parents of children whose immune systems are compromised.
The new FDA Covid shot policy claims to be evidence-based. However, no evidence was provided, and none exists to our knowledge, that supports statements that the categories of people marked as "vulnerable" by this FDA policy, would benefit from mRNA injections.
Conflating clearly established risks with automatically assumed benefit from a product that is still legally a poorly-regulated, liability-free EUA Countermeasure under PREP Act emergency declaration, defies scientific reason and common sense.
You stated the shots were removed from the CDC recommendation for pregnant women. But pregnancy remains listed as a "high risk" health category in the revised FDA policy for mRNA vaccines. It is especially troubling that the new versions of mRNA injections are recommended for all pregnant women, without this platform ever having been tested and proven safe in pregnancy. Pregnant women have not been made any safer by your wordplay.
Lastly, there is evidence of the removal of parental rights to choose the health treatment for their children, buried in CDC's language. Even for healthy children, the CDC insists on parents "sharing the decision" with healthcare providers, including pharmacists who lack authority to treat patients. By stating the decision to inject a child with mRNA is a "shared decision", while "routine" injections are treated as the "default decision to inject", a dangerous legal precedent is being set, assigning powers to the Federal government that have legally belonged only to parents.
We object strongly to any more equivocation and prevarication from HHS. We did not fight for you to be in positions of leadership, so that our clearly stated policy goals would suffer a "bait and switch" that rebrands MAHA's powerful objection to the damaging mRNA platform as a concern about the coloring agents added to Skittles.
MAHA is not the possession of Secretary Kennedy, Commissioner Marty Makary, advisor Calley Means, or Surgeon General nominee Dr. Casey Means. MAHA is the voice of millions of desperate parents, many with injured or deceased children. Those furious parents were active before any of you were in office, and their activism will outlast any administration. The MAHA vote, especially of independent moms, is an historic game-changer. Neither MAGA nor the Democrats could have won without this critical swing vote.
MAHA voters can walk away if we continue to see inaction, let alone condescending non-policy, on our core issues.
And we will.
If you continue to ignore the centerpiece of our policy agenda – taking all mRNA products covered by PREP Act emergency declarations entirely off the market – you will pay a political price. We will run our own candidates at the state level; and we will find other challengers and sponsors, who share our values and get behind our draft bills, at the Federal level, for the midterms and even for 2028.
We ask you to deliver our actual policy goals in the near term, or we advise that you will face the electoral consequences:
1. Ban mRNA/gene therapy-derived technologies for all vaccines, due to definitively demonstrated abject failure regarding safety, efficacy and disease prevention in the real-world setting of over 4 years of deployment and billions of administered doses.
2. Terminate the PREP Act declaration for COVID injections, as there is no emergency.
Extension of this declaration, with its ironclad liability shield for manufacturers and administrators, serves no public health interest whatsoever.
3. Recommend that Congress repeal the PREP Act entirely, due to numerous Constitutional conflicts.
4. Ban pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising, as is the case in every other country except New Zealand.
5. Review and revise current HHS level policies that create perverse incentives for healthcare providers for medical coercion, including but not limited to vaccinations.
6. End conflicts of interest at CDC, FDA, NIH and NIAID.
Sincerely,
Not For Sale:"
