In what appears to be a response to a pending lawsuit from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Big Pharma industry front group masquerading as a Public Health™ advocacy “nonprofit,” the CDC recently reverted to its July 2025 COVID vaxx recommendations encouraging all infants and children, even healthy ones, to get the shot via “shared clinical decision-making” despite no FDA authorization for this cohort.

Via The Defender:
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly reinstated its July 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including recommending the vaccine for “off-label” use among infants and children, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., reported.
According to the CDC’s updated webpage, the agency now recommends the COVID-19 shot for all adults ages 18 and older and for children ages 6 months to 17 years who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.
For children not at high risk — including males ages 12-24, who have the highest risk for vaccine-associated myocarditis — the CDC recommends the vaccine based on shared clinical decision-making.
The updated recommendations conflict with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for the vaccines.
There are currently no FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and adults younger than 64. For those younger than 65, the vaccines are only FDA-approved for those at high risk of COVID-19 illness, at various ages depending on the vaccine.
The CDC acknowledges that use of the vaccine in that age group would be an “off-label” use.”

Whenever stuff like this occurs, which has happened multiple times under this administration — the brazen subversion of the stated MAHA agenda, to be precise — the question begs itself: who is really calling the shots at CDC, FDA, et al.?
No one in the MAHA coalition voted for COVID shots for kids or mRNA flu vaccines or any such bullshit.

Plainly, the Public Health™ bureaucracy is still besieged by interests friendly to Big Pharma.
Newly appointed CDC Director Erica Schwartz, for instance, like her predecessor whom RFK Jr. fired, is, to put it diplomatically, dubious on the vaccine question— yet, ostensibly, Kennedy is her boss as HHS Secretary and thus theoretically enjoys veto power over her decisions.
While there have been several indisputable wins for MAHA, the pattern that has emerged is one step forward, two steps back.

Thus, one of two explanations for the infant COVID shot reversal presents itself:
· RFK Jr. is now, or perhaps always was, insincere in his professed beliefs — a Trojan Horse deployed to sneak Big Pharma’s agenda over the goal line by pacifying the resistance that hardened post-COVID
· He is sincere but has not been able to wrestle away full control of the Public Health™ apparatus from the pharmaceutical industry nearly two years into the administration
My bet’s on the latter — which isn’t to make an excuse for the Secretary.
Given his extensive background waging lawfare against the pharmaceutical industry and his founding of Children’s Health Defense, which I believe to be sincere in its mission, as well as the many moments of genuine bravery he has exhibited over the years in the face of intense, vicious, unrelenting political attack from the power structure, I don’t believe he’s controlled opposition, even as he fails to deliver again and again.

The argument that MAHA apologists often make — the ones who Trust the Plan™, as it were — is that RFK Jr. is simply playing the long game.
It’s a long march through the institutions, as the Bolsheviks say.
(For the record, the official Armageddon Prose policy position is that the Public Health™ regime is too far gone for reform. The only viable solution is to nuke it and then either resurrect a replacement regime free from the endemic corruption and depopulationist ideology from the ashes or relegate the concept of a public health regime itself to the dustbin of history.)
