The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast. Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who has repeatedly claimed in the face of scientific consensus that the vaccines are more dangerous than the virus, told the Daily Beast that Kennedy’s stance is shared by “influential” members of President Donald Trump’s family. Like Kennedy himself, no Trumps hold any scientific qualifications. Malhotra is a leading adviser to the controversial lobby group Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Action, which is seen as an external arm of Kennedy’s agenda as Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. He told the Beast that many of those closest to RFK Jr. have told him they “cannot understand” why the vaccine continues to be prescribed, and that a decision to remove the vaccine from the U.S. market pending further research will come “within months,” even if it is likely to cause “fear of chaos” and bring with it major legal ramifications.
“It could [happen] in a number of stages, including learning more about the data,” said Malhotra, who said there was an ongoing review into so-called “vaccine injuries” by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). “But given the increased talk of vaccine injuries in the past few weeks among the administration, it could also come with one clean decision.” Malhotra said skepticism among Kennedy’s circle of the COVID-19 jab is driven by a 2022 paper by a group of physicians and university professors and researchers, which appeared in the journal Vaccine. The peer-reviewed paper examined secondary analysis of “serious adverse events reported in… clinical trials of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in adults,” and said that those given the mRNA vaccines had a 16 percent higher risk of “excess serious adverse events” than those in the placebo group.
However, the study has been dismissed by large parts of the medical community, who say it underestimates the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines and overstates risks due to methodological flaws, biased data selection, and ignoring broader public health impacts.

Trump and RFK Jr. to Ban COVID-19 Vaccine ‘Within Months’

I’m going to have to start going to Mexico to get my flu shot.
Astrazeneca’s back on the menu boys.
This little slice of dystopia brought to you by a worm-addled nepo baby.
What about Sputnik V?
The one Trump himself funded and distributed through Project Warpspeed? This is both the dumbest and the darkest timeline, a lot of vulnerable people will die if they go through with this
It was restricted in Europe only for older people. The vaccine was only approved for emergency use, so it makes sense as covid is no longer an emergency. They need to go through the full testing and approval process just like every other vaccine.
Literal billions of doses given.
FYI, according to some quick googling:
* For every 1 million people on Earth 891.991 people have died of COVID since the pandemic first started.
* The current world population is estimated to be 8.005 billion people.
* So around 7.14ish million people globally have died of COVID.
* The above numbers don’t take into account how the earlier strains of COVID were more deadly, or how many of those deaths were before or after the vaccines became widely available. That said the number of deaths really starts to slow to a crawl by early 2023 (well after the vaccine was available to everyone) based on the charts I could find.
* I can’t find any reliable numbers on how many, if any, have died from the COVID vaccine. The closest numbers I could find that seemed at all credible were that 5,000ish people who had the vaccine who died by December 2021. Some of the deaths look to have been from very rare allergic reactions to the vaccine, but I can’t find a cause of death for the rest. And even that 5,000 death figure seems to have a lot of credibility issues based on fact check sites.
* This also doesn’t take into account non-death issues caused by COVID, otherwise called “long COVID”. Even people with the vaccine can get long COVID. For example I have an elderly relative who had the vaccine who’s memory got much worse after she got COVID 2 years ago.
So yeah, I find basically no credible evidence that COVID vaccine’s are harmful, which is just what healthcare providers would all say I have to imagine. And I have little doubt that the elderly relative I mentioned above would have died if she hadn’t received the COVID vaccine, as even with the vaccine she was hospitalized from it (she’s quite old and frail).
No way unless there is a bribery scheme hes doing. 100s of billions where talking about. Big pharma would 8647
The vaccine cost me my health and my job, but I still recognise it saved many more. Banning them is ridiculous. Investigate those that were harmed; definitely. Continue to use it amongst the most vulnerable (as is in UK); most definitely. Binary thinking is destroying society.
Remember 2020 when he was tripping over himself to call it “The Trump Vaccine”?
Before yall get spun up this is the daily beast lol
This is so fucking stupid. Fine, take it off the recommended list then, but don’t ban it. If doctors think it’s necessary for their patients they should have access to it.
Withholding medicine and science from the general public.
This is the single most insane thing done by this administration, and that’s saying a LOT.
Time to fucking panic.
Don’t worry. This will only be temporary. Once he extorts 15% off the top, he’ll let them sell here again.
