What RFK Jr.’s CDC Doesn’t Want You to Know
The CDC is withholding critical information about vaccine-preventable diseases from the American public. Why?
On January 27, 2026, researchers from Vanderbilt University, the University of North Carolina, and Harvard Medical School published a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine that revealed a surprising and previously unrealized aspect of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s war on vaccines. Two vaccines were at the center of their findings: influenza and COVID.
RFK Jr. has done everything he can to discourage the use of influenza vaccine. In February 2025, within days of his confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), RFK Jr. canceled the CDC’s campaign to encourage influenza vaccination. Then, on January 7, 2026, he told a CBS News reporter that children might be “better off” if they didn’t get an influenza vaccine. His war against the influenza vaccine for children has been successful—289 children died last year from influenza and another 60 have died in January 2026. Virtually all were unvaccinated.
Similarly, RFK Jr. has waged a war on COVID vaccines. In 2021, when COVID vaccines were first available for children, RFK Jr. claimed that they were “the deadliest vaccines ever made.” In May 2025, three months after being sworn in as Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr. said that he was no longer recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children. RFK Jr.’s plan to discourage COVID vaccinations in children has also been successful. During this past year, roughly 7,000 children were hospitalized with COVID. About 20 percent of those hospitalized were admitted to the intensive care unit, half were previously healthy, virtually all were unvaccinated, and 152 died, most less than four years of age.
Because RFK Jr.’s campaigns against vaccines have been successful, children have suffered and died unnecessarily. This isn’t a good look for the Trump administration. RFK Jr. knows that he must do something to hide these heartbreaking outcomes. His solution can be found in the study that was just published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Investigators examined 82 CDC databases that had been updated monthly before RFK Jr. became head of HHS. They found that 44 of the 82 databases continued to be updated monthly whereas 38 had unexplained pauses. None of the 44 databases that were updated concerned vaccines. Among the 38 databases that had unexplained pauses, 33 (87%) reported information about respiratory diseases like influenza and COVID that included statistics on hospitalizations and emergency department visits.
RFK Jr.’s plan is simple. If the public doesn’t know the actual number of hospitalizations and deaths caused by influenza and COVID, they can continue to withhold vaccines with impunity. And if state and local health departments don’t know about the areas of greatest risk for outbreaks, they won’t launch immunization clinics in regions with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr.’s “see no evil” approach is working. An increasing number of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children.
Until Congress stands up to the anti-vaccine activist who currently heads our nation’s number one public health agency, outbreaks will continue and children will suffer and die needlessly. Worse, because of recent changes at the CDC, we might have no idea just how bad things really are.
When will people in the US recognize that RFK, Jr’s policies are meant to spread misery and death? What will it take for us to rise up against the efforts of this regime to immiserate us? I can’t decide if it is out of some misguided sense of religious fervor, an ideological commitment to eugenics, or sheer governmental malpractice
RFKJ has long been opposed to Influenza immunization. Where that irrationality began is not clear. But his opposition to COVID mRNA vaccination stems largely from the influence of Robert Malone. Although there were others who expressed generalized concern during the imRNA vaccine rollout, it was Malone who rose from obscurity in 2020 and skyrocketed to fame on the Rogan Show shortly thereafer by falsely claiming he had invented it.
Malone's influence was pivotal because his claim of invention lent an umatched aura of credibility and authority. Indeed it was Malone who procalimed himself the "world's most knowledgable person" on mRNA vaccination. Although some have downplayed that, his status as an early mRNA researcher remains largely unchallenged. He remains an accepted authority shaping opinion and policy from his perch at the CDC ACIP. RFKJ's opposition to mRNA vaccination arises in large part from Malone's influence.
That influence cannot be overstated. Credible research from the Commonwealth Fund estimates that upwards of 300,000 Americans died from COVID due to refusal to be vaccinated - a genocidal level of unnecessary death.
Few have actually dissected the 1989 PNAS paper Malone points to as his definitive research. Doing so reveals quite clearly, Malone did not invent RNA transfection. His subject matter authority is built on a bedrock of extreme embellishment which has yet to be exposed by the mainstream media. For a detailed analysis of this paper and a clear eyed elucidation of exactly what Malone's role was, and more importantly, what it was not, see the two aricles below.
