RFK Jr. May Roll Back Major Achievement Donald Trump Called ‘Monumental’(WTH?)
NewsWeak ^ | August 25, 2025 | Editorial

Posted on 08/25/2025 12:02:15 PM PDT by Vendome

President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are allegedly planning to ban the COVID vaccine “within months,” years after Trump labeled the vaccine’s development during the pandemic as a “monumental achievement,” according to an associate of Kennedy’s.

Newsweek reached out to HHS via email for comment.

 

Why It Matters

Trump said in December 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, that the development of a vaccine as part of Operation Warp Speed was a “historic” success.

He commended doctors, scientists, industry executives, and state and local leaders for expediting the process and mass distributing an initiative that later garnered criticism from a portion of his political base, along with questions and concerns about the vaccine’s efficacy and potential health impacts.

Kennedy has faced criticism from some for his past remarks about vaccine safety and efficacy, which have been labeled as misleading and false. He has stated he is not “anti-vaccine.”

Earlier this month, Kennedy announced a departmental decision to pull a total of $500 million in federal funding for 22 mRNA vaccine development projects “because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu.”

What To Know

The potential phasing out of the COVID-19 vaccine is coming in the next few months, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist, vaccine skeptic and Kennedy associate, told the Daily Beastadding that Kennedy’s stance is shared by “influential” members of Trump’s family.

Malhotra, a leading adviser to the lobby group MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) Action, said that many of those closest to Kennedy have told him they “cannot understand” why the vaccine continues to be prescribed.

Trump was being cued in by Fauci back then......a man who has now been found wanting.

It was a monumental achievement...at the time. Neither he nor the vast majority of us, including medical doctors, knew what the dire cost was going to be.

Trump reacted as he was expected to as Commander in Chief, but there were side effects of those vaccines no one (virtually no one) knew about until after they were in wide distribution.

Some of that collateral damage could not be avoided, due to the panic and uncertainty of that era.
For many, the social effects of the Covid Era were worse than the virus. Mandatory Shots or jobs taken away. Isolation, detachment, overbearing and bossy behavior by the Control Freak that lives within all of us.
School missed, lessons never to be fully learnt.

They want to pin the vax on him

My colleagues around here do too. Their kids got it and they’re mad at Trump for that. Meanwhile they all hate Trump and did not get it because of him. Furthermore Trump promoted HCQ and ivermectin and Trump never did never would have mandated it

In the old days we sought the advice of the family doctor.
Now, the patient and family doctor must follow the decisions of the politicians. So we follow the politicians.

Some politicians have good intentions. Many are tied to their campaign donations. Some politicians are well intentioned but mistaken.

Is there a balance between the individual and the Feds with non-govermental doctors, relgious and norm enforcersf and state and local government in the middle of the balance?

Has the power of the HHS gone too far? Maybe we should not expect the HHS to be perfect, nor the role of the HHS secretary to make decisions that should be decisions of the individual and the doctor and other advisors sought.

Getting rid of the mRNA poisons is an excellent idea.

The mRNA experimental garbage uses YOUR ribosomes to generate proteins that your immune system will allegedly use to help fight the Covid bugs.

Many problems exist, including suspected misfolded proteins and also generation of Frankenstein peptides and proteins which no sane person would want their cellular machinery to manufacture.

One could argue that people who take the mRNA shots are volunteering to be (sort of) GMOs; and if that's scary, good.

That said, the Novavax Covid vaccine, a protein-based vaccine, in a shot that does not take over your body's cellular machinery to create anything. I've taken the Novavax shot for three years with no Covid and no side effects.

Maybe mRNA vaccine technology will be used again down the road. But not until further admission of the full extent of the medical issues it can and does cause, and scientific research that conquers those issues.

It my own case in caused massive development of the immune system cytokine, IL-17A, which is a known protagonist in the autoimmune issue known as psoriasis. Try fighting psoriasis everywhere on your body for 9 months of a year without taking the general immune system depressing drugs often prescribed for psoriasis. There are other autoimmune issues the mRNA vaccines excited as well as very well recognized increases in myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), especially among younger men and teen boys.

Meanwhile, the medical R&D about vaccines has to go into how to come up with and make faster the standard vaccines for viruses like Flu and Covid.

famine, plague, war == fear.

those are the devil’s favorite weapons and gov’t knows well how to deploy them to maintain tyranny over the stupid and weak. always willing to quickly jettison their liberty for a little security.

‘vaccines’ and ‘public health’ are just evil’s latest weapons in the eternal war between good and evil.

1. There has never been an effective and safe mRNA vaccine, and

2. There here has never been a safe and effective vaccine against any coronavirus.
Science could not overcome these two insurmountable challenges in record time by way of Operation Warp Speed. Accordingly, I didn't get a COVID “vaccine.”

As a hockey fan, I noticed the following:

All players (allegedly fully vaccinated as per NHL )
Boston 9/22 players have tested positive for COVID
Calgary 17/22
Carolina 8/22
Colorado 5/22
Columbus 6/22
Detroit 9/22
Florida 6/22
Toronto 6/22
Vancouver 6/22 + head coach
Nashville 6/22

My MD didn’t believe the lies. I asked if I should get the vax.

The liberals accused the conservatives of wanting to "inject bleach" and they supported giving us the ability to do so ... even encouraging it in some instances. So, I am torn.

On the one hand, why shouldn't they likewise be encouraged and given the opportunity to shoot poison into their own bodies? For pity sake, they give away free needles to drug addicts and see nothing wrong with it. Shouldn't they be allowed to suffer of their own free will, as they tried to force us to suffer against ours with mandatory vaccinations?

On the other hand, I'm a better person than they are and would not want to tarnish my afterlife further by wasting effort being vindictive.

The struggle is real.

It never ceases to amaze me how people in journalism” with no real world accomplishments always arrogantly presume to stand in judgement over those who do.

That Trump learned and evolve from a mistaken position, while the “editors” of major publications still refuse to, is a point in Trump’s favor.
