Unexpected and the Court Case Not Taken Seriously Enough.
On Thursday, March 19, 2026, Dr. Robert Malone
made a post on X
announcing what he called a disbandment of the CDC's ACIP
in the wake of the recent court decision in the AAP lawsui
t:
ACIP has been disbanded. The government’s
response to the AAP lawsuit and judge Murphey’s injunction is to disband and
then recreate a new ACIP committee, as this will take less time than would be
required to file and prosecute an appeal
. There will be no action from the
government to respond to the defamatory characterization of the former ACIP
members. ACIP will be reformed and start over.

How
a Gaggle of Vaccine Trade Groups Got a Federal Judge to Help Upsell Vaccines No
State Thinks Are Necessary
(Why the Ruling was clearly Wrong)
On March 16, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts
issued a preliminary injunction that freezes the federal childhood vaccine
schedule and strips the CDC director of the authority to change who gets which
vaccines. Here’s why the District Court ruling was wrong.
What we plan to do about it.
The order from the U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts does two things.
First,
Murphy held that the CDC director cannot change the immunization schedule
unless the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) originates the
change.
Murphy ruled
that
the changes to the CDC’s
vaccine recommendations,
approved
by the CDC’s then-acting director, Jim O’Neill, were invalid because the
changes didn’t come through ACIP. (See
Preliminary Injunction Opinion
, page 21: “The CDC cannot
simply bypass ACIP in altering the immunization schedules.”)
In
other words, the CDC director can’t initiate. He can only accept or reject what
ACIP gives him.
Second,
Murphy’s decision stayed the appointments of all 13 ACIP members that Murphy
ruled were improperly appointed (
Opinion
, pages 43-44). He found Kennedy violated “balance”
requirements.
Therefore,
ACIP cannot meet. Cannot deliberate. Cannot vote.
Why the District Court is wrong on the law
Murphy’s
ACIP-origination requirement doesn’t exist in any statute. It appears nowhere
in the text.
The
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) says advisory committees exist “solely
for advisory functions” and that determinations of policy “shall be made solely
by the President or an officer of the Federal Government” (
U.S. Code Title 5 Section
1008[b]
).
ACIP
advises. The director decides.
The
CDC’s own ACIP policies and procedures confirm it: the director “may adopt or
reject” ACIP recommendations, with a structured disagreement pathway, including
internal decision memos and Federal Register notice.
The
U.S. Supreme Court recognized this in
Braidwood Management v. Kennedy
, where footnote 4
acknowledges the director’s discretion in “adopting” ACIP recommendations.
“Adopting” presupposes independent authority. You don’t “adopt” something if
you’re required to accept it.
No
case has ever held that the CDC director is required to consult with ACIP
before issuing vaccine recommendations — In the entire history of the CDC. This
is the first.
Murphy’s
order imposes a precondition that the text does not
contain,
and
then shuts down the only body the order says the director needs.
What former acting director O’Neill
actually did
:
Nobody
seems to be talking about what the
Jan. 5 decision
actually
said. The hysteria has been about Kennedy. The legal briefs have been about
process.
So
here’s the substance.
O’Neill’s
decision was based on analyses from the National Institutes of Health, the FDA
and scientific experts across federal agencies (
Opinion, page 10
).
After a four-year legal battle, the
plaintiffs in the key censorship case,
Missouri v. Biden
, scored a free
speech victory. This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal
censorship machine, according to Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt, who served as the
state’s attorney general when the case was filed.

MEVI
ROUNDTABLE: MASSIVE EPIDEMIC OF VACCINE INJURY
The
HighWire
coverage of MAHA Institute Round Table focusing on the
Massive Epidemic of
Vaccine Injury
(MEVI), brings together experts, researchers, physicians,
and policy leaders to discuss emerging evidence, patient experiences, and the
broader implications for public health policy. The discussion aims to examine
concerns surrounding vaccine safety, injury reporting, regulatory oversight,
and the role of government institutions in monitoring adverse events.
Del breaks down the MAHA Institute’s
landmark conversation on vaccine injury.
At the MEVI Round Table: Massive
Epidemic of Vaccine Injury, held at the MAHA Institute in Washington, D.C.,
leading scientists, physicians, researchers, and parents gathered to examine
emerging evidence surrounding vaccine injury and the rise in chronic illness
among children.
In this powerful reflection, Del Bigtree discusses the growing body of research
presented at the MEVI Round Table, including scientific data, expert analysis,
and firsthand accounts from families affected by vaccine injury. The event
highlighted a shifting landscape in public health, where more experts are
openly questioning long-standing assumptions about vaccine safety,
transparency, and regulatory oversight.
As ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) marks ten years of legal victories,
investigative journalism, and advocacy for medical transparency, Bigtree
explains how lawsuits, independent research, and grassroots activism have
helped bring previously suppressed questions about vaccine injury and
pharmaceutical liability into the national conversation.
With increasing numbers of scientists, policymakers, and parents demanding
accountability, the dialogue around vaccine safety and informed consent is
entering a new phase—one focused on open debate, scientific rigor, and
transparency in public health policy.

The Dam Is Breaking
on Truth About Vaccine Injuries,
MAHA Institute President Says
Emerging studies with documentation available and expanding
health databases are exposing the
massive epidemic of vaccine injury
( MEVI
)
Mark Gorton, president of the MAHA Institute
,
said in his opening speech at this week’s MEVI event. Gorton called on
journalists to
be brave and help stop a generation of kids from getting a
host
of neurological and autoimmune diseases documented to be caused by
vaccines.
The conversation around vaccine
injury, pharmaceutical liability, and medical freedom is reaching a tipping
point. As lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers surge and courts begin
reconsidering long-standing liability protections, critics argue the legal
system may finally force accountability in an industry shielded by
disinformation from traditional market forces for decades.
Jefferey
examines the growing debate over the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
(VICP) and whether vaccine injury claims should be allowed to proceed outside
the federal system. With legal challenges intensifying and public awareness
rising after the COVID-19 era, many advocates say the push for transparency,
safer products, and manufacturer liability is gaining momentum.
Meanwhile,
state legislatures across the United States are becoming key battlegrounds for
vaccine policy. Arizona lawmakers are advancing a measure that would allow
voters to decide on vaccine mandates directly at the ballot box. Florida is
moving legislation to expand K-12 vaccine exemptions, including the creation of
a new conscientious exemption, while South Carolina lawmakers rejected an
attempt to remove religious exemptions during a measles outbreak.
Beyond
mandates, broader health policy shifts are also underway. Florida lawmakers are
considering legislation to license naturopathic doctors, potentially expanding
access to alternative and holistic health options after a decades-long absence.
At
the same time, major vaccine mandate lawsuits are unfolding. United Airlines
faces a massive class-action case from employees alleging religious
discrimination related to COVID-era vaccine policies, while Air Canada has
already been ordered to compensate pilots who were denied religious exemptions.
These cases could set major precedents for workplace vaccine policies and
religious rights.
At
the federal level, new turmoil is emerging inside the FDA and HHS, including
the announced departure of a top vaccine regulator and a lawsuit from major
medical organizations challenging changes to the CDC’s vaccine advisory
committee.
As
the legal, political, and cultural battles intensify, one question looms large:
Will the growing movement around vaccine injury and liability reshape the
future of vaccine policy, public health law, and pharmaceutical accountability?
Debates over medical freedom,
government authority, and digital surveillance are intensifying around the
world. From COVID-era mandates to emerging AI technologies that challenge
privacy, many people are asking who ultimately controls their health decisions,
personal data, and fundamental rights.
In
a notable cultural shift, journalists, lawmakers, and citizens are revisiting
the consequences of pandemic-era policies. Australian television host Karl
Stefanovic recently issued a public apology for promoting COVID vaccine
messaging without questioning government mandates, fueling broader calls for
media accountability and open scientific debate.
Meanwhile,
Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program is drawing international
scrutiny as the country approaches 100,000 assisted suicide cases. Disability
advocates, mental health professionals, and human rights organizations warn
that expanding assisted death beyond terminal illness could place vulnerable
populations at risk, particularly those facing poverty, isolation, or
inadequate healthcare.
Investigative
journalist Jefferey Jaxen also examines a landmark ruling from the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which found Peru responsible for forced
sterilization campaigns that violated women’s bodily autonomy. The decision
highlights the enduring importance of informed consent, medical ethics, and
reproductive rights.
At
the same time, new consumer technologies are raising mass surveillance
concerns. Reports reveal that footage captured by Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses
may be reviewed by overseas contractors to train artificial intelligence
systems, prompting privacy advocates to warn that everyday devices could expose
sensitive personal and financial information.
Despite
promises of an AI-driven future, public skepticism is growing. New polling
shows artificial intelligence among the least trusted technologies in America,
reflecting rising concerns about privacy, automation, and corporate power.
As
debates over medical autonomy, assisted dying policies, AI regulation, and
digital surveillance accelerate, many believe the world is approaching a
pivotal moment—one where citizens are demanding greater transparency,
accountability, and protection of human rights.
Jefferey Jaxen reports on
a
HHS leadership shakeup, and the growing demand for
accountability in public health.

Leadership Changes & Influence of MAHA and RFK Jr Waning in Trump
Administration and Congress
Separately, well-placed Republican sources in Washington told TrialSite News that the political momentum behind the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, once a prominent health policy theme associated with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has waned inside the Trump administration as we have reported, suggesting a recalibration of priorities in federal health leadership.
While the MAHA Movement and RFK Jr
appear to be losing influence with Trump & Congress, polls show the
movement and
it’s
goals are still growing in many
state Legislatures and among the Public. The MAHA MOVEMENT Lobbying appears to
have been more effective in some states than at the federal level where Lobby
pressure of powerful interests
have
been heavy.
Del speaks with Tracy
Slepcevic
of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) about why having
parents at the table matters.
Autism advocate Tracy Slepcevic,
author of Warrior Mom and founder of the Autism Health Summit, joins the show
to discuss her appointment to the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee
(IACC) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Slepcevic
shares her personal journey as the mother of a child with autism and explains
how her advocacy has grown into a broader movement focused on addressing the
underlying health conditions often associated with autism spectrum disorder.
She discusses what her new role on the IACC could mean for the future of autism
research, policy development, and federal coordination of autism programs in
the United States.
The
conversation explores key issues affecting families today, including regressive
autism, environmental influences, co-occurring health conditions, treatment
accessibility, and the financial burden many parents face when therapies are
not covered by insurance.
Slepcevic
also highlights the mission of the Autism Health Summit, where physicians,
researchers, and families gather to explore emerging science, integrative
approaches, and new strategies aimed at improving outcomes for children on the
autism spectrum.
With
autism rates continuing to rise, this interview examines the growing call for
expanded research, greater transparency, and informed decision-making in
children’s health.
Slepcevic
also previews the
upcoming Autism Health Summit in San Diego (April 24–26), featuring leading
voices in autism research, medicine, and advocacy.
Chef Aran Goldstein is
cookin
'! Chef joins the show to discuss school lunch
reform, healthy meals, and practical ways to bring real food home.
Chef Aran Goldstein discusses why real
food in schools may be one of the most important solutions to America’s growing
childhood health crisis. As concerns rise over ultra-processed school lunches,
childhood obesity, chronic disease, and poor nutrition, Goldstein explains why
the answer is not “
kids
food,” but simply real,
nourishing food served at school and reinforced at home.
Goldstein
breaks down how modern families have drifted away from cooking, how
institutional food systems have normalized processed meals, and why reclaiming
the kitchen is essential for restoring children’s health. He shares his
firsthand experience transforming school meal programs and describes the
immediate changes some families reported after children began eating meals made
with whole, simple ingredients instead of industrialized cafeteria food.
The
interview also explores the deeper cultural importance of food—how cooking at
home, eating together, and passing down family traditions can help rebuild
connection, improve well-being, and support healthier communities. Goldstein
offers a compelling vision for changing school lunch programs, reducing
dependence on processed food, and making healthy meals more accessible for
children and parents alike.
