To make clear how critical this right is, think about it this way: if you cannot go to school, get a job, enter public spaces, or utilize public transportation or commercial airlines if you refuse a medical procedure the government requires, then you basically have no rights. You become a prisoner in your own home, unable to get an education, earn a living, or participate in civil society. That is why the right to choose whether to get a medical procedure, without any coercion, is a fundamental right.

Prevnar 7 was licensed for infants at two, four, and six months of age with no placebo-controlled trial. There was no ethical reason to skip one. Instead, the control used in the clinical trial was another experimental vaccine, an investigational meningococcal conjugate vaccine that had never been licensed either. A JAMA article authored by FDA scientists acknowledged this approach can mask serious adverse events. Prevnar 7 then became the control used to license Prevnar 13. In that trial, serious adverse events including death, hospitalization, and permanent disability were reported in 8.2% of Prevnar 13 recipients and 7.2% of Prevnar 7 recipients. Prevnar 13 then became the control used to license Prevnar 15. Serious adverse events were reported in 9.6% of Prevnar 15 recipients and 8.9% of Prevnar 13 recipients. The FDA called it safe. Each generation of this vaccine was tested against the last one, and the last one was never tested against a true placebo. @AaronSiriSG calls it a pyramid scheme of safety, with a baseline that has never been shown to be safe at all.

🚨@ICANdecide Obtains Records Showing Large Numbers of Pertussis and Measles Cases Among the Vaccinated During the 2025 pertussis outbreak in West Virginia, health authorities used the surge to coerce vaccination and refuse medical exemptions, blaming the unvaccinated. ICAN filed legal demands for the actual data. In West Virginia, 71% of pertussis cases were in individuals who were fully up to date on their vaccines. Looking back across seven years of cases, 68% were vaccinated. In New York's measles outbreak, 33% of cases had received at least one dose of the MMR vaccine, with another 28% listed as unknown vaccination status. The narrative and the data are not telling the same story. Full article linked below - and please consider supporting @ICANdecide so this work can continue! 👇

🚨Moderna's new mRNA flu vaccine reduced absolute influenza risk by 0.8% in trials. In the same trials, 6.4% of recipients suffered severe reactions, five times the rate of the standard flu shot, and five mFlusiva recipients died in the Phase 3 trial compared to one in the standard flu shot group. Cardiac events, including fatal cardiac arrest, were also recorded. @ICANdecide sent an urgent letter to FDA's advisory committee documenting every one of these concerns before the vote. The committee acknowledged them, then voted unanimously to recommend approval anyway, with a note that further studies should be conducted after the vaccine is already in use. America's most vulnerable seniors, the population for whom mFlusiva showed no statistically significant efficacy at all, will once again serve as the test group while regulators wait years to determine whether the product is causing harm. ICAN will be filing FOIA requests for the full clinical trial data if mFlusiva receives final approval from FDA Acting Commissioner Kyle Diamantas. Full article linked below 👇

🚨While VRBPAC voted last week to recommend an updated COVID vaccine formula and the injured remain uncompensated, the CDC just signed $1.55 billion in new contracts with Pfizer and Moderna for adult and pediatric COVID-19 vaccines. The @ICANdecide and @React19org letter to the CDC details what the agency chose to ignore before signing those contracts. In Pfizer's own clinical trial, there were 21 deaths in the vaccinated group and 17 in the placebo group during the same period, with more participants in the placebo group. The FDA's own internal analysis revealed significant safety signals that were hidden from the public. The compensation program has paid out on 0.39% of COVID vaccine injury claims, with an average payout of $5,052. Five years (!!) after assuring the world these products are safe, the manufacturers still require PREP Act immunity for the very harms they claim won't occur. The letter also puts the CDC on notice that distributing these vaccines through the Vaccines for Children Program without ACIP approval would constitute a violation of federal law, and demands that the contracts be canceled and funds reallocated to the injured.

The Washington Post just ran a piece on @ICANdecide and Children's Health Defense with a headline that would have been unthinkable ten years ago: "Courts may deliver the anti-vaccine movement's biggest win." The article documents $28 million in legal spending since 2016, religious exemptions established in Mississippi, active cases in West Virginia, and Del on record saying the movement is built on courtroom victories. Every one of those wins came from nearly a decade of legal work funded by this community. The $1.5 million match is live through June 30th. Every dollar doubles. Donate at 👇
