🚨 The media isn’t telling you the REAL reason RFK Jr. just fired the entire ACIP.
One of the “experts” helped approve a vaccine — while secretly developing his own version behind the scenes.
After he sold it for $186 million, he said “it felt like winning the lottery.”
Let’s talk about Dr. Paul Offit.
🧵 THREAD
RFK Jr. just cleaned house at ACIP — the panel that decides which vaccines your child gets.
Mainstream media is in full meltdown.
But not one outlet has addressed the reason this committee lost all public trust:
The rotavirus scandal. 👇👇👇
In 2000, Congress investigated ACIP and found rampant conflicts of interest.
6 of 10 members on the rotavirus working group had financial ties to vaccine makers.
These included stock ownership, consulting fees, and grants.
Among those with conflicts: Dr. Paul Offit.
He sat on the ACIP panel, held a patent on a competing rotavirus vaccine, and had just recieved a $350,000 grant from Merck to develop said vaccine.
Yet still, he was allowed to vote on rotavirus policy.
What happens next will SHOCK you.
But first, let’s make sure we don’t lose each other forever in the algorithm.
I cover MAHA, parental rights, bodily autonomy, and all things sacred.

Back to the thread:
Offit’s vaccine — RotaTeq — was licensed by the FDA in 2006.
The deal was later valued at $182–186 million, via CHOP and the Wistar Institute.
Funded, developed, and sold.
All while Offit sat on the nation’s preeminent vaccine approval panel.
RFK Jr. recounts Offit’s own words on the massive payout:
“It was like winning the lottery.”
Let that sink in: an ACIP member profited potentially millions from a vaccine he helped push.
He wasn't advising the government from a non-biased place of “expertise,” he was sitting on a personal gold-mine.
This is TEXTBOOK regulatory capture.
The media knows all of this.
But instead of reporting it, they frame Kennedy’s ACIP firings as “anti-science.”
They’re protecting insiders like Offit, who made millions while shaping national policy.
THAT’S the real news here.
But they won’t touch it.
Unfortunately, the story doesn’t end there.
According to a 2009 HHS Inspector General report, 97% of federal health advisory members had incomplete or missing financial disclosures.
That includes ACIP.
Paul Offit wasn’t alone; he’s just one of the most shocking cases.
RFK Jr. isn’t the first one to sound the alarm on ACIP. Listen to this scathing takedown of the panel by Dr. James Neurnschwander:
“I have personally witnessed vaccine injuries in my career as an emergency room physician, and I can tell you it is not rare and certainly more than one in a million.
I've also heard hundreds and thousands of stories from parents and patients who will swear that it was a vaccine that caused their or their children's autism, autoimmunity, asthma, or other chronic illness.
And I'm here today to tell you you're losing the confidence of those people and the health care practitioners that care for them when it comes to vaccine safety.”
It should INFURIATE you that they’ve known about this corruption for decades, but sat back.
The same corrupted approval process recommended HPV, RSV, and mRNA COVID shots… all greenlit by panels with overlapping pharma ties.
Regulatory capture has undoubtedly caused MILLIONS of injuries and deaths.
But ACIP? They laugh about it.
Watch this clip where the panel giggles as they admit to being a marketing branch for Pharma:
"We have no data to make a recommendation one way or the other.
Our general approach to immunizations is that they should be given... they can be given at the same time in different limbs."
The bottom line is simple.
RFK Jr. isn’t firing the experts.
He’s firing insiders with undisclosed conflicts who helped turn our health policy into a corporate product pipeline!
This rotavirus scandal is only the tip of the iceberg.
I’ll be doing a deep-dive tomorrow on the BILLIONS funneled through ACIP:
