RFK Jr. just appointed 8 new members to the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee.
He says the goal is to restore independence, transparency, and public trust in vaccine science.
Here’s a quick breakdown of who they are—and where they stand on vaccines.
Thread🧵
This is a brief intro to the 8 people RFK Jr. just appointed—feel free to reply with more info on them if you have it🧵
Dr. Robert Malone:
An early contributor to mRNA vaccine research, Malone now argues the tech was misused during the pandemic.
He was banned from Twitter during Covid for warning about spike protein toxicity.
He’s become one of the most vocal critics of mRNA shots in both adults and children.
Dr. Cody Meissner:
A pediatric infectious disease specialist from Dartmouth, Meissner served on prior FDA and CDC vaccine panels.
He supported Covid vaccines for older adults but raised red flags on risk–benefit for young children.
He’s expressed concerns about how fast mRNA shots were pushed into childhood schedules.
Dr. Joseph Hibbeln:
A psychiatrist and former NIH nutrition scientist, Hibbeln is known for studying how diet affects brain and immune function.
He hasn’t been a public voice on Covid shots, but he’s emphasized natural health over pharmaceutical intervention.
No major record of him discussing mRNA vaccines specifically.
Dr. James Pagano:
An emergency medicine physician with over 40 years of clinical experience, Pagano has worked in trauma centers and community hospitals across the country.
He’s served on hospital committees focused on critical care and patient safety, and brings a frontline medical perspective to the new ACIP.
No public statements found on Covid or mRNA vaccines.
I haven’t heard of Dr. Pagano and couldn’t find a picture I was sure was him so please reply if you have an image or more about his stance on vaccines🧵
Dr. Vicky Pebsworth:
A nurse and public health PhD who previously advised the FDA on vaccine safety.
She’s advocated for better informed consent and more research into long-term effects.
RFK Jr. just broke down what he eats in a day and shared simple, underrated advice for staying healthy.
No calorie counting, no obsession—just a focus on food quality.
“Stop counting calories.”
Thread🧵
RFK opened by discussing what his daily diet looks like.
“I usually do intermittent fasting, so I try to make my first meal lunch.”
“If I eat breakfast… I'll eat eggs and bacon.”
“We keep nuts and dried mango in the car for snacks.”
“I eat protein for dinner.”
“I try to stop eating after 7 PM.”
“I don't eat processed foods.”
“I eat large amounts of food, but I’m not worried about calories.”
RFK Jr. pointed out that before his time at HHS, the government had never acknowledged chronic disease as a national issue—let alone that food is a major cause.
“For the first time, it's not just fringe characters who are talking about this.”
“This is the government of the United States that for the first time has characterized this issue and said there is a problem.”
“The cause of the problem is food, over-medication, lack of exercise, and so on.”
RFK Jr. went on NBC for a tense and revealing interview.
They covered the MAHA report, overmedication, vaccines, and whether he really took his family swimming in a polluted creek.
Thread🧵
They opened by discussing the release of HHS’s MAHA report, which details the dire state of American health.
“This report is a summary of what people have been saying for many years.”
“We have a chronic disease epidemic in this country that is now existential for our country.”
“We're spending $4.5 trillion annually on health care in our country and we have the worst health outcomes.”
“We are more medicated, more obese, have higher autism levels, higher diabetes levels, and higher chronic disease than anybody in the world.”
“American teenage boys have half the sperm count and half the testosterone of a 65 year old man.”
“Our girls are reaching puberty 6 years early.”
“It's coming from environmental exposures from our food, from lack of exercise, and from chemical exposures across society.”
Then RFK Jr. shared that he believes fixing our food system could solve many of America’s overmedication problems.
“There are many diseases that can be treated with food.”
“In fact, in many cases juvenile diabetes and prediabetes, which now affects 38% of teens, can be reversed completely by changing diet.”
“Food affects mood, it affects mental illness, and it affects the immune system.”
“We need to make sure our kids have access to good food and that parents have access to the best information so they can make good choices for their children.”
During a Senate hearing, it was just confirmed Tulsi Gabbard was placed on the terrorist watch list Quiet Skies.
She joined Fox News to reveal something even crazier:
“Under this program not a single terrorist has been caught.”
Thread🧵
Some context for this 🧵:
Last year, Tulsi Gabbard was secretly placed on a terrorist watch list called Quiet Skies by the Biden administration—with no explanation.
Many on the left accused her of lying.
Today, at a Senate hearing, Rand Paul confirmed he saw records proving she was indeed put on the list.
“Just last night, I received the first set of records from the department regarding Tulsi Gabbard's placement on the TSA Quiet Skies watch list.”
“These documents confirm our suspicions.”
“Federal air marshal surveilled the now Director of National Intelligence during domestic flights in 2024, reporting back information related to her appearance and even how many electronics she was observed using.”
“Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case.”
Tulsi said she was added to the list right after appearing on Laura Ingraham’s show, where she criticized Kamala Harris.
“It was an interview that I did with you during July that really kicked off why I was placed on this list in the first place.”
“I was talking to you about how Joe Biden had just stepped down and Kamala Harris was gonna be the Democratic nominee, and I was warning the American people about how dangerous she would be for the safety, security, and freedom of the American people if she were to become commander in chief.”
“What Senator Paul is talking about here are documents that confirm two things.”
“One, that what I experienced and what whistle blowers came forward and exposed very early on in August is absolutely true.”
“Second thing that that these documents confirm is once again that that it was absolutely politically motivated.”
In his second congressional hearing of the day, he didn’t hold anything back.
“I’m gonna tell the truth about everything we know and we don’t know about vaccines.”
Thread🧵
RFK Jr. opened his second hearing saying he’s confident President Trump will work with Democrats to pass legislation backing his executive order to lower prescription drug prices.
“I know how determined President Trump is for us to have the lowest drug prices in the world.”
“I also know that he doesn't care how we get there. That's where he wants Americans to be.”
“I know it's something that Sen. Sanders has been talking about for many years.”
“I look forward to working with you on legislation so that we can get there.”
Then absolute chaos broke out during RFK Jr.’s opening statement.
Protestors all over the room started screaming.
Peaceful protest is a right—but this was a security failure.
If one of them rushed RFK, nothing was stopping them.
These were clearly paid activists, and whoever funds them could easily fund someone dangerous.
No one besides Trump has a bigger target on their back.
Bret Weinstein just made something clear on the Tucker Carlson podcast:
President Trump is the reason the Covid shot is still being recommended for kids.
“I believe it could be done effectively instantaneously, if the president was on board.”
Thread 🧵
Bret Weinstein said sources close to Trump told him the President refuses to hear any criticism of mRNA shots.
Tucker: “Where are we on the mRNA shots in The United States?”
“Everybody tells me that there's no way forward by reaching President Trump, he won’t hear it.”
“We are still recommending them for tiny children who don't stand to benefit at all.”
“The fact that these shots are still being recommended for children should tell you something because they shouldn't be given to anybody under any circumstances.”
“It's a crime.”
Even more concerning, Weinstein says if the president got on board, the recommendation for Covid shots in children could be reversed immediately.
But it some reason isn’t happening.
“I believe it could be done effectively instantaneously, if the President was on board.”
“The President has a certain amount of pride over Operation Warp Speed.”
“He feels mistreated over the rejection of Operation Warp Speed as an accomplishment, and that has caused him to dig in his heels.”
“This is unnecessary.”
“The President is in no way responsible for the appalling content of these shots.”
“He's not a biologist. He listened to people who knew the material far better than he did, and they lied to him.”
“He can be proud of Operation Warp Speed, and he can be livid at the people who lied to him about the shot, and he can be horrified by all the damage that the shot has done.”
RFK Jr. just EXPOSED the mainstream media for blatantly lying about his actions.
From 9/11 support to OSHA to autism, they’re twisting everything he does.
Thread🧵
RFK Jr. opened the interview by addressing Trump’s executive order that halts federal funding for gain-of-function research.
“In 1969, president Nixon banned gain-of-function research and shut down all the labs.”
“That ban lasted till 2001.”
“After the anthrax attacks in 2001, Anthony Fauci essentially restarted the arms race and did it under the pretension of developing vaccines.”
“So president Trump today moved to shut down this kind of research in this country and to stop funding it abroad.”
RFK Jr. also gave his opinion on whether Fauci demanded a pardon from Biden before leaving office because he knew that gain-of-function research caused Covid.
“I don't know what was going on in Joe Biden's head, but I think that Anthony Fauci probably asked for that pardon knowing that he had some liabilities here that were more than reputational.”
