This is how the FDA’s Mad Hatter “logic” for vaccine approval works, detailed in the 2022 book Turtles All The Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth …
“After a lecture on cosmology and the structure of the solar system, [William] James was accosted by a little old lady.”
She said:
“Your theory that the Sun is the centre of the solar system, and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it … but it’s wrong. I’ve got a better theory.”
“That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant turtle.”
“The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him.”
James asked: “But what does the second turtle stand on?”
“It’s no use, Mr. James—it’s turtles all the way down,” she replied.
The old lady’s irrational explanation is the same line of reasoning the FDA used to justify licensure of the new MenQuadfi vaccine.
The “placebo” used in trials to establish the safety profile for MenQuadfi was no placebo at all.
It was the meningitis vaccine Menveo.
In other words, Sanofi used another vaccine as a comparator rather than a true placebo, like saline water.
🚨Sanofi’s trials revealed that an ALARMING 5.3% of infants injected with MenQuadfi experienced at least one serious adverse event (SAE).
3.6% of infants experienced an SAE after the Menveo vaccine.
By comparing MenQuadfi’s 5.3% risk to Menveo’s 3.6% risk, the FDA claimed the “similar” SAE rates meant that the MenQuadfi vaccine must be “safe” simply because Menveo is assumed to be “safe.”
In a sleight of hand as clever as a professional magician’s tricks, the FDA took two risky products and compared them to one another in order to make the adverse effects to babies seem less alarming for the new MenQuadfi vaccine.
But if the FDA were honest, it would have recognized the clear danger signals for both drugs and REFUSED to approve either one.
🚨But the plot thickens …
Using the Menveo vaccine as a “placebo” should have been egregious enough to render the MenQuadfi trial null and void.
Upon further investigation, however, we discover that the Menveo safety trial was standing on a bigger turtle.
Menveo’s licensure was based on a trial in which Sanofi’s meningococcal vaccine, Menactra, was used as the control.
And Menactra’s licensure stood on an even bigger turtle.
Menactra was licensed based on a safety trial that used Sanofi’s Menomune vaccine (discontinued in 2017) as a control.
Menomune, meanwhile, NEVER faced a proper placebo-controlled trial.
🚨Before we go on with the thread …
We’re fighting lawsuits across America—from Los Angeles to the CDC—to strike back against tyrannical medical mandates.
The FDA’s package insert for Menomune from 2016 made a SHOCKING admission:
“Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.”
Thus, the FDA admitted that its own logic used to approve the Menactra, Menveo, and MenQuadfi vaccines is null and void.
What does this mean for the FDA’s vaccine approval process?
We have vaccines that got approved based on comparisons with previous vaccines …
… that got approved based on comparisons with previous vaccines …
… that got approved based on no proper safety tests.
All of this makes for an upside-down Vaccine Wonderland.
No true placebo-controlled, double-blind studies are anywhere to be found—EVER.
Instead, the public is saddled with a product that has a HIGHER risk of serious harm than the disease it’s supposed to prevent.
In the words of ICAN lead attorney, Aaron:
“[It’s] a pyramid scheme of safety.”
“At the bottom … there is no baseline on which safety is being judged. Just a get-it-licensed-to-profit shell game.”
“FDA and pharma have nothing to lose here.”
“We, as taxpayers, will pay for all of the harms suffered and, worst of all, the children who are injected and harmed and their families will really pay for the harms.”
🚨Before you go: we can’t fight Pharma and Big Government alone.
We have won LANDMARK lawsuits striking down tyrannical medical mandates—but we need your support.
🚨We just launched a massive campaign to SAVE medical freedom.
In spring 2025, medical freedom got our biggest win EVER.
Idaho outlawed ALL medical mandates.
Vaccines, masks—everything.
Now, we’re turning that win into a model for all 50 states.

We just released a package of proven tools to bring health freedom, informed consent, and personal liberty safeguards to your state in partnership with Stand for Health Freedom.
We released 3 tools:
1. The Model Health Freedom Act—a formal legislative draft ready to be introduced in State legislatures.
2. The Advocacy & Education Kit—a support kit for the grassroots.
3. The Legislative Hearing Packet—a support kit for lawmakers and staff.
And we’re launching a social media campaign to help you bring the Medical Freedom Act to YOUR state.
All the information and links you need are below:

The last 5 years proved that state-level action to protect our freedoms from intrusion into our medical choices is ESSENTIAL.
So we’re launching a movement to SAVE Medical Freedom alongside Stand for Health Freedom.
Here are the 3 tools we released:
🧵
1. The first tool in our packet is the Model Health Freedom Act.
This is a formal legislative draft ready to be introduced in State legislatures.
The Model Medical Freedom Act’s purpose is “to affirm and protect the right of individuals to make autonomous decisions regarding medical interventions without discrimination, coercion, or exclusion by public or private entities.”
It’s only 4 pages, increasing the likelihood of passage without unnecessary language and definitions.
This isn’t a joke—we’re about to expose Big Pharma’s most cynical ploy yet.
The same states that ordered the most severe lockdowns and mandates in 2020 are now claiming “states rights” to protect their power to MANDATE vaccines as RFK Jr. reforms the CDC.
And they’re relying on the same Pharma-funded “experts” that controlled the CDC for decades.

Pharma can’t stop our movement—so here’s how they’re trying to hijack it instead:

Big Pharma is losing control of the CDC and the narrative—and they know it.
So they’re trying a new strategy.
They can’t stop the health freedom movement.
Now, they’re trying to hijack it instead:🧵
First, some quick background:
The CDC vaccine schedule has exploded since the 1986 NCVIA created a blanket liability shield for vaccine manufacturers.
The government guarantees reimbursements for vaccines under the Vaccines For Children program—which provides all vaccines on the CDC schedule at no cost to eligible children.
And VFC supplies between 50-55% of ALL childhood vaccines in the US.
🚨We are calling for an URGENT independent study into aluminum in childhood vaccines.
President Trump just declared he wants aluminum out of vaccines.
Did you know that Big Pharma’s own study accidentally proved a link between aluminum in vaccines and autism?
And it’s not just autism.
Aluminum is a known neurotoxin linked to all kinds of chronic diseases—which are now skyrocketing in our children.

We’re about to EXPOSE why aluminum in vaccines is one of the greatest threats to our children today:
🧵THREAD
Bookmark this thread above.
We will not settle for anything less than the full truth about autism, and the full restoration of your right to medical freedom and informed consent, free from coercion and threats to your livelihood.
🚨We are calling for an URGENT independent scientific inquiry into the impact of aluminum as an adjuvant in the childhood vaccine schedule and a dubious “placebo” used in most safety studies for new vaccines.
Aluminum acts as an adjuvant in vaccines by creating acute, local toxicity and cell death, and creating an immune reaction to drive a response against an antigen.
However, some cells take the aluminum into their cytoplasm and can move it around the body for extended periods.
This unpredictable process of retention and distribution is what may cause more severe events and long-term damage.
But as a regulatory matter, levels of aluminum are optimized based on the antibody response being at a certain level, not concerns about safety.
🚨A California court just quietly delivered the most SWEEPING ATTACK on our freedom in years.
And the media hasn’t even mentioned it.
99% of people have no idea what’s coming.
The legal immunity, liability shields, and mandate authority for vaccines could soon extend to ALL pharmaceutical products.

HFDF stands firmly and unambiguously against ALL forced medicine.
Since 2020, the American people, particularly young parents, have increasingly turned against forced medicine.
As this groundbreaking political shift accelerates, there will be a FIERCE institutional and legal response to preserve the existing corrupt system.
Now, those reactions are becoming increasingly hasty and ill-conceived.
Some are even desperately pulling at the threads of the dubious utilitarian arguments that constitute the cocoon of legal exceptionalism enjoyed by vaccines in the US for over a century.
This was the case on July 31, 2025, when the Ninth Circuit ruled against us and upheld the Los Angeles Unified School District’s draconian Covid-19 shot mandate for all employees.
For a summary of the Ninth Circuit’s ruling on July 31 and its terrifying implications, read the thread below.
In short, it delivered a blank check for all kinds of tyrannical medical mandates.
Now, what does this mean for the future of the health freedom movement?🧵
This former Wall Street executive just became Big Pharma’s WORST NIGHTMARE.
Leslie Manookian had it all—she worked for Goldman Sachs and Alliance Capital.
Then she threw it all away.
Why?
Because a Pharma CEO told her he KNEW their drugs killed people—and he didn’t care, because he could still make $7 billion/year from it.

Leslie is now spearheading a health freedom REVOLUTION to STOP Big Pharma—and YOU can join her fight.

Since the 1990s, Pharma has paid $35 billion in fines for harming people, ruining lives, and lying about the consequences of their drugs.
And none of it even phases them—which is why Leslie has dedicated her life to a health freedom REVOLUTION:🧵
🚨Health Freedom Defense Fund Founder/President Leslie Manookian saw something so TERRIFYING that she abandoned a wildly successful career on Wall Street …
She saw firsthand how Pharma executives were openly willing to sacrifice lives to sell more drugs.
She started out working for Goldman Sachs, then left to work for Alliance Capital.
“We happened to be very large shareholders in one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world at that time—and their stock was getting crushed in the stock market.”
“So the management team came in to meet us and reassure us.”
“Rumors were trickling out that their new blockbuster drug … that people had died on the trial.”
“The CEO looks at me and he says, ‘in very rare instances, a few people have died.’”
“And then he said—without skipping a beat—‘the bad news is, the FDA is going to make us put a black box warning on our packaging. The good news is, we still think we can do $7 billion in peak sales.’”
“He knew that this drug would kill some people … and we should be happy about it because we’re gonna make a lot of money.”
“I was horrified. I just thought, I’m playing for the wrong team. I’ve gotta get out of here.”
So she left the world of finance to dedicate her life to health freedom.
