Two physicians sue CDC over 'aggressive' child vaccine program

The doctors also highlighted that vaccine recommendations from the CDC often become state law, even if there's little cumulative research to back up the recommendations.

Two physicians recently sued the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its director, Susan Monarez, over its childhood immunization schedule, which they claimed is “the most aggressive vaccination program in the world.”

The doctors, who filed the lawsuit late last week, claimed they recently had their medical licenses suspended and revoked for declining to endorse the CDC's childhood vaccination program. 

The physicians asked the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. to declare CDC's vaccine practices unconstitutional, loosen its vaccine requirements for children, and force the agency to do further research on the vaccines, per Bloomberg Law.

"[The vaccine framework] is only based on an evaluation of short-term individual vaccine risks,” the lawsuit reads. “The CDC has never studied the combined effects and the accumulating dangers of administering all of the vaccines on the CDC’s recommended childhood vaccination schedule.”

The doctors also highlighted that vaccine recommendations from the CDC often become state law, even if there's little cumulative research to back up the recommendations. 

Dr. Peter McCullough from The Wellness Company appeared to support the lawsuit in an appearance on Monday's "Just The News, No Noise" TV show, highlighting how parents are now concerned about "neuropsychiatric diseases" that can arise from the combination of vaccines.

"Being exempt from childhood vaccines is a contentious issue from state to state, and unfortunately, the states take the CDC guidance and they make it into state law," McCullough said. "In some states [they make it] very rigid recommendations and requirements for kids to go to school. 

"Well, these two doctors are trying to break all of that up," he continued. "No vaccine is without risks, and the CDC guidance doesn't take into consideration, you know, more subtle degrees of immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, previous intolerance to vaccines, a sort of anaphylactic reactions and sibling reactions. Now parents concern regarding chronic allergic diseases and neuropsychiatric diseases that may arise from a combination of vaccinations."

McCullough also said recent trendlines have shown that some healthy children who are unvaccinated have better "health metrics" than vaccinated children because vaccines are being given for diseases that have not been "widely prevalent" in childhood populations for years. 

The doctor added that children are also being vaccinated for illnesses that can be treated with antibiotics.

"What's been learned is that parents have caught onto this, and for a healthy child born today, many are choosing to go completely unvaccinated, keep the child healthy," he said. "I think where we're moving to is, instead of one size fits all, vaccination for every child the same way, we're moving towards risk stratification and much more parental choice in what's going on. Honestly, I think it's going to be better for everybody."
