Funding and Influence in Pediatric Vaccination

This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics,

the group of doctors who

decide what shot your child gets and when, told the public that they

are neutral. And in their own words, they said, "We go by

science, not politics." So parents should have one

simple

question: who funds them? Who's paying them?

And here's that answer, straight from their own tax forms.

This group brings in about 138 million dollars

a year, and some of that money comes from the very companies

that make

vaccines: Pfizer, Merck, Moderna,

Sanofi. You can join their partner club by writing

a

check for $50,000, because that's what the drug companies

did.

The rule for any doctor's group is this easy: if a company paid

you, you have to say so. But a science magazine called

Undark did a little check on one of their vaccine

committees. 16 people wrote the rules.

Nine of them had taken money from vaccine companies.

And the paper that they put out said, and I'm quoting, "No

conflicts."

Nine out of 16 people took money from drug companies, and there

was no conflicts of interest? Doctor in charge of that group had taken

almost $17,000 from Pfizer. He didn't

mention it, though. And the person who runs the Academy of

Pediatrics makes over $700,000 a year.

This is not a little volunteer club.

This is a big business. And they don't just take money,

they spend it.

They pay a full team in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress.

In just three months this year, they spent over $800,000 doing

it. Well, ask yourself this as a parent: does a neutral group of children's

doctors really need its own lobbying

operation? And this keeps happening.

In 2023, they told doctors to start thinking about

children's

weight loss drugs. 10 of the people who wrote

that had taken money

from those drug companies, and again, they didn't tell you.

Here's another thing that really stopped me.

The Gates Foundation, years ago, paid this group over a

million dollars. For what, you might ask?

And this is in their own words, "To promote vaccinations among

pediatricians." They were paid to promote it, and this

is all on Gates' own

website. You can go look at this yourself.

Since then, a government fund has paid out about five

and a half billion dollars to families who have been

vaccine-injured. So the companies are protected, and the

group that's promoting the shots takes the company's money.

And none of this is my opinion. This is all public tax records.

Gates' check is public. That magazine is public.

You can read every bit of it yourself, and I really encourage you to.

Go look up the Academy's tax form. It's called a Form 990.

And just read a list of who pays them.

Send this to another parent who still believes that the shot schedule was

written with people who have nothing to gain from it.
