Today’s offering discusses the recent court ruling by Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy, which as effectively gelded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.)
On 16 March 2026, Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy, of Boston, ruled for the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the CDC, the ACIP group of the CDC (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and other defendants. The lawsuit was brought by a coalition of health organizations, headed by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics.) The Murphy ruling, among other items, enjoined the ACIP group from undertaking its scheduled meeting in March, 2026; it stayed any proposed changes to the CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule, changes that were to have been approved at this meeting; and, nullified all recommendations, directives, and other actions, made by the ACIP group since July 2025. Fierce Pharma covered the ruling here: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/judge-pumps-brakes-rfk-jr-vaccine-overhaul-targering-acip-and-cdc-schedule-revamp, Eric Sagonowsky and Fraiser Kansteiner, 16 March 2026.

Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD, discussed the ruling here: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/more-on-the-judgy-mcjudgefaceacip-situation, “More on Judge Brian E Murphy/ACIP situation”, 21 March 2026. Please see the screenshots, below, from this article:
Yours Truly went to the article (referred to in the post by Dr. Rose), written by an experienced practicing attorney, regarding the Murphy “ruling.” The attorney is Bobbie Anne Flower Cox, Esq. Her article is here: https://brownstone.org/articles/when-judges-go-rogue/, 23 March 2026. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
But wait, there’s more! Judge Murphy, in his “ruling”, also “critiqued” each (then)-member of the ACIP group, finding every one of them “lacking” in what he deemed to be the “amount of expertise” to be making any decisions regarding the CDC vaccination schedule. Please see the screenshots from his “ruling”, below: Page 29 and Page 30:
And then, with even more breathtaking condescension, the following, from Page 31 of the Murphy “ruling”:
It appears that the (then)-members of the ACIP group were supposed to “present evidence” to him that they ARE qualified to sit on the committee? And, if the JUDGE deems their “level of expertise” is “lacking”, that the JUDGE can dismiss such members from the committee? Were the credentials of, for example, (then)-ACIP member Dr. Robert Malone not “good enough” for Judge Murphy? — After all, Dr. Malone discovered how mRNA can be “packaged” into a lipid nanoparticle. And why does it appear that Judge Murphy has a “particular axe to grind” regarding (then)-ACIP member Dr. Retsef Levi?
Back to the Bobbie Anne Cox article. It appears the Judge Murphy was doing all he could to find ways to “legislate from the bench.” Please see below, from Ms. Cox’s article:
Regarding the last point, about the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) having no standing: Guess what? The AAP gets large donations from Big Pharma entities, such as, Pfizer, Moderna, and, Seqirus. The AAP is completely compromised and should never have been a party to this (bogus) lawsuit in the first place. Please see: https://www.aap.org/en/ways-to-give/current-corporate-and-organizational-supporters/, from 10 October 2025:
The AAP is a direct beneficiary of Big Pharma. AAP pediatrician members make significant amounts of income from “vaccinating” children with products manufactured by the Big Pharma entities that give large amounts of money to the AAP. See how the cycle works?
If, as Attorney Cox states, the Murphy “ruling” can be overturned in court, why did HHS apparently choose NOT to fight the “ruling”, opting instead to “reconstitute” the ACIP group? Please see: https://imahealth.substack.com/cp/191534018, “Breaking News: Chairman Milhoan Confirms that ACIP Disbanded in Response to Federal Court Ruling: Sources Indicate Administration Opts to Reconstitute ACIP Rather Than Appeal”, 16 March 2026. A screenshot from this article is below:
In addition, pediatricians receive “financial incentives” from Big Pharma companies and from insurance companies via programs to ensure that children are “vaccinated.” This, despite the denials and “fact-checking” by media and by organizations such as the AAP about such “incentive payments.” In fact, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into these payments given to pediatricians in his state. Please see: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-launches-wide-sweeping-investigation-unlawful-financial-incentives, “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Wide-Sweeping Investigation into Unlawful Financial Incentives Related to Childhood Vaccine Recommendations”, 21 January 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article:
There is yet another aspect to the Murphy “ruling” situation: A combination of conflicting statements, apparent miscommunications, and what appears to be personnel from the Oval Office “taking a more active role” in HHS activities. Please see: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/acip-members-miscommunication-vaccine-panels-future-adds-confusion-after-earlier-upset-court, “ACIP member’s miscommunication on vaccine panel’s future adds to confusion about ruling”, 20 March 2026, Fraiser Kansteiner. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
Note that Yours Truly used the phrase, “appears to be personnel from the Oval Office” related to the HHS situation — the Wall Street Journal cites “unnamed sources.” However, what can be said, with a fair amount of accuracy, is that the HHS (and its CDC and FDA and NIH and NIAID divisions) have been roiling due to the attempts of HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to curtail / stop, the “good old days” in the department. The “good old days” when drugs and “vaccines” were granted EUAs or Full Approval without proper full testing and data analysis; when the CDC “recommended” more and more “vaccines” for children from birth to age 18; when the FDA granted EUAs and Full Approvals for drugs and biologics that were clearly dangerous to patients (VIOXX [pain reliever]; and, Aduhelm [Alzheimer’s disease drug] are cases in point.) What can be said, with a fair amount of accuracy, is that Gain-of-Function experiments in the United States are still being funded by NIH, even though a “ban” on such experiments and funding was declared in 2025 — and, in addition, such experiments are also being conducted by other agencies within the federal government; as, for example, the H5N1 Avian Influenza experiments being conducted at the USDA Southeast Poultry Division facility in Georgia (https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/trump-admin-keeps-ties-to-who-influenza, “Trump Admin Keeps Ties to WHO Influenza System as U.S. Funds Bird Flu Gain-of-Function and Mass Vaccine Programs”, 24 January 2026.)
The following are the opinions of Yours Truly:
What the situation is today: Big Pharma, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Federal Judiciary, are in control of the Department of Health and Human Services. What the situation is today: HHS has opted to “reconstitute” the ACIP group, instead of fighting the Murphy “ruling” in court — in effect, acquiescing to the “ruling.” This acquiescing “kicks the door off the hinges” for any Federal Judge to stop / stay / delay, any directive, recommendation, committee, or activity of that committee, of the HHS, CDC, or FDA.
What the situation is today: Millions of children, from birth to age 18, are at risk for complications of all kinds induced by the multitude of “vaccines” that they are “recommended” to get according to the old CDC Childhood Immunizations Schedules.
What the situation is today: By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on creating a new “food pyramid chart”, along with other “side-bar” programs — which, of themselves, are worthy — but not as important as focusing on completely rooting out any influence of Big Pharma and Establishment Medicine at HHS, he has allowed these entities to manipulate the Federal Judiciary into neutering the entire agency. By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on other programs, he is NOT doing anything substantive regarding completely STOPPING the use of COVID-19 “vaccines” in the United States — arguably, the most dangerous, deadly, and poisonous products ever designed. By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on other programs, he is NOT doing anything substantive regarding bringing those to account for their roles in creating the COVID-19 virus itself, or the COVID-19 “vaccines.”
What the situation is today: Is is more important then ever for all persons (including parents of children from birth up to age 18) to take charge of their health. To question the “why” behind a “recommendation” by a healthcare professional regarding taking any “vaccine”, let alone any drug. To refuse to take any “vaccine”, or to have any “vaccine” put into their children, that the patient (or patient’s parents) do not approve. To fight to have “vaccine liberty” from school boards, employers, and insurance companies that request “compliance” with “recommendations” or “mandates” for “vaccination.”
What the situation is today: Since Big Pharma, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Federal Judiciary are now in control of the Department of Health and Human Services — it is now the responsibility of HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to stop this situation; or, for the current Administration to find someone who will.
What the situation is today: An example of the new “power base” that is in control of HHS / CDC / FDA: Pfizer-BioNTech wants the FDA to approve the company’s new Lyme disease “vaccine” (which appears to be mRNA-based) that it is developing with a French company, Valneva. The “vaccine candidate” is called VLA15. This, despite the fact that the Phase 3 clinical trial for VLA15 did NOT meet its primary outcome goal — which goal was to demonstrate effectiveness. This, despite the fact that the CDC has NOT YET “reconstituted” the ACIP group, which group is SUPPOSED TO RECOMMEND new “vaccines” for authorization or for approval by the FDA. If the FDA does not bow to Pfizer-BioNTech’s request to approve VLA15, what is to stop the company from suing the FDA and, via a Federal Judge (for example, Judge Brian E. Murphy), forcing the agency to approve the “vaccine?” Please see: https://tdefender.substack.com/cp/1921132650, “Pfizer Wants FDA to Approve Its Vaccine for Lyme Disease — But Does It Have a Shot?”, Brenda Baletti, PhD, 25 March 2026.
THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE HUMAN BODY FOR AN mRNA, A modRNA, AN saRNA, OR A taRNA PRODUCT OF ANY KIND, IN ANY FORM.
THERE MUST, FIRST, BE MUCH MORE RESEARCH PERFORMED ON THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND PLATFORMS.
THERE MUST BE, SECOND, EXTENSIVE TESTING OF PRODUCTS USING THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND PLATFORMS, WITH COMPLETE ANALYSES OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY DATA.
ALL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION EXPERIMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, OF ANY KIND, PERFORMED BY ANY DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, MUST BE STOPPED.
