A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s changes to the childhood vaccine schedule.

US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injunction and invalidated RFK Jr’s key vaccine advisory panel after he replaced all 17 people who previously made the vaccine recommendations.

Judge Murphy’s order comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and several other groups.

CNBC reported:

A federal judge on Monday blocked key parts of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s effort to reshape U.S. vaccine policy, including a move to reduce the number of shots routinely ​recommended for children.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston sided with the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups, which said health regulators had acted unlawfully to carry out Kennedy’s agenda of upending immunization policies and warned the changes will reduce vaccination rates and harm public health.

Vaccine makers have grown increasingly wary of U.S. vaccine policy, including the makers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna. Companies that make other shots on the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule include Merck, Sanofi and GSK.

As Kennedy’s policies have taken hold, pediatricians have faced parents increasingly skeptical about vaccines and medical treatments, while nearly a dozen states have begun considering legal changes that would relax vaccine requirements for school enrollment.

In January, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it will recommend fewer routine vaccines for most American children.

The change follows a directive from Trump in December, who ordered federal health agencies to examine how peer-developed nations structure their childhood immunization schedules and whether the United States has fallen out of step with international best practices.

Thank you, Mr. President. We’re on it. https://t.co/WNaTH73CXB

Under the revised framework, only 11 “consensus vaccines,” those widely recommended across developed nations, will remain universally recommended for all children.

These include vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hib, pneumococcal disease, HPV, and varicella.

Several other vaccines, including influenza, COVID-19, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal disease, will no longer be universally recommended for all children under RFK Jr’s new vaccine schedule.

Instead, they would be administered based on individual risk factors or after consultation between parents and healthcare providers.

A former United States Marine Corps. An intelligence analyst has been indicted by a grand jury in Missouri for transmitting classified national defense information to two individuals, including one in the People’s Republic of China, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday. 

Seth Chambers, 35, was a civilian contractor stationed in Iraq, a role that gave him security clearance to view classified materials at the TOP SECRET level.

He “willfully transmitted SECRET level documents to two separate individuals who were not entitled or authorized to receive it,” the DOJ said.

Chambers allegedly transmitted documents “containing verbatim and near verbatim excerpts from classified U.S. government documents” to one individual in Maryland in December 2022 and to one individual in China in April 2023.

Chambers was arrested and made his first court appearance last week.

He currently faces up to 10 years in prison for each count if convicted.

The DOJ issued the following press release:

This comes after the DOJ announced the arrest of a former US Air Force Pilot for “providing and conspiring to provide defense services to Chinese military pilots without authorization” late last month.

President Trump is signing an executive order this afternoon alongside Vice President JD Vance to establish an anti-fraud task force, according to a White House official. 

Vance is set to lead the task force to investigate welfare fraud in states like Minnesota, California, Massachusetts, and Maine, where migrants are looting billions of dollars from the American taxpayers.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced during his State of the Union Speech last month that Vice President Vance would lead his administration’s “war on fraud.”

I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great Vice President, JD Vance,” Trump announced during his State of the Union while railing against Democratic lawmakers Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and the “Somali pirates, who ransacked Minnesota.”

Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Oz have since announced the Trump Administration is withholding Medicaid funding to Minnesota amid an investigation into the state’s rampant fraud.

“We have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligation seriously to be good stewards of the American people’s tax money,” Vance said last month following his assignment as Trump’s Fraud Czar.

Dr. Oz further blasted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz during the announcement at the White House.

Starmer is all talk and no help.

The US-UK Special Relationship is collapsing under the leadership – if we even call it that – of failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

After refusing to help the US-Israel military conflict against Iran and even failing to allow the use of its airbases, now the leftist Labour party leader is continuing to let his main ally down.

Today (16), it arises that Starmer is refusing to send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after US President Donald J. Trump asked for reinforcements to solve the economic crisis due to high oil prices.

The UK is working with allies on a ‘viable plan’ to open the Strait of Hormuz, says Starmer

The Telegraph reported:

“Britain and other allies were resisting Mr. Trump’s request for a ‘team effort’ as stock markets braced for further chaos on Monday.

[…] [British] Ministers are considering sending mine-hunting drones but are not currently prepared to send any warships, one of which is already at sea, to clear the crucial oil route. Iran has threatened any country that joins a mission against it in the strait.”

STARMER REFUSES TO BACK U.S. IN HORMUZ

Despite rising threats to global shipping, Keir Starmer’s government has refused to commit British warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, even as the United States calls on allies to step up.

An angry Trump questioned whether the UK was still ‘number one ally’, and warned America ‘will remember’ who supported the campaign.

Daily Mail reported:

“The sniping came as Sir Keir had a tense call with Mr. Trump, in which he is believed to have signaled Britain will not obey a request to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz. France, Canada and Australia have also dismissed the prospect.”

The US President linked the response to his demand for ships in the Strait to the future of NATO and support for Ukraine.

“Mr. Trump said: ‘It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there. ‘We have a thing called NATO,’ Trump said. ‘We’ve been very sweet. We didn’t have to help them with Ukraine… but we helped them.

‘Now we’ll see if they help us. Because I’ve long said that we’ll be there for them but they won’t be there for us. And I’m not sure that they’d be there. If there’s no response or if it’s a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO’. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Mr. Trump said: ‘Whether we get support or not… I can say this and I said it to them – we will remember’.”
