Follow Your Nose

“Follow your nose. It always knows. The flavor of froot.” That’s the old Toucan Sam advertising line.  The Froot Loop branch of the MAHA tree has been flourishing. It seems to have been pretty easy to get Kellogg’s and other food companies to agree to remove some of the artificial colors from their products. Coincidentally, we would call this “low hanging fruit.” Though we acknowledge the health benefit to children especially. We want Secretary Kennedy’s mission for health to succeed, and we recognize the immense, crushing institutional, industry and political pressures he is facing. Imagine if someone else was heading up HHS – someone who actually exists, not a wish list person.

That said, the OG autism vaccine injury community looks forward to our turn. Last week the new and improved ACIP recommended the RSV vaccine for infants and sugarcoated that mercury laced flu shots were to be avoided when and where possible. There aren’t enough decoder rings at the bottom of the cereal box to explain how that fits into MAHA as we see it. 

AofA’s Laura Hayes summed up ACIP as sharply as eating a bowl of Shredded Wheat without milk: (Shared with permission.) 

The results of yesterday’s ACIP meeting: No elimination of any vaccines currently recommended for pregnant women, children, or adults. No required elimination of mercury-laden thimerosal from vaccines, or aluminum for that matter, or any of the other toxic, poisonous, heinous ingredients that comprise each and every vaccine. No recall or withdrawal of any improperly and unethically tested and approved vaccine, which is all of them. No moratorium on vaccines issued, despite known corruption and fraud from manufacture to mandate, and known dangers, including death, disability, chronic illness, and infertility. No declaration that bodily autonomy, parental rights, religious freedom, informed consent, and the ethical practice of medicine cannot take place in the presence of mandates, and therefore, mandates must be eliminated. And it was apparently more important for the panel to discuss the chikungunya vaccine than what happened to your children and mine after their “routine” vaccines. More of the same. Unacceptable. Inexcusable. A travesty.

Then there are the medical wearables. From Secretary Kennedy’s X account, whoever does the writing: Wearables put the power of health back in the hands of the American people.We’re launching one of the largest HHS campaigns in history to encourage their use—so every American can take control of their health, one data point at a time. It’s a key part of our mission to Make America Healthy Again.

Perhaps HHS will enlist Oprah to help distribute them. “You get a tracker! You get a tracker!” Who gets the data? Tracker rhymes with ——.  What if wearables had been required to track Covid vaccine status instead of paper cards? So many nefarious uses. Will there be any guardrails?

So, like the misfits Hermie the wannabe dentist and cast off Rudolph, (whose song my 30 year old has been listening to for days) we will remain independent in our thinking.  Feel free to tell us how you are feeling about what’s happening in just 5 months. It’s remarkable. There is progress. And we won’t punish it. 

Nor will we forget our “raisin” d’etre.

Autism is a man made epidemic, and we finally have a chance to end it.
