"Vaccinating Children Like Cattle": Aaron Siri Demands ACIP Changes + Dr. Ryan Cole — Ask Dr. Drew

According to the New York Times, attorney Aaron Siri and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. are overhauling the CDC & ACIP vaccine advisory committee. The planned changes include a restructuring of its vaccine charter – incorporating a proposal that "places a heavy emphasis on vaccine safety and includes “recovery from serious vaccine injuries” as among the types of expertise that would qualify someone to be a committee member."

The New York Times reports that Aaron Siri "argued that vaccines that blunt illness but do not prevent infection or transmission do not have an impact more broadly on the population, so individuals should be free to choose for themselves whether they wish to be immunized." He included polio, tetanus, and HPV shots in this category.

Aaron Siri discusses his viral petition and why he wants to end the era of "vaccinating children like cattle." Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole gives an update on his legal battle against the Washington State Medical Commission's attempt to restrict his license. Darrlene Alquiza (CEO of Informed Policy Advocates) breaks down California's SB1377—a crucial new bill designed to return the rights of doctors to write medical exemptions without the draconian oversight of the state health department.
