MACDONALD: “The Vaccine Schedule” as a Warning

You might be able to pass it off as another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or the progressive knee-jerk reaction that requires them to want the opposite of anything and everything the Trump Administration promotes.

Pregnant women should be careful with Tylenol, as it might affect their unborn baby.

That’s them, so when Secretary Kennedy and CDC and FDA decided to examine the vaccine schedule, the Left lost its mind. It’s only got the one, and there wasn’t much left to lose. How dare you remove even one injection? Forget that we were all healthier when there were a handful instead of scores of them. No point in actual anecdotal evidence. A bunch of scientists who might be getting kickbacks from vaccine makers say the science is sound.

Even if there isn’t any.

You just take your jabs, we know what’s best, but they didn’t understand COVID, and that was a slap in the institutional face, and the jabbernaughts can’t figure out how to get that nasty little genie back in the vaccine bottle.

Dr. Monique Yohanan is a graduate of Dartmouth, Brown, and Johns Hopkins. She’s been part of the system for twenty years, but she has a problem with the politicization of vaccines.

“I feel like there’s a lot of dismissal of MAHA [Make America Healthy Again],” she said. “There’s a lot of dismissal of people who have questions about vaccines. There are people, historically, who framed the vaccine schedule as ‘You’re pro vaccine if you agree to every single vaccine, and that’s that.’ If you get all 27 shots and you shut your mouth and don’t say a word, then you’re a good person.’”

“And God forbid, you might say, ‘Well, I’m OK with my kid getting the shot for measles or for whooping cough, but do I really need the shot for hepatitis B?’”

The vaccine schedule might be two dozen plus nameplates, but over time, it amounts to scores of injections. When NewsGuard took issue with the number of vaccines reported by one of our authors, complete with all sorts of “affirming” evidence, showing their echo-chamber bias was child’s play.

With regard to the number of “Vaccines,” I’ve heard that number go as high as the eighties, and I’d posit (in this context) that any such reference is more accurately described as “recommended vaccine doses.”

If a doctor injects you with something from the vaccine schedule, it is a vaccination regardless of what it is for.

Defaulting to the lower number of diseases vaccinated for would be equally incorrect. Children will receive at least 14 flu shots (recommended) from birth through age 18.

Looking at the 2025 CDC schedule 0-18, recommends at least 50 injections (see also, vaccinations), and that number may be higher. If you count a recommended flu vaccine every year from 1 to 18 and the recommended COVID-19 vaccine every year from 0 to 18, the total reaches 79 separate injections for all diseases listed.

More than the 72 in John Klar’s piece and less than the 80.

I am willing to edit the post to reflect “vaccine doses” and add an asterisk to a disclaimer about the total, using the links above, even if News Guard doesn’t correct its findings or phrasing when evaluating media for truth and honesty in reporting.

Perception is everything, and the Left’s unmoving position on the vaccination schedule is a reflection of left-wing politics. They are like that with everything, and that’s the warning.

There is no other way, and this applies to everything they believe. Even the false notion of choice as regards abortion isn’t a choice. Why else force pregnancy care centers to advertise abortion services, or face legal action backed by the bottomless well of tax dollars tapped by state prosecutors meant to put them out of business?

I keep saying this, but it’s true. You don’t have to love Republicans or Donald Trump, but they will let you live in an imperfect world where you get to decide the things that matter to you, where you keep increasingly more of your hard-earned money to spend on them.

The Modern Democrat party is exactly the opposite. They want more of your money so they can pay the government and its allies to give you fewer choices and more mandates. And when you try to buck their system, they have plenty of resources to make an example of you, including street thugs you probably also paid for to intimidate you back into line.

The Vaccine Schedule is the Democrat party. You have to take it all or else. You take it all, or you are a subversive enemy of the state.
