🚨As ICAN Warned, RSV Vaccine for Pregnant Women May Pose Risks

Three years ago, @ICANdecide sent a letter to the FDA's vaccine advisory committee warning that Pfizer's RSV vaccine for pregnant women, Abrysvo, showed concerning safety signals in its clinical trials, including preeclampsia and fetal distress. The committee ignored the warning and recommended approval.

A new study published in JAMA Network Open, sponsored by Pfizer itself, confirms what ICAN flagged. Pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorders occurred in 17.3 percent of vaccinated women, compared to 13.1 percent in the concurrent comparator group, an adjusted risk increase of up to 29 percent depending on the comparison group used. Premature rupture of membranes was also elevated, along with preterm premature rupture of membranes in the historical comparison.

Even the study's own authors, despite the Pfizer funding, concluded that further studies are needed to refine these risk estimates.

🚨As ICAN Warned, RSV Vaccine for Pregnant Women May Pose Risks

Three years ago, ICAN sent a letter to members of FDA’s vaccine committee warning of the dangers of Pfizer’s RSV pregnancy vaccine, Abrysvo. A recent study supports ICAN’s position that those concerns were warranted.

At the Informed Consent Action Network, you are the authority over your health choices and those of your children.

In a medical world manipulated by advertising and financial interests, true information is hard to find and often harder to understand.

Our goal is to put the power of scientifically researched health information in your hands and to be bold and transparent in doing so, thereby enabling your medical decisions to come from tangible understanding, not medical coercion.

[Aaron Siri @AaronSiriSG]

To make clear how critical this right is, think about it this way: if you cannot go to school, get a job, enter public spaces, or utilize public transportation or commercial airlines if you refuse a medical procedure the government requires, then you basically have no rights. You become a prisoner in your own home, unable to get an education, earn a living, or participate in civil society. That is why the right to choose whether to get a medical procedure, without any coercion, is a fundamental right.

Prevnar 7 was licensed for infants at two, four, and six months of age with no placebo-controlled trial. There was no ethical reason to skip one.

Instead, the control used in the clinical trial was another experimental vaccine, an investigational meningococcal conjugate vaccine that had never been licensed either. A JAMA article authored by FDA scientists acknowledged this approach can mask serious adverse events.

Prevnar 7 then became the control used to license Prevnar 13. In that trial, serious adverse events including death, hospitalization, and permanent disability were reported in 8.2% of Prevnar 13 recipients and 7.2% of Prevnar 7 recipients.

Prevnar 13 then became the control used to license Prevnar 15. Serious adverse events were reported in 9.6% of Prevnar 15 recipients and 8.9% of Prevnar 13 recipients.

The FDA called it safe.

Each generation of this vaccine was tested against the last one, and the last one was never tested against a true placebo.

@AaronSiriSG calls it a pyramid scheme of safety, with a baseline that has never been shown to be safe at all.

In the early 1980s, fewer than 10% of American children had a chronic health condition. Today that number is over 40%, and some data put it above 50%, often with multiple conditions occurring simultaneously. The Make America Healthy Again report identifies four possible contributors: food, forever chemicals, behavior, and over-medicalization.

@AaronSiriSG has a question about that fourth category. Every chronic condition that has exploded, asthma, ADHD, allergies, atopic disease, and the rest, shares a common thread: its root involves immune system dysregulation. Our federal health agencies cannot explain why these conditions have skyrocketed across every religion, racial group, and demographic in the country.

The CDC vaccine schedule on or before a child's first birthday in 1986 included 3 injections. The current schedule includes 29, including injections administered in utero. If you're looking for what might be dysregulating the immune systems of an entire generation of American children, Siri says that's probably where you start.

During the 2025 pertussis outbreak in West Virginia, health authorities used the surge to coerce vaccination and refuse medical exemptions, blaming the unvaccinated.

ICAN filed legal demands for the actual data.

In West Virginia, 71% of pertussis cases were in individuals who were fully up to date on their vaccines.

Looking back across seven years of cases, 68% were vaccinated.

In New York's measles outbreak, 33% of cases had received at least one dose of the MMR vaccine, with another 28% listed as unknown vaccination status.

The narrative and the data are not telling the same story.

🇺🇸🎇250 years ago, a handful of individuals signed their names to a document that said: you know who I am, you know where I live, come and take it.🇺🇸🎇

The Constitution doesn't hand us a list of rights from the government. It limits what the government can do when it comes between us and the rights that are already ours, endowed by God, recognized as inalienable. That's what makes it unlike any governing document in history.

This 4th of July, ask yourself: would our founding fathers be proud? Are we proud? Will we be proud of what we hand to our children?

Be loud. Be proud. Freedom is everything.

🇺🇸🎇Happy 250th, United States of America🇺🇸🎇

No government on earth has ever lasted 250 years on the idea that the people come first. This one has. Not without a fight, and not without people in every generation willing to stand up and mean it.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at The HighWire and @ICANdecide. Freedom is everything, and all of you work each and every day to ensure we keep it.

🚨Moderna's new mRNA flu vaccine reduced absolute influenza risk by 0.8% in trials. In the same trials, 6.4% of recipients suffered severe reactions, five times the rate of the standard flu shot, and five mFlusiva recipients died in the Phase 3 trial compared to one in the standard flu shot group. Cardiac events, including fatal cardiac arrest, were also recorded.

@ICANdecide sent an urgent letter to FDA's advisory committee documenting every one of these concerns before the vote. The committee acknowledged them, then voted unanimously to recommend approval anyway, with a note that further studies should be conducted after the vaccine is already in use.

America's most vulnerable seniors, the population for whom mFlusiva showed no statistically significant efficacy at all, will once again serve as the test group while regulators wait years to determine whether the product is causing harm.

ICAN will be filing FOIA requests for the full clinical trial data if mFlusiva receives final approval from FDA Acting Commissioner Kyle Diamantas.

While VRBPAC voted last week to recommend an updated COVID vaccine formula and the injured remain uncompensated, the CDC just signed $1.55 billion in new contracts with Pfizer and Moderna for adult and pediatric COVID-19 vaccines.

ICAN and @React19org's letter to the CDC details what the agency chose to ignore before signing those contracts.

In Pfizer's own clinical trial, there were 21 deaths in the vaccinated group and 17 in the placebo group during the same period, with more participants in the placebo group.

The FDA's own internal analysis revealed significant safety signals that were hidden from the public. The compensation program has paid out on 0.39% of COVID vaccine injury claims, with an average payout of $5,052.

Five years (!!) after assuring the world these products are safe, the manufacturers still require PREP Act immunity for the very harms they claim won't occur.

The letter also puts the CDC on notice that distributing these vaccines through the Vaccines for Children Program without ACIP approval would constitute a violation of federal law, and demands that the contracts be canceled and funds reallocated to the injured.

Americans are told to “ask your doctor” about prescription drugs after watching TV ads that often spend more time selling the promise than clearly explaining the risks.

@ICANdecide is now pressing the FDA to change that.

In a letter to the agency, ICAN Lead Attorney @AaronSiriSG urged the FDA to require direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertisements to disclose all known risks associated with a drug, biologic, or medical device, not just the major ones selected for the ad.

The request comes as federal officials revisit pharmaceutical advertising standards, but ICAN argues the problem goes deeper than a return to prior rules. If companies are allowed to market medical products directly to patients, ICAN says those ads must fairly and equally disclose the risks along with the benefits.

ICAN also sent proposed revisions to the CDC’s vaccine contraindications and precautions guidance, the page doctors and clinicians rely on when determining whether a patient may qualify for a medical exemption.

The proposed changes would require patients to be screened before each vaccine dose for all absolute and relative contraindications, warnings, and precautions, including those listed in vaccine package inserts and vaccine information statements.

The issue is simple: patients cannot give informed consent if risks are minimized, buried, or left out. Doctors also cannot make proper exemption decisions if federal guidance discourages caution or frames missed vaccination as the greater concern.

ICAN submitted a letter nominating four vaccine ingredients, aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, and phenol, for federal toxicology review by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. All four are present in vaccines on the CDC's recommended childhood schedule. None have ever been evaluated for the specific exposure route they are administered through: injection.

That letter exists because of this community.

The matching donation is live through the end of June. $250,000 has been raised so far against a $1.5 million match. The foundational work being done right now, in courtrooms, in federal agencies, and in the scientific record, is the kind that outlasts any single administration.
