🚨 BREAKING: This week the American Academy of Pediatrics — the group that shapes the childhood vaccine schedule — told the country it's "neutral."
Their words: "we go by science, not politics."
So I pulled their tax records. Here's who actually pays them..
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) runs on ~$138 MILLION a year.
Its corporate "partners" — $50,000+ donors — include the vaccine makers themselves:
Pfizer, Merck, Moderna, Sanofi.
Source: their own IRS Form 990
On one AAP COVID-19 vaccine policy, the science outlet Undark found 9 of 16 committee members had taken money from vaccine manufacturers.
The published guideline said: "no potential conflicts."
9 of 16. They wrote "none."
And this isn't unique to the AAP — it's the pattern.
Peer-reviewed, JAMA Internal Medicine (2018): 57% of authors of clinical guidelines for high-revenue drugs had financial ties to the makers — and 1 in 4
payments were undisclosed.
The science documents the conflict of interest.
The AAP doesn't just take the money — it lobbies.
It keeps a full-time, four-person federal lobbying team and reported ~$789,000 in lobbying in a single quarter of 2026.
Ask why a "neutral" group of children's doctors needs its own lobby shop.
Same playbook, different drug.
AAP's 2023 childhood obesity guidelines urged doctors to consider weight-loss drugs for kids. 10 of the authors had taken money from those drug companies.
Disclosed in the guideline? No.
In 2011 the Gates Foundation paid the AAP $1,419,200 — in the Foundation's own words — "to organize and facilitate immunization education and advocacy
efforts among pediatricians."
Paid to advocate.
Why it matters: in 1986, Congress shielded vaccine makers from most lawsuits.
Since then a federal program has paid ~$5.5 BILLION for vaccine injuries (HRSA).
The makers are protected. The group promoting the schedule takes their money.
The question every parent deserves answered: is the group that calls itself "neutral" being paid by the companies that profit from the schedule?
The documents say yes.
If you want the documents mainstream accounts won't show you, follow

I'm a nurse. I bring receipts, not fear.
Haven't seen anyone else mention this, but in addition to an exposed low level center and upper shear with dry air intruding into the storm, the dry air also has some Saharan Dust ahead of Bertha, which also will be an inhibiting factor on the storm!
Hazy skies continue across Acadiana this afternoon.
But when tropical thunderstorms do develop inland, the dust can aid in making for stronger updrafts and downdrafts and increased lightning activity, so something to watch for with our scattered storm chances through Thursday. #lawx #Bertha
Thanks for the support for me becoming an EAC commissioner. But… did you know you have to be confirmed by the senate?
Senator X: “Mr. Keshel, what do you mean when you use the phrase ‘electile dysfunction’ to describe modern elections?”
Me:
“Well, Senator…it’s when you have
-difficulty maintaining an election
-an election lasting longer than four days
-a sudden, severe, and noticeable loss of interest in voting
-government goes soft on corruption
-and finally, in the worst cases, premature inauguration”
The average Social Security recipient gets $1200/mo after working 50+ years.
The average illegal “refugee” gets $3874/month after being in America for 50 minutes.
And that should INFURIATE everyone.
