ACIP Vaccine Policies: Betrayal of Public Trust, Conflicts of Interest. Global Impacts of Their Decisions
A Crisis of Credibility: At least now the public can search all COIs and failures to report them at meetings.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a group charged with shaping vaccine policy for the U.S. and beyond, is expected to operate with unwavering integrity. Yet, the CDC’s latest disclosures reveal a pattern of members entangled in pharmaceutical ties while making recommendations that profoundly impact public health. The committee’s failure to fully disclose these conflicts at key decision-making junctures raises grave concerns about the legitimacy of vaccine policies—both domestically and globally.
The Fox Guarding the Henhouse: ACIP’s Self-Policing on Conflicts of Interest
The CDC claims that ACIP members must declare conflicts of interest (COIs) before each meeting and recuse themselves from votes on products linked to their financial or research ties. However, the very structure of this system is built on self-reporting, without independent verification or enforcement. The mere act of abstaining from a vote does not erase the undue influence these relationships have on committee discussions, framing of evidence, and policy recommendations.
Case Studies of Concern
Dr. Yvonne (Bonnie) Maldonado disclosed serving on a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for Pfizer vaccine trials and as a site PI for Pfizer and AstraZeneca trials. Despite these affiliations, she continues to be an influential voice on the committee. How many of her colleagues were swayed by her professional relationships when assessing vaccine safety and efficacy?
Dr. Wilbur Chen, working with MassBiologics (funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), recused himself from a single vote while remaining engaged in deliberations affecting the broader vaccine landscape. The potential for undue influence extends far beyond one abstention.
Dr. Camille Kotton, engaged in clinical trials for Takeda’s antiviral products, repeatedly disclosed her pharmaceutical ties, yet her participation in ACIP discussions remains largely unexamined.
The CDC’s website conveniently only lists members who declared conflicts, leaving a glaring question unanswered: how many members have undisclosed ties that remain hidden from public view?
Conflicted Public Health Decisions with Global Consequences
The CDC’s ACIP does not operate in a vacuum. The vaccine recommendations made in the United States set global precedents, influencing international organizations like the WHO, the GAVI Alliance, and national health agencies worldwide. The stakes are enormous—trillions of dollars in pharmaceutical sales, millions of lives affected by vaccine policies, and the erosion of public trust in medical institutions.
Yet, time and time again, vaccine recommendations have been fast-tracked without the level of scrutiny that an unbiased committee would demand.
Were vaccines like the COVID-19 booster shots recommended based on robust, independent science, or were committee members already too deeply enmeshed in relationships with vaccine manufacturers?
Did the conflicts of interest within ACIP influence the downplaying of adverse events, as seen in post-market surveillance data?
How many committee members have private, undisclosed ties to the very industry they are supposed to regulate?
The Revolving Door Between Regulators and Industry
The pharmaceutical industry’s financial influence is well-documented, with a steady stream of government regulators later accepting high-paying positions in the very companies they once oversaw. This “revolving door” dynamic further erodes confidence in the integrity of ACIP’s recommendations. If an ACIP member makes decisions that favor a particular manufacturer today, what are the chances that they will be rewarded with lucrative consulting or executive roles in the industry tomorrow?
The Call for Accountability
The public deserves more than a veneer of transparency. To restore credibility to vaccine policy, immediate steps must be taken:
Independent Conflict of Interest Audits – An external body should verify all ACIP members’ financial and professional ties, with full public disclosure.
Lifetime Ban on Industry Employment for ACIP Members – Any individual serving on ACIP should be barred from accepting employment or financial benefits from pharmaceutical companies for a minimum of ten years after their tenure.
Complete Recusal from Deliberations, Not Just Votes – ACIP members with any financial or research ties to vaccine manufacturers should be excluded from all related discussions, not merely abstain from the final vote.
Publicly Accessible Full Disclosures – The CDC must publish detailed COI statements for every ACIP member, not just those who choose to disclose.
Conclusion: The High Cost of Corruption
Public health policies should be built on trust, scientific integrity, and transparency. Instead, ACIP’s entanglements with industry call into question every vaccine recommendation issued under its watch. The latest disclosures confirm what many have suspected for years: the system is rigged in favor of pharmaceutical interests, while the public—both in the U.S. and around the world—pays the price.
The time for passive outrage is over. Congress, investigative journalists, and watchdog organizations must demand accountability. The American people, and the global population impacted by these decisions, deserve nothing less.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity
by Michel Chossudovsky
Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.
“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”
Reviews
This is an in-depth resource of great interest if it is the wider perspective you are motivated to understand a little better, the author is very knowledgeable about geopolitics and this comes out in the way Covid is contextualized. —Dr. Mike Yeadon
In this war against humanity in which we find ourselves, in this singular, irregular and massive assault against liberty and the goodness of people, Chossudovsky’s book is a rock upon which to sustain our fight. –Dr. Emanuel Garcia
In fifteen concise science-based chapters, Michel traces the false covid pandemic, explaining how a PCR test, producing up to 97% proven false positives, combined with a relentless 24/7 fear campaign, was able to create a worldwide panic-laden “plandemic”; that this plandemic would never have been possible without the infamous DNA-modifying Polymerase Chain Reaction test – which to this day is being pushed on a majority of innocent people who have no clue. His conclusions are evidenced by renown scientists. —Peter Koenig
Professor Chossudovsky exposes the truth that “there is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables.” In other words, it was not COVID-19 but, rather, the deliberate implementation of the illogical, scientifically baseless lockdowns that caused the shutdown of the global economy. –David Skripac
A reading of Chossudovsky’s book provides a comprehensive lesson in how there is a global coup d’état under way called “The Great Reset” that if not resisted and defeated by freedom loving people everywhere will result in a dystopian future not yet imagined. Pass on this free gift from Professor Chossudovsky before it’s too late. You will not find so much valuable information and analysis in one place. –Edward Curtin
