Ted Nugent stands against vaccine
The video had caption which read: “RFK Jr. WAS RIGHT! Daily data is reveling the dangers of the mRNA C-vid shots. Most recently, a 51 million-person study found the shots INCREASE risk of respiratory infections by up to 559%! Woody nailed this pov!”
Ted Nugent called it the “real pandemic.”
It has also come to light that the chair of a federal vaccine advisory committee, who is known for being a vaccine critic, will be taking on an official role within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as announced on Monday.
HHS confirmed that Martin Kulldorff has been appointed as the chief science officer for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). Kulldorff, a Swedish biostatistician, previously served as the chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this year. His appointment follows HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to overhaul the entire committee, replacing it with many known vaccine skeptics and critics.
Kulldorff formerly taught at Harvard University’s medical school until he was fired in 2024 for what he claimed was his refusal to receive the vaccine owing to the pandemic. He was also an author of the “Great Barrington Declaration,” which called for promoting herd immunity early on in the pandemic by allowing the virus to spread unmitigated.
“Martin Kulldorff transformed ACIP from a rubber stamp into a committee that delivers gold-standard science for the American people,” Kennedy said in a statement. “I’m glad to welcome him to my team to help develop bold, evidence-based policies to Make America Healthy Again.”
