Arizona Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Blake Masters: ‘Absolutely Insane’ for CDC to Add COVID Shot to Childhood Immunization Schedule

It is “absolutely insane that the CDC is going to add the COVID vaccine to the childhood immunization schedule,” tweeted Arizona GOP U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters Wednesday. “This isn’t about ‘science’ or health.”

The Biden Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted Thursday, 15-0, to add COVID-19 shots to the standard Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, a move that many states and school districts are likely to follow.

The ACIP’s recommended schedule calls for children to begin getting COVID-19 shots when they are 6 months old.

While CDC said the vote itself does not mandate vaccines for children, it will likely influence the policies of individual states in deciding which vaccines are required for attending government-run schools.

“I will always fight for freedom and to protect families and children,” Masters also said. “My opponent, Mark Kelly, is for Big Pharma and medical tyranny.”

In February 2021, Kelly expressed concern too few Arizonans would be willing to get the COVID shots, AZCentral reported.

The Ducey administration, the incumbent Democrat senator said, has “data that says about 50 to 55% of Arizonans are willing to get vaccinated.”

“We need that number to be 75%,” Kelly added. “We’ve got to convince people to show up and get vaccinated and get their families vaccinated when it’s available to them. That’s the only way we’re going to really beat this thing.”

Last week, a top-level Pfizer executive admitted to a European Parliament committee that her company did not even test its COVID shot for whether it could prevent transmission of the virus before it was placed on the market and then mandated in many sectors of countries throughout the world.

The extent to which, in the United States, the Biden administration has collaborated with Big Pharma and Big Tech to push for vaccine compliance has become increasingly apparent as more healthcare leaders who have warned of the safety issues and lack of effectiveness of the mRNA shots have been blocked from social media platforms.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, for example, was blocked by Twitter, and then restored, over last weekend, after he posted his office’s analysis of a study that found “there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.”

“Individuals with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when considering vaccination and discuss with their health care provider,” the guidance states.

“With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group,” the statement continues.

“The State Surgeon General now recommends against the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for males ages 18-39 years old,” the guidance asserts, emphasized in boldface type.

Twitter initially blocked Ladapo’s tweet, saying the information presented in it is “misleading.”
