Meet the head of a federal panel expected to upend the childhood vaccine schedule later this week. Dr. Kirk Milhoan believes that Covid was made in North Carolina and deployed to China as a bioweapon ... among other conspiracy theories. www.ms.now/news/rfk-jr-...

Trump wants the MMR split. Kennedy rewrote CDC vaccine–autism language. Sen. Ron Johnson says it’s “time to apologize to Dr. Wakefield.”

Across MAHA/MAGA media, the movement has fully adopted the anti-vaxx fiction of Wakefield as a martyr and is elevating him again.

Remember Andrew Wakefield?
Here he is with his friend RFK Jr. in 2020.

Wakefield is the guy behind the fraudulent, retracted MMR–autism study. He lost his medical license for subjecting autistic children to unnecessary invasive procedures.

Now, with Kennedy in power, he’s getting a second act.

The plan: to de-radicalize QAnon folks we’re gonna elect each one to Congress for 5 years.

completely outside of politics, this is so charming

HHS Secretary has made a key component of his tenure ridding the agency of … checking notes … ah yes, conflicts of interest

ASPR’s big emergencies thus far have been self-imposed. In one instance, Knox, after a vaccine-motivated mass shooting, demanded CDC staff meet with him to answer for why an emergency hotline had gone offline for 15 minutes… while terrified staff were sheltering in place.
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Under Knox’s leadership, top scientists have resigned or been forced out, Covid denialists have been brought in, a billion $ in mRNA research funding has been canceled, and the agency is “adrift.” Veteran HHS officials tell me Knox is "out of his league."
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
After ASPR's career chief medical officer resigned in April, Dr. Steven Hatfill, a Covid contrarian, was brought in to replace him. Hatfill supported stockpiling hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and advised on cutting mRNA vaccine funding.
Hatfill was fired over the weekend.
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Online, Knox shared conspiracy theories, promoted ivermectin as a cure-all and posted AIDS and polio - denial videos.
By 2024, he was working for a “disaster chaser,” rebranding himself as a life coach, and writing a book.
Then RFK Jr. put him in charge of ASPR.
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
So who is John Knox?
During the pandemic, he refused the vaccine and to help set up vaccine clinics. He co-founded Firefighters for Freedom, raised $400K, and with Kennedy as his lawyer, sued the city, and became an anti-vaxx hero and regular on podcasts and rallies.
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
RFK Jr. put Knox in charge of ASPR, an agency he doesn’t think much of. In his widely panned, paranoid, (best-selling) book, The Real Anthony Fauci, Kennedy suggested ASPR was a Big Pharma tool that planned the pandemic. Here’s how he describes the ASPR in Trump’s first admin:
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
ASPR preps for & responds to national emergencies: pandemics, terror attacks, natural disasters. But it has no Senate-confirmed leader (or nominee). Under RFK Jr., this is common. More than a third of top roles at HHS are vacant, critics say, by design—to consolidate power.
October 30, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Got a new story about a little-known HHS agency with a massive job: the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
ASPR gave us Operation Warp Speed.
Now it's being run by a conspiracy theorist who calls those vaccines “genocide.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/meet-a...

The political persecution accusation seems natural: Abughazaleh was indicted with 5 others—a group made up of (save one) progressive elected officials, political candidates, and Dem aides. Cat Sharpe, an indicted candidate for Cook County Board and chief of staff to a local alderman said:

Blaxill joins a growing cast of anti-vaccine insiders placed into government roles by Kennedy, including David Geier, Lyn Redwood and Stuart Burns, a former congressional aide who is organizing the HHS Secretary's anti-vaccine crusade.
