The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) inadvertently posted information on its website proving that President Donald Trump’s administration and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are right about corporate influences from Big Pharma when it comes to children’s vaccines.

In a lengthy post on X on Tuesday, Kennedy shared a screenshot he said was from AAP’s website, thanking their four top donors for their generous contributions to the organization’s “Corporate Donors to the AAP Friends of Children’s Fund.”

Any guess who those four donors might be? Yup, you guessed it, the website lists the top donors in the Presidential Circle of Donations of $50,000 or more as Merck, Moderna, Pfizer, and Sanofi.

In the screenshot is also a message detailing what these four top donors get for their contributions, and that’s an invitation to a Corporate Summit held each summer at the AAP National Headquarters in Itasca, IL. So, by donating tens of thousands of dollars annually to the AAP, the four major pharmaceutical companies ensure their input at the summit.

And this is exactly what RFK Jr. pointed out in his post, calling into serious question the corporate influence Big Pharma was having on an organization that claims to be “dedicated to the health of children.” 

It follows the pediatric group’s recent recommendation urging that all kids ages 6 months to 23 months get a COVID-19 vaccine. 

“These four companies make virtually every vaccine on the CDC-recommended childhood vaccine schedule,” Kennedy wrote. “AAP is angry that CDC has eliminated corporate influence in decisions over vaccine recommendations and returned CDC to gold-standard science and evidence-based medicine, laser-focused on children’s health.”

“AAP today released its own list of corporate-friendly vaccine recommendations,” he added. “The Trump Administration believes in free speech and AAP has a right to make its case to the American people. But AAP should follow the lead of HHS and disclose conflicts of interest, including its corporate entanglements and those of its journal—Pediatrics—so that Americans may ask whether the AAP’s recommendations reflect public health interest, or are, perhaps, just a pay-to-play scheme to promote commercial ambitions of AAP’s Big Pharma benefactors.”

“AAP should also be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC’s official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act,” Kennedy continued, sending a clear shot across the bow that Big Pharma will not be protected, as they have been.

As he stated, AAP’s recommendation now stands in direct contrast to what the HHS has advised when Kennedy announced the removal of the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immunization schedule, as RedState reported.

The HHS Secretary recently dropped another bombshell, and it had to do with how the mRNA COVID vaccines prolonged the pandemic, RedState reported.

We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted.

In a video posted on X by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Kennedy announced that the science has been reviewed, and it shows that the shots forced on the public by the government to supposedly stop the COVID pandemic actually helped cause the variants and caused the pandemic to go on longer.

Kennedy announced that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, after reviewing 22 mRNA vaccine development investments, began canceling them because, to put it simply, they fail to protect against infections like COVID.
