There are concerns that various vaccine mandates are un-Constitutional:
June 10, 2025
A national coalition of religious and medical liberty organizations urged President Donald Trump to adopt a plan to restore First Amendment rights in four states — New York, California, Connecticut, and Maine — where unconstitutional vaccine mandates continue to deny children of religious families access to education and health care.
The coalition made the request after addressing a letter to members of President Trump’s newly established Religious Liberty Commission (RLC) that has a mandate from the White House to investigate emerging threats to religious liberty and recommend policies to safeguard fundamental religious rights of all Americans.
Among the signatories are Guiding the Impact (which led the effort), Children’s Health Defense, Teachers for Choice, the MAHA Institute, Physicians for Informed Consent, Autism Action Network, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the Global Wellness Forum, and dozens of others. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trump-urged-to-address-unconstitutional-childhood-vaccination-requirements-in-4-states/?utm_source=most_recent&utm_campaign=usa
Yes, most, if not all, vaccine mandates are un-Constitutional. It is just that there are so many actions by federal, state, and local governments that are un-Constitutional, that one should not expect that the courts or the Trump Administration will attempt to deal with most of them. The historical reality is that California used to be one of the best, if not the best, state in the union related to vaccine policy–it is now draconian.
That said, many in the mainstream have been raising alarms about the influence that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK)–the Trump Administration’s Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)..
Notice one of his moves:

By gutting the expert panel that’s advised the government on vaccine policy for more than 60 years, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earned the condemnation of virtually every medical society, as well as former public health officials and local practitioners. …
Kennedy and other Trump health officials’ assertions that ACIP has been a rubber stamp for vaccines have infuriated public health officials, …

RFK Jr sacks entire US vaccine committee
10 June 2025
US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, has removed all 17 members of a committee that issues official government recommendations on immunisations.
Announcing the move in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Kennedy said that conflicts of interest on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (Acip) were responsible for undermining trust in vaccinations.
Kennedy said he wanted to “ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible.”
Doctors and health experts have criticised Kennedy’s longstanding questioning of the safety and efficacy of a number of vaccines, although in his Senate confirmation hearing he said he is “not going to take them away.” …
Kennedy noted that if he did not remove the committee members, President Trump would not have been able to appoint a majority on the panel until 2028.
“The committee has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine,” Kennedy wrote.
He claimed that health authorities and drug companies were responsible for a “crisis of public trust” that some try to explain “by blaming misinformation or antiscience attitudes.”
In the editorial, Kennedy cited examples from the 1990s and 2000s and alleged that conflicts of interest persist.
“Most of ACIP’s members have received substantial funding from pharmaceutical companies, including those marketing vaccines,” he wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
Acip members are required to disclose conflicts of interest, which are posted online, and to recuse themselves from voting on decisions where they may have a conflict.
Dr Brewer said the panel had “one of the most rigorous conflict of interest procedures of any federal committee”. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyge27y2g9o
As far as CDC employees walking out in protest, let me add that they tend to be unwilling to accept science that disagrees with their training and biases. I experienced this in the mid 1990s when I put forth proposals to the CDC. On the one hand, the CDC, overall, concluded that my proposals had significant scientific merit, but on the other hand they basically said they would not consider non-pharmaceutical approaches for immune system support. They carried that bias over into the COVID period.
That said, the mainstream has generally misrepresented RFK on vaccines–as well as overly touted their benefits and understated problems caused by them.
RFK, Jr.’s position seems to be:
- He wants to look at all the data on vaccines, including adverse reactions.
- He wants the ingredients in vaccines to be made public.
- He does not believe that the vaccine industry should be immune from most lawsuits.
- He believes that there are conflicts of interests of many who are on government committees.
- He believes people should decide whether or not to get vaccinated.
- He said he is not an anti-vaxxer.
But the mere fact that he seems to hold the first five views has the mainstream and many medical people scared. RFK says he wants to look at the science, make it available to the public, and let people decide if the benefits exceed the risks. He says wants the truth to be out there for the public.
The Bible warns about those “who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18), which has happened often related to vaccines. Remember the Apostle Paul warned:
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, (1 Timothy 6:10)
Yes, the vaccine/pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession does have a love of money and yes, that, and not always real science, influences their positions. Consider the following:
Back in 2004, Dr. Marcia Angell, a former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, wrote in “The Truth About Drug Companies” that the pharmaceutical industry “has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs.” Her book presents instead a vision of an industry motivated largely by greed. Pretty much every specific outrage critics have identified in Purdue’s behavior appears in Angell’s analysis, including the “jaw-dropping” gifts doctors may receive for prescribing a company’s drugs, the subtle advertisement masquerading as education and the lukewarm, often ineffective protestations by regulatory agencies. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/17/books/review/opioid-abuse-drug-dealer-anna-lembke.html
As far as the mainstream media and vaccines go, the following scripture came to mind:
16 The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly. (Proverbs 26:16)
While I do not agree with all of RFK’s positions, the fact is that he has looked more into the science of vaccines than the vast majority of media writers and commentators. But they either do not want to look at some of the science RFK brings up or they are afraid that reporting the full truth will jeopardize their careers–the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The same is basically true of the 400 North Carolina physicians who signed an anti-RFK letter. The fact is, as a Ph.D. told me 33+ years ago, medical doctors are technicians and not scientists–and that is true for the overwhelming majority of them. That is sad, but true.
The USA spends more on health care than any other nation, yet it is a nation full of unhealthy and obese people. That is something that RFK, Jr. says he wants to try to address.
The mainstream medical profession and media, to a great degree, have failed the American people on matters of health.
Furthermore, how the USA government and most of the media handled COVID was a disaster.
Consider that the amount of USA deaths were greatly increased because of this suppression of truth and providing inadequate information. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was right about a lot of his COVID policy complaints. During COVID, I also read his book, The Real Anthony Fauci. In it, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. explains some errors about COVID policies, mentions treatments that the USA media tended to suppress, and basically reported and documented that Dr. Fauci did not stand for true science, blocks items that do not align with his pharmaceutical and vaccine agenda, uses financial influence to get his way, and that Dr. Fauci has a long history of those types of things. Let me add that having encountered Dr. Fauci’s department in the 1990s, I was disappointed with the lack of real science and concern for health it employed back then.
Related to what is sometimes called science, notice the following:
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: (1 Timothy 6:20, KJV)
20 O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge (1 Timothy 6:20, NKJV)
Yes, many cling to what is falsely called science.
And that is the opinion of many in the scientific community:
June 1, 2015
Those who think science is the measure of all truth might want to check the data first.
Here’s a quote for you: “A lot of what is published [in scientific journals] is incorrect.” Care to guess where those words appeared? Not on a website that questions the “consensus of experts on climate change.” Nor do they appear in a publication associated with intelligent design or other critiques of Neo-Darwinism.
They appeared in the April 11, 2015, issue of the Lancet, the prestigious British medical journal.
The writer, Richard Horton, was quoting a participant at a recent symposium on the “reproducibility and reliability of biomedical research.” Specifically, the symposium discussed one of the “most sensitive issues in science today: the idea that something has gone fundamentally wrong with one of our greatest human creations.”
And he’s referring to scientific research—the research that not only purports to tell us how the world works, but, increasingly, how people should order their lives and societies.
As Horton told Lancet readers, “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”
He continues, “In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world.”
We recently saw an example of this in a story about a much-publicized study purporting to show that voters were likely to change their minds about same-sex marriage if they were visited by gay pollsters who shared their stories with them.
Researchers seeking to reproduce the findings found discrepancies in the data and asked the original researcher for the original data. The researcher was unable to produce the original data. This led the lead researcher to request that the study be withdrawn. Even supporters of same-sex marriage acknowledged that the study and the conclusions drawn from it were fraudulent. http://www.breakpoint.org/bpcommentaries/entry/12/27474?spMailingID=11525872&spUserID=OTQ0MjM5NDU2S0&spJobID=560044991&spReportId=NTYwMDQ0OTkxS0
The actual percentage is probably more than half. A lot more than half.
Similarly, the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, wrote in 2009:
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.
Yes, much put out as health “science” is bought and paid for mainly for corporate and personal profit. It is not scientific truth.
During COVID, the mainstream media repeatedly pushed vain babblings they called science that was supposedly based on knowledge. I was censored by YouTube and Facebook a few times for telling the truth.
There were better and scientifically-supportable solutions that various of us endorsed.
And yes, Republicans and Democrats have been swayed by money from Agriculture, Big Pharma, etc.
As far as what we should eat, the Bible tells people to eat what is good:
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good (Isaiah 55:2).
Do not overeat. Eat what is good.
As far as vaccines go, while they have a place for some, each one should decide whether they are appropriate for themselves and/or their children.
The vaccine situation is complicated, so you should do your own research. Be careful, however, as both pro- and anti-vaxxers are not always forthcoming and have been shown to exaggerate beyond real facts and/or make other inaccurate claims.
The Continuing Church of God cannot make the vaccine decision for you. But can declare that it is not biblically-wrong to get one for the sensible or biblical reasons–even though caution is advised.
“Let each be fully convinced in his own mind” (Romans 14:5).
