This is not the REMOVAL of the COVID jabs that we are all hoping for, but, for those who missed it, at least it's a clear step in the right direction.

The percentage of people, including children, who were still getting these "vaccines" (see below) as of early 2025 is horrifying.

October 6, 2025 - 4:23 pm

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has abruptly walked back its years-long push for universal Covid “vaccination,” announcing that the injections should be a choice for each individual.

The announcement is a stunning reversal that comes after mounting evidence of weak effectiveness and serious safety concerns.

In a major shift, the agency no longer broadly recommends Covid shots for the general population.

Instead, it now says that each person should weigh the risks and benefits with their doctor before making a decision.

“Informed consent is back,” said CDC Acting Director Jim O’Neill in a Monday statement after accepting the recommendation of the agency’s vaccine advisory panel.

O’Neill admitted that the CDC’s 2022 blanket booster push “deterred health care providers from talking about the risks and benefits of vaccination for the individual patient or parent.

“That changes today,” he declared.

‘Shared Clinical Decision-Making’

The new approach is described as “shared clinical decision-making,” meaning vaccination is no longer a one-size-fits-all directive.

Instead, it is supposed to be determined on a case-by-case basis between doctor and patient.

The CDC’s website confirms the shift:

“Shared clinical decision-making recommendations are individually based and informed by a decision process between the health care provider and the patient or parent/guardian.”

This marks a stark departure from the CDC’s years-long policy of recommending that virtually everyone, from infants as young as 6 months to the elderly, receive Covid shots and “boosters” on an annual basis.

Vaccine Fatigue and Alarming Data

The reversal follows plummeting uptake.

Only 44% of seniors got a COVID shot in late 2024 or early 2025, CDC data shows.

Just 14% of adults aged 18–49, 13% of children, and 10% of healthcare workers rolled up their sleeves during that time.

Even the agency’s own vaccine advisory panel admitted the science no longer holds up.

“At best, the additional protection provided by a seasonal booster is moderate and of short-term,” said Retsef Levi, chair of the CDC’s Covid “immunization” workgroup, during the September meeting.

Panel members also acknowledged growing concern over vaccine side effects, including myocarditis, a dangerous form of heart inflammation that has been documented in young people after the mRNA shots.

FDA Pulls Back, Too

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently withdrew emergency authorization for the shots altogether, narrowing approval to high-risk groups and people 65 and older.

Four Covid vaccines remain available in the U.S.: two from Moderna, one from Pfizer-BioNTech, and one from Novavax.

But unlike before, the shots are no longer recommended across the board.

Cracks in the Narrative

The Biden-era push to vaccinate virtually every American is unraveling.

Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the government already stopped recommending the shots for healthy children and pregnant women back in May.

Still, some outside groups, like the American Academy of Pediatrics, are clinging to the old narrative, urging parents to vaccinate all children under two years old, despite the CDC itself backing away.

The CDC’s stunning reversal signals what critics have warned for years: the universal Covid vaccination campaign was built on shaky ground.

Now, after years of silencing dissent and insisting the shots were “safe and effective,” health officials are quietly conceding that blanket recommendations were unjustified.

For millions who were pressured into taking the experimental injections, the shift raises even more disturbing questions:

Why did it take this long and how many lives have been upended in the meantime?
