Letter to the Editor: Science

Dear editor,
In the January 21, 2026 edition, you posted an article from the Pennsylvania Policy Center. This article was critical of HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and the policy changes that were implemented under his leadership.
It specifically targets changes to vaccination schedules for children and blames the resurgence of measles on this change. The real reason measles cases are increasing is because of the large number of illegal aliens living in the US who were not vaccinated. The changes to the childhood vaccine schedule reflect real science that indicate the large number of childhood vaccines, for diseases that are not prevalent in children, may be the cause of increased autism rates.
There are several studies that indicate there is a correlation between the increase of the number of vaccines given to children at an early age to the increase in autism. These studies were conducted in the UK under their national health association, and in Australia by their national health association. The HHS has started some studies now that you can question the “SCIENCE.” If you can stay awake for the 900 pages of RFK Jr.’s book, you will see many more examples. The worst example of unnecessary vaccines for infants is the Hepatitis C vaccine that is given to six-week-old babies, who are not having unprotected sex or using drugs with shared needles. Needless to say, a Google search will only return the lies that we have been told for years.
The article also targets removing every member of the Vaccine Advisory Committee that approved the mRNA vaccines. The Vaccine Advisory Committee approved the mRNA shots despite evidence that they had serious side effects and they did nothing to prevent the spread of COVID 19. Indeed, they were complicit in blocking the release of the dangers of the mRNA vaccines from the public. This approval did not follow established science which called for extensive testing on both safety and effectiveness and could only be justified in the COVID environment if the public was made aware of the dangers.
