Support Thomas. v. Monarez, Civ. Action No. 1:25-cv-02685, District of Columbia District Court, filed August 15, 2025 by Rick Jaffe, Esq. 

Until the CDC proves the full childhood vaccine schedule is safe, every vaccine decision must be made between doctor and family.

For over 20 years, the government's own top scientific advisors have told the CDC to study whether giving 70+ vaccines to children is safe. The CDC's response? Silence—while expanding the schedule and punishing doctors who ask questions."

Why We're Suing

The United States gives more vaccines to children than any other country, yet has never evaluated the safety of its schedule in the form in which it is actually given.

Instead of answering decades of scientific warnings, the CDC continues to issue universal ("Category A") recommendations for more than 70 doses by age 18.

The CDC's universal childhood vaccine recommendations are not supported by cumulative safety evidence, but by the untested assumption that if each vaccine is safe in isolation, the whole schedule must be safe."

States then use these recommendations to build school and daycare requirements—without the foundational safety science in place.

While American children have become the sickest in the developed world—with over 50% suffering chronic conditions, the CDC expands an untested schedule and destroys careers of doctors who question it.

What We're Demanding

1. Suspend all CDC universal childhood vaccine recommendations until rigorous, real-world, cumulative safety studies are completed.

2. Require "shared clinical decision-making" for every childhood vaccine—so that until safety is proven, decisions are made between doctor and family.

3. Protect physicians from retaliation for speaking honestly about patient safety.

Our Legal Strategy

We're not challenging state vaccine laws. We're demanding the federal government provide actual evidence before issuing universal medical recommendations that states then mandate.

This Works Around the World

Seventeen EU countries, the UK, and Japan use shared decision-making for childhood vaccines. Result? 90%+ vaccination rates with healthier children. No coercion needed—just honest information and medical freedom.

Why This Case Matters

• This is not about banning vaccines. It is about demanding real science and real choice. Any family who wants their children fully vaccinated (and that might be most families) will continue to vaccinate their kids. 

• It protects the First Amendment rights of physicians and the informed consent rights of parents.

• It sets a precedent that no universal medical recommendation should exist without cumulative safety evidence.

Our Goal

Until the CDC proves the safety of the entire program, every childhood vaccine should be subject to shared clinical decision-making between doctor and family.
