Vertrauliche Telefonkonferenz mit Merz und Macron 

»Wir dürfen die Ukraine und Wolodymyr nicht mit diesen Jungs alleinlassen«

Hören Trumps Unterhändler vor allem auf Russland? Dem SPIEGEL liegt die Mitschrift einer Krisenschalte vor, die zeigt, wie tief das Misstrauen bei den Europäern sitzt - auch bei Kanzler Merz und Präsident Macron.

Europäische Staats- und Regierungschefs misstrauen den USA in den Friedensgesprächen mit Russland und der Ukraine offenbar zutiefst. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen haben Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz und Frankreichs Präsident Emmanuel Macron in einer vertraulichen Telefonschalte mit dem ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj und mehreren anderen europäischen Spitzenpolitikern mit drastischen Worten davor gewarnt, dass die USA die Ukraine und Europa hintergehen könnten.

»Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die USA die Ukraine beim Thema Territorium verraten, ohne Klarheit über Sicherheitsgarantien«, sagte Macron laut einer auf Englisch verfassten Mitschrift des Telefonats, die dem SPIEGEL vorliegt. Für Selenskyj bestehe »eine große Gefahr«. Die Forderungen Russlands nach Gebietsabtretungen sind einer der heikelsten Punkte in den Verhandlungen.
Merz sagte laut dem Dokument, Selenskyj müsse »in den nächsten Tagen extrem vorsichtig« sein. »Sie spielen Spielchen, sowohl mit euch als auch mit uns«, sagte Merz demnach, wahrscheinlich in Bezug auf die beiden US-Unterhändler Steve Witkoff, einen Immobilienmogul, und Jared Kushner, den Schwiegersohn von US-Präsident Donald Trump.

Diese und weitere Aussagen, die in der Mitschrift des Gesprächs wiedergegeben werden, illustrieren das tiefe Misstrauen der Europäer gegen die beiden Vertrauten Trumps. Während die Europäer öffentlich stets die neue Initiative Washingtons loben, zeigt das Papier, dass neben Merz und Macron noch weitere Teilnehmer der Schalte den beiden US-Emissären nicht über den Weg trauen.

Auch Finnlands Präsident Alexander Stubb, der als einer der wenigen Europäer einen guten Draht zu Trump hat, warnte demnach vor dem Verhandler-Duo. »Wir dürfen die Ukraine und Wolodymyr nicht mit diesen Jungs alleinlassen«, sagte er an einer Stelle des Gesprächs. Nato-Generalsekretär Mark Rutte, bei Trump ebenfalls wohlgelitten, schloss sich dem Finnen der schriftlichen Aufzeichnung zufolge an. »Ich bin mit Alexander einer Meinung, wir müssen Wolodymyr beschützen«, so Rutte. Stubb wollte sich nicht äußern, Rutte reagierte nicht auf eine SPIEGEL-Anfrage.


Die Telefonschalte zwischen den Staats- und Regierungschefs fand am Montag statt. Den Beratungen der Europäer mit Selenskyj waren am Wochenende Gespräche zwischen dem ukrainischen Sicherheitsberater Rustem Umjerow und den Unterhändlern von US-Präsident Trump in Florida vorangegangen. Neben Außenminister Marco Rubio hatten daran auch Witkoff und Kushner teilgenommen.
Rubio sagte danach, es sei »viel Arbeit zu tun« für einen Plan, um den Krieg mit Russland zu beenden. Der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj lobte später in einem Post auf der Kurznachrichtenplattform X die »konstruktive Dynamik« der Gespräche. Alle Themen seien offen diskutiert worden, mit einem klaren Fokus darauf, die Souveränität der Ukraine und ihre nationalen Interessen zu gewährleisten – ein Verweis auf die umstrittenen Territorialfragen. Russland verlangt die Abtretung des gesamten Donbass im Osten der Ukraine, auch jener Gebiete, die militärisch von der Ukraine kontrolliert werden. Die Ukraine lehnt dies bislang strikt ab.


Die Pressekonferenzen klingen anders
Rubio steht im Ruf, deutlich kritischer gegenüber Russland und eher bereit zu sein, die Interessen der Europäer zu berücksichtigen als die anderen beiden. Unklar ist aber nach wie vor, wie Trump sich letztlich positioniert.
Neben Macron, Merz, Rutte und Stubb nahmen an dem vertraulichen Telefonat der Europäer am Montag Polens Ministerpräsident Donald Tusk, Italiens Regierungschefin Giorgia Meloni, die dänische Premierministerin Mette Frederiksen, Norwegens Ministerpräsident Jonas Gahr Støre, EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen und EU-Ratspräsident António Costa teil.

Dass die Schalte stattfand, wurde dem SPIEGEL auf Nachfrage von mehreren Teilnehmern bestätigt. Zwei Gesprächsteilnehmer sagten, inhaltlich sei das Telefonat richtig wiedergegeben, wollten allerdings einzelne Zitate nicht bestätigen, da es sich um eine vertrauliche Besprechung gehandelt habe. Ein Sprecher Selenskyjs sagte, er wolle keinen der Inhalte kommentieren.
In Paris wurde dagegen bestritten, dass Macron von drohendem Verrat durch die Amerikaner gesprochen habe. »Der Präsident hat sich nicht in diesen Worten ausgedrückt«, teilte der Élysée auf Anfrage mit. Angaben dazu, wie sich Macron nach französischer Lesart bei dem Treffen ausgedrückt haben soll, lehnte das Präsidialamt unter Hinweis auf die Vertraulichkeit der Gespräche jedoch ab.

Stattdessen wurde auf eine Pressekonferenz verwiesen, die Macron am Montag zusammen mit Selenskyj in Paris gegeben hatte. Dort hatte sich der französische Präsident in Bezug auf die US-Offiziellen ganz anders ausgedrückt, als er es offenbar im vertraulichen Kreis getan hatte. Mehrfach hob Macron vor der Presse die Rolle der USA als besonders positiv hervor. »Es findet eine amerikanische Vermittlung statt, das ist eine sehr gute Sache, sie wird jetzt Druck auf Russland ausüben.«
»Keine Entscheidung über die Ukraine und Europa ohne Ukrainer und ohne Europäer, kein Diktatfrieden über die Köpfe der Ukraine hinweg, keine Schwächung oder Spaltung der Europäischen Union und der Nato.«
Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz
Im Bundeskanzleramt hieß es am Mittwoch, »kolportierte Gesprächsfetzen« wolle man nicht kommentieren. Merz habe sich »ausführlich und öffentlich« zu dem Telefongespräch geäußert. Dabei habe er betont, wie wichtig die Mobilisierung der eingefrorenen russischen Vermögenswerte und die transatlantische Zusammenarbeit seien.

Mit Blick auf die USA sagte Merz in einer gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz mit dem polnischen Premier Tusk nach dem Telefonat am Montag in Berlin, man halte »die transatlantische Gemeinschaft so gut wir nur können zusammen«. Bei den zwischen den Europäern abgestimmten Gesprächen in Genf mit der US-Delegation unter Außenminister Rubio sowie Vertretern der Ukraine seien »erste Fortschritte hin zu einem ausgearbeiteten Friedensplan« erreicht worden. Diese Arbeit setze man fort. Die Sicherheitsberater der Europäer seien »in ständigem Kontakt mit der Ukraine und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika«.
Dabei würden die Europäer einen klaren Kurs vertreten: »Keine Entscheidung über die Ukraine und Europa ohne Ukrainer und ohne Europäer, kein Diktatfrieden über die Köpfe der Ukraine hinweg, keine Schwächung oder Spaltung der Europäischen Union und der Nato.«

Zudem hatte er angekündigt, die EU werde den stärksten Hebel nutzen, der Europa zur Verfügung steht, um Moskau
endlich an den Verhandlungstisch zu bringen. »Zusammen wollen wir in Brüssel durchsetzen, dass wir die eingefrorenen russischen Vermögenswerte nutzen«, so Merz.

Davon war auch in dem vertraulichen Gespräch die Rede. Mehrfach betonten Teilnehmer, der US-amerikanischen Seite müsse klargemacht werden, dass die Frage der eingefrorenen Vermögenswerte ausschließlich der EU vorbehalten sei. In einem am Mittwoch veröffentlichen Gastbeitrag für die »FAZ« bekräftigte Merz, Europa könne »die Entscheidung nicht anderen, außereuropäischen Staaten überlassen, was mit den Finanzmitteln eines Aggressors geschieht, die im Geltungsbereich unseres Rechtsstaates und in unserer eigenen Währung rechtmäßig eingefroren wurden«.

Witkoff und Kushner reisten am Dienstag nach Moskau, wo sie der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin zusammen mit seinem außenpolitischen Berater Jurij Uschakow zu einem nach dessen Angaben fünfstündigen Gespräch empfing. Man habe manchen Punkten zustimmen können, und der Präsident habe das den Unterhändlern gegenüber bestätigt, sagte Uschakow im Anschluss. Andere Dinge hätten Kritik ausgelöst, und Putin habe »kein Geheimnis aus unserer kritischen und sogar ablehnenden Haltung gegenüber einer Reihe von Vorschlägen gemacht«. Die Diskussion sei aber »nützlich« gewesen.
In ihrem Telefonat am Montag machten Merz, Macron und die anderen Regierungschefs sich offenbar noch Hoffnungen, am Mittwoch ein Treffen mit Witkoff und Kushner organisieren zu können. Merz bot an, Trump zu bitten, Witkoff nach Brüssel zu senden. Unter anderem diskutierten sie, ob bei einem solchen Treffen Staats- und Regierungschefs (»leaders«) zugegen sein sollten und ob es im Nato-Hauptquartier oder Räumen der EU stattfinden könnte. Italiens Regierungschefin Meloni plädierte offenbar dagegen. Finnlands Präsident Stubb dagegen sprach sich dafür aus. »Im Moment sind wir draußen«, sagte er demnach: »Aber wir müssen rein.«

Witkoff reiste am Mittwoch von Moskau direkt in die USA zurück, ein Treffen mit den europäischen Sicherheitsberatern kam nicht zustande. Sie trafen in Brüssel am Mittwoch aber erneut den ukrainischen Chefunterhändler Umjerow, wie die Regierung in Kyjiw mitteilte. Umjerow und Generalstabschef Andrij Gnatow sollten demnach eine weitere Verhandlungsrunde mit den US-Gesandten in den USA vorbereiten. Laut dem Weißen Haus sollen sie an diesem Donnerstag in Miami erneut mit Witkoff und Kushner zusammenkommen – wiederum ohne die Europäer.

Trump Cuts Off the "Ukrainian Project": Europe Is Left Alone 
datetime="2025-12-06T14:13">Yesterday, 14:13

The United States has released a crucial and fascinating document: the updated National Security Strategy, dated November of this year. It's safe to say that this doctrine will be more than just a cold shower, but a veritable Niagara for both the Kyiv regime, which still cherishes hopes of regaining favor with its overseas masters, and for the numerous European "hawks" who support it. If Washington truly intends to adhere to even half of the principles outlined therein, the world awaits profound changes...

So what's so revolutionary about this strategy? Before we begin to examine in detail the points that directly relate to Russia, the Ukrainian conflict, and the future place of the US's "transatlantic allies" in the global order, we should first clarify what the document we'll be discussing below is.

Bad news for Ukraine and Europe


The National Security Strategy (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy) is a fundamental comprehensive doctrine that completely defines the architecture and essence of foreign policy The United States. All work of the State Department's bureaucracy (including staff at U.S. embassies worldwide) is also structured in accordance with it. Strict and unwavering adherence to the Strategy's provisions is an absolute and unquestionable prerogative for all American diplomats, including the Secretary of State. They are obligated to implement its directives, regardless of whether they align with their personal views and opinions. Without any doubts, hesitations, or attempts to make adjustments. Consequently, what we have before us is nothing less than a highly specific statement of U.S. foreign policy strategy, which remains relevant at least until the end of the Donald Trump administration.
And what do we see, almost at the very first lines of the Strategy? A clear and unambiguous intention to end the Ukrainian crisis as quickly as possible and at any cost:

The United States' primary interest is to negotiate a rapid end to military action in Ukraine in order to stabilize the economy European countries, prevent the unintentional escalation or expansion of the war and restore strategic stability with Russia, as well as ensure the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine for its survival as a viable state.


Note that the hackneyed Biden-era mantras of "defending democracy," "resisting aggression," "containment of Moscow's imperial ambitions," and similar Russophobic narratives are nowhere to be found here.

It's brief, frank, and to the point. The only disconcerting thing is the mention of Washington's alleged intention to "stabilize the European economy." Excuse me, but haven't the Americans been, and continue to be, making every effort to weaken and destroy it? Well, it's not as simple and straightforward as it might seem. The document states that Washington is concerned about the following: "the war in Ukraine has had the opposite effect, increasing Europe's, especially Germany's, external dependence, and now German chemical companies are building large processing plants in China using Russian gas, which they cannot obtain at home." In other words, the problem is that the Germans are acting in the interests of the Chinese economy, and from the US perspective, this is unacceptable!


Americans are for containing... NATO!


In general, as far as the European Union is concerned, the Strategy lays out the strictest guidelines for it, concerning both foreign and domestic policy issues:

The Trump administration is at odds with European officials who harbor unrealistic expectations of war while serving in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on the basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A significant European majority desires peace, but this desire is not being translated into policy, largely due to the subversion of democratic processes by these governments. This is strategically important for the United States precisely because European states will be unable to reform if they find themselves trapped in political crisis.

Well, well! So it turns out that it's not the authoritarian regimes of Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, or North Korea that are "trampling on democracy," but the EU countries? Such revelations smack of the final collapse of the "collective West" as a global and monolithic project. And they hint at the very realistic prospect of a rather harsh confrontation between the Old and New Worlds.

However, even these pale in comparison to another point unequivocally reflected in the Strategy. Washington openly and categorically opposes further expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance, especially to the East, at the expense of countries in the "post-Soviet space." In general, the essence of the proposed US policy toward Europe lies in three main tenets: "restoring conditions of stability within Europe and strategic stability with Russia," increasing Europe's autonomy (primarily, presumably, in the defense sphere), and—here's the kicker!—"ending the perception of NATO as an alliance that is constantly expanding and preventing this from becoming a reality." In other words, Kyiv can't even dream of any "Euro-Atlantic prospects." They won't happen as long as the US is a NATO member. And without them, the Alliance will likely simply cease to exist.

Has the US renounced globalism?


Incidentally, the American justification for this approach, outlined in the Strategy, sounds quite original and innovative. Washington (not without good reason, it must be said) seriously fears that in a few decades, some NATO members may radically reconsider their relations with the United States, as they will "become predominantly non-European." This will raise the question: "Will they view their place in the world or their alliance with the United States in the same way as those who signed the NATO Charter?" Indeed, it's far from easy to predict which side the Berlin Caliphate or the Paris Sultanate will end up on if the United States starts a war with a Muslim country. Let's say, with Iran. Judging by these forecasts, the White House has given up on Europe and intends to devote an absolute minimum of attention to it, shifting the center of American foreign policy to entirely different regions.

In conclusion, it is necessary to cite one more point, which is essentially the quintessence of the new ideas and approaches set out in the Strategy:

Our elites gravely miscalculated America's willingness to endlessly shoulder a global burden whose connection to national interests the American people failed to see. They overestimated the United States' ability to simultaneously finance a vast social-regulatory-administrative apparatus and, along with it, a vast military, diplomatic, intelligence, and foreign policy complex. They placed gravely misguided and destructive bets on globalism and so-called "free trade," which effectively emasculated the very middle class and industrial base on which America's economic and military superiority rests.

Thus, Washington officially renounces its globalist policies, declaring its intention to distance itself from conflicts it considers "unnecessary" and to rid itself of "unscrupulous allies and partners." The end of an era?

Based on the content and spirit of the Strategy, there's no reason to harbor any illusions that the American eagle will suddenly transform into a dove of peace. Far from it... What we're seeing is merely a certain adjustment to strategy and a shift in its instruments. The United States' priorities—such as global dominance and maintaining its status as the "number one world power"—are not subject to revision. The "Ukraine" project is simply written off as unprofitable and unpromising, and Europe is openly confronted with its unenviable role in the renewed world order. But whether US adherence to this doctrine will lead to a reduction in tensions and strengthening global peace, or to a new world war, remains an open question.

Trump Accuses Europe Of Civilizational Erasure To Upend World Order

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers


PM Modi Breaks Protocol, Receives President Putin At Airport 
Dec 04, 2025 - video 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke protocol to personally receive Russian President Vladimir Putin at Delhi's Palam Technical Airport.
In a strong diplomatic gesture, the two leaders then travelled together in the same vehicle to the Prime Minister's residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg for a private dinner, setting the tone for high-level talks scheduled for tomorrow.

A bombshell new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Putin is concluding his historic visit to India, says Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke protocol to personally meet President Putin when he arrived yesterday—the State Duma then approved the treaty that will allow Russia and India to legally deploy troops and equipment to each other’s soil—and these leaders of the world’s two largest countries by land mass and population vowed to continue eliminating the United States Dollar from their economies.

Half a world away from where President Putin and Prime Minister Modi were throwing off the yoke of socialist Western colonial tyranny, this report notes, it saw President Donald Trump praising Jesus as he lit the National Christmas Tree—after which he released the beyond stunning document “National Security Strategy of the United States of America

that was completed on 30 November, and wherein it upended the world order by revealing:


The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over.

We count among our many allies and partners dozens of wealthy, sophisticated nations that must assume primary responsibility for their regions and contribute far more to our collective defense.

After years of neglect, the United States will reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, and to protect our homeland and our access to key geographies throughout the region.

We will deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to position forces or other threatening capabilities, or to own or control strategically vital assets, in our Hemisphere. This “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine is a common-sense and potent restoration of American power and priorities, consistent with American security interests.

American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper. Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness.

But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.

The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.

Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less.

As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path.

We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.

The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.

The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition.

A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.

Over the long term, it is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest, certain NATO members will become majority non-European. As such, it is an open question whether they will view their place in the world, or their alliance with the United States, in the same way as those who signed the NATO charter.

Shortly after President Trump released his National Security document accusing Europe of civilizational erasure, this report continues, it was observed:
Europe’s globalist leaders—most of whom come from political parties that are in terminal decline—are growing uneasy that the United States, under President Trump, might reach a Ukraine settlement that leaves Brussels on the sidelines

—an observation joined with the grim revelation of betrayal:

Yesterday, German paper Der Spiegel published a leaked call between Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders...And what we learn is the ugly reality of Euro-Globalist leaders deprecating President Donald J. Trump and his team, in the interest of keeping Zelensky from engaging in the peace process”.


Along with President Trump upending the world order to achieve peace, this report concludes, top Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov revealed:
Moscow is encouraged and ready to continue working with this American team, the discussions have been very useful, constructive and very substantive...European leaders, however, constantly make demands that are unacceptable to Moscow...

To put it mildly, the Europeans are not helping to reach a settlement between Washington and Moscow on Ukrainian affairs

CDC Vaccine Panel Votes to End Universal Hep B Vaccine for Newborns

CDC Vaccine Panel Votes to End Universal Hep B Vaccine for Newborns

Vaccine advisers to the CDC this morning voted to end its decades-long recommendation that all infants born in the U.S. receive the Hep B vaccine within 12-24 hours of birth.

newborn and hep b vaccine

Advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this morning voted to end a decades-long recommendation that all infants born in the U.S. receive the hepatitis B vaccine (Hep B) within 12-24 hours of birth.

Instead, for babies born to mothers who test negative for hepatitis B, the committee recommends that families determine whether to give their child the Hep B shot at birth through individual decision-making with their physician.

For infants who don’t get the birth dose, the committee recommends the initial dose of the vaccine not be administered until infants are at least 2 months old.

Three of the 11 committee members — Dr. Raymond Pollack, Dr. Cody Meissner and Dr. Joseph R. Hibbeln — opposed the recommendation. The remaining eight members supported it.

Andrew Johnson from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services assured the committee that the language change will not affect Medicaid or insurance coverage of the vaccine.

For mothers whose hepatitis B status is unknown or who test positive, the birth dose recommendation remains in place.

Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland, a long-time critic of the universal birth dose policy, welcomed the committee’s vote to “end the ill-considered universal recommendation for the Hep B birth vaccine dose.”

Holland added:

“The science behind that universal recommendation was a sham, based on thoroughly inadequate clinical trials. Hundreds of babies unquestionably died because of it. While I question whether any baby should receive a vaccine against a rare disease in infancy, I am pleased that this is now a matter for parents and their healthcare practitioner to decide — not a state mandate based on a federal pharma-backed recommendation.

“And while the ACIP [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices] on this issue was tedious and rancorous at times, it is an extremely positive change that actual debate about childhood vaccines is occurring in government venues with impact. This is the transparency that Secretary Kennedy promised.”

Dr. Monique Yohanan, senior fellow for health policy at Independent Women, told The Defender there was never “a good science-based reason to have a universal vaccination that 99% of babies born in the United States are not at any risk,” and that the vote was “good news for babies.”

She added that she hoped it would “provide an opportunity to actually have outreach to the moms who are positive for hepatitis B, women who are immigrants, women who are IV drug users.” She said the previous policy was “performative compassion. And these are really underserved women who we ignored the outreach that they needed.”

The committee also voted 6-4 with one abstention that after the initial Hep B shot, parents should consult with healthcare providers to consider whether their child should have a serology test, which would show whether they had antibodies considered sufficient to protect them against the disease.

The committee voted to update the CDC Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program funding to match ACIP’s recommendations. Several committee members, including Meissner and Hibbeln, abstained from voting on the VFC resolution, protesting that they didn’t understand the implications of the vote — reflecting some of the disagreement that pervaded the two-day meeting.

The votes on the Hep B vaccine were originally scheduled for the September meeting, but were deferred to allow the CDC work group to put together more data to inform the committee’s decision.

Today’s vote was postponed from yesterday so members could have more time to review the language of the proposal.

Like flying in a plane that wasn’t safety tested?

The decision to postpone followed a contentious day-long meeting on Thursday, during which some members of the committee and liaisons from professional associations argued there was no need to change the recommendation, because there was no “evidence of harm” from the vaccine.

Advocates for changing the recommendation pointed to a near-complete lack of safety data — small clinical trials for the vaccines tracked infants for a week or less after the shot and little follow-up research on autoimmune and neurological disorders.

Big differences of opinion persisted at today’s meeting.

ACIP member Retsef Levi, Ph.D., said that for parents whose children were at extremely low risk, the decision to give them the vaccine was analogous to flying in a plane — they wouldn’t get in a plane that hadn’t been safety tested, why should they give their child a vaccine that hadn’t been safety tested.

Meissner disagreed, saying, “We know vaccines are safe. There is no question that the COVID vaccine recommendations were dishonest, disingenuous, but the hepatitis B vaccine is very well established.”

In opening remarks, Dr. Robert Malone — who chaired the meeting because the newly named committee chairperson, Dr. Kirk Milhoun, is traveling — said “the credibility of the ACIP rests not on speed, but on rigor.”

Commenting on the heated discussions during Thursday’s meeting, Milhoun said that scientific debates are necessarily contentious.

“If they are not contentious, if they are not approached with rigor, then we end up with bad decisions. We end up with bad science. We must actively engage in responsible debate concerning contentious issues. We must boldly address change, risk new ideas, and conflicting hypotheses, which is the proper nature of evidence-based science.”

Dr. Jason Goldman, a liaison to the ACIP for the American College of Physicians, attacked opposing viewpoints as unscientific. Goldman said the Hep B vaccine discussion was “an unnecessary solution looking for a problem.”

‘If adults won’t go for the shots, then give them to babies’

The Hep B vaccine has been universally recommended for infants since 1991. The first shot is currently given within 24 hours after birth to prevent infection with hepatitis B from mothers who carry the disease — less than 0.5% of mothers.

Mothers can be tested in the hospital to determine whether they have the disease, and current tests have a 100% accuracy rate, according to FDA ex officio ACIP participant Tracy Beth Høeg, M.D., Ph.D.

However, a 1991 New York Times article posted on Substack yesterday by Dr. Meryl Nass showed that when the universal shot was rolled out, the goal was not to prevent maternal transmission — the goal was to prevent adult cases, at a time when adult cases were deemed a national crisis. However, adults commonly didn’t get the shot.

“If adults won’t go for the shots, then give them to babies,” the article said.

Following Thursday’s meeting, legacy media attacked the committee and the CDC’s presenters and highlighted charges of misinformation by liaison members.
Liaisons are nonvoting members from professional medical organizations who can offer their opinions and advice to the committee.

Representatives from some of those groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Medical Association (AMA), were disinvited in August from participation in the workgroups due to conflicts of interest.

Since then, the AAP has boycotted the ACIP meetings

At the start of today’s meeting, Meissner castigated AAP for this move. He said he was concerned that by not participating, they would be seen as being more focused on making a political statement than attending to the health of children.

He said that pediatricians should be part of the discussions. “Refusal to participate in the ACIP meetings does not appear to be in the best interest of children.”

Immediately following today’s vote, the Times quoted “experts” from some of the staunchest advocates for all vaccines on the childhood schedule, such as the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy, Michael Osterholm, Ph.D., saying that the vote shows federal health authorities can no longer be trusted.

Osterholm, a member of the COVID-19 Advisory Board under the Biden administration, is one of the key players in the “Vaccine Integrity Project,” funded by iAlumbra, a nonprofit founded by Walmart heiress and philanthropist Christy Walton. The project plans to make its own vaccine recommendations.


Vaccine recommendations ‘should not be treated as mandates’

During the day-and-a-half-long discussion about the Hep B vaccine, several committee members, including Dr. Evelyn Griffin, raised concerns that the birth recommendation posed challenges for informed consent, because mothers who had just delivered babies were not in a position to calmly evaluate risks and benefits.

Others, including Levi, argued that the vaccine requirements for children to attend school effectively functioned as mandates.

Liaison members universally disagreed that the recommendations were mandates and argued that ACIP recommendations were really only recommendations, and parents could do what they wanted.

CDC ex officio member, Dr. Adam Langer, who was opposed to changing the recommendation, said that the recommendations had come to function as mandates, but that was not the intention. He proposed the committee make a formal statement that “all vaccine recommendations are recommendations. They should not be treated as mandates.”

He added that mandates put in place by state and local jurisdictions were “problematic.”

“We have a lot of challenges with our culture and our traditions in this country, with telling people what they must and must not do. But that’s not what we’re saying here. We’re saying that at the population level, in the majority of cases, this is what the sign shows is the best practice.”

He said providers should always make the best decision for the individual patient they are working with. “That’s the reason why you’ve been entrusted with a license to practice medicine.”
