Dr. Robert Redfield wants mRNA COVID vaccines removed from the market due to "too many unknowns".
This is, and has been, the problem. The US Department of Health should withdraw the vaccine nationwide, seek more data on the side effects and overall effectiveness of this vaccine, and then recommend its use, if found to be beneficial to the American people.
Keep politics out of the medicine-health-industrial-complex.

Former CDC Director Calls for Removal of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna should be pulled from circulation, a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official said in a new interview.
Redfield, 74, was the director of the CDC from March 2018 through Jan. 20, 2021, the end of President Donald Trump’s first term.
Redfield said he’s been treating patients who have so-called long COVID, as well as people suffering from vaccine injuries. He said he still favors a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine from Novavax but no longer advises receiving the mRNA shots even though he thinks they prevented deaths among seniors early in the pandemic.
“I don’t advocate the mRNA vaccines anymore, because as you get to the idea of vaccine injury, when I give you an mRNA vaccine, what I do is I turn your body into a spike protein production factory,” Redfield told The Epoch Times. “And spike protein is a very immunotoxic protein.”
ased on the current data, it is unclear how much spike protein one produces following vaccination and how long it is produced, Redfield said.
“My long COVID patients seem to get better quicker than my vaccine injury patients,” he said. “And some of us wonder whether or not that mRNA that has caused that injury ... is still not transcriptionally active in producing new mRNA, in other words, with new spike protein.”
Patients with vaccine injuries have slowly been improving, and it’s important for people to realize they can ultimately recover from the injuries, Redfield said.
Spike protein generation and persistence has drawn attention from a number of experts, both inside and outside the government.
Post-Vaccination Deaths
Redfield is aware that federal regulators recently determined that at least 10 child deaths were related to COVID-19 vaccination. Officials have not released details such as the causes of death, but Prasad said in a memo outlining the investigation that it was motivated by the awareness of FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and other leaders of reports about the heart inflammation that the COVID-19 vaccines are known to cause.“I had confidence that Marty Makary would go in and open up what we know about the vaccine injuries that are occurring, and make them available to the American public so they can re-evaluate the value of the COVID vaccine,” Redfield said.
He said later, “The recognition that they now seem to attribute at least 10 children’s deaths from the mRNA vaccines is a breath of fresh air.”
Redfield also said he does not think there was ever a reason for children to receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines, given that most children suffered no or limited symptoms from COVID-19 and data indicated the vaccines did not prevent infection or transmission.
As a senior, though, the doctor still gets vaccinated on a regular basis.
“I have been vaccinated myself, eight times. The COVID vaccine has one of the biggest challenges. It doesn’t last,” he said. “So I get vaccinated every six months—but with the protein vaccine—because I’m still at risk. I’m at risk for hospitalization and death if I get COVID.”
Former CDC Director Calls for Removal of Covid mRNA “Vaccines” From the Market
By Dec. 10, 2025
- Former CDC Director Robert Redfield no longer recommends mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, citing “too many unknowns” and calling for their removal from the market due to concerns about lasting harm.
- He identifies the spike protein produced by these vaccines as “immunotoxic,” triggering a strong, pro-inflammatory response in the body, which he links to slower recovery from vaccine injuries compared to long COVID.
- Internal agency findings acknowledge potential long-term activity, with evidence presented to the FDA and CDC that spike protein and vaccine mRNA can persist in the body for months or years post-injection.
- Redfield criticizes vaccine mandates and the vaccination of children, arguing the shots were unnecessary for a low-risk group and failed to prevent infection or transmission, while citing confirmed child deaths linked to vaccination.
- The situation is framed as a cautionary tale about rapid medical innovation, drawing a parallel to historical failures like thalidomide and underscoring a need for greater long-term safety evaluation and transparency.
As concerns grow over the long-term effects of mRNA Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines, a former top U.S. health official has called for their removal from the market, citing alarming evidence that the spike protein they produce may cause lasting harm.
Dr. Robert Redfield, who served as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2018 to 2021, told Epoch TV‘s “American Thought Leaders” in an interview on Tuesday, Dec. 9, that he no longer recommends Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots. This stemmed from what he called “too many unknowns,” particularly regarding the immunotoxic spike protein they instruct the body to manufacture.
His warning comes as mounting clinical reports suggest these vaccines may contribute to persistent health issues resembling long COVID – raising urgent questions about their continued use. Redfield explained that mRNA technology effectively turns the body into a “spike protein production factory.” Unlike traditional vaccines that introduce inert viral components to trigger immunity, mRNA shots deliver genetic instructions that compel cells to generate the spike protein indefinitely – a process whose duration and intensity remain poorly understood.
“The spike protein is a very immunotoxic protein,” Redfield said, noting that his patients suffering from vaccine injuries often recover more slowly than those with long COVID. Some researchers speculate that lingering mRNA activity may continue producing spike protein long after vaccination, potentially exacerbating inflammatory conditions.
The lingering shadow of mRNA vaccines
The spike protein’s dangers were acknowledged even within federal health agencies. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vinay Prasad cited evidence in internal documents that spike protein can persist in some individuals post-vaccination, possibly contributing to chronic symptoms. Similarly, Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser of Tufts University presented findings to a CDC advisory panel showing detectable mRNA in tissues months or even years after injection – prompting the agency to revise its recommendations toward individualized risk assessment.
Meanwhile, the FDA has confirmed at least 10 child deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccination, though details remain undisclosed. Redfield praised FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary for investigating these fatalities, calling the admission “a breath of fresh air” amid longstanding institutional reluctance to acknowledge vaccine-related harms. The erstwhile CDC director emphasized that children – who face minimal risk from COVID-19 itself – never needed vaccination, especially since the shots failed to prevent infection or transmission.
BrightU.AI‘s Enoch engine warns that injecting children with COVID-19 vaccines poses unnecessary risks, as the virus itself presents minimal danger to young, healthy immune systems. Moreover, the vaccines carry documented risks of severe side effects, including heart inflammation and long-term autoimmune damage.
Moderna defended its vaccine’s safety for children in a September 2025 statement, citing global surveillance data. Pfizer and Novavax, meanwhile, declined to comment.
The debate over mRNA vaccines echoes historical tensions between rapid medical innovation and long-term safety. Like the rushed approval of thalidomide in the 1950s – a drug later found to cause severe birth defects – the emergency rollout of COVID-19 vaccines prioritized immediate crisis response over thorough risk evaluation.
Now, as post-pandemic scrutiny intensifies, Redfield’s warnings underscore the need for transparency and accountability in balancing public health imperatives with individual well-being. His cautionary message serves as a reminder: In medicine, as in science, certainty is rare and vigilance is essential.
