AAP pushes vaccines for adults before visiting newborns despite concerns


The following is from Children’s Health Defense.


A long-promoted practice requiring family members to be vaccinated before visiting newborns — known as cocooning — is drawing renewed scrutiny.

The approach was introduced in 2004 to protect infants too young to be vaccinated, particularly against whooping cough.

However, federal health officials have acknowledged limitations. The CDC has said the strategy is costly, difficult to implement and has uncertain effectiveness, and previously described it as insufficient to prevent illness in newborns.

Despite that, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) continues to promote cocooning and recommends it not only for whooping cough, but also for illnesses such as flu and RSV.

The AAP also advises that visitors be up to date on vaccines before seeing a newborn and even provides sample messages families can send to enforce the policy.

Some physicians dispute the approach.

They argue certain vaccines, including those for pertussis, may not prevent transmission and could allow asymptomatic spread.

“The current vaccine does not prevent infection … and it does not prevent transmitting the infection.”
— Dr. Paul Thomas

Critics say this could undermine the goal of protecting infants and raise questions about requiring vaccination for visitors.

They also point to potential unintended consequences, including strain on families and reduced support for new parents.

“No vaccine, no visit rules cause real harm … family tension, isolation and increased risk of postpartum depression.”
Dr. Robert Malone

Mainstream health organizations continue to recommend the practice, while critics argue more research is needed on its effectiveness and impact.

  1. The AAP is just another fascist tool the vaccine makers use to get their products into people’s arms. I wish RFK Jr. would put them out of business. The business of trying to mandate snake oil for profit.

    Re : that Experimental Gene Injection ( SADISTS in the medical
    community FORCED that treatment, to get the pleasure from
    inflicting PAIN on people/patients, who are mostly masochistic )

    Soon-To-Be-Mothers ought to give birth
    outside the hospital, on the front lawn or
    in the parking lot, as hospitals remain the
    4th-leading cause of deaths in America.

    And—are all hospital staff certifiably clean
    of contagion ?—and can they be TRUSTED ?,
    after forcing multi-millions – too many of
    whom unnecessarily died or suffered a
    debilitating blood-borne illness – from
    receiving
    that
    Experimental Gene Injection ( my term ),
    during
    that
    worldwide S C A M D E M I C, formulated/
    hatched by those Shadow Government folks
    ( Illuminati / Bank of London / Rothschild
    ( communistic Jews ) / Satanist CABAL ?

    Seer/Psychic Edgar Cayce had advised :
    taking/ingesting once/day : a salad comprised
    of leaf lettuce ( not headed lettuce ), carrots,
    and celery offer protection from blood-
    contaminating bugs ( see page 312 of
    “The Edgar Cayce Companion” – $8.00
    used – and count-up 5 paragraphs from bottom
    of page for his PROTECTIVE remedy ).

    The original advice given to a woman worried
    about which vaccinations she needed before
    traveling overseas ( Cayce got a little terse with
    her for having asked a second time—so he
    emphasized, again, that that salad would
    protect/improve her blood/system immunity ).

    P.S.

    There is a book about the health protection
    from drinking celery juice; and we learned,
    recently, how vitamin A ( in carrots ) can ease
    measle conditions at mid-stage .
