The Bogus Health “Movement” to Keep You From Your Grandkids

Picture this…

You’re packing up the car, getting ready to head to the hospital to meet a new grandchild.

It should be an exciting day… but then a strange email arrives.

It’s from the baby’s mother or father, telling you that you can’t meet the newest addition to your family.

Not until you’re up to date on your vaccinations.

The wording seems odd… almost like your family member copied and pasted a medical form letter, and sent it under their own signature.

Well, friend, you’re not imagining things – that’s exactly what’s happening.

An out-of-control medical group is spearheading a movement that will keep countless grandparents away from their grandchildren.

It’s based on science that was debunked years ago… could actually be harmful to babies… and is tearing families apart.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has been around for about 95 years.

And for 15 of those years, we’ve known that a policy they advocate – called “cocooning” – doesn’t work.

But, somehow, they’re still not accepting the truth.

Cocooning is the practice of keeping adults away from newborn babies until those adults are up to date on their vaccinations.

Of course, the AAP is “all in” on cocooning. They even have a deeply offensive form letter new parents can send telling you to stay away from their kids.

And this goes way beyond advising you to get a polio or whooping cough shot, friend. They’re even pushing ineffective vaccines like the flu shot, which was a total dud again this year.

Cocooning is a big problem for older adults, in particular, because many of today’s vaccines weren’t recommended or available when American seniors were kids.

But the biggest problems with cocooning, like I said, are that:

#1: We know for a fact that it doesn’t work

#2: It is potentially harmful to babies.

Back in 2011, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention even admitted it was an “insufficient strategy” for protecting kids.

So that knowledge has been around for 15 years.

Then, in 2016, a coalition of federal and state health officials published a study on cocooning in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. They concluded that:

“There is now general agreement that [cocooning] is costly, is plagued with implementation challenges, and has uncertain effectiveness.”

General agreement. But not within the AAP, I guess.

Worse still, several vaccines can actually increase your chances of transmitting an illness to a newborn.

The nasal flu vaccine actually sheds live virus for days.

Other vaccines, like COVID, whooping cough, and rotavirus, still allow you to transmit infections. The danger here is that the vaccines can suppress symptoms – so you might be infected and contagious without realizing it.

Now, groups like the AAP have access to all of the same research I’m sharing with you – including the previous conclusions that cocooning is ineffective.

But they’re pushing it anyway.

That’s not “following the science.” That’s zealotry.

Listen, this isn’t about being pro-vax or anti-vax. This is about calling out an ineffective recommendation that has the potential to cause deep hurt and divisions within families.

So hang onto this eletter. If you’re ever hit with one of those form emails after a new birth, you’ll know what to do.

Just pass this eletter along – and let them know you’re not going to be bullied by junk science.
